FYI, re: comments on "trash". What you're seeing in this video is the very recent effects of a cyclone that sent extreme winds through camp 4, literally shredding many of the tents in their place. Trash left sitting around camp 4 would quickly be blown from the mountain, the items you see here stayed in place only because they were secured. The "trash" that is here is mostly tents belonging to teams that are active on the mountain at the time the video was taken (i.e., before teams had taken their gear--including their destroyed tents--back down the mountain).
@@bari2883 did you read what they wrote? "Trash" would be blown off the mountain, what you see is stuff belonging to people that are actively on the mountain at the time this was filmed?
Nothing out of the ordinary : some bottles of O ,tents etc . I was surprised to see some people starting to ascend to the top with the sun so high and after the cyclone . Everest makes its own weather,no matter what the broadcast is .
Thank you for the clarification. Although, I believe that any real mountaineer or even follower of “the scene” should have known that. Man, the amount of climbers in the video is truly scary to me. I gave up Everest on my bucket list a very long time ago…1996, anyone?
easily the most effective 'what it's really like up there' video I have ever seen...no wide angle 'fisheye' lense distortion, just basic 'here we are' footage. I wish climbers would shoot more video like this. Thank you so much for posting!
Awesome video, I’ve been trying to understand the layout of South Col, to Balcony, to South Summit. The footage of people coming down from the balcony really helps to understand the scale of everything
Excellent video!! Loved it! It gives an awesome perspective from the south col, how far the climbers have come, and the distance (and height) still ahead of them. I've seen MANY docs and videos on Everest, but have never seen great footage like this! Thanks for sharing!
From this base camp to the top of the world. Easier said than done. Congratulations to all who have been on the summit of Everest and made it back down the mountain safely (and RIP to those who did not make it).
It looks somewhat benign. But make no mistake that that's certainly the death zone. This is probably the best video I've seen from the South Col. Thanks for sharing.
@@khzind The South Col is situated at roughly 7,900 metres. The Death Zone is the name used by mountain climbers for high altitude where there is not enough available oxygen for humans to breathe. This is usually above 8,000 metres, but changes in atmospheric pressure and the climber's personal physiology can make the South Col as dangerous as the Summit.
@@StNeurion Aha, ok. I thought death zone was a fixed spot. Now I understand it's the whole mountain above 8000 meters. Which is also the starting level of stratosphere. thanks bro.

Watching with my face like this 😲😲😲😲😲 Even though everyone knows how gigantic Everest is, its only when you see how absolutely tiny those climbers are compared to what they're climbing, do you grasp how actually gigantic we are talking! 😳😳😳 Absolutely unbelievable video. Many, many thanks to you 🙏🙏🙏
I can't even imagine how miserable that would be. The most miserable weather I've been in was in Baja, Mexico with winds blowing 30-40+ MPH with the air temp at around 70 degrees! The wind chill in the video must be minus 100. Holy carp!
Look at that queue heading up the ridge to the Hilary Step @2:22, and there are still loads of people milling around in the camp waiting their turn to set off. There is no way that number people could possibly summit and return to camp in time. Many of them would run out of oxygen and have to turn around because of the queue. The overcrowding on Everest has become really serious, and more people are going to die unless steps are taken to limit the number of climbers.
@@Crashed131963 The problem with that theory is you are even more likely to die on K2. It's not referred to as the killer mountain lightly. The percentage of deaths per ascent on K2 is 26%, whereas on Everest it is 4•7%.
@@rmsmith2396 Yes, l am sure of that figure. Of the five highest mountains in the world, K2 is the second deadliest; approximately one person dies on the mountain for every four that reach the summit. These are the figures up too 2011.

Everest ascents 4559, number of climbers 2889, number of deaths 216, percentage of deaths per ascent 4.7 percent.

@@cliffwheeler7357 That is quite different from your first statement. Should read: "percentage of deaths per SUCCESSFUL ascent (unless I am incorrect in the meaning of ascent).

As a viewer I can’t fathom the distances at all. Only the tiny dots reveal themselves as human beings. Further away a hint of movement. Hours into the distance.
Olha, um dos melhores vídeos que mostra o acampamento 4. Muito bom mesmo. Sempre quis ver como seria a paisagem do último acampamento antes de subir no topo. Parabéns.
Também achei um dia melhores vídeos ao mostrar o acampamento!

We can comprehend the size of the mountain only when we see the people looking like ants even in very very near distance. Never seen Everest summit from this perspective before. 👍
I hear it's a walk in the park compared to K2 or Annapurna. It's big and wide not very technical and the only real risk is wind and cold but other than that a fairly liesurely walk up to the summit.
Great video, shows how big the South col area is, almost like a football field, and the final 900 meters up to the summit looks incredibly steep, even more so than the Lhotse face
Looking at videos from the comfort of my chair it seem like a beautiful day with a beautiful view. But what we don't see is the frozen cold, the lack of air that screw up your brain, giving you the worst headaches, hallucinations, nausea, the struggle to even open eyes, the tiredness, vomiting and all sorts of pain you can't even imagine in the middle of nothing but rocks and snow hundreds of kms around you and you have to resist this urge to just want to lie down and close your eyes because it could be the very last thing you do
Excellent vid, best quality video. Camp 4 City prompted me to do a search to learn 5,790 people 'climbed' Everest as of January 2021. Fixed ropes and ladders make it so pretty much anyone in half-way decent shape with $40,000 or so can make it to the top. Nothing like that on K-2 or Annapurna, the most dangerous and difficult mountains that kill c. 30% of those who attempt a climb.
@@SunriseLAW Good one! This “climbing” of Everest that you speak about still involves extreme risk. You can easily die from altitude sickness, freeze to death in a sudden storm or return to base camp missing a few digits. Add that to your wealth of knowledge!
@@howtobeatadrum I could never do it and have never been able. I don't like the cold. Edited... I did manage to climb Mary's Peak here in OR where I live, mostly because a road goes to the top. :):)
Wow, this is so cool! 1:50 I heard it's possible to get nasty CO intoxication, which is hard to distinguish from altitude sickness when using msr or jetboil in a tent. But, I guess considering the wind, it was the only option.
Yes, “into thin air” covers the fact that two sherpas on that journey had gotten sick and couldn’t be of any help because they got CO poisoning from cooking in a tent that wasn’t ventilated
Correct me if I’m wrong here, but this is the south col…is that correct? PS to anyone who has been to camp 4, with all that noise from the wind, is it hard to communicate? Seems like it would be too loud to hear anyone talk 🙃
Cool video. Made me chuckle. I encourage people to watch this whilst taking note of how people are standing around. They aren't. They're taking 2-3 breaths between each couple of steps and they're on supplemental O's. If you've been above 17K you know.
I've been above 17K climbing Orizaba in Mexico. We would take 10 steps and rest all the way to the top. We heated lemonade to keep warm. The night before the summit I slept with only my nose sticking out of the sleeping bag; yet i could feel body heat escaping through that tiny hole. I can imagine how much more difficult it is above 20K.
Looks like a typical winter day in Canada to me. No big deal. I've gone skiing in worse conditions than that. We get winds and cold like that for weeks at a time and live in it year after year. If you like that, just move here. It like living on Everest 8 months of the year. Had a friend go do Everest 3 years ago, made it no problem.
No they all are coming dow but what scares me by watching is that there still numerous people on the south summit and it seems to be quite late already. Best video i have seen from Camp 4 so far.
Great video by watching this now i understand alittle bit why some lose their toes & fingers by insisting to climb mount everest or k2... but again it is love and not for everyone to understand it.
At 2:33, I can't believe there is a bird flying at this height ? Must be an eagle or hawk ? These birds are cheating. Enjoying the views without even needing to get a visa 😀
Following the path of least resistance, rite up the trail avalanche debris i wouldent even wanna go near that moutian let alone sleep in a debris field. Wonder why so many people die there its human error to even think u can make it to the summit they are asking to die mabe its the attention they get from it.

This is the best vid I have seen showing the climbers heading up to the balcony; it gives a fantastic sense of the scale of that particular path.
These videos really give a sense on what it's like to be up there versus the videos that are edited, narrated, and have background music added.

Wow. This is the best B roll I've ever seen. Makes it feel like one is really there.
I guess u haven’t watched enough vids then. There r many more even more real, and even moving step by step from camp to the top.

That's not base camp. That's camp 4. The last camp before the summit.

Now-a-days most Everest climbers die because of traffic jams created by 800 climbers yearly.

Is there ever calm days, where the wind isn't blowing constantly? I'm guessing not much at that altitude

Yes. I saw that.
How long does it take to summit from camp 4, on a good day?
average time for summit push : 6 to 9 hours. Couple hours to get backdown to camp 4. Depends on traffic too
What time of day is this?
Looks like between 10am or noon
I don’t get it.
They’re all leaving Camp 4 towards the summit in daylight?
Has to be a mock drill or something like that.
No they all are coming dow but what scares me by watching is that there still numerous people on the south summit and it seems to be quite late already. Best video i have seen from Camp 4 so far.
Nice video!
K2 is dangerous mountain.
E muita locura mais deve ser uma experiência incrível
aaaaaaaw, they have matching clothes and everything. That's adorable.
2:31 its shocking to see a bird up there, i don't know if that's really a bird cause it look really like one.
They should clan the place while comming back , carry a single tent plastic in there bag. 👍
Its impossible to walk let alone stop to pick up trash. I agree that the trash is shocking but coming down is more dangerous than summiting.
Why don't they just build a friggin' luxury hotel on the South Col? The rich climbers and guide services could pay for it.

In mountaineering, climbers dont wear much white. White looks great at elevation.
They really need a hut up there. Just some small ones.

But beautiful
It's not the worlds tallest mountain. It's the world's tallest grave yard.

Human feces, O2 bottles, trash. Terrible way to treat a beautiful mountain.
Congrats to all the climbers.
