Mt Everest South Approach and North Approach
Вставка

- My goal was to climb Mt. Everest by both the South approach in Nepal and the North approach in Tibet. On my second attempt, at age 67, I reached the summit from the South approach on May 23, 2009, becoming the oldest American to reach the summit and return alive. After four attempts, at age 72, I reached the summit from the North approach on May 25, 2014. I broke my 2009 record and became the oldest person living outside of Asia to reach the summit.This video documents those two climbs.
I have posted two versions of the Mt. Everest South Approach and North Approach video. This version, titled "Mt. Everest South Approach and North Approach," includes just the climbs of Mt. Everest from those two approaches. The other version, titled "Mt. Everest South Approach and North Approach Long," is slightly longer because it includes the 35-mile trek to Base Camp on the South Approach.
For more information on the South and North approaches, and my assessment of which approach is the most difficult, visit my website: eightsummits.com/mt-everest/.
My uncle died descending on north side just above the second step, 32 years ago on the 1990 American expedition at the young age of 33, but my father successful did it on last year's American expedition at 64 years old to honor his brother, I thought he was crazy and would surely follow in my uncle's footsteps but he did it at over twice my uncle's age when he died, my father passed away 11 days ago from a sudden heart attack on his 65th birthday, I'm just here to honor my uncle Darren Hosier and my Father, Mitchell Hosier
Way to HONOR your HONORABLE DAD! You have GREAT DNA young man! I am NOT a betting person but if I was I betting the apple didn't fall far from the tree and you will do HONOR to yourself. Doesn't mean you will get accolades, but YOU will "know" you did GOOD!
That's a really nice memory of your family and a really remarkable thing your dad did. Do you have any plans to summit
My sincere condolences, but No Americans died on the mountain in 1990…No mention of your Uncle or father anywhere in Everest Logs. Why So?🤔
@@stevenjuranovich2971 I looked that up too. I only know of four deaths on Everest in 1990 and none were American.
There's no record of your uncle & your father in Everest list. I hate to break it to u man, your uncle probably still alive & your father probably hit by sudden heart attack when he knew that he summitted wrong mountain
summiting Everest at 72 yrs old, God bless brother! I became disabled at age 40 and now at 53 i can no longer walk or stand up straight thanks to a rare spinal disease. I love these videos because it gives me a view into world i can no longer see for myself. They should make a movie about your 2 summits. At your age i think it’s incredible
Thank you sir, you are very kind. God Bless You,
Bill
Have you tried an anti-infalmmitory diet lifestyle? It has helped many with your type of condition. Doctors will not help you with it. You must research it online yourself. Doctors only promote medication and surgeries. If you want to get better through nutrition, and you can improve, you have to get the info yourself from others like me that have done it. I used to be in so much pain and couldn’t walk without a cane or walker. Now I’m so healthy I can hike and bike with no problems and I did it only through changing the fuel I put into my body. Please go research it and give it a try. It’s not fun at first giving up foods you love. But those foods are killing us. They are junk!
With so many people on the mountain at one time I’m surprised more people don’t die to be honest. The sherpas and guides who set up these climbs are doing a damn good job.
Camera skills are better then the newest HD footage. This actually shows overviews where you really get a sense of the size of it all.
Mad respect at any age but 67 & 72 leaves me speechless. Great film many thanks. Heading to your website now for the deets.
So happy to hear the real names of the Mountain. Everest was the name of a mere man. Chomolungma and Sagarmata are the original names. Just think. Every other tall mountain has an Eastern name. Then came a guy from England, a mere surveryer. He calculated something we always knew. And the West named it after him. What an insult to the mountain. And then you mispronounce HIMAA LAYA and say Hima lEya. In Sanskrit it means the abode of snow. Hima snow, and Alaya Temple. What a beautiful meaningful name mutilated by those who come for a visit. Congratulations on your excellent video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And the shadow of Chomolung ma I have never seen. Great shots.
You climbed to the top from the southern and northern slopes of Mount Everest, your pioneering work is amazing! You are a true mountaineering hero! Salute to you!!!
Congratulations 👏 but also a respect to the Sherpas who without no one could ever do this.
Do not say that, you do realize that Everest has been climbed without any Sherpa or porter's quite a few times on both sides
Also it was the British who first taught Sherpa and portors to climb right?
@Josie please list how many climbers have and can do it all alone. Without the sherpas,>95% cannot climb Everest. Maybe the sherpas were taught but they still lay down the safety ropes and carry supplies and more. If their economic conditions were better they probably would quit this job. Your words would probably resonate well if you were a sherpa’s widow. SMFH. Humankind and it's unique and weird take on sherpas posted naked via UA-cam comments. Glad it's not all humans. Just a few fucking numbnuts, including me but never on sherpas though. Ever. 🙏❤️
@@Bella.216 Just stop. If it weren’t for the sherpas, Mount Everest would not be what it is today.
TRUE words: If the Sherpas did not do all the carrying, mountain climbing to set ropes, and all the pampering they do at camp, Most these people could never climb the cummit. If they tried, there would be so many more bodies left on the mountain. Today, all it takes to reach the summit is: the ability to do a lot of up and down walking, propper clothing, and a pocketbook to pay for it. So tired of all these "want-to-be" people who think they are mountaineers for summitting Everest. Even the professionals no longer carry that huge desire to climb Everest. Everest is only on a mountaineers list to complete all 14 summits that are over 8,000 km. Otherwise, Everest is just a tourist attraction. K2 and Antartica is now the modern day Everest to mountaineers. Lets see all these Everst "want-to-be" climb K2.
Thank you for recording and posting these valuable educational videos. Good for you sir.
The lone image of Everest's shadow....just WOW. That really puts it into a perspective I just never considered, and it's kind of insane. I love it!
The North route looks more pleasant because there is less people. Amazing summit and congratulations you put us younger folk to shame.
Just amazing, congratulations!!! This video was really well done and really shows so much about what climbing Everest is like! Love the music as well.
One of the best posts on Mt Everest summit-ting,a lovely perspective of the way to Summit from both North and South approaches.Well done sir;That shadow of Everest on the clouds is an awesome sight,out of the world experience
Although I know it wasn’t easy you sure make it look so! Thank you so much for this incredible journey you shared with us.
This is a truly incredible feat, congratulations to you sir!!!
It is simply great! Thank you for this video account of both climbs!
wonderful video, what a surreal feat!
This doco is up there as one of the best, if not the best of any documentaries I’ve seen to date (2021) on Everest. An amazing achievement to be commended as with the stunning and spectacular photography - mighty awesome footage!
Love the fact that you explain where you are and where you’re going with still slides and written description. Great video and huge accomplishment. Congratulations.
Congratulations... & thank you for sharing your unique & lovely moments with viewers, Beautifully recorded too
Congratulations Sr. thanks for sharing this awesome adventure. At your age you are in great shape to be able to summit from both sides. Stay healthy and active, God bless you.
Well done sir.Heartiest congratulations and proud on you.
Great video of your climbs, congratulations! I imagine it is something you will always have fond memories of. I have trekked in the Everest region several times and every time it is the most beautiful and inspiring place to be.
This dog. What the heck.
Hope he gets pampered by the tourists😻
You’re a machine! Great climbs amigo!
प्रकृति जितनी अच्छी दिखती है उतनी खतरनाक भी होती है
Watching the cravasse ladder crossing made my heart leapt out of my chest and I kept saying " Crazy! Crazy people..ugh! "
Congrats on a superb accomplishment. That Second Step just looks frigging mind-boggling. We salute you.
Very hard work to climb there ❗Thanks for your video and the beautiful view ❗Good luck for you and your partners ❗
Well done, you have my admiration!
Awesome climb on both routes! Spectacular views and music. God is great. Ollie had to very proud of his Grandfather! Go Ollie Power!👍🗻😊
Nothing short of amazing! Great job! I am trying to reason why anyone would do this but my hat is off to you!
Reason: often it’s mid life crisis, to be honest.
the vedio is so clear exspecially when been zoom!.. thanks and congratulation!!
I am stopping the video at 11:08 to post this appreciation. Thank you! Your perspectives are amazing! Amazing shots from your sherpa or climbing partner and / or filmvideographer, as they have captured you so well. I am so impressed by your POV views from camp to camp and climbing. Simply stunning. They are providing me with a fantastic frame of reference. I'm not sure how Everest videos came into my feed, but I have now been compelled by the drama and awe to watch many, but have commented on none. Until now. I am not a climber. Barely a hiker. Although I did read Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air in less than 36 hours. So far, I am finding your images of the journey and path on Everest the most compelling of any I've seen. And I know I will continue to watch, not because I am enticed by drama of a life-threatening situation, but by the drama of the mountain and the witness of your amazing achievements. Congratulations! Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to see what is next ...pressing play > now
You said it all Steph. me 3!
Fantastic video thank you for sharing you are a inspiration. Congrats.
Beautiful scenery and Lukla airport.
I just noticed something. Each camp gets progressively less fancy each stop up. Lol. I can definitely see why, I just never noticed that before. You're photography skills are off the chart! Thank you for sharing the experience with us!
Well for one, once you move up to your body no longer wants food, you also have to drink a ton of water and tea to hydration your body. High altitude causes dehydration. Also the camp is only meant to be stayed in only a night because death zone.
WOW, it APPEARS as IF the GREAT PYRAMID of EGYPT is in shadow! HOW INSPIRATIONAL!!! When those who were familiar with the GP in Egypt saw THIS for the 1st. time they had to have been STUNNED. I was!!!
Great job getting that crevasse. MY knees were shaking.
Rose Geaber ... some are born with the passion to do as they do, no matter the dream ... it’s as simple as that to me!
My respect to Sherpas.
Brilliant! Thanks
17:00 Go Stanford! I am from Nepal and also a Stanford 'alum' so I was cheering for you double time. Great video!
27:40 Traditional Nepali instrumentals for the summit :)
Badass! Hopefully me soon. I'm 28 and visiting Antarctica in January 2022!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic content
Great video - more so given the environment!
Balls of steel to the sherpas, HAPs, animals & you.
How d'ya know which rope is which, geeeze.
I wouldn't want to be in a human congestion there!
Вид сверху! Горы, облака, синева неба и снег... Погода в горах меняется очень быстро... Посмотрел с удовольствием! 🤗
On the top of the world., Greeeaaaattt achievement 🧐😀😁😟😛😎
Wow, Indian music 🎶, Love from India bro! ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing views!!! And love to see the difference between the two from the same cameraman!
I feel like I could definitely climb Everest.... I would just be stuck on the top! Going down feels a million times scarier!
This appears more like a more difficult hike that it does a climb.
The fact older people can do it, and those who have never mountaineered in the lives, proves the notion that Everest is not technically challenging.
Plus, you have guides, everything is done for you & you have food & rescuers.
Compare this to 2004 Magic Line expedition to K2.
5 Spanish climbers, going up the Magic line, which had been climbed successfully only once before in 1986 (18 years prior).
These 5 men do everything by themselves, including create their own rotes, set up their own safety lines and their own advanced camps 1, 2, 3, 4. They go up & down dozen time in order to supply the camps. The climbs are mostly vertical, climbing on cliff faces of roughly 80 to 90 degrees. It is their very first time on K2 & none of the men use any supplemental oxygen.
1 of the 5 summits & the descends down the other side of the mountain, via Bottleneck.
He summitted & descended at night, all alone, without any existing safety lines, & no oxygen.
He was advancing through waist deep snow. Took him 14 hours to advance the last 511 meters from camp 4 to summit.
He spent 35 straight hours at above 8,000 m. And made it back, despite this being his first time on the mountain. Video of expedition ua-cam.com/video/BMxkv_3GcBc/v-deo.html
@@tropickman- Everest is a technically challenging climb without sherpas and/or supplemental oxygen. Just look at the amount of people who've died on Everest trying to climb it alpine style.
What Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay did was and will always remain a massive feat. Mallory and Irvine obviously reached the summit in 1924 but died coming down. The fact they got as far as they did with such primitive equipment is extraordinary.
Sherpas, porters, abundant oxygen and fixed lines have made this mountain infinitely easier to climb.
9:10 Om jai Jagdish Hare... wowwwwwww Amazing 👏
Excellent
wonderful
28:40 At first I was like, why is that guy just laying there, weird way to rest. Then I realized it was one of the hundreds of dead bodies still up there in the death zone. Makes it kinda surreal, to be honest. Imagine just having dead bodies littering the place, and people casually strolling past them, in other places on Earth.
wow, great job.
I would love to climb, unfortunately i am afraid of heights.
Altough skiing is not a problem, strange enough.
Best of luck.
huge props
Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment!!!! This is going to be a "Debbie Downer" thing, that I usually NEVER do...But I couldn't help notice the ping pong tables, large screen TV's, China plates, pool table, etc...Mallory/Hillary are perhaps rolling eyes at this... maybe not! I can't wait until they get the ability to live stream the entire climbing season from base camp/ABC, maybe all of them, for the wannabe's and the neverwillbe's, like myself, who can only dream about being a part of that ULTIMATE ADVENTURE!!!
Haha. Not a "Debbie Downer" thing at all. We did not enjoy those amenities at Base Camp. This year there was a team that offered individual studio suites with a king size bed, a large living area and coffee mocha. .
By seeing this one canget idea of how tough everest climbing is
I wish we could learn more about the Sherpas who each year fix ropes, so climbers can get up there. Like, who carried a ladder to 28000 feet? (I assume it was in pieces and re-assembled on site.)
there are many documentaries out there on youtube about all that
Splendid. Sincere appreciation.
You don’t get an idea of how big everything is until it is contrasted by the people and tents.
Nice video! One can clearly see why there so many climbers causing a bottleneck, with all the ropes and ladders, there appears to be many that shouldn’t be there! Guess it takes $$$
Great video! But my question is why choosing such a season where the snow is sooo much? That's suicidal!
a big shout out to the climbers who have made the top of Everest a trash dump. Good work.
Those heli pilots are heroes too. In those altitudes of very thin air and heavy wind risks are high.
The only thing we can agree on is that it’s a good thing sherpas are Tibetan and not Chinese or the fatality rate would be 98% on this mountain.
Great Background music. Nice good luck
Government of Tibat will be built cable car from base camp to camp 4 then hiking to summit...3 days journey.
Personally, summiting from Tibet makes more sense. A highway straight to base camp. No sherpas risk, ropes already placed.
Thanks to your video I have now witnessed Heaven on Earth!! That's what I imagine Heaven looking like. It looks like you can step off the mountain and walk on the clouds. I was floored by you pictures and video! Now I see why y'all do it. Since there are two ways you can summit the mountain do climbers go up one side and down the other? Or do they go back the way they came?
It has been done by a few climbers
More like hell on earth....
these guys are nothing like the ones that did it first the route is well trod its still an a amazing achievement but cudos to the first..
Earth is incredible. Earthlings do some wild shit. Let’s Go!
GREATE !
Which did you like the most south or north? Great video! You did a wonderful job hiking. It looks so scary coming down!
Thank you Ms. Meeks. Overall, I favor the South Approach. I love the 35-mile trek to Everest Base Camp. You travel through a lot of villages and can see how the people live. They are so good to climbers and trekkers. Here is a comparison of the South Approach and the North Approach: eightsummits.com/mt-everest/
comparing videos from the South (many more) and the North, I get the impression, the North is less "stressed", in particular, the last part -from the South this long queue that delays and delays and created so many deadly outcomes -seems that doesn't exist from the North
Everest shadow…..wow!
The line of climbers looks for all the world like a march of zombies headed to God-knows-where.
legend!
So how do camps work?
Permanent tents for passers-by to sleep in on their way up and down?
Has anyone climbed up one side and come down the other?
What is the route from Chinese Base Camp to Khatmandu?
Mt. Everest follows the "Leave No Trace" rule of mountaineering. Everything that goes up the mountain comes down at the end of the season, including tents, garbage and oxygen bottles. Some teams even bring down all solid waste.
Sherpas, the best of
Oh wow, you took Buddha to the summit with you? Fantastic!
The Buddha was there when I arrived
I am going to assume that you must be very reach person! I totally understand you were in a phenomenal shape ... but to have 5 times climbing mount Everest , approximately 40K for each time - brings you to at least 200 000 to spend for all these adventures!
Why do you use the center of the ice fall? Is it impossible to use the sides?
The route is set based on the condition of the Icefall-e.g., the positioning and stability of the seracs and crevasses. Also, there is a huge avalanche risk along the sides, especially the West Shoulder of Everest. In April of 2014, 16 people (mostly Sherpas) were killed in the Icefall when a serac on the West Shoulder collapsed, triggering an avalanche.
Nepal and Tibet, beautiful people and place. Awesome achievements. Thank you for sharing. Which face ascent/ descent is the most challenging?
The north is more of a challenge technically. It has believe it or not more rock then the south. It also has the 3 rock steps. It's weather is much worse and winds sweep the north face harder. But for me the North was the best
idk about the difficulty but i did enjoy the view from north side looked less crowded too
Möhtəşəm
Would be better if you could leave the names of the different camps and the maps on the tv screen for longer than 1 second so we have time to read everything. I know I can hit pause but still….other than that it’s a fantastic video
i climbed this mountain last year
Mallory and Irvine real pioneers ,makes me appreciate how far they reached nearly a hundred years ago .
I will climb that someday.
God speed...🙏
I bet you haven’t climbed your local hill 😉
Did you climb both sides of Everest? You are INCREDIBLE. ❤
Yes, both approaches. Thanks
Wow, and I thought driving through the ghetto at night was scary.
idk but south approach looks so much different now after the 2015 earthquake 🤔
Mister route from China easy ?
Those ladders though, no!
How would you cross the ice fall.without ladders???
Before ladders, they used logs from trees
😊
How long does a oxygen bottle last
Terra Firma for me !
Chinese base camp? North side is in Tibet
Omg music at 9:06, 22:44, 30:28and 27:48 🎶 😍😍.. What's the music name?
9:06-Festivals of Nepal-Sir Sudah Festivals of Nepal; 22:44; 22:44-Resham Firiri-Himalayan Melodies of Nepal-Sarangi-Himalayan Melodies of Nepal; 27:48-Tihar-Sir Sudha Festivals of Nepal-Festivals of Nepal; 30:28-no music
ua-cam.com/video/gjnHtrfwKwo/v-deo.html
I think it is the sampled music
Thanks
Oh, great movie!
