Yes. The sherpa or sherpas that went ahead of him to "build the trail" and set up the camps are the real one climbing it so rich people people can say that climber Everest. This guy didn't climb a lone. Such nonsense.
Even with sherpa help, it's still one of the hardest climbs ever. 3 people died when he climbed. Don't just dismiss his achievement like that. Sherpas are genetically advantaged in high altitudes.
@@joeyazbeck849 Yeah Joe, there's a balance to this people are missing - both are respectable. Sherpas grow up in the mountains and have evolved to deal with it better than the rest of us. Somebody from sea level adjusting to the altitude and climbing such a mountain is huge.
I would totally do that, the victory over oneself would remain pristine and not be tainted with wanting other people to praise you for it, that knowledge that you did it only for yourself would change you in a profound way.
they are risking yes, but they are well aware of the risks and also they are genetically prepared for hards low altitude effects better than others, so they have physical/genetical advantage. but if ice breaks or avalanche comes nothing helps you...
Best mountain climber to ever live, Reinhold Messner period. You want to read about someone that climbed all of the 14 highest peaks over 8000 meters in the world first? Check this man out. First to climb Everest without oxygen in 1978 and first and ONLY person to solo the North Face without oxygen in 1980. No Sherpa support, no climbing support, nobody support, just him and his girlfriend waiting for him once he left base camp. Oh and he summited in just 3 days then made it back to camp in 2 days. It’s absolutely incredible what he did and no one will repeat it. Happy Climbing
Yeah. I see the ladder and what’s below and click my heels 3 times, close my eyes and I’m back in Florida. 40 ladders like that? Tired, cold, barely breathing? No thanks. Love my heat and humidity. Would rather be naked in the eye of a Cat 5 hurricane than climbing Everest in this life. Much props to those who do, though.
@@mauallen4234 lol. The hurricane thing speaks to me. On the coast of Alabama most of my life it's kinda like, 'eh. It might ruin my house, car, turn trees into God sized floral arrangements...or kill me. So what am I gonna do? Leave? Maybe. I'll wait to see if it gets above cat 3.' Every time.
All these Everest climbers have some INSANE STORIES…and no one realizes they had a dude following them during this insane story who was carrying his own stuff and the climbers stuff on his back weighing as much as him…going through the exact same scary obstacles these dudes explains…SHERPAS ARE SO UNDER RATED
@@PiedPooper-gh6cn that’s not true, Leonardo dicaprio said in his role in Durango Jackson’s brother’s son’s girlfriend’s father’s mechanics testicles were on display in Paris France’s Louvre casino building in the BACK of the superbowl exit people often mistake it for the front so yeah..basically medium rare is the best way to eat a carpet EDIT- WOAHH WRONG POST I THOUGHT I WAS TYPING THIS COMMENT IN MY “Fart Sniffing Professional P*rnStar S*X Demon’s Postal Service Workers undercover Break and Enter Specialists Private Chatroom”
@CorneliusEdwardoWinstonThe2nd: They're really not underrated. They can do more because they freaking live there. It's a lot easier for them because they live in that altitude. I don't know why people don't get this. They're not better than us. If we lived up near Everest year round we could do what they do.
@ exactly…you just proved my point 😂 Did you ever see a cool story video on sherpas? You know how many died doing the same thing. Oh and they carry 2x their body weight compared to the other people. Yeah that’s usually what UNDER RATED MEANS.
Jon Krakauer’s ‘Into Thin Air’ that was mentioned is an amazing read. Something to note is that Krakauer pays amazing respect to the Sherpas on the expedition and constantly acknowledges their hard work, skill, loyalty, and immense care for the other climbers
Also regarded amongst the mountaineering community to have some very questionable info. Read accounts from all the survivors and you will see. Dont forget he was just a journalist looking for a story after all. He wasnt a climber or mountaineer
I like the book but dislike his account for Russian that went out of his way to save other people while he slept in a tent that night. The Russian saved like 3 people in high gale force winds on that mountain, put himself at risk but Jon complains he didn’t save everyone.
“Give people fuel to accomplish things in their life” that’s exactly what the sherpas did for him, so he could reach the summit of Everest. RESPECT THE SHERPAS
He still climbed mount everest lol sherpas were born in that environent giving them an advantage. You are statistically probably overweight and most likely an underachiever based upon your views towards this topic.
@@MyName-cw4yrExactly. These other commenters act like this guy hasn’t accomplished anything because sherpas helped. As if it’s not hard even with Sherpas or that he hasn’t went up every other peak. You’re also required to hire a Sherpa to even get on the mountain so plenty of people who’d probably rather do it themselves for a challenge cant. It’s crazy so many people are minimizing the accomplishment because a Sherpa was with him.
@Seth Watson it is, however, a major source of income for them and their families, and without the rich guys needing a thrill, these Sherpa may not have any source of income
Sherpa are "THE GUIDES". This dude never went through the tough part of climbing Everest I assume. Coz Everytime his Ass is under the Shitshow Sherpa is the Guide who would save his Ass
My Uncle got to the summit of Mount Everest in 1974. He passed away in 2019. He always said "you don't climb Mount Everest, you hike". There is no climbing involved, it is a grueling hike.
You are not allowed to climb without a sherpa nowadays because they say it's their holy mountain or some shit, people been attacked trying to climb without them man.
Typical, I done this, I done this, I done this type of dude. Meanwhile, the Sherpa crew sets the ladders, ropes the entire mountain to the summit, brings all the food, oxygen, supplies up the mountain, sets up the camps, and summit the mountain before anyone else on the season. Then people like Colin clip on to the line and follow it. Not saying it is an easy thing to do, even with the Sherpa crew doing all the hard work, even clipping on, summitting and coming out of alive is extremely difficult. But one must be humble and recognize that the Sherpas actually do all the actual hard work.
@@Dutchmaster707his comment was not related to money.. his point is westerners talk about their experience of climbing Everest whilst hardly mentioning the Sherpas that do ALL of the heavy lifting.. they're trying to take the glory when it's barely theirs.

I've been obsessed with K2 ever since I was a kid. Apparently the mountain hates women though. And I'm a klutz. I'd probably die up there in a really embarrassing way.

He fibbs when he agrees "If you fall you die". You are roped up securely when crossing a crevasse on a ladder. The highest risk is taken by the first Sherpa to cross a ladder that has just been set.
Still you wouldn’t want to fall down and have All your weight pulling the ladder down. Not that it will make it fall completely but it could destabilize it and then getting back up would be a pain in the ass, if not lethal.
@@_P785_ They are roped to other ladders and men set horizontally in the banks and tested for great loads. Even a crossing ladder fall is not fatal. The biggest risk is hurting yourself against a protruding piece of hard ice during the fall. “You fall you die” is pure drama bullshit. Only Sherpa’s are generally put in situations with that kind of risk.
This NZ guy on artificial legs(lost to frostbite in accident in NZ mountains) summited everest first double amputee to do so, and he got terrible criticism when coming home because he and his team didn't save a guy in the death zone on the way up. People just couldn't understand why they just couldn't lift him up and save him.
Colin O'Brady - I had to teach myself how to walk again and went from being a novice climber to climbing Everest. JRE Commenters - I don't like how he talks fast.
@Brutus he would prolly climb, if you sponsored him and gave him to the Sherpa led expedition. With a proper pay, Sherpas will feed you, carry you, tuck you in your bed inside the tent, and give you a hand to climb the summit.
@Brutus they sometimes carry 20kg+ on their backs with YOUR gear, climb the mountain twice too because they go before you wake up to carry it to next camp and set it up then go down again to climb WITH you…
Really bothers me that dude was like “we had no money to do any of this” then never explains how they managed to pay for him to climb 7 fucking mountains. That’s flights and gear and food and guides and even one expedition is expensive as fuck. But 7?? And last minute helicopter rides and shit. Whatever dude. Something tells me his version of poor and my version of poor are two very different things.
@@JeffreyLam116 no amount of “I can” will take you from poor to being airlifted and guided up many of the worlds highest peaks instantly. You can’t just will cash for trips into existence. You need to make the money doing something first. So I don’t buy the we were poor thing, you can’t be poor and do even one of these expeditions.
K2 is the king of mountains - the Himalayas. You climb Everest to tell stories about it at parties. You climb K2 to be one of the best mountaineers in the world.
That's the most absurd, envy driven, keyboard warrior statement I've ever heard. Climb ONE mountain, and then you'll have at least a foothold to BEGIN to criticize this man. He's done it, so he can tell the fucking story however he wants
He didn't mention the hard work of his sherpa team more than 'oh i climbed with a sherpa' ..oh! the sherpa who set your ladders over the khumbu ice fall ? That fixed the ropes for you all the way up the mountain ? Carried your oxygen bottles ? carried your tent ? Ohh those sherpas. This dude is weird as fk. I've climbed three 6000m mountains, and would never claim the 'glory' like this fool is, he wouldn't have gotten past the base camp by himself. He paid to be led up the mountain by a sherpa, end of story. He should stick to his Antartica trek since it was actually himself doing the hard labor.
@@skobird2732 maybe he didnt mentioned that because it didnt happen and he really was just climbing with sherpa? all i can see that you added your part to it do express your jealousy and hate. hey that's how it is and looks, denying it doesnt change that, only shows that you cant see it about yourself. we all have flaws we dont see or understands.. i think you should climb even more mountains like colin tho
When things got really tough and I thought I couldn’t go on, I watched my Sherpa as he set up my tent, made my food, changed my oxygen canisters, fixed the ropes & ladders, carried my supplies and made sure that I was safe throughout the entire climb. It was then that I knew that I could make it because I’m tough and more so, full of gratitude. That’s why my Sherpa was paid a fraction of what I spent on the expedition. Did I mention that I’m awesome? Gratitude.
Strikes me as the kind of guy who wants everyone to know how awesome he is. I'm an Everest enthusiast so I'm familiar with everything he's talking about, but a majority of the climbers that are known to me don't talk about "a storm could or could not occur that day" and then foolishly decide to summit anyways because, "I'm a badass bruuuu, that 40% bruuu, I'm gonna' make it cause I believe it". Yeah, those people usually don't come back down from the mountain. Congratulations on your summit.
@brad hoke You should definitely have to hold a certain standard and have the papers to prove it in order to be allowed to climb but its thats down to the Nepal government to set that standard. The country is poor and the average young fit Sherpa doesnt have much of a chance at making a living so they risk their lives by carrying the gear, guiding the tour, going first to set the ropes, sometimes giving up their own Oxygen or carrying the weak in the tour.
I was watching him on K2 over the winter season and what all went down and all who were lost, it was so sad.. So I'ma keep watching him on Everest this climbing season... Hope you guys climb high and get down again safely.. Well wishes from Ohio..
Get the sherpas on here joe. They dont get enough credit for what they do on Everest. It's the westeners that are made into hero's but in my eyes the sherpas r the real hero's.
I agree with you . But Sadly most sherpas don't speak english and they rarely ever leave their home countries so it would be a mission getting them on the podcast .
@@hottleggs1 literally … people don’t understand how much more difficult it is for them. Before you go to next camp they wake up earlier than you, grab your shit, set it up at the higher camp, climb back down to get you and then go with you again… and this guy is screaming yayyy I done it with “just a sherpa”…
You realize the Nepal government requires them to hire sherpas? That provides Sherpas with jobs and a decent living. Lots of these guys would likely love to do it without them just as a personal challenge and don’t have that choice. So, Sherpas are not slaves nor are they forced to go, having a Sherpa doesn’t minimize the accomplishment because it’s still extremely difficult AND having the Sherpa is a mutually beneficial agreement.
I didn't even watch this- just saw the tagline; but I would encourage everyone to watch Rogan's stand up 'Belly of the Beast' from '01 where he completely derides mountain climbers as 'small-dicked white guys from Arizona'. It's freakin' hilarious!
When I was young and breaking records winning mvp, Championships, best and fairest I never said I can’t. Didn’t ever enter my mind to stop .Even when I was in agony .
Summiting Everest and risking other people's lives isn't always inspiring. Failing and surviving is more inspiring. Failure is underrated. Fail, and focus on better things. Live. However, it's thrilling to imagine the dedicated people who died and stayed on the mountain, forever. Like a testament of what death is.
Sounds exactly like the movie [Everest] storyline! Would absolutely love the SHERPA to be interviewed! JUST THINK, THE SHERPAS BUILT THE 50 LADDERS HE CROSSED TO SAVE HIS LIFE, AND HIS GOAL! Congrats on making the climb, but the SHERPA that guided is the true story!
Is it wrong to love yourself? Fucks sake you people are fucked in the head he's not even cocky besides they're literally talking about his accomplishments what do you want him to say?
Shit like this is what life is really about. Think of the stories this guy will have for his grandchildren when he's 60 years old. I wish I could do shit like this instead of just working life away to pay bills and barely get by lol
I find it hard to stay motivated when you have 2 small amazing children, married to an amazing wife and have a 6 figure salary with a nice house, good cars and live in an amazing country (NZ)...saying all that I want more career success but find it hard to be motivated....it feels like being comfortable is such a de-motivating factor that know ones talks about...
Hmmm. Claims in this discussion to have climbed Everest on his own with a Sherpa guy he met the year before. The Himalayan Database shows he was with the Adventure Consultants expedition team on Everest that year. Each climber in that commercial expedition team would have their own dedicated Sherpa. That team had 9 clients (including Colin) and Team Leader was Mike Roberts from New Zealand. It's a team sport on Everest. The days of 'on my own' are long long gone.
Fun fact. Extended periods of time above 20k feet make your eyeballs expand dus to lack of pressure essentially being the opposite of glaucoma. The solution is a radial keratonomy which is done on site to prevent permanent blindness. It must be done before scar tissue is made under the retinae. It involves slicing your eyeball with 8 cuts going from the center of your lens outwards. Oh and don't scratch your eyes amd there's that mountain you haven't finished climbing yet..... good times
Get the Sherpa that held his hand, tied the ropes, secured the ladders, and carried his stuff on the podcast.

People just couldn't understand why they just couldn't lift him up and save him.
Joe's exhale at the end is everything hahah
Colin O'Brady - I had to teach myself how to walk again and went from being a novice climber to climbing Everest.
JRE Commenters - I don't like how he talks fast.
Well, it was too annoying to listen to before I learned anything about him. I could climb Everest too if I had that Adderall.
@Brutus he would prolly climb, if you sponsored him and gave him to the Sherpa led expedition. With a proper pay, Sherpas will feed you, carry you, tuck you in your bed inside the tent, and give you a hand to climb the summit.
Calm down people and admire this guys achievement, stop hating each other?
@Brutus they sometimes carry 20kg+ on their backs with YOUR gear, climb the mountain twice too because they go before you wake up to carry it to next camp and set it up then go down again to climb WITH you…
Seriously talk about crowd mentality…..
Really bothers me that dude was like “we had no money to do any of this” then never explains how they managed to pay for him to climb 7 fucking mountains. That’s flights and gear and food and guides and even one expedition is expensive as fuck. But 7??
And last minute helicopter rides and shit. Whatever dude.
Something tells me his version of poor and my version of poor are two very different things.
He was a commodity trader but i think he got most of the financial support from his mom Eileen Brady
I think the point is trying to go beyond a mental state of "I cant" to "what's the first step".
Oh, like Rich poor, not poor poor.
@@JeffreyLam116 no amount of “I can” will take you from poor to being airlifted and guided up many of the worlds highest peaks instantly. You can’t just will cash for trips into existence. You need to make the money doing something first. So I don’t buy the we were poor thing, you can’t be poor and do even one of these expeditions.
Fund raising?
His wife just wanted a break I bet this was all her idea lmao
And if he dies she gets the trust fund that he doesn't mention. But anyway, he's just poor for a rich guy. :)
Don’t blame her, he’s irritating as hell! 😮
K2 is the king of mountains - the Himalayas. You climb Everest to tell stories about it at parties.
You climb K2 to be one of the best mountaineers in the world.
That's tough
On K2 theres no help your on your own.
If K2 was easy, it would be called Everest......!!
I was so high on K2. I ended up shooting some Palestinian kids and putting my schnitzel in a fat chick.
Agreed!
"Talk low...talk slow...and don't say too much." John Wayne
"talk however tf you want" - normal fucking people
I climbed Mount Everest! I’m on top of the world! I did it all by myself!
😂😂😂
Obviously this guy has done all these incredible things but why do I get this vibe that he adds a lot more to the story than what really happened?
Dude is weird
That's the most absurd, envy driven, keyboard warrior statement I've ever heard. Climb ONE mountain, and then you'll have at least a foothold to BEGIN to criticize this man. He's done it, so he can tell the fucking story however he wants
He didn't mention the hard work of his sherpa team more than 'oh i climbed with a sherpa' ..oh! the sherpa who set your ladders over the khumbu ice fall ? That fixed the ropes for you all the way up the mountain ? Carried your oxygen bottles ? carried your tent ? Ohh those sherpas. This dude is weird as fk. I've climbed three 6000m mountains, and would never claim the 'glory' like this fool is, he wouldn't have gotten past the base camp by himself. He paid to be led up the mountain by a sherpa, end of story. He should stick to his Antartica trek since it was actually himself doing the hard labor.
Cos you're a lil hating bitch
@@skobird2732 maybe he didnt mentioned that because it didnt happen and he really was just climbing with sherpa? all i can see that you added your part to it do express your jealousy and hate. hey that's how it is and looks, denying it doesnt change that, only shows that you cant see it about yourself. we all have flaws we dont see or understands.. i think you should climb even more mountains like colin tho
When things got really tough and I thought I couldn’t go on, I watched my Sherpa as he set up my tent, made my food, changed my oxygen canisters, fixed the ropes & ladders, carried my supplies and made sure that I was safe throughout the entire climb. It was then that I knew that I could make it because I’m tough and more so, full of gratitude. That’s why my Sherpa was paid a fraction of what I spent on the expedition. Did I mention that I’m awesome? Gratitude.
I CAN finish this 8ball of coke, I CAN
Yes you can. Lines lines lines lines
Karl that’s the positive attitude we need more of you go boy!
Cocaine Karrll!

Sober people quit at 40%... LETS GO ALL THE WAY KARRLLLLL!!!!
Strikes me as the kind of guy who wants everyone to know how awesome he is.
I'm an Everest enthusiast so I'm familiar with everything he's talking about, but a majority of the climbers that are known to me don't talk about "a storm could or could not occur that day" and then foolishly decide to summit anyways because, "I'm a badass bruuuu, that 40% bruuu, I'm gonna' make it cause I believe it".
Yeah, those people usually don't come back down from the mountain.
Congratulations on your summit.
To me he's just one of those dumbasses you grew up who did crazy shit just see if they could.
Says the guy who posts on UA-cam telling us all he’s an Everest Enthusiast.
you have absolutely no purpose in your hate for this man. Your coment is useless, and not enlightening .
Damn look how they hate on you when you unclip from the rope people. Also my right hand is black as well bro it’s not too bad
Lool 'Everest enthusiast'
Everest has been hit by the hipster effect when 100 people is at the top at the same time
It was shut down for 2 or 3 years
@brad hoke You should definitely have to hold a certain standard and have the papers to prove it in order to be allowed to climb but its thats down to the Nepal government to set that standard. The country is poor and the average young fit Sherpa doesnt have much of a chance at making a living so they risk their lives by carrying the gear, guiding the tour, going first to set the ropes, sometimes giving up their own Oxygen or carrying the weak in the tour.
It’s been that way for about 20 years
I would have jumped off Mt Everest if I went with this dude and he were to talk this much after maybe day 9-10 or so
I would've pushed him
Brilliant. I love this comment
lolll
Why not push?
I was watching him on K2 over the winter season and what all went down and all who were lost, it was so sad.. So I'ma keep watching him on Everest this climbing season... Hope you guys climb high and get down again safely.. Well wishes from Ohio..
Everest feels like more of a financial challenge rather than a physical one.
extremely underrated comment
10:31 Joe rogans face when he heard the hand was black 😂😂 I’m laughing so hard
he knew he was cappin his hand would be gone finger some
Get the sherpas on here joe. They dont get enough credit for what they do on Everest. It's the westeners that are made into hero's but in my eyes the sherpas r the real hero's.
I agree with you . But Sadly most sherpas don't speak english and they rarely ever leave their home countries so it would be a mission getting them on the podcast .
They don't speak English. Apparently you have not invested much time in studying the lives of your heros.
@@robinrobyn1714 Hey buddy, magic word. TRANSLATOR. They’re all around, and there have been guests with translators before.
They probably don’t speak much English
@@robinrobyn1714 how much english do you want me to speak ?? I am a sherpa and a gorkha i can throw hands too if you want
Imagine being stuck on the phone with this dude
He’s a bad ass athlete but he should start using punctuation while he’s speaking. That was the longest run on sentence I’ve ever heard.
“longest run on sentence ive ever heard” lmao
He is also not very honest. National geographic called him out
The Sherpa that hiked his shit up is a real athlete
@@hottleggs1 literally … people don’t understand how much more difficult it is for them. Before you go to next camp they wake up earlier than you, grab your shit, set it up at the higher camp, climb back down to get you and then go with you again… and this guy is screaming yayyy I done it with “just a sherpa”…
the man still summited everest guys... whether you like it or not lol
Hearing him talk about how hard it is to try to save someone makes you really appreciate what Anatoli Boukreev did
Neal is the real hero. Imagine paying 65k to climb and your guide goes back to camp 4 without you…
this guy just stroked his own ego like a god damn machine in this one
Tony Ferguson is the type of dude to climb Everest mountain for morning cardio
Klark Kent khabib is the type of dude to climb Mt. Everest as a warmup for his morning cardio
@@drewveatch2674 no khabib just smash mt everest.
He would only climb at night, with his sunglasses on.
Tony Ferguson the type of dude to climb mount everest just to shin kick it in the teeth
@@drewveatch2674 dis is number 1 bullshit
Imagine having the best weed on the planet and no lighter
Honestly I’m so sick of people climbing Everest. I’d give someone props who can do it themselves without a Sherpa.
I wonder if O'Brady's wife has ever gotten a word in edgewise throughout their entire marriage. Take a breath, dude!
Why do you think she encourages him to take all these months long trips? Lol
Where do ppl get off telling other ppl what to do/ how to be according to your standards????? What a fuckwit :/
1:46 the fart 💨😩
my heart goes out to all the sherpas who have died guiding people like this to places they shouldn't be going
@macdance1318. "People like this " provide a livelihood for the sherpas and their families. Don't be so cynical.
You realize the Nepal government requires them to hire sherpas? That provides Sherpas with jobs and a decent living. Lots of these guys would likely love to do it without them just as a personal challenge and don’t have that choice.
So, Sherpas are not slaves nor are they forced to go, having a Sherpa doesn’t minimize the accomplishment because it’s still extremely difficult AND having the Sherpa is a mutually beneficial agreement.
Fast talking used car salesman personality.
Leggo My Ego you’re a shit head personality
Lmao i read this and noticed how fast hes talking 😅👍🏼
@@collin2502 you're entitled to your opinion.
Adderall or coffeee
Sounds like my bank teller😂
That exhale that Joe did at the end of the video perfectly summarized this whole video of how I was on the edge of my seat.
it's like listening to an auction
Eminem should introduce this guy to Dre.
Yo foreal, waiting on him like the 1st n 15th
I bet he was the kid who never used punctuation in high school.
Did you take a picture of it?😂😂
Imagine if you were trying to summit mt Everest and this dude passes you unclipped from the safety rope... I bet a lot of people were hating lol
I didn't even watch this- just saw the tagline; but I would encourage everyone to watch Rogan's stand up 'Belly of the Beast' from '01 where he completely derides mountain climbers as 'small-dicked white guys from Arizona'. It's freakin' hilarious!
Jonny Lukens .... share link plz
I want someone to do a world record by summiting all these mountains setting their own ladders and taking their own shit up there
When I was young and breaking records winning mvp, Championships, best and fairest I never said I can’t. Didn’t ever enter my mind to stop .Even when I was in agony .
Nimsdai Purja climbed all fourteen mountains over 8000 meters in under seven months. Breaking the previous world record by over seven years.
Joe's face after he says did you see the bodies??! 😳😬😱💀💀😂😂😂
Joe "cant stop yawning" Rogan
Summiting Everest and risking other people's lives isn't always inspiring. Failing and surviving is more inspiring. Failure is underrated. Fail, and focus on better things. Live. However, it's thrilling to imagine the dedicated people who died and stayed on the mountain, forever. Like a testament of what death is.
Lol whattttt??????
What convoluted, nonsensical reasoning. And fyi, if you fail in mt Everest, you’re dead
Joe "I wear the same shirt 2 podcasts in a row" gan
row gan was a nice touch
It happened on the same day. He actually talked about how this was his second podcast of the day.
do you change your shirt multiple times a day?
You are a fucking wordsmith my dude lmao
“My mind went to the negativity immediately.”
Identify with that
I climbed everest oxygen free in tshirt and short's and sandles with socks and a knoted hankie on my head 😂😂😂😂
I did it naked and not afraid
In 6 hours
pretty sure theres someone who did
Joe: Are wolves on Everest? Bears....how about bears...did you see bear bodies?
Sounds exactly like the movie [Everest] storyline! Would absolutely love the SHERPA to be interviewed! JUST THINK, THE SHERPAS BUILT THE 50 LADDERS HE CROSSED TO SAVE HIS LIFE, AND HIS GOAL! Congrats on making the climb, but the SHERPA that guided is the true story!
weird how much he smiles as he talks
this guy loves himself, how many times is he gona bring up the fact hes a professional athlete. This guy loves flexing
You posted this on your couch stfu this guy is a beast.
@@jflowers090 couch? You know he's watching taking a shit.
I would be too if i was one
Is it wrong to love yourself? Fucks sake you people are fucked in the head he's not even cocky besides they're literally talking about his accomplishments what do you want him to say?
He is on the podcast to talk about it. What would you like him to talk about? Nascar?
Shit like this is what life is really about. Think of the stories this guy will have for his grandchildren when he's 60 years old. I wish I could do shit like this instead of just working life away to pay bills and barely get by lol
What about the sherpas?
I find it hard to stay motivated when you have 2 small amazing children, married to an amazing wife and have a 6 figure salary with a nice house, good cars and live in an amazing country (NZ)...saying all that I want more career success but find it hard to be motivated....it feels like being comfortable is such a de-motivating factor that know ones talks about...
It's all about your attitude and mindset. His hard work paid off..
My nephew climbed Everest at age 13 becoming the youngest to have done so. His name is Jordan Romero
beat a record by buying airplane tickets and paying locals to tell you what to do
I wish I could trade this guy to get Green Boots back.
Hmmm. Claims in this discussion to have climbed Everest on his own with a Sherpa guy he met the year before. The Himalayan Database shows he was with the Adventure Consultants expedition team on Everest that year. Each climber in that commercial expedition team would have their own dedicated Sherpa. That team had 9 clients (including Colin) and Team Leader was Mike Roberts from New Zealand. It's a team sport on Everest. The days of 'on my own' are long long gone.
this guy doesn't use periods or commas when he speaks and it's tiring me out
You don’t even use periods when you write.
Every time it cuts to joe his face is funnier
nimsdai be like hold my beers folks
Fun fact. Extended periods of time above 20k feet make your eyeballs expand dus to lack of pressure essentially being the opposite of glaucoma. The solution is a radial keratonomy which is done on site to prevent permanent blindness. It must be done before scar tissue is made under the retinae. It involves slicing your eyeball with 8 cuts going from the center of your lens outwards. Oh and don't scratch your eyes amd there's that mountain you haven't finished climbing yet..... good times
the sherpas carry all the equipments ladders what ever is needed, 90% sherpa maybe 10% you at best
Not the case with Colin. It was just him and another sherpa. Their pack weight was probably identical.
Says the person who has never been above 5000 feet.
@@NytronX I heard the sherpas already lay out the paths ladders etc
@Peter Kenefick yea but how many times are they doing it per week
@@michaelb1761 Highest I've gone is 7000 feet or 8000 feet C172
It's insane to me to wait in a line in the middle of nowhere in a mountain like that.
We need @Nimsdai on the pod !!
Colin speaks so succinctly 👍
5:20 ladder crossing, he has two safety ropes, not going to fall far. Way over hyped here.
I need a sherpa to get up my stairs😂😂😂😂
