This is a lovely bit of footage that really shows what this famous initial section up Everest is like, a total jumble of huge ice boulders and crevasses. However, the sunny day, the roped paths and fast pace is hiding the mental and physical realities involved in reaching the summit. For those who think this looks easy, you should know that the only people who can make it to the higher camps on the mountain and onto the summit are experienced people who have been saving money for ages, training hard for ages, researching for ages, acclimatising for weeks and even then they have to push through all sorts of painful discomforts like cold, fear, desperate tiredness, altitude headaches and blisters etc. This film is showing one of the initial acclimatization treks.

@@angiesavage2500in terms of base height there are many mountains that are in the same league as everest. Everest (without the already high bottom of 5364) is 3484 meters high. For example, in the Alps there are several mountains that are that high. The difference with those 7000-8000ers is that they're are high (but not unusual high) mountains that are also standing on a really high Plateau: ground. And in a height like that the air is very very thin, which is not the case for other mountains of the Same height but with a "small" ground (like 100-1000 meters ) For reference in that terms, the Mauna kea above sea level is more than 700 meters higher than the mount everest. I have that feeling that many people think that the mountain itself is over 8 km high, but it's only the top of the mountain compared to sea level, not the mountain range

I imagine you need something like a welders mask glasses for Everest. But it's slightly more complicated than that. I mean, if you get excess light from the sides that will tire your eyes, those glasses aren't good. Should absolutely cover at least 99% of eyesight and should limit light intake from the sides, but still allow to distinguish forwards. As far as I know, there are heliomatic glasses, but other than that, I don't know of glasses with manual configuration of brightness. So I imagine these mountaineers have several types of glasses for various periods of the day. BTW heliomatic glasses are glasses that have photochromic lens. Which means, they are lens in glasses that get progressively darker based on how much sun is around. I had those kind of glasses, and now that I think about it, they were very useful when skiing, precisely for that reason. Not only they would protect the eyes from wind and water and possibly snowflakes (which when skiing is a much bigger thing then when walking), but also, they were very useful with snow blindness. Do you guys use those?

Great video, and I'm still amazed how huge this mountain is. I would never be on it but admire everyone's courage.
I live with a mountain range at about a little over 13,000 feet at it’s highest peak. I can’t begin to tell you how massive they are. They are part of the Rocky/Uintah Mountain Range. Very beautiful and majestic mountains. However, I can begin to understand what the feeling of being at cruising altitude of plane is like. Or I will do you one better. My brain has a hard time understanding how massive Everest must be. That’s just something that my brain cannot process
@@angiesavage2500in terms of base height there are many mountains that are in the same league as everest. Everest (without the already high bottom of 5364) is 3484 meters high. For example, in the Alps there are several mountains that are that high. The difference with those 7000-8000ers is that they're are high (but not unusual high) mountains that are also standing on a really high Plateau: ground. And in a height like that the air is very very thin, which is not the case for other mountains of the Same height but with a "small" ground (like 100-1000 meters ) For reference in that terms, the Mauna kea above sea level is more than 700 meters higher than the mount everest. I have that feeling that many people think that the mountain itself is over 8 km high, but it's only the top of the mountain compared to sea level, not the mountain range
@@thejohnson2328 thank you for the food for 💭 thought. You have given me a lot to think about and I’m going to do some research. Thank you and stay blessed 😇
@@angiesavage2500 you're welcome! And thanks wishing the same to you🙌🏻
As someone with BIG everest dreams thank you for providing this amazing and unique footage!
Im guessing the weather conditions were perfect, it looked like a gorgeous day.
Amazing video I've always heard about the Ice Fall this really puts into perspective for me well done sir
Awesome work mate and happy your alive . I’ve been watching a lot of documentary’s on k2 and Everest, you move so smooth👍 I wanna see a video of you on the summit and 2 hours before 💙😊
Amazing video. I think I would of tripped at several spots. The ladders are so scary. I wish more people would watch these videos and vicariously climb Everest. The place has become like a theme park with overcrowding and trash.
Lenyűgöző, csodálatos videó! Köszönjük!💟
Thank you for sharing this with us. Fantastic footage.
The shelf to the step is the part that gets me.. imagine all those years of pain and you’re finally within 2000’ of the summit.. and you’re also now dying, no matter how strong you are. Amazing feat. Thank you for sharing.
Phenomenal skill, sure footed like a mountain goat - incredible footage. I got vertigo just watching parts of this ! Thank you so much for sharing with us all.
That was amazing. I enjoyed watching it. I felt exhausted. Take care, gentlemen!
Amazing footage. Puts in perspective “Into thin air” that I’ve just finished reading.
My lungs are hurting after watching the video!!! Hats off to you guys
What an incredible footage. Thank you for posting.
Amazing footage. So beautiful trek.
Its crazy to see close up of how Everest look like. I wouldn't want to walk there at night or daytime. I am way too clumsy.
You and me both! What a disaster we would be!
@@janisbaumrucker3431 Me too :)
Ugh same! lol
Nice video! Imagine reaching the summit and during descent you need also again through the icefall when you're very tired.
I wonder if they're allowed to stay an extra night ot two in camp one before the final descent. Most of them would probably rather get off the mountain ASAP
I have a muscle disease similar to ALS, though not as deadly. Nevertheless, I could never do something like this, which makes it all the more fascinating to me. This puts me right there! Thank you, thank you! 😁 An adventure I have perpetual dreams of.
"This puts me right there!" - Minus the cold temperature and the thin air...
@@TecraX2 Oh! Well then thank you for that astute observation, Captain Obvious. Although, from my unique perspective it appears the thinnest air is where you are sitting, writing this reply. Hope all is well - maybe check on the people living with you.
What is the name of disease?

Beautiful day for climbing you killed it and thank you for sharing 🙏🏽 you guys honestly look like children just exploring. I guess you probably do feel like that kinda like a sportbike full speed ahead!!
An absolutely true professional. Wonderful for sharing with us.😮
Congratulations on making it back alive. This is beautiful.
Great video and incredible technique! Congratulations!
Thank you for sharing this! One could not describe this in words what you show us there. Not sure i will ever get to 8000+ but just seeing "true" footage of Everest and the others is just so inspiring and also eye-opening for me.
Amazing video, gives a great perspective of what crossing this landscape is like. Now i want to see the video from the Sherpa that was the first to cross it without the ropes and trail. RIP to the ones that didn’t make it this year 2023.
incredible, how they always find a way trough this maze.... thx for the footage!
Thanks for the great footage. Enjoyed it!

No stupid music 👍👍👍 just sounds of nature💙
Great footage! Thank You and big respect!
Thank you so much for this CLIP - its soooo interesting to go with you on this tour..... I would like to see MORE
Nice video 🥰🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻.. Clear picture everast.. Thankyou 🥰🥰🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
congratulations, and thank you for this beautiful video in real conditions. I really noticed how the mountaineers were respectful towards others, especially by letting others pass! Thanks !
Glad you're all well, this was absolutely incredible & terrifying. Looks like a totally new planet.
You guys are the real heroes ❤ thanks for this amazing video brother
Sherpas are the REAL heroes.
Just so incredible! If you have even more video of Everest, please publish! I will only ever go there through videos like yours. Thank you!!!
Loved the sound as the person walks!
Sweet video. Thanks for posting
Superb clip, thanks for sharing...
I hope your cough cleared up by now. Great video, thanks for uploading.
beautiful, thank you for sharing
Exquisite in its simplicity and raw tension!
Well done man. I'm getting ready for Denali soon and can't wait!
Amazing Footage Alex! please post more!
Loved it! great way to understand how is that spot
Khumbu, great video, thank you. You rocked it!
It looks like a damn sidewalk up there some times. How many in your crew?
Some going up, some coming down.
You all took on Khumbu and rocked it. Congratulations. It's a good day.
I'd over to hear from you. Just a hi Harry. I'm a fan.
Thanks mate, there’s just the three of us moving together at this point.
The BEST video in KZhead about the very most dangerous part of Everest Summit. Khambu (Khumbu) Icefall is equal to the bottle neck of K2. Very informative video about the danger, perils and adventure summitting Mt. Everest! Great informative video! Thank you Alex Holt!
One of the most raw and best viceo clip of Everest climbing :)
thank you for sharing. I have often wondered if I could do this section of the climb and I think so long as those ropes and ladders are in place I might just be able to.
Espectacular video, con otra perspectiva distinta a los muchos que he visto. Es increíble ver la forma en que descienden y no solo observar sino vivirlo, me dió hasta temor cuando pasan la escalera y se ve el acantilado, los alpinistas son muy valientes los felicito.
This Video is tempting makes me wana try an Everest expedition. Awesome view and no traffic congestion 👌
Great job bro ✋ up you... Keep it 👆...
Thank you so much 🥺it's Beautiful beautiful beautiful ♥️
Sound of crushing snow and ice aamr ❤️
👌 espectacular..Algún día estaremos allá.
Thanks for taking us along with you for your adventure! Kudos to you…I know I wouldn’t be able to do it, I’m terrified of heights!
amazing footage, thx for Upload🙂
Stunningly beautiful. Must be exhilarating to climb down through such a wonder of Nature. Not for the feint hearted though. I'd rather stare up in awe than risk life and limb (and the perishing cold). Lovely bit of footage.
I love these advantures and my dream is to climbing Everest
Great video,thanks good luck 👋
really amazing . Warm greetings from Himalayan country 'Nepal"
Great video! I've never climbed a mountain, nor will I ever, nor have I ever even seen a big mountain, but I am reading Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer who mentions the Khumbu Icefall in his book and I wanted to get a visual of what it looked like.
Ditto!!! I am also reading "Into Thin Air"!!! Great book so far and this video shows much more than I have seen before. For a 61 year old female who has zero plans for mountain climbing; I am surprisingly obsessed with Everest videos and books!
Yep I agree with other comments here, we've seen lots of Everest videos but this one just hits different. Amazing video.
Best I see till so far !!! 🤩
You are doing great 👍
Csodálatos és félelmetes 🤍
Thank you, felt like I WAS walking with you.
It is still difficult to climb with ropes on a pre set and tested path. How difficult it would have been for the sherpas who every year lay these ropes ,set camps and find a path to the top.
Watch the video it really isn't. The Sherpas build up the path as they go and they stay safe. They're professionals dude pls don't disparage them.
@@garymitchell5899walking on a stair with railing is completely different than walking on a stair without one. Sense of security helps a lot more than you think, Sherpas take risk and that is what they are praised for. Settings tents, carrying heavier load, transporting supplies, bringing down trash/bodies, I think they are truly unsung heros.
I would def trip over my damn boots, right into a crevasse. Terrifying but love your footage!!! One of the MOST beautiful places (and cultures!) in the world.
Just Mindblowing
Awesome footage
It’s nice with the trails. It must be hard to be the first one to forge the path
I guess they look in front of them and find the best path.
Es como si hubviera estado alli. Gracias por subir tu video
Goddamn, those surrioundings are GORGEOUS! But you would never get me up there xD
I was there too ,at the same place !! woow insane ! 6 years ago already !
Struggles of Yours for Achieving the Goal to climb on Everest is Inspirational,But don't know why people put their life in such Dangerous situations.Hats of You all ❤ from INDIA 🇮🇳🙏
Amazing!
Awesome 👍
Every place has different difficult and mesmerising story❤ could fl it
I can’t imagine doing the ice falls quickly, although you guys are fast. I mean coming down to base camp from above because someone is sick, bringing them down just to go up again.
Deeply impressed, what a challenge by using fixed ropes 😂😂🎉🎉
This Amazing!
Awesome video. Gives a really good perspective of what you need to do to get through the ice fall. I've read you want to move quick, looks like you guys nailed that going down. Question, what was your climbing experience leading into Everest?
Thanks. That’s right it’s pretty sketchy so you want to reduce the time exposed to collapses. Prior to climbing Everest I had over 13 years climbing experience. Including two other 8000m summits (Cho Oyu & Lhotse), many big alpine routes like Eiger NF, lots of Scottish winter and rock climbing.
@@Alexholt90 really cool. I live in Colorado and have only hiked the 14ers here. This spring I'm taking a mountaineering course through Colorado Mountain school to learn skills I'll need for a Mt. Rainier climb I plan to do in 2024. After that who knows!
Good luck Rainier will be great
@@Alexholt90 thanks! I'm really excited about it.
I always wanted to see the brief conversations being spoken between the mountaineers as they encounter and pass each other
Great video. I have summited Everest twice & have been through the icefall more than a dozen times. Anybody contemplating summiting Everest shoud watch this. I still get chills even thinking about the icefall with all those seracs above you just waiting for the next avalanche.
This is amazing..
Thanx a lot. ❤ I did enjoyed this vedio.
Wow amazing video
I can easily see how they go blind. Hurts my eyes just watching the footage. Had to turn down the brightness on the computer. Damn, my eyes hurt. But there's also a psychological component isn't it? It's all so beautiful, I don't even want to blink. It's only because of repeated exposure to certain games, I know I couldn't play this "game". Fact that I'm a couch potato doesn't even factor in. But I am grateful for these images. Really really gorgeous. It's like watching astronauts on another planet. Ohhh, and the original sound is divine. Makes the whole experience even more beautiful. Thank you.
I imagine you need something like a welders mask glasses for Everest. But it's slightly more complicated than that. I mean, if you get excess light from the sides that will tire your eyes, those glasses aren't good. Should absolutely cover at least 99% of eyesight and should limit light intake from the sides, but still allow to distinguish forwards. As far as I know, there are heliomatic glasses, but other than that, I don't know of glasses with manual configuration of brightness. So I imagine these mountaineers have several types of glasses for various periods of the day. BTW heliomatic glasses are glasses that have photochromic lens. Which means, they are lens in glasses that get progressively darker based on how much sun is around. I had those kind of glasses, and now that I think about it, they were very useful when skiing, precisely for that reason. Not only they would protect the eyes from wind and water and possibly snowflakes (which when skiing is a much bigger thing then when walking), but also, they were very useful with snow blindness. Do you guys use those?
Great great video❤
Wonderful expedition
