Over the past 26 years, 16 expeditions have tried and failed to climb one of Pakistan's 8,000 meter peaks in winter.
In February 2011, Simone Moro, Denis Urubko, and Corey Richards became the first to achieve this alpine dream by summiting Gasherbrum II, surviving -50 degree temperatures and a massive avalanche. Richards captured both the glory and the pain of their adventure in this raw and moving, first-person look at modern super-alpinism.
These type of videos never become most popular on youtube, but they are exactly videos which relay most true "spirit" of climbing.

That’s 171 views per day over eight years. His point was accurate you just don’t comprehend it

People eating shit.people is come to degradation....
True alpine climbing right here. No Sherpas. No oxygen masks. No BS. Just your own body weight and your supplies ascending 8000 meters. Amazing spirit.
This is what is lacking on commercial mountains like everest FUCK CAPITALISM in mountaineering.
Tansher Singh you can still do Everest without commercial side of things, there are only two commercial routs the rest is open to you.
you still need a permit mate which costs $$$
they're shutting it down. wait for it. everest is nepal's cashcow. everest base camp is the worlds highest tourism resort.
AND he managed to turn his camera on for the avalanche....a real hero in my book!
I don’t know what say about this video.. I am a normal housewife and a mother who is most likely never doing something remotely close to this. I look for videos about climbing big mountains for hours hoping to satisfy my needs. Nothing is more satisfying than this one. For the first time I feel very close to the ppl in the video and their adventure. RESPECT
What r ur needs that is to be satisfied?

Go out and do some adventures! Who knows where it will take you!

Mad respect for these alpine heros.
yup! "let's get the fu*k out of here" I wonder how fast they came down knowing they had accomplished what they wanted, now gives them that motivation that nothing can stop me.
This deserves so much more recognition, it's a cinematic masterpiece.
around 70% of 8k peaks summited in winter was by Polish alpinist, rest 4 was Moro and his friends:) This winter is Polish National Expedition to last 8K mountain - hardest one K2. I believe Bielecki and Urubko will summit K2 this winter. Those guys are the best in this expedition team and in TOP10 in the world right now
Denis Urubko has polish passport ;)
Maybe in another day
Nirmal Purja could do it?
Lol come again?
Nepali did it this winter .8 nepali including nirmal purja .

Still super gangster! Well done my friend!
I appreciate being brought on this journey. The dialogue is so good. A classic horror movie with a happy ending!
such a beautiful video. Really impressive. Simone Moro and Denis Trubko are very big names in the world of mountains. But never heard about Corey Richards, it seems that he is talented filmmaker as well as an alpinist. Also good to see that mountains combine people from all around the world and even that big avalnches can't stop them. Hope to see more videos by Corey Richards.
this is genuinely insane, so much emotion, suspense and realism in the monologue, big fan.
According to my Dad, this was what it was like walking to school every day.
LMAO! Thanks for the laugh my friend!!
Really cracked me up...made my day...Thank u!!!
Lmfao
crack me up
wasn't it uphill both ways though?
I LOVED this shorty documentary!! Real feelings went into it. I don’t know how they do it. I once was stranded for over 24 hours in the worst blizzard in my pick up truck an out of gas after only 4 hours. My clothes mostly all wet from trying to hand dig out around my tires. The closest I have to even imagine what it is like to be at 7000 meters and above. He touched on it here. All you do is think about home, warmth, comfort, and those that you love. I was rescued by some huge military looking vehicle that the fire dept owns. They would only take me downtown a small town to their homeless shelter where I spent 2 nights sleeping on a hard floor with no bedding etc but welcomed the warmth. Made me realize How lucky I am after spending time with real homeless people. Rambling on here but that’s how I compare to what these guys go through.
Great comment
the real fear is, that in the very same moment you returned, you know that you will take the risk again. and again.
There is no actual rest
Very true. Once you do something crazy, there is no way that you can live a menial life after. Take Alex Honnold, or Joshua Slocum, or any mountaineer.
the addiction is real.
Because secretly we all crave a grand death.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Powerful video. The face Cory makes at 9:58 sums up all the hardships they endured. An amazing adventure and beautiful storytelling! Bravo!
Simone More is a true hero, he even used his own money to buy a helicopter for Nepalese people to go on rescue missions in the Himalyas. If the whole world were like him, suffering would be greatly reduced.
Awwww Yes, I remember buying my friends helicopters when they were in need. It’s a game changer, I’ll give you that... 🤦♂️
@@brotherspartacus4751 I think you took the message far too literally, I am not saying we should all buy helicopters for others. Simply a message for doing things for those that are less fortunate. Simone is in a position to buy helicopters, maybe someone else can afford a sandwich. One hand washes the other.
@@AgrippaMaxentius don't feed the trolls he knew exactly what you meant..
Well....at the same time he started a big fight with Nepalese a few years ago
He started the fight? Another braindead troll...
Damn! UA-cam is recommending some good shits to me these day!.. About life.. About the world around us. I feel really inspired.
Make sure you do something with your life turn that inspiration into action bless you
I was cold just watching this.....and I live in southern Arizona. These are some tough dudes.
Phoenix arizona
On the summit the temperature is -50 with the wind blowing at 45 mph. This would be a windchill of -100 degrees F. Damn!!
There is so much emotion going through his face after the avalanche you could feel it
Simone you're a star!
Better than any of the Everest or K2 documentaries!.... this captured to true essence of how it feels to scale such a Beast!.... well done to ALL involved in this summit!... Not easy in the best conditions!.... more than 40 below must make it near on IMPOSSIBLE!
I watch a lot of alpine climbing videos. This may be the best one I've seen yet. It feels more real than the others. The suffering, the self doubt, the gruesome reminder of possible failure, and the cold.
Truly epic!
Simone, Denis & Corey, you guys are incredible...
Wow, i am awestruck! This film should've been on everyone's recommendation. I feel lucky i got a chance to watch this. There is love in each step towards hope!
I could see this film 10 times in a row...Just PERFECT !!!!
The mountain, so immensely huge, it makes you realize how tiny you are. The terrain, so remote, you realize how alone you really are.
......then, the night falls. the stars shine. the universe reminds you that you live on a cosmic speck of dust. A speck of dust with peaks and valleys that make a human feel like an ant.
.....and compared to the sun, our speck is still tiny......and compared to larger stars, our sun is still tiny.
such tiny, insignificant critters, we are.....blessed with the gift of being part of the universe as well as being conscious.
pretty outstanding, being alive....
How could anybody give this a thumbs down ?! The strength and courage it took to do this, AND TO EVEN FILM DURING THIS ?! What ?! This is absolutely amazing.
Bots man
@@blakeweston7593 I had no idea that is a thing. For what purpose?
Prob the crappy narration
"What the fuck am I doing here?" that's 'type 2' fun in a nutshell.
This movie deserves more views!
While 8 years later I pass to my friends ;)
Denis Urubko = Terminator
Simone Moro had such a good attitude in all of the scenes. What a beast. What a legend. Amazing video.
The Polish ice warriors have been doing winter ascents to all of the 8000m peaks since 1980. Simone and Dennis are definitely the elite.
@dan flunk late Ali Sadpara. Tried summit K2 in Jan 2021 but couldn't descend. RIP.
@random critique yes, ali sadpara was FIRST and moro/txicon second
Polish wtf?? Simone is Italian, Denis is Russian.🇷🇺
@@zm23f No shit Sherlock...reading comprehention says hello. I was saying that the Poles have been climbing in winter since 1980 and that Moro and Urubko are legends in their own way. Never said they were Polish.
Yeap....best intro ever- “ WTF AM I DOING HERE?”.....👊👊👊👊👊
Great video, many Thanx ✌🏻✌🏻
simone moro: little man with huge courage!
That was truly beautiful. I know only Polish mountains, but this year got lost two times in the winter with almost zero visibility what made me stressed. For now cannot imagine the feeling of being lost at the altitude of 5-8 km, but can comprehend the feeling of being cold. Strong will required. Great video.
Very moving storytelling and filming, and how courageous you all are! thank you!
.....These are the moments that we realized hoe wonderful is to be alive! These guys are real mountaineers ! I'm soo happy that Mother Nature and God decided to kept you alive!
it was so dangerous nd difficult!
I admire your dare I really appreciate you!
I want to selute you!
I love my country Pakistan!
"Beautiful, Spectacular, Free, but it's just so cold" No better way to describe mountaineering. This was beautiful!
I say this with all sincerity, you are my hero! Incredible accomplishment, inspiring. Thanks for sharing the footage.
The Hero's of Mountains. Welcome again and again and again in Pakistan / Support from Pakistan
I am happy that you all got lucky and survived that avalanche, didnt know the story would turn like this. Wow
I dont have words to praise you people......i feel that mountaineers have nerves of steel......
sitting in a comfort zone in house its a pleasure to watch these videos but if i think from your point of view my heart stands pounding because the amount of risk you people took to make this priceless video is worth watching........Long Live you people.....
It makes things really convenient for me that instead of doing this myself I can just watch it on UA-cam. 😂😎
But he leaves a worthy legacy.
We just watched it on our phones. Lol. I sadly feel bad about myself.
This is AMAZING.
I'll forever praise youtube and the space it's given to production as this one.
Again, this is amazing.
7:46 When he realized that he forgot the selfie stick at home.
Unbelievably real and honest film...very impressive! One of the best I have seen of the mountaineering films. I dont know how you all did it in those temperatures. Full respect!
His comments being so true to what has gone through my mind, the doubts, etc.. Great short film - bravo for being honest and sincere.
PURELY STUNNING. The best video i've seen so far...
I'm amazed and speachless...
This touched my soul and heart and brought tears to my eyes. This is a beautiful video that every person alive should witness
One of my all time favorite climbing vid
I've watched many of theses climbing videos and despite it's short length, I've found it to be the most compelling of all of them.
Think of Kukuczka, who smoked a dozen sigarettes and drunk some vodka hours before climbing the most dengerous mountain of the planet. Annapurna. He did it on winter with self made wool clothes and with workers boots. Poles are kings of Himalayas indeed.
A hard hard dog that great man was!
Kukuczka always says that climbing is in our minds and hearts even if we wear cosmic pro clothes and get full expedition suite but in our courage and brave heart didn't prepare for climb then we don't reach the skies...
Lol because they have lots of peaks in their backyards to practise on every day
He also lost a bunch of digits so there's that to consider....
@@WhereisAF ???? It is not known that he lost fingers..... he lost his life due to a heart attack thou
Beautiful, moving, wish there was more...
Making light of seemingly serious situations is psychologically the best way to deal with them. You perform better, are more relaxed (meaning better bloodflow), and cause less undue stress on yourself. Simone was joking about Denis's near death experience in the cravasse because- what else are you gonna do? Talk about how serious it was and compound the stress even further? Its not like Simone wast aware of how serious the situation was- he's a world class expert. Laugh over spilled milk, then clean it up. Tbh if the narrators commentary wasn't exaggerated, and really was what was going on in his head at the time, he should not have been up there.
Simone Moro I love you like a brother and I respect you. And eternal memory to Anatoly Bukreev.I from Russia.
*MINUS 50 Degrees? THAT'S RIDICULOUS!* Even with state of the art climbing gear that's still ridiculous. You still could end up losing all your toes and fingers, and thats IF you come back alive. Amazing these guys did it!
Here in Norway there are a few places that the temp can drop to 50 in winter, its very rear but i experienced it some years ago, its insane, the moisture in your nose freezes to ice each time you try to bread. I can't imagine living outside climbing in those temperatures, thees guys are incredible.
Haha, I’ve been at -50 with wind chill on the summit of a mountain in the Canadian Rockies at night in winter alone!! I was wearing old navy fleece pants (with 2 baselayers) and 3 pairs of cheap gloves. I spent about... 90 seconds on the summit! Haha. (I also knew if I got hurt I’d probably wouldn’t last overnight)
This is a beautiful film. Admittedly, I still do not understand the force, the calling that brings people to these beautiful, but desolate places on earth. What is it about themselves that they need to know so badly they would risk a frozen death? I've climbed before, nothing over 10,000 ft, but it was beautiful, serene and I felt such a huge sense of accomplishment. Do these mountaineers become resistant to the feelings of success at lower altitudes and must go ever higher to experience the same joy and euphoria? I'm so glad these men made it off the mountain alive, so many of these videos are about those who didn't. Peace from Canada!
If you've ever felt demotivated in soaking wet rain between 30-40 degrees F or 0-10 C then multiply that by about 5, and thats what they feel.
Such a great film. It really moved me. Climbing the mountain appears like human madness, not bravery. But telling about it and making the film is brave!
Those Fahrenheit and feets are tricky for people outside US, so I had to use a converter to understand.
Very high and very cold 👍🏻

Pushing your limits is the only way to know what your limits are.
And then there is this one time when you want to push your limits just a bit further, but this time you face your limits and die as a consequence.
I'm pretty sure I don't need to recklessly die on a fucking mountain to push my limits. All these idiots are just adrenaline seeking junkies. Throwing their bodies at the most extreme situations hanging by a thin thread of survival just for the rush of it if they can make it out alive. Fuck all that. I tell you what. You want to push your fucking limits? Start by cleaning your fucking house weekly. Do your fucking laundry on time. Give your loved ones enough attention. Be patient in every situation. Yeah thats how you push your limits. Not by fucking yeeting yourself at a mountain.

Some moments, in some climbing films, get fixed in my mind. All of this film was great, but the summit shots, the rawness of it all and the feeling of isolation and vulnerability, were superb. Unforgettable!
it is very difficult , and dangerous in winter. -50 and 100 m/h wind gusts.
Very Danger
That's really one of the best videos of mountaineering I have ever seen because I am right beside you. You really bring home just how inhospitable these remote parts of our planet are. I'm to old to climb but I love walking in the north Indian Himalayas. I hope I can go back soon and See my friends. Such beauty.

Amazing feat. I wonder if I would ever cry? My intuition says there's no use for it in such a death-in-face situation, but then again I havent experienced anything close to this. I wouldn't, no family like him. No fear of death.
This video is a masterpiece. Coming back to this for more than 10 years.
Love for wilderness that's all I can say..
I’m an athlete past his prime & never been a mountaineer; however I very much appreciate mountaineers posting their climbs. It’s extremely interesting to me. Thank you 😎
Speechless
I fall asleep to videos like this. Can’t imagine being up there miserably cold and terrified. Respect
Congratulations lads
This is amazing. I’ve been camping in blizzards with wind gusts from 75 to 100mph and it’s rough. With winds that fast your tent will literally collapse down to a couple inches from your face and expand back to normal with the gusts. I couldn’t imagine doing what these guys did at 25,000 feet or higher.
Magnificent!!!
