The best video of all. These Australians are the real heroes in Everest climb. Hats off to the young guys, who conquest the summit ,without Shepas, ice doctors and guides. Presentation also is much better than Discovery channel's video. This team is not second to Edmund Hillery & Tenison.
Easily one of the best ascents of the mountain. Lincolin Hall published a great book about the ascent, superb read with lots of amazing photos. One of my most cherished possessions. I have read it several times at this stage. A true mountaineers tale. Well done lads, RIP Lincolin.
After watching too many Everest videos Its refreshing to see an expedition that did not include 200 people waiting at the Hillary step. This was a true mountaineer's excursion. They blazed a new trail, hauled up their own gear without O2, fixed all of their own ropes, with far less dead bodies & litter than is there today, and lived to tell the tale. The snow caves and improvised crampons were scary and unique compared to current standards.
And a few candles in your backpack can be the difference between life and death. A snow cave well insulated with a "Cold Sink"- i.e. a raised area for sleeping, can make the snow cave relatively warm compared to the outside temperature. Everest is now the worlds longest ego trip for rich inadequates who believe they actually climbed the mountain- not the Sherpas who in a number of cases- actually short hauled many of these none climbers up the mountain. Who the hell would bring tables, chairs and computer sat-navs up a mountain? Not the so called "Conquerers" but the poor Sherpas.
The guy at 1:12 didn't summit. He got altitude sickness and almost died. I think his name is Hall. Anyway it's a nice view of flat Earth. Even up there at 7000 feet you don't see the curvicature of Earth. NASA lies it's what they do. Astronots to the moon hallarious in a cardboard box wrapped in gold foil on 4 Dixie plates. Talk about insulting our intelligence.
Really impressive climb. Their courage and persistence was just amazing. This vid was also a very insightful look into the team work involved. All the climbers were team players and aware of their strengths and weaknesses. The ones that pulled back from the summit whole heartedly supported those that made it. They looked after each other, listened to each other and I am pretty sure that good self awareness plus good teamwork saved some of their parties lives. So nice to see such friendship and them all pulling together for a common goal. There were no drama queens, no throwing the rattle out of the pram, no falling out. That is so unusual and so refreshing and even those who did not reach the summit still achieved just as much in my eyes. But they took a huge risk to try and summit so late in the day. They were lucky to come down from there in the dark.
I had to go back to make sure this was really Everest after watching a while. No crowds, just a few friends climbing. This was one of my favorite Everest films. Almost all guys can relate to this.
A most remarkable feat of mental and physical endurance. Absolutely amazed at how mediocre their equipment was compared to the man-on-the moon suits of the modern era of climbing. Their achievement is more remarkable by the noticeable absence of assistance by the Sherpa on what is possibly one of the most difficult routes!
A fascinating documentary! So many 'Everest' docs are imported from America with melodramatic music and various interpersonal trivia. The above documentary lightly offers the facts, while also leaving the viewer free to their own opinion. No emotional pressure, America-style! This style of documentary filmmaking is so much more liberating for the viewer. Sometimes less is definitely more. As for the Mountaineers featured in the programme, they're achievement is pretty incredible. This doc is necessary viewing. Thanks for posting!
I do not know what films you are referring to? You must be very fragile. I do not know what films pressure you how to feel any emotion? Which America are you referring; North, Central or South America???🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Did the Annurpurna circuit in 1984 and Greg Mortimer lead the group. If you did not know who Greg Mortimer was, he wasn't about to tell you he had just climbed Mt Everest. Really nice guy and very humble. It was a great experience
I’ve watched a few of these Everest documentaries, but this one really had me on edge and really willing them to make it. Remarkable I’m happy they all made it back.
@Justin Russ yeah, Lincoln Hall was on this expedition, he later summitted during another climb and actually made it down with help from another team after being left for dead. Rob Hall died on Everest in 1996.
Absolutely phenomenal. One of the most impressive ascents on the mountain ever. Especially for a group from Australia which unfortunately I know all too well isn't the greatest training ground for the great peaks.
Wow! What an epic story of courage, perseverance, determination and grit, documented in celluloid. While, climbers have died on Mt. Everest due to lack of oxygen and limited acclimatization, this team tried and won against the odds but not unscathed though. The mountain extracted its toll nevertheless. Also, got to love the look, the feel, the inherent graininess of the documentaries made in the 70s and the 80s, which give them a totally other-worldly feel as opposed to modern day ultra HD look. The choice of background score and narration is top notch!
Amazing Documentary cheers for posting Tim some climber you are going up the Coulior and without oxygen and successfully reaching the summit what a team also great to show Lincoln as well Rip to him
If some one fights for “ who is the man now?” title, or “ Who have the Balls of Steel?” ,please show them this documentary. The word that have the real reason/meaning to move on or inspire you was “Crampons bitting firmly on the surface, don’t think about slipping its going to be impossible to break the fall of one and half kilometres. Don’t think about spindrift avalanches, may be they won’t get bigger. Dont think about the rasp in the throat or the red hot iron band around the chest, JUST CLIMB” These are the real Man with massive guts to be said. Respects Sirs,,, Respects.
Great team, humble, rational, not overly optimistic, with great awareness, yet daring. It seems to me they had one of the greatest combination of psychological and body strength, elements that allowed them to cooperate and made it down alive!
Wow I've watched a good number of vids on Everest climbs but this one 👌 one of the best. How delightful to see no traffic. No litter and countless numbers of abandoned camps. Didn't have to go through the ordeal of seeing previous climbers that unfortunately didn't make it of the mountain. Hauling their own equipment up the face and fixing their own rope lines as they ascend. Oh almost forgot, no help with oxygen as well. Just an amazing climb truely inspiring ✨ 🙌.
14 minutes into the video that yak throwing all that camera gear off his back had me laughing so hard. Lmfao. I love these everest videos. Thank you for posting for us all, and the great story telling.
I don’t consider those days too old. I was six years old then, and it seems like not too far back to me. My grandparents, b. 1914 and 1917 were from the days of old ;)
It's very refreshing and quite surreal to see an Everest documentary that not only happened about a decade before expeditions on the mountain became highly commercialised, but to see it being climbed up an almost inconceivable route with no oxygen support, and improvised camp sites in the form of small ice caves. I guess this was truly the "North Face" route. It's certainly one of the most innovative and daring approaches I've ever seen and I can't imagine this route having ever been repeated in subsequent Everest expeditions! I was gripped! In fact this documentary is just as gripping as "Sea to Summit"!
@Barb Mulvaney Thanks for your response. Yes, I agree that not only should they select those who have the right aptitude, but also contribute in a way that is beneficial for the "environmental health" of these mountains.
@Barb Mulvaney I can't agree more with you Barb! The Sherpas are underpaid, but need the money for bettering there family and children,,,,,,,,,,, blessings to you!
Amazing video with REAL heroes! This is true and pure mountaineering. Cheers for giving me the best start to my day! Wishing you all well from the UK ❤️
Thank you very much for this wonderful video. REAL MOUNTAINEERS🥰 REAL COURAGE , DETERMINATION, BRAVE AND HARD WORK. Mountaineers who use Sherpa to conquer EVEREST, Not conquering, hanging on ropes SHERPA made for them and dragging down by SHERPA , must watch this video. I am sure there are many real mountaineers conquered EVEREST ! These guys , Tim and Greg are conquered EVEREST , 200% of their courages, brave, determination and hardworking. Waited for this video and reality for long time. You are just beautiful and wonderful , Tim and Greg🙏
EPIC!!! Who says, We can't climb to Space? Truly shows the Audacity of Humans! Did you notice the pace of Tim at altitude? Un-Freaking Believable! THIS IS MOUNTAINEERING! Climbers using oxygen are just taking a Walk in the Park! Almost forgot, The ability and quality of the video is amazing for the early 80`s! It's CRAZY
This is an awesome documentary! How have I not even heard of this Doc before! Thanks UA-cam for the suggestion! Vegemite at ABC & the ‘box’ an Aussie Esky seriously deserve some free advertising after remaining intact after that spectacular fall! Ooh & let’s mention the yak with the love heart on his forehead ❤️. Best Everest footage by far! Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!
i really enjoyed this movie.........This is an awesome documentary!...........A remarkable feat of mental and physical endurance.........This was a true mountaineer's excursion....... Their courage and persistence was amazing.........i really cant understand why a person would dislike this movie.....
Damn these old videos of climbing Everest are the best out there. Think about the gear and the loads they carried back then and how much its improved now. True pioneers of the time. Hardcore balls of steel the lot of them.
Thanks for uploading the video Tim. Just finished reading Lincoln's book about the expedition (lol more than 30 years after it was published) and was eager to actually see some footage. Impressive.
I so didn't want this to end! I'm watching this for the first time in March 2019. My only knowledge of Lincoln Hall was him being left for dead on the Mountain some years ago. I had no idea of his rich mountaineering history until now!
I was obliviously enjoying this and my glance landed on who posted the video and my jaw dropped. There are some real Diamonds in the rough here on UA-cam!
Awesome video!!! The strength of the human body & mind is amazing! Paved a new way to the most beautiful view in the world & to make it back down .....WOW! Bravo! I have read this story but watching this shows the true hardships. Thanks !
The guy with the thin shirt!! I thought I was seeing things. Had to pause video to verify. How did he not get hypothermia..These guys are so cool. They deserved to win.
Nice one, i used to do a bit of outdoor stuff. Had kids and lost the feeling. Now they are about to finish school I'm trying to the mindset back. Thanks Tim, watching this, a step in the right direction.
The DUDE in the trucker hat is spot on, up to date, how a skateboarder would look 2021. That made me feel like the film was shot yesterday. And 16mm film is just amazing, unbeatable, even by todays standards. Parts of the rock climb there looked like the House’s Chimney! This was a really solid expedition 👌🏻 Btw, the zoom out at 45:07 tells it all, wow.
Great doco .. amazing effort from these young fellows , Thoroughly enjoyable So well documented for such a tiny team . So happy they all made back down . Especially the 2 coming down in the dark .. l felt for the fellow whose crampon broke , l suppose the what if only must of ran through his mind then lose fingers and thumb later on due to the breakage .it Amazed me how quick frostbite sets in . Love these presentations rather than the trashy stuff of the last 20 years
Not a sherpa or oxygen tank in sight ...but plenty of Norton Couloir -- the lonely second step off to the north but a flea bite -- looking a luxury -- perhaps a good spot to camp -- lol -- now that's cool -- omg just remarkable
Really enjoyed your Everest videos Tim. Even more impressive is your teams ascent of Gasherbrum 4 given the mountains enormous technical difficulties and the fact that no one had reached its summit for nearly 3 decades. Be nice if it could be posted someday on youtube for others to enjoy (unless copyright or some other factors come into play).
@@Amped4Life you can buy it for $20 from National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) that's the only place i could find it. its called 'harder than everest', i couldnt find it for free anywhere.
Can imagine that Lincoln Hall in his next attempt to the summit almost die, but survived in a incredible history. Unfortunately he died some years sick with cancer.
madbpt I admire what Lincoln Hall had done, I hope it gave him mental comfort & satisfaction. I am glad he had some years with his family after his Himalayan climbing years, I hope that those were mostly comfortable years. Mesothelioma is a dreadful disease.
Mark Boyce when I heard you and your little band at Timbertop crank up your amplifier and play ‘The Weight’ it was a revelation and I thought you were a legend!
@@timmacartney-snape5383 thank you mate.We all climb mountains in life to get to the other side however what you have achieved is monumental and i'm proud to call you a friend.Check out this clip ii just did with my band Eastern Kings.Stay well always Tim. ua-cam.com/video/w_yZQAl0beI/v-deo.html
Wow , I have watched a lot of climbing videos but only found this one just now. I kept thinking , no way , no way and they did it! How did they climb down in the dark with no ropes? Unbelievable!
So good to see a route on Everest with no rubbish or dead bodies, this climb and the one on Annapurna 2 are amazing
The best video of all. These Australians are the real heroes in Everest climb. Hats off to the young guys, who conquest the summit ,without Shepas, ice doctors and guides. Presentation also is much better than Discovery channel's video. This team is not second to Edmund Hillery & Tenison.

Easily one of the best ascents of the mountain. Lincolin Hall published a great book about the ascent, superb read with lots of amazing photos. One of my most cherished possessions. I have read it several times at this stage. A true mountaineers tale. Well done lads, RIP Lincolin.
And then his story 20 years later also….what a guy!
@@Housey1985 ~ l always remember that when they brought him down ..he told his wife, or someone ... ''l'm doing the lethargy for about four people.''
@@theresa42213 I loved that line too 😬
I thought i recognized Lincoln
Not only did your team climb Everest without oxygen you also documented it for the world to enjoy. Thank you for posting and sharing the journey.
I love this Australian team, authentic, adventurous, humble and genuine.
This is by far and above the best Australian climbing video !! And my personal favourite of all time. What a bunch of bloody legends !!

And ladies :)
Go there now you still wont see too many on this route
Yes it was winter, no people up there! 👍
Wow. You guys tackled that mountain hard straight up! What’s cool is you did it from the Tibet side!
What a wonderfully inspirational story. Two Australians summited for themselves, their climbing buddies, and their country. Amazing young men.

Your are real Everest conquerors and your efforts were outstanding. All my respect and appreciation to all the team members.
This is probably the greatest climb of Everest. New hard route, first time, no O2, no support on the mountain, great team effort
No protein either! Amazing!
@@Upgraydez plenty of Vegemite though mate 😜👍
And they were using spare equipment that had to scrounge up. Insane.
@@UpgraydezThey had loads of protein - nuts seeds etc etc, just not from meat sources. Vegetarian doesn't mean no protein (same for vegan of course.)
Second best Reinhold Messners 1980 climb of the north face a new route without oxygen solo
Prob best one ive seen on everest.....the traffic jams at the top now just hurt my heart....
Love seeing young Greg and young Lincoln together. What a gem of a documentary. God bless Hall Family
I thought his name was rob hall
That's a climber from NZ who died on Everest in 1996.

I wonder if they ever found that camera equipment. No doubt, nothing will be useful in today’s world 🤷🏼♀️☺️enjoyed this documentary from long ago!
Watching for 2nd time……it’s humbling❤ wonderful journey thank you❤

commercialization everest started about 1988. not before. At the time this climbing occurred, there was no “tourist climber” there.
Yes, real men! Been on a climbing kick last week on THE INTERNET :D Closest ILl go to it! But, does make me want to go to the rock climbing gym!

It's CRAZY
Love these old genuine films😎 Raw Honest And Real.
Wow, not seen many vids that focus on a route other than South Col. This was great! Thx for uploading
I climbed a bit with Greg Child and he always expressed a ton of respect for this expedition. Thanks for the upload.
Great docu! Hacked their way up, old school!

Knowing what happened to Lincoln Hall over a decade after this trip makes this really impactful

Holy crap! They snow caved it on Everest at camp 2! Thats epic
Really Nice Documentary, Congratulations for all young expeditión. Good Job.!!!
this is real everest clim salute you guys
Superb documentary, loved every second of it! Amazing and unimaginable
This is very raw and true to the soul. When exLORpring WAS ACTUALLY,,,,, JUST THAT....EXPLORING.
I mean, tbf a guy that paid his way up to Everest wouldn’t call himself an explorer would he, or call the climb exploring?
An incredible achievement!
Amazing...real mountaineering and fascinating watching this. Never knew about this...thanks for posting the documentary
Such a wonderful documentary thankyou for upload this
Lincoln Hall climbed it again in 2006, I believe. He almost lost his life, too. It's a great story, miracle on Everest.
He spent the night in the death zone of I recall.
I so didn't want this to end! I'm watching this for the first time in March 2019. My only knowledge of Lincoln Hall was him being left for dead on the Mountain some years ago. I had no idea of his rich mountaineering history until now!
Thank you for sharing this. I have been watching lots of videos about Everest and this is far the best. Well done!
I was obliviously enjoying this and my glance landed on who posted the video and my jaw dropped. There are some real Diamonds in the rough here on UA-cam!
I enjoy this one very much.
love everything about this film. one of the greatest expeditions.
Lovely documentary enjoyed watching
Them times Everest felt like a mountain boys done all there own work ,, excellent team
Bloke eats Vegemite for the first time! Loved that moment.
And made the same face everyone makes who wasn't fed that stuff as a child😄
Awesome video!!! The strength of the human body & mind is amazing! Paved a new way to the most beautiful view in the world & to make it back down .....WOW! Bravo! I have read this story but watching this shows the true hardships. Thanks !
Excellent doco - great narration.
The guy with the thin shirt!! I thought I was seeing things. Had to pause video to verify. How did he not get hypothermia..These guys are so cool. They deserved to win.
Nice one, i used to do a bit of outdoor stuff. Had kids and lost the feeling. Now they are about to finish school I'm trying to the mindset back.
Thanks Tim, watching this, a step in the right direction.
In 1984 I was 26 years-old just like these guys.
Good old days of Marlboro man. Beautiful documentary btw.
This is in my opinion (after watching a lot of other big siege operations) the most successful attempt on Everest of all time, period.
Epic. Well done all.

Love these presentations rather than the trashy stuff of the last 20 years
Man, that cooler was fkn tough!!! Props Mr YAK
In all these videos I've watched I don't think the camera man gets enough credit for his climbing skills and steady hand.
Thanks for your comment. We actually filmed ourselves on the mountain with super 8 film cameras
@Tim Macartney-Snape Nice ! I don't know much about it but very nice.

you're a legend, Tim!
Its weird to think of how many people were still alive during this filming and died later on that mountain since 1984.
And lincoln Hall almost died at 50yr on Everest... Lost his fingers.
Yes, very weird and so so sad. I wasn't even born yet either which is strange for me to think about whilst watching this
@@walk-tall-hikes just the tips !
Incredible achievement regardless of the luck - unlikely to be repeated as everyone follows the guided track
This film is antique of legends. Im living in 2021
Epic adventure .Best documentary I have watched in years. Can anyone confirm if this was filmed by Michael Dillon ,the Aussie cinematographer ?
Michael Dillon did the filming up to the base of the mountain.
Really enjoyed your Everest videos Tim. Even more impressive is your teams ascent of Gasherbrum 4 given the mountains enormous technical difficulties and the fact that no one had reached its summit for nearly 3 decades. Be nice if it could be posted someday on youtube for others to enjoy (unless copyright or some other factors come into play).
thanks Andrew - unfortunately to help recoup some of the cost of the film stock, I sold the rights to Film Australia.
@@timmacartney-snape5383 do you know where or how I can watch this given it seems to be not on UA-cam?
@@Amped4Life you can buy it for $20 from National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) that's the only place i could find it. its called 'harder than everest', i couldnt find it for free anywhere.
Can imagine that Lincoln Hall in his next attempt to the summit almost die, but survived in a incredible history. Unfortunately he died some years sick with cancer.
madbpt I admire what Lincoln Hall had done, I hope it gave him mental comfort & satisfaction. I am glad he had some years with his family after his Himalayan climbing years, I hope that those were mostly comfortable years. Mesothelioma is a dreadful disease.
Awesome documentarty! :)
Massive respect to the climber trying to climb Mt Everest wearing a button-up shirt.
Tim had huge lungs even when we were at Timbertop. Legend Tim Macartney-Snape. Mark Boyce.
Mark Boyce when I heard you and your little band at Timbertop crank up your amplifier and play ‘The Weight’ it was a revelation and I thought you were a legend!
@@timmacartney-snape5383 thank you mate.We all climb mountains in life to get to the other side however what you have achieved is monumental and i'm proud to call you a friend.Check out this clip ii just did with my band Eastern Kings.Stay well always Tim. ua-cam.com/video/w_yZQAl0beI/v-deo.html
@Mark Boyce -that’s a very cool firey apocalyptic video!
@@timmacartney-snape5383 thanks should get someones attention, hopefully.
Wow , I have watched a lot of climbing videos but only found this one just now. I kept thinking , no way , no way and they did it! How did they climb down in the dark with no ropes? Unbelievable!
