• LHOTSE SUMMIT VIDEO! (...
• MAKALU SUMMIT VIDEO! (...
This Kanchenjunga video is part of my Summit Video Series which also includes videos of climbing Everest, K2 and Lhotse (links above). The same video style is also coming out very soon for our successful summits on Manaslu, Ama Dablam...and more!
In 2021 I guided six of the worlds 8000m mountains, summiting four of them and turning back just meters from the summit of two - Makalu and Dhaulagiri. I tried, when ever possible and appropriate to do so, to capture the small intricacies of the mountain and the terrain we climb on route to the summit. Join me for the full journey to the summit!
I hope you enjoy watching the videos - please let me know in the comments (I try and reply to them all)

👋Hi Everyone! THANK YOU so much for supporting my channel, I really appreciate it! 🙏
☕Fancy supporting my UA-cam Videos? You can here: 'Buy Me a Coffee' (or an Earl Grey Tea!)➡ www.buymeacoffee.com/jongupta
Filming and editing the videos takes a lot of time and energy (and a LOT of tea!), so thank you very much!
This mountain looks knarley and dangerous 💀
Well done Jon your such a strong climber, looks like you dont need o2💪
What are the chances that the sikkim/Indian side of the mountain will be open for climbing in the near future>
Bro who's recording when your not recording? 🤔 But amazing job well done
Never been happier to see an upload. I’ve always wished there was a well made video on Kanchenjunga and now it’s finally here from the best mountaineering UA-camr!
Couldn't agree more.
You’re very kind. When I was researching Kanchenjunga last year I couldn’t find much good content about it anywhere. Hopefully people will enjoy watching this video 👍
@@JonGupta This video was amazing. Your videos actually show what it’s like to climb these mountains, unlike other climbing videos and documentaries. I always find myself coming back to your channel to rewatch your K2, Everest, and Lhotse videos every few months. I’m only 15, but I dream of doing what you have someday. I have summited a lot of 5,000 and 6,000 foot mountains in the northeastern United States, which isn’t much but it’s the best I can do close to home. I’ll hopefully be summiting Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous US this Summer as well. Best of wishes, and I cannot wait to see what else you will accomplish!
@@JohnRumelfanger Hey John, thanks for the comment above. Super cool you're getting out and doing these mountains already and goods luck with Mount Whitney when you give it a go! I don't think I climbed anything "big"until i was in my 20's and then I went pretty hard into the big mountains both for fun (with friends) and for work (leading trips). I've been super fortunate to have done many of the climbs i've done. Sadly one of my best trips I didn't film at all (organising and leading the currently 7 summits speed record for Steve Plain in 2018), but hey ho. Enjoy the mountains and take care!
@@JonGupta Are you going to do Annapurna?
How are you not on MILLIONS of subscribers???? I can not climb stairs without getting out of breath and have serious fear of heights but mountaineering has always (weirdly!) fascinated me. These videos are so extraordinary, so REAL!!! In awe of you! Love from UK 🇬🇧 ❤
Absolutely stunning - along with your Everest and K2 videos these are without doubt the very best high altitude climbing videos on UA-cam.
Cheers Steve, I’m glad you like them. Hopefully Makalu will be along shortly! That’s the top 5!
This guy is without drama. He makes it look so easy!!! Seems he could teach some of the other experts how it's done. AMAZING YOUNG MAN.
I say it EVERY time. These are the best 8000m climbing videos on the entire internet. That K2 video made it look "possible" and I'm sure we will get some great details about Kangchenjunga since there isn't much video content about it. I'm only 13 mins in and I already know its going to be amazing.
Hey Roninim, thanks very much! I am glad you have enjoyed watching the videos :)
I was having a really crappy day when I saw Jon had climbed another AWESOME mountain for us. And I was like YEAH. Thank u Jon. Glad you made it safely.
Haha! Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Being able to climb up the mountain is hard, but having the patience and will to make it even harder in order to record your expedition is simply incredible. Thank you for these videos!
Thanks Jacqz, much appreciated!
I love videos from this guy! His filming techniques make me feel like I am there with him, and the views are some of the best on UA-cam. Although I totally understand the preparation and acclimatization rotations that are required before he films these 8000+ meters summit pushes, he still makes it look easy. Also love the fact that he keeps his videos simple, people-drama free, and the sounds natural and crisp.
What an amazing video - none of the high-octane rubbish/over dub/mad camera work so many others do which just ruin these sorts of documentaries, a straight up honest account, brilliantly narrated as you went and super interesting, many other's could learn a thing or two from this.
Your videos are exactly what I've always been looking for when it comes to high altitude climbing. Stunning, beautiful, awesome!
Awesome, thank you! I’m glad you like them 🙏
Bro ur more deserving than any other climber just proud of ur hard work love you ❤
Shocking that this channel hasn’t blown up. Simply the best high altitude mountaineering videos on the internet. I hope you have goals of conquering more of the worlds highest peaks.
Thanks Andy! I am glad you are enjoying my videos...hopefully some more coming soon :)
started from watching your everest video and now I'm addicted ❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
You have got to be kidding me.. a new video from Jon. You just know this will be an awesome watch.. thanks Jon!
Hope you enjoy the video!
Your videos are absolutely incredible! Thanks so much for this upload.
Hey Mikael, you're very welcome, i'm glad you enjoyed them!
Great to see an actual video of climbing Kanchenjunga! Just like your other videos, very well done. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Blogging at such a height is very dangerous, never seen such a pure climbing shoot. 23:54 worth it to watch hundred times 😍
This was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Jon. You have such a calm, positive attitude throughout! Very impressive. I would have loved another hour of footage covering your descent, or a few minutes back at base camp summing it all up. Congratulations!
Thanks Salty Dog, glad you enjoyed watching the video...those final few steps onto the summit are pretty cool aren't they!? I'll see what I can do for the next video...
Yeah include some descent footage but only if you can safely that’s when accidents happen. Couldn’t believe how steep some of those slopes were.
@@garyspianocovers6684 That’s why I’d be curious to know more about how it went (assuming he had the energy and a safe place to record a few minutes here and there). Where do they stop to rest along the way and for how long? I’d also like to see the emotion from those that made it, and those that did not.
@@JonGupta Very cool. I’m binge watching all of your videos now!
@@saltydog6241 overall very impressed you felt like you were part of the climb.
What a channel! One of the best channel on UA-cam. Keep doin this amazing content. Best regards from Brasil.
Thank you very much! Very kind!
Crazy thing!!!, ive watched so many of your videos and some of them more than once. And watching the ones made many years ago its kind of a journey not only seeing how the quality of yourvideos has improved so much over the years , but even your maturity and focus at communicating with all of us and letting us experiance the climbs , and the highs and lows of mastering those monster mountains. Makes a great adventure for all of us. Thanks Jon.😊
Dziękuję za ten piękny film pokazujący górę na którą pragną wejść himalaiści przyjeżdżający w góry wysokie . 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊. Film jest odzwierciedleniem takiego podejścia ❤❤❤. Dajcie z siebie wszystko. Dotrzecie na szczyt i będziecie mogli popisać się nie lada wyczynem. ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️. 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱. Rena
Absolutely loved it and what awesome views from the climb throughout and from the summit! Truly awe inspiring! Keep up the good work and many more Happy climbing!
I had to watch this again this morning- just amazing! The conditions were almost ideal!
I watched your interview with Alan! Love your perspective on life Jon! Your experience in Belize at 18 was definitely character building and perfect timing. I live here in Salt Lake City and, a good friend of mine use to work for an agency as a guide where, he would take juveniles who, either volunteered, or had their parents put them into this program which was all about learning self-sufficiency, leadership skills, problem-solving, etc. His schedule was a week on, week off; he would oversee about 12-15 kids and have another guide to assist him.
They would usually be located in a place called Capitol Reef National Park or Goblin Valley, and he would take them all over and teach them life skills, as well as learning from them in the process. Was an amazing job for him! I can see how it would be great being a part of one of your treks as well! Thanks again!
Hey Ed, thanks very much for you comment. That sounds really cool and worth while. Interesting how these early experiences shape us going forward.
Grew up watching this mountain until I left home❤ thank you for the upload
Fallen down a rabbit hole of your vids! Addictive! Your attitude is wonderful, the genuine respect you show not only for the mountain and your surroundings but the sherpa and your team are lovely.
Well done! Xx
That looks like so much better an experience than Everest or K2, I'd hate to be in the big queues those mountains seem to get now. Excellent video.
Thank you for your videos Jon! Your attitude and fitness levels are something to strive for, cheers man, you've inspired me to shoot higher.
Thanks for the lovely comment - psyched to hear you enjoyed the video and you’re inspired 🙌
Unbelievable fitness level! It looks like a walking in the park, very impressive.
Absolutely stunning! Kanchenjunga doesn't get enough love, but it should! Thank you so much for sharing this footage with us all. Your videos are excellent.
Mr. Gupta- Great accomplishment and all respect to you and the rest of the crew. I'll bet it was quite a sight to see Mt. Everest, Makalu, and Lhotse in the distance!!!!
I love his unrelenting optimism. “Been straight up the face, 60 degrees, not enough oxygen to survive for long…but look at that view! It’s just an awesome day!”
Love these videos, you make it real for those of us who can’t get there ourselves.
Thank you so much for these videos. They are incredible to watch! I enjoy your videos so much, I am downloading them to watch during the times my Internet connection sometimes goes down.
Thanks Terence, thats ace you can download them and watch again offline, I didn't know you could do that!
didn't realize that it was you who had uploaded this when i clicked on it. very excited to watch another of your journeys especially up Kanchenjunga since it seems like there aren't too many videos at all of summit attempts of it :D thank you!
Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed the video 👍 hopefully more to come again soon. Next up is Maklau video!
Utterly amazing…possibly the most awesome video on UA-cam..to be able to share that moment with u all, the clarity of visibility, the progress almost soothingly explained, just incredible. Thank you so much
This mountain looks knarley and dangerous 💀
Well done Jon your such a strong climber, looks like you dont need o2💪
Another excellent video!! I just finished watching Everest and K2. I feel like i am climbing along with you!! Congrats on making it to the summit!😊
Awesome! Thank you!
The Five treasures of the great snows..spectacular and unforgettable views! Super good video
Thanks very much :)
That was good man, bloody amazing and the view from the top is one to behold.
Hi Jon, like everyone else i am enjoying your summit videos they seem to give at least an idea of what is involved.
It would be very interesting to see a descent video too to get a flavour of how it feels to descend once the eurphoria of the summit has passed. A lot of fatalities seem to happen on the descent from the high mountains yet it gets very little coverage at all. Thanks.
Another epic video from my favourite high altitude youtuber. It makes me smile when you casually stop on a snow bridge towering high above the depths of crevasse's to give viewers a panoramic treat. Well done Jon, thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. Saving Lhotse for next week after a trip to the Glencoe. 🤛👌
Hi Alan, thanks for the comment! I hope you have a good trip to Glencoe (what an amazing place), and enjoy my future videos to :)
Really glad to see you climb all of these mountains, I really enjoyed all of your vids thank you for taking us with you !
Hi Jon. Absolutely fantastic video documenting your climb. There’s hardly any out there for Kanchenjunga so this was both educational and thrilling to watch you climb this mountain. Hope we get to see you on more 8k peaks in the future too. Congrats on the summit.
Thanks!! Yes, agreed - there is very little on Kanchenjunga anywhere! My Makalu video will be up soon…and some others to 👌
One of the best videos out there as far as seeing the route and summit ahead from camp to camp with beautiful neighboring peaks as reference and backdrop. Plus its Kange! Congratulations to you and the strong team, safe journeys ahead👍
Hadn't heard of this mountain specifically before and this is the first video ive seen on it. the geographical features and setting of this mountain specifically is amazing. like at @14:25 the big open basin to the glacier... amazing views!
And from similar performances we can draw the conclusion: that no mountain is really that impossible, if faced with the right amount of "cups of tea" ☕⚡😄 really Congratulations for all! stunning footage 👏
You and your team make it all look so easy but I know it's not. You have to know what you are doing. Jannu looks just incredible.
Love the video Jon. So cool. Congrats on the massive accomplishment of this one.
I remember stumbling on the K2 video you did. That video is out of this world. my 8 year old daughter sits and watches full videos with me, and she knows k2 because of your video. Randomly she'll bring up how dangerous the bottle neck is. She seems super interested.
Thanks brother. God bless
Hi Evan, thanks for you amazing comment. I'm really happy to read that you and your daughter enjoyed watching some of my videos! She is not wrong...the bottle neck is a very dangerous place on K2! Thanks again.
I’ve just come across your videos and they are all amazing, Keep it up as they’re by far and away the best mountaineering videos on UA-cam
These are the best mountain climbing videos on the net .
Been waiting for an in-depth Kangchenjunga video for some time! The available video content on Kangchenjunga is scanty or, what is available is relatively short.
Even though it was a short run, many people don't realize that K was thought to be the tallest mountain in the world for a few years before the eventual "discovery" and surveillance of Everest by Europeans. Andrew Waugh "officially" announced K's height in 1847(Wasn't announced till 1849), which dethroned Nanda Devi at the time.
There were already suspicions about another peak called "b" measured by John Armstrong. Waugh went to Darjeeling and measured a distant peak called "gamma," and concluded they were one and the same. This, of course, began the "discovery" of Everest and eventually dethroned Kangchenjunga as well!
Thanks Jon!
Hi Ed,
Thanks for the brilliant and informative comment, super interesting.
To many Kanchenjunga seems to hold a very special place. Especially the Indian climbers that I met.
Hi Jon. One more great vidéo! One more great mountain! One more great spirit! You have a real signature to tell us about your passion, your mountains, always with this simplicity that characterizes you. A snowy slope at 45°-50°, or even more, under seracs are as many difficulties that you show us as objective points that you pass without emphasis, with patience and humility. I really enjoyed seeing your team, the Sherpas and talk about them. I love your ambition and how you shared it with us. I already told you about your other videos. This one is undoubtedly the most "joyful" with this good spirit that accompanies you and the congratulations shared at the top. Thanks for all of this. If I watch one of your beautiful climbs again, I'll make a good tea, earl gray, of course. Don't change anything and take care of yourself! Thanks. Daniel
Thanks Daniel…there will be more coming soon (Makalu is next!)…Earl Grey would be a excellent choice 👌
@@JonGupta Dear Jon, the teapot is ready for the next ride on your back on the great Makalu. Avec une certaine impatience!
You are extremely talented my friend! Not only do you make these climbs seem like a walk in the park, but your videos are so incredibly beautiful and well done! RESPECT!
Thanks very much!
You are such a inspiration,,
Despite all the obstacles faced, for you "everything is cool and it's all good"!
Love your videos. More power to you.
Cheers Ankur!
Ur a legend jon - I'm 17 and the tallest mountain ive climbed is ben nevis but ur videos have inspired me to one day stand on top of these big ones aswell - keep the awesome content coming!
Nice one Ben, thanks for your comment. Good work on Ben Nevis - always a great day out and best of luck with all your future mountains too.
You are the best Jon. Both in climbing and recording it. I am not sure if I blinked for full 45 mins. Respect!!!
Thanks Jatin, you’re very kind. Keep blinking…it’s essential!
Cool. Thinking about all the climbers that used to climb without fixed ropes. Must have been amazing. The ropes definitely take the adventure out of it. Gotta love the guy stepping all over the rope at 40:45.
@dougdavis8986 The early summiteers on mountains like Kanchenjunga did have fixed ropes as the teams laid 'siege' to the peaks. Jon is virtually climbing 'Alpine style' in comparison. The amount of climbers who continue to die on 8000m peaks show that it is still the ultimate adventure. There are climbers who climb without supplemental oxygen but that massively increases the risk of not making it back down. I'm pleased that Jon climbs with the obvious ethos of getting to the top is optional but getting back down is mandatory. He makes his climbs look relatively easy due to his constant optimism, but they're anything but. Even with fixed roles one mistake when clipping in and including is often fatal. Plus avalanche, rock fall, HACE & HAPE etc. Enough adventure there for anyone!!!.
*'unclipping' not 'including'. Auto-correct causing its usual mayhem!
@timedwards5734 in the old days they didn't show up with the ropes already fixed by Sherpas. They fixed them themselves as they climbed. Huge difference. You can always tell an armchair mountaineer. They love the 'making it down is mandatory' quote!
Watching regularly K2's video was a masterpiece. Thank you Jon.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations! I love Kanchenjunga. For me it's the most impressive mountain in the world, certainly of the 8000-ers. Kind of surprised the route is so non-technical, though I'm sure it wasn't easy by any means. Originally the summit was considered inviolable, sacred, and the tradition was to leave it untouched, topping out just below.
It still is he isn't on the true summit
@Stratiis The summit of the main peak is in Nepal and climbers are allowed to stand on the highest point and pay a royalty for doing so. So Jon was on the main summit. Some climbers, mainly Indian climbers, do stop short of the main peak. But if you're attempting to climb all 14 8000m peaks you have to stand on the highest point for the summit to be verified
I have been watching your videos on rotation. They are epic honestly. As someone from a tropical country i.e. Thailand, videos of your amazing ascents feel eccentric and alluring to me. I don't call myself a climber but a trekker but your mountaineering totally inspires me to go out to the mountains more. Though I go there to trek but I think the healing power of nature and mountains is just as powerful. xx
Beautiful scenery. On the top of Himalayas it looks different world all together. It looks heaven
Wow !! Maaan you rock. Brilliantly filmed and explained. I am into mountaineering and it's pretty hard, but you make it look easy ! But I know it's not easy. Hats off ......
Epic! Grateful of the content you make for us to experience and witness climbing such peaks. 🎉
This is simply awesome! Congrats on your summit and this amazing video!
Thanks Dan!
Wonderful - my third mountain today and Im feeling great!
Thanks Ross! Enjoy :)
Fantastic video. Really gives a good perspective of what its like from a great climber.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful and awesome video.This mountain is so massive and endless. Impressive!!
Thank you very much!
I have been watching several videos about climbing for the last few years. Your videos are the best by far. You have such a positive atittude that make the climb looks like a easy task. Well done, mate.
The video is spectacular. Best high mountain shots. Second to none. Very very nice. Wow!
Thanks Kevin 🙏
You deserve an award for taking the effort to film videos while trekking at the highest altitudes on Earth and uploading it on UA-cam. Hats off man! 🎩♥️
One of the best summit video ever seen
Thanks very much Giovanni 👍
Awesome climb Jon, congrats. You make it look so easy, but I'm sure its not. Just love the video as it feels like I'm going along with you.
Absolutely Incredible! Thank you for sharing the journey💯🏔️
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've a newfound love for mountains
Thank you, awesome video. We're trekking to base camp later this year so amazing to see what the mountain looks like, congratulations on your summit and thanks again.
Thanks very much! Have an amazing time trekking to Basecamp 👍
Fantastic. The scenery on the glacier from 30:05 makes you realize how little we are 🤩
So lucky I just saw your K2 video and now there is a fresh one! Great work
Awesome! Thank you!
Absolutely incredible! 😍😍😍Congrats Jon and thanks for taking us up there with you! But what a stunning weather and views on all 3 highest peaks in the World. These videos are treasure. Now we need Makalu video 😁
Hey Aleksander! Makalu is coming soon.... :)
@@JonGupta can't wait! :)
So excited for this video
Thanks!
Brother, you are doing an incredible job. I've followed all your video and you have a phenomenal energy to vlog in the meantime. Respect!
Hi Stefan, thank you so much - i'll hopefully have some more coming soon! 🙂
Out of the many mountaineering videos yours stands out. Your direct as it is happening commentary is so cool. Very impressed. I climbed Mt. Adam’s once here in the USA so I have a flavor but man this is on a whole other level. Nice to see other peaks other than the usual suspects. Thanks.
Your videos are fantastic representations of the mountains! Nothing else like it on UA-cam
Your channel content is fantastic! I've been very interested in mountaineering, but it is just talk on paper. Due to my fear of heights, I may never be able to participate in this kind of adventure. Thank you for allowing me to experience this exciting sport from your perspective. Cheers from China.
Thank you so much for making these. It's a view I've not yet seen of what it must be like to scale these peaks. Well done.
another excellent video, thanks so much. For once a youtube video without ads every 5 minutes. Your videos are the best ive seen in this genre. I look forward to many more
Thanks Bobby, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Grats. Best Kanchenjunga summit video. Thank you.
Thanks very much 🙏
Superb video man, i see you've climbed the top 5 peaks, good show my man.
You looked truly knackered on this one!
I have been Kanchenjunga long long time a go when I was yang.Thank you very much up lord guys!!
best climbing videos I’ve ever seen. Truly great work
Glad you enjoyed it!
This guy makes the best videos. I feel like I have been there with him.
Absolutely amazing! My favorite mountaineering channel! Now back to binge-watching!
Big thanks to you Jon, I summited 3 mountains in a night, good to see good safe climbing, I can sleep well tonight, some of the other YT channels give me nightmares, watching people slip off the edge, so sad... I guess luck helps but I cant help but think the teams you climb with are skilled and professional 👌🙂↕️
Great Video Jon. Always enjoy your videos. The only true real video of mountain climbing on youtube. Steep rock climbing in the middle of the night is dangerous Jon. You are something else.
What a great surprise! I watched your Everest and K2 videos and was not expecting this one...awesome video as always! Pretty cool to see that this climb was back in May 2022 but you only uploaded the video now...busy man? haha I only ask because I know most people would be in hurry to get these videos out asap. Just goes to show that you're not just a fame/glory hunter and I respect that a lot. Thanks again for posting and wishing you the best for the future.
Thanks for the nice comment, much appreciated!
We'll, in all honesty the editing is done by my friend Ben. He fits it in around his full time job and family so it takes time to get ready! I'm really grateful for his skills in putting it together so I never push him to finish it faster :)
Makalu should be coming soonish (filmed same trip as Kanch)...and some others too!
@@JonGupta Got it and thanks for the reply. Almost looks like you're doing all the highest peaks in reverse order! Wishing you the best for the coming climbing season too.
It's always a "Beautiful day" with Jon Gupta 😄 Love it man. Keep climbing..
Always!
Loved your video. Wow! Amazing. Thank you for sharing this experience.
Fookin amazing bro, just watch K2 Everest and Makalu summit but Kanchenjunga is my "favorite😁".
I never see videos about eight thousanders like this before.
Well done sir well done👏👏
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed watching them all 👍
Absolutely stunning video. Congratulation, Jon.
This is how high mountaineering should be - experienced & fit folks doing it on their own two legs & not rich unfit & inexperienced people being dragged up & down by sherpa teams.
Oh my goodness ! What a film ! Kudos to the whole team for the success. I wish to climb Mount KANCHENJUNGA one day 😍
Always the best trip by Jon Gupta.
Thanks 🙏
