    I love the series. I am just disaapointed at what summiting everest has become. It used to be the peak of mounteneering, with hard conditions, only suitable for the upmost experienced. Now anyone can pay to stay in VIP lounges and have hot meals prepared by a chef at basecamp. I was thinking about going to everest, as a mountain clinmber myself, but all this commercialisation, takes away one of the most beautiful elements of summiting a mountain. The challange.

  • @Twinkthekid1
    @Twinkthekid1 Рік тому +9

    I feel like a broken record repeating what many people are saying , but just like the woman at the end ascribed to you Donnie , you’re a great storyteller highlighting the people around the mountain rather than the actual spectacle they’re all there for. Genuinely happy that we’re all able to go on these adventures with you through UA-cam. That part at the end kinda got me choked up , keep it up wonton don.

    Hey Don, been following you for 6ish years at this point. Loved your content, since I came across it. I think it would be incredible if at some point in this series, you really talked about the sherpas and how uncomfortable or a topic that is currently and has been for a minute. Currently the rate of a Sherpas life on Everest is about 10k usd. When they are the folks doing all the work and setting all the lines, if you don’t know much about the subject, there’s muchos info online. And would really appreciate you using your platform to shed some light on this contentious issue.
    Thanks brother 🙏
