The ABC (Annapurna Base Camp) trek is really not that strenuous I promise you. 5-6 days up and down from Pokhara if you went hard. But also wonderful over 7-9 days. Perhaps the REAL treat - given the time - is to trek around the Annapurna Circuit (taking you around the entire Annapurna massif and leading you to the NORTH side of these mountains. Manang, Pisang etc were like hidden Shangri-Las!
„Victory is living“ can be interpreted two ways: Truly living, being up there climbing, is a victory, even if you end up dying. When the video started, that‘s how I interpreted it. However, at the end of the video, I saw it differently: Turning around and not completing the climb is ok, because leaving the mountain still living can be considered a victory. How did you guys interpret it?
Live to climb another day… It was clear that part of the team was very experienced and wise. No telling how many times they saw things go awry, where people lost digits, toes, nose or their life.
It is never a victory if you end up dying. Your family and loved ones won't claim a victory if you don't return. Saying its a victory even if you die is selfish and stubborn my friend. All lives matter 🙏 ♥️. One heart, One love, One blood, One God, One race HUMANITY ❤. The biggest victory is returning to your family and friends ❤️ 💙 🙏
I am the sixth person to comment here. Hope to do remarkable things in life for myself, my family, my society, my country and my blue dot world to remember life time. Living is victory!
Porters and guides left out of the video as they climbed higher. The Porters carried up the tents, sleeping bags, house tent, chairs, tables, food, cookware, etc. The guys going light with small packs jackets acting macho. Porters had it hard for a few bucks per day.
WHAT A WONDERFUL AND EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE THIS WAS! AND WHO ACTUALLY WAS FILMING OR RECORDING THE VIDEO, DID WITHOUT OF DOUBT AND EXCELLENT WORK IS UNDENIABLE.
The end title really spoke to me and its something I tell myself when I have to turn back, I watched this documentary many years ago. "Living is Victory"
You have a different idea of living than I do. I've Climbed El Cap three times, the Troll Wall once, and redpointed French 8a. As Socrates said, The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living. We are all going to die. What did you do in your brief time?
@@brianvirgin2995 Well, climbing a mountain is a great personal achievement if that it what a person is into but there really are way more important and meaningful accomplishments to obtain in one's life. A person's life will not be 'unexamined' if they decide against climbing a high mountain.
Acabo de suscribirme por que me encantan estos documentales que me ayudan mas a apreciar este maravilloso planeta que se nos ha dado por nuestro hogar en este efímero paso por el.
It looks like the north side of Machapuchare to me (or ‘Fishtail Mountain’). You can see the ridge connecting its 2 peaks. It looks different from every angle but this is the view from the north - and would make sense as to where they were climbing. 👍🏼
This is amazing I always admire the people that live in these harsh environments with mother nature and what he has to offer it is a challenge when I give up my life for that why not certain benefits and certain things you will never know or half because all you got is what you see but it’s beautiful. Hopefully one day we can see this in real life if you’re up to the challenge
Da la sensación viendo el documental, que esta gente no sabe exactamente a donde iba.. eso de que “the mountain is not ready” no se.. llamadme loco, pero se trata de la cara sur del annapurna, que es probablemente junto con la cara rupal del nanga parbat o rutas como la magic o polish line del K2, de lo más jodido que hay de escalar en este planeta. Así que esa cara sur es muy difícil que este “ready” en algún momento, ya que hasta cuando hay ventanas de buen tiempo, lo normal, es que se lleve por delante a algún miembro de expedición. Desde luego, los que no están ready son ellos, no la montaña.
Im from Washington, the mountains are very different over there. In Washington there are trees and forest. It a living wonder land , there the mountains have very few living things and no timber . It looks like the moon
Proof Nepali people are smarter than the rest of the world. Ain’t no Nepali local trying to ascend Annapurna. They like their lives. The locals must thing the climbers are suicidal.
Good decision guys. Even though it must have been difficult at the time to decide to turn back. I wonder if you all ever get to climb Annapurna later on
Total respect in every sense. I’m safe at home watching this extreme challenge. I’m exhausted 😅 for them
Smart man. Magical thinking won't make the excessive snow go away. Climbing into avalanche danger is a gamble for "glory".
Verdade!
Just getting to base camp and getting to see a mountain like this would be the trip of a lifetime.
It is!

The biggest victory is to come out alive, they made the right decision not pushing. There is always another day to try.

Who would wear an automatic watch over something rugged that can measure heart rate /spo2 ..and altitude...
Someone sponsored by Rolex
Emuito legao parabem atodos voceis
Essas paisagens são lindas de se ver! Maravilha!
From Nepal after long time
Relógio bonito sempre marca a hora certa
Insane that this is their first 8000er
Of all of the 8000m peaks, they start with the deadliest one??... Cho Oyu is reputed to be the least difficult of 8000m peaks.
@@antoniotula262indeed, it’s a bizarre decision.
My neighbor climbed Annapurna. Turned back five times over ten years before summiting sixth expedition
Bet he didn’t climb the south face tho
2019 South Face to East Ridge@@drewpreston9828
Wow wonderful 👍 24:04
Those porters are super human.
Yeah just carrying 40kg+ like it’s nothing for days on end, as you say, super human
Rolex doesn't know mountaineering.. pay your 💰. These guys know what's up
Smart choice 👍
I thought for sure they'd find a Rolex watch on the summit from the 1950 expidition, still keeping correct date and time.
Rolex is a perfect choise
Ich dachte immer Rolex macht Uhren. Coole Doku aber
So beautiful ❤
Yes.👍.
how has no one commented on this masterpiece
Fantastic watch ⌚,✅
Dream team! So much wise and experience here 👌

It's a rich man's game - playing macho when they're really just a bunch of wienies who want to be carried to the top. Sherpas do all the work.

Great
Very good, wise and experienced team... Took right decision at right time
the matrix is real have no doubts - you are here years after this was posted.....
Wow❤
You tube Obrigado ❤eu frio não geladeiras 🥶pouco Itaoca São Paulo Brasil 👉🏼☃️👈⛄frio não
Certamente.
This was the best documentary I've seen yet of the great mountains and climbs. Very well done. I learned so much from this one video.
😮😮😮😮😮😮
Eu também.
Thanks

Anyone who ventures into climbing a mountain like this has got to get his or her head examined.

15:47 appears to be the rough location where Ian Clough was killed in 1970.

Tambem. Adoro esses documentarios.
My dudes picked Annapurna for their first 8000m climb. Balls. Also, how has this been posted for 9 years and no one has commented till yesterday?
Amazing isn't it 🤯
They might have not made it public until now, or maybe it was backdated?
Amazing
Amazing journey. Great respect for all the alpinists.
😮
They continued to make decisions based on the conditions and held emotions back to live another day.
😊😊😊

Excellent photography. Thanks Rolex.
Finally this company is good for something.
What is that huge mountain behind them at 10:42?
not sure but annapurna have various peaks
It looks like the north side of Machapuchare to me (or ‘Fishtail Mountain’). You can see the ridge connecting its 2 peaks. It looks different from every angle but this is the view from the north - and would make sense as to where they were climbing.
👍🏼
You see it again at 13:42 also…and various other flashes throughout the video
Yes, that is Machhapuchhre. I'm spending a night at its base camp today. Magnificent mountain but not allowed to climb.
❤️ from 🇧🇩
❤ from Mars. The red planet.
there's nothing more important than stay alive and come back, compare to summit
Brave men pushing themseves to the limit to try and conquer Mother nature at the same time risking their lives to do so.Utterly compeling.
❤️🙏💯
chapeau, you're the winners :)
Why the UA-cam algorithm decided to promote this, I'll never know! But I am so glad it did!
Wise decision to turn back ,think not yourself but also your family...
Dünyanın en tehlikeli dağı Annapurna.Geri dönmek en doğru karar.Tüm ekibe tebrikler
Third time watching this. I read Herzog's book 30 years ago and even he lamented the endless snow on Annapurna
Rolex where even if you reach the mountain top, there still is a fake "waitlist".
Located in Nepal 🇳🇵

if in doubt there's no doubt. may as well live to climb another day after all it's just climbing for the sake of climbing not like it has to be done.
You tube Obrigado ❤Parabéns Otimo legal oi eu surda Débora tchau 👋👋Parabéns 👍❤👏

Good
Better to climb everest even twice compare climbing this mountain once the trail and weather never been good in this mountain
Sixth person to comment here.
Isn't this the South Face that the speed climber the late Euli Steck climbed up and down in 28 hrs ?
Did he really though?
Sensible thing to do. .....all you guys did well, enjoyed it there. Now give some quality time to your family.
I just 😢

Why does this have 1.6M views but only 40 comments??
“3/4 of the way we had to climb back down to ask for directions.”
Nice algorythm
Subtitles… bummer. I watch these when I’m falling asleep.
Ich liebe Deutsch leute ist es besonder
Millions of views and no comments...cmon people
Picking annapurna as ur first mountain, that's a bit sus
Two of them, at least, had 8,000m experience.
