Alan you're the best. I just climbed Everest with you😊. Next is K2 for us to climb sometimes in July I guess 💪💪💪. I tell ya nothing can beat armchair mountaineering 😅
: ) You made me smile 🤣. I'm one of those people whose body absolutely rejects altitude.. But I love hearing Alan's stories.. He's a consummate story-teller, and I rely on his reportage each year for up to date news. I hope he'll keep his channel going for many years to come : )
I've always wanted to make it to Everest base camp, but I have never thought I would summit this amazing mountain. Thanks for taking me along with you Alan.
Wow! Beautiful story telling. I love everything Mt Everest but as an spectator and from the comfort of my home, I don’t have what it takes to be a mountaineer however listening to you just now made me want to do it, even if it is to Base Camp only 🤗❤️😍
Alan, thank you. Your narratives are wonderful. I’ve loved the thought of climbing Mt. Everest since I was 10 yrs old. When my parents bought me a globe……and there it was Mt Everest. I’ve read all the books and articles. I seen all the movies. However, today I was there with summiting. Thank you again, from a 77 year old grandmother. Yes, memories are every ❤
I am a sixty-five-year-old Grandma who's had some amazing life adventures. Everest will not be one of them. I love listening to your first-hand personal accounts of summiting. And your respect for all the Sherpas! Keep up the excellent work!!
Alan, I love your podcast, I’m a non climber obsessed with climbing 😂 thank you for your podcasts, you have a very soothing and inspiring voice. A couple of questions; why are the climbers and companies so messy and why do they leave all that rubbish behind?? Shocking pics in the news today. Can you tell us about the Malaysian guy rescued tied to the back of a hero Sherpa also seen in the news... Thank you 😊 Sarah - Manchester UK
Thank you so much for everything you do Alan! These always really hit home with me. As I prepare for my first 8000m peak, I find watching you in the morning a great inspiring way to start the day! ❤
I'm sure it's an amazing feeling. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I will never be able to accomplish such a feat, but I love reading and hearing about it. I've read all of Ed Viester's, John Krakauer and David Breashear's books as well as Annapurna. With the technology that we have today we can live the adventure vicariously. Of course I always pray for those that have perished. It motivates me to find the what I call, the "little Everest's" in my life to climb. Thanks.
Absolutely BRILLIANT Alan !!!! It was so capitivating listening to your deeply detailed recollection of your AMAZING experience ! I'm sooooo happy to have heard your awe inspiring first hand acount. It was absolutely riveting !!!!!!!! Thank you ! I look forward to your next vlogs my friend. From a very low level Irish volcano hiker in Japan, haha !
A living room but people don’t stand on the precise top Sherpas feel it is disrespectful to stand literally on the tippy top since that is where Miyolangsangma, the Tibetan Goddess of Mountains, lives.
Outstanding description of the final summit day, realy captures the emmotion that films don't. I could taste the Lemon tea Alan! - great job. This is undoubtedly the most balanced channel on 8000m climbing. Presumeably we move on to the Karakorams now?
As I'm sitting listening to this podcast a customer walks into our workshop AND his hands are a bit bandaged... I ask what did you do to your hands, he said I just came back from sumitting Mt Everst I'm totally thinking whaaaat! Honest story 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
For those who died at the south summit, are those folks left on the mountain? Thank you once again for these narratives. They’re the closest I will ever get to being there.
Yahusha, it's usually up to the families and they want the body returned home for closure or other reasons. But it's expensive, costing tens of thousands of dollars and take Sherpas willing to do it, and it dangerous. With all that, most bodies are retrieved.
Has anybody made the obvious link of the recent mandated mass global medical experiment and many of these unusual, unexplained deaths on Everest this year? Spike proteins, blood clots and high altitude don’t mix very well. RIP to all lost souls, at least you passed on chasing your dreams 🙏🏼
Such losses are a nightmare. I guess it's worth it to a real mountaineer but it's crazy to think of all the folks who have died there and on the other big peaks.
Imagine realizing you are going to be the next corpse on Everest. All alone in the cold harsh conditions, your family thousands of miles away, unaware.
Extremely physically demanding to ferry too many spare bottles. The best teams bring enough to meet their needs and some spares, but not a massive amount. The worse teams bring barely enough.
Sadly, the O2 was probably a local job as the Sherpas more than likely would have informed on out of country sherpas already. They aren't going to turn in their own. The whole theft makes it harder for all climbers to trust the Sherpas and the outfits they work for...not that yu have a choice once you are at the spot where your O2 was stashed and it's gone. You have to trust the sherpa to take you down or find a solution? That's sad. Thrives are such disgusting people
You are the expert on these matters, but there has to be incompetence involved. But again, you are the expert. The Sherpas, pure accidents. So heartbreaking as they are the providers for extremely poor families. So many of these companies are in it for the money! My question is why it is allowed???? Disagree about stolen oxygen bottles. It did somebody good, the thieves!!! There is no lower form on this earth, than those who steal life from others. May Karma pay these filthy thieves back tenfold. It’s equates to looting during a natural disaster. A POX on them and the next ten generations of their seed!!!!
I wanted to thank you! I basically listen to podcasts while busy with mindless tasks. This was awesome to hear.
Heartfelt gratitude, Alan.💙
Love the narratives!
Your experience and beautiful story makes me feel like I have summited Everest with you.
Thank you for the updates Namaste
I look forward to this channel all year, I hope he keeps it up
Me too.
Sad for those who lost their lives. You shared the news with respect. Excellent story telling!

Thanks, it’s safer except for the chips!!
Yes ❤! For those who physically cannot do it but have dreamed….. this is excellent. So descriptive and gets the emotions going, fantastic!!! Ty
Your comment touched me deeply. Thank you.
I've always wanted to make it to Everest base camp, but I have never thought I would summit this amazing mountain. Thanks for taking me along with you Alan.
I will just wait 20 - 30 years when they actually have a escalator and fast food to the summit
If you can do the trek to EBC, do it. A fantastic experience! Ignore the cynics.
Wow! Beautiful story telling. I love everything Mt Everest but as an spectator and from the comfort of my home, I don’t have what it takes to be a mountaineer however listening to you just now made me want to do it, even if it is to Base Camp only 🤗❤️😍
Thanks for the updates and your summary of summiting and descending Everest!
Love love love your narrative on climbing Everest! Thanks for doing this!

Wonderful narratives on climbing Everest Alan. Wonderfully articulated and informative! Thank you!
Great podcast
Shame on anyone who gives you a dislike. I love hearing you share your knowledge of Mt. Everest.
It’s okay. Everyone has an opinion 👍
Beautiful narrative ! Thanks for sharing.
I was thinking the same thing. Climbers missing. Oxygen running out. Chaotic is indeed accurate.
I am a sixty-five-year-old Grandma who's had some amazing life adventures. Everest will not be one of them. I love listening to your first-hand personal accounts of summiting. And your respect for all the Sherpas! Keep up the excellent work!!
Blessings Elizabeth

Well done Alan!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! It’s fascinating 🙏
Great podcast 👍
Yes do we really know how many are missing? It seems so unclear right now.
Great narrative! Ty
2-4. The fog of climbing.
How can we finagle year round videos from you? Lol I could listen to your stories everyday
Will you be publishing the full narrative is it on the blog? Cheers thanks for the coverage
Nah, just enjoying sharing these stories
Woof ❤ to Marley!
Woof back!
How large is the summit area? Can it hold many people at one time?
A living room but people don’t stand on the precise top Sherpas feel it is disrespectful to stand literally on the tippy top since that is where Miyolangsangma, the Tibetan Goddess of Mountains, lives.
As you were uploading this video, Kristin Harila summited Everest.
Will we see yet another quick try for Lhotse ?
Outstanding description of the final summit day, realy captures the emmotion that films don't. I could taste the Lemon tea Alan! - great job. This is undoubtedly the most balanced channel on 8000m climbing. Presumeably we move on to the Karakorams now?
Thanks James especially for the balanced comment. Not sure about the Karakorum. I do have a lot of stories and great memories from Broad Peak and K2.
As I'm sitting listening to this podcast a customer walks into our workshop AND his hands are a bit bandaged... I ask what did you do to your hands, he said I just came back from sumitting Mt Everst I'm totally thinking whaaaat! Honest story 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Whooooo! The Universe speaks!!
Nice Giraffe : )
She thanks you!
Can we get one last update on the season please? Enjoy your info and analysis.
Thank you Brian. I’m planning on a season summary and the last Everest narrative on returning home. I sincerely appreciate your interest.
That is crazy to me people still oxygen from others. I have never climbed so I have no idea how things are up there but damn.
For those who died at the south summit, are those folks left on the mountain? Thank you once again for these narratives. They’re the closest I will ever get to being there.
Yeah they probably will be left up there.
Yahusha, it's usually up to the families and they want the body returned home for closure or other reasons. But it's expensive, costing tens of thousands of dollars and take Sherpas willing to do it, and it dangerous. With all that, most bodies are retrieved.

Imagine realizing you are going to be the next corpse on Everest. All alone in the cold harsh conditions, your family thousands of miles away, unaware.
More people, more chaos.
why do they take the ladders off of Everst?
They are on moving glaciers and bend, fall in or disappear so to be reused next year, they remove them.
Seems death is accepted by many climbers.
Agree. You have to accept that there is risk.
Why the hell don’t they bring up a massive amount of reserve oxygen in case of emergency’s.
Extremely physically demanding to ferry too many spare bottles. The best teams bring enough to meet their needs and some spares, but not a massive amount. The worse teams bring barely enough.
It’s crazy and there needs to be stricter regulations around it. It’s just takes money and man power.
We just lost another Canadian Dr up there.
Yes. My condolences, Rob
To note that all deaths were with nepali operators.
Not all. One was with US company.
место опасное и проходимое

It’s a business, Sushi. Plain and simple. A means to make a profit.
Always sad to hear abouth the Deathstars on the montain! But Thanks a lot Allan, You are a fantastic teller! 😊⛰
