@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.
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 ✨ 🙌.
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!
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!
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 ;)
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!
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!
I have just finished reading the late Lincoln Hall's book "White Limbo" which is a brilliant account of this and several other of Lincoln's climbing expeditions. I always wondered if the "White Limbo" naming of the route up Everest was based off the Australian Crawl song?
4th ime watching this movie I've never climbed in my life but this another 1967 Sentinel of Royal robbins yvon choupard (sp) my favourite older fly on the wall documentaries xxx
In 60's 70's 80's the tourist also got the real enjoyment of marijuana and weed of Himalayas.....weed was legal those days and 2nd home of Bob Marley was in kathamandu!!!
i love this doc. but i feel so bad for lincon, he did most of the work, and on summit day he just didn't have anymore go juice in the tank. glad he eventually got to the summit, even though that experience on its own would have been intense haha.
@@timmacartney-snape5383 Miracle on Everest ua-cam.com/video/IrHE35DL2Lo/v-deo.html - About 20 or so years later Lincoln Hall gave Everest another try, but despite making it to the summit he developed high altitude sickness became delirious on the way down. I won't spoil the rest but it definitely is a story worth knowing about and a documentary worth watching.
yeah fast forward 2020,Narative: We join an expedition group and here are some of the climbers, lets see what they are doing and saying: "Hi im Suzy Nobody and this is my husband Earl, say hello Earl (Earl waves at IPhone)" ., So where are you from and what do you do? .."Oh weve been married 15 years now this Tuesday, we hope to reach the summit so we can renew our vows, we saw an adventure of a life time ad online as we were watching porn together and, this ad just popped up by the Shonky Death and Body tour of Everest, they throw in all the extras for the same price as one of those cramped and overcrowded cruises, so because were amatuer UA-cam Vloggers , you can subscribe at "yepweredumbasses, " leave a comment about how brave we are and spiritual if you want(thumbs up to IPhone) , Oh Earl here is a retired accountant and im a neghborhood walking enthusiast, Ive made some Vlogs of very steep streets in my neighborhood" Narator:Did the sherpas who are probably going to die with No compensation to family ect,saving you tell you that the possibilty of even surviving here at base camp is really less than being in a full battle with the Taliban in Afghanistan, let alone reach the summit, which you have more chances of descending alive than a rabbit thrown into a Pitbull arena with half starved pitbulls in it?...Suzy: "Yes I know exciting isnt it!, as for the sherpas i was told by a friend of a friend of one of my subscribers that sherpas are built for it you know walking up hills ,and i paid good money , so eh, besides how can i Vlog really well without my descktop and monitor webcam and wifi equiptment and if you think im paying to sit on the cold ground when i can sit in a comfy arm chair that ive bought all the way from home, when we stop for a break at a crevasse or ladder look 1 sherpa can carry that, its only 100 kilos, sherpas can carry lots of weight up and down the mountain, their like Gazelles, well youve got another thing coming , ill sue some one , wont we Earl(nudges Earl , Earl waves at IPhone) , cut visual, new scene Narator to Sherpa (in Nepalese) so what do you think?,...

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Equipment hasn't changed much in past 40 yrs. This just shows if you have adequate equipment. The rest relies on the ability to withstand brutal conditions and extreme fatigue
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!
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!

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.
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 ❤️
Thanks for posting this. I am doing a brief video on this climb, and looking at the route drawing from White Limb, I have two questions: (1) Was the route out of the couloir and onto the ridge primarily rock or snow when you climbed it? (2) On the descent, the line in the book looks like it is slightly below the "small gully" that comes off the main couloir to the west. Did the descent use the "small gully"? If so, do you have any comments on the climb-ability of that "small gully?" My videos relate to Mallory and Irvine and am I am looking into the feasibility that they could have climbed that "small gully." Any comments you might have would be appreciated.
Good question Michael, Firstly, the rib was mostly rock - unsurprisingly very loose, precariously stacked blocks - luckily horizontally bedded. The only reason for going there being to get into the morning sun as we were feeling the cold. Secondly the descent was down the main (right looking in) gully directly at the top of the couloir. It was dark when we descended it. The steep step at the bottom was about 40 metres which we rapped down on a single strand - as the only rope we had was 40 m it was left in place and later used by Phil Ershler and John Roskelley on Phil’s successful summit bid - they had traversed in from the north ridge. Though it was dark, I’m sure that gully would have been relatively easy to climb. But in regard to Mallory and Irvine, They were last seen high on the north ridge so wouldn’t it be unlikely that they traversed downwards to the ‘Norton couloir’?
@@timmacartney-snape5383 Thanks for this info. A lot of new information has come out about Mallory and Irvine, including Mallory's intended routes -- his primary route was to climb out the gully you descended. Most likely, he took his backup which is a "zig-zag" route to the east of the couloir -- which is where Odell saw him. The issues are (1) if Odell was mistaken, Mallory would be assumed to climb his primary route and (2) if Odell was not mistaken, Mallory had to have seen something that made him believe the "zig-zag" was the easier of the two. Perhaps his lack of crampons made him favor the rock. I have some videos that go over this: ua-cam.com/video/QJd8Ir_H-YE/v-deo.html . With 2024 being the 100 year anniversary, there is a lot of interest and now the debate is not really between the First or Second Step but between people who think Odell saw them exiting the "zig-zag" and those that think Odell saw nothing (rocks, birds, etc) and they climbed out along your descent route. So, there is a lot of renewed interest in your climb. Of course, if you have any comments about either of those routes, your ideas would be greatly appreciated. I went back in 2018 looking for Irvine but there was too much snow. With the North closed for the foreseeable future, I'm trying to make the best with the information we do have.
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!
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
I remember hearing a mountaineer saying that if he conquered Everest he had no excuse not to be able to do anything else. I agree...to a point. If you come back and have to have your extremities cut off then there are limitations to what you can do despite having climbed Everest.
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
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'm just gonna pop to the top of Everest for a laugh.. £100k later, might lose some fingers and toes if I'm lucky, get diarrhoea and vomiting from rotten Yak meat and get a severe respiratory infection from sharing contaminated o2 masks and water sharing. Sounds worth it right? Hats off to those folks who made it back down alive.
That Sherpa on his little pipe wouldn’t be out of place in a Dublin bar ,it was strangely Irish sounding , fantastic adventure , probably impossible today because of the crowded mountain it is today
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.
No shurpa where hurt during the filming of the show ! Now here is some real mountaineering. Does not look commercialized and didn't in someway seem diluted . I think nowadays people climbing Everest... it's just kind of stupid. And nobody that is not mentally and physically fit should be allowed to go up the mountain ! shame on the people who take people up there that just have no reason to be up there. Nowadays anybody with enough money and the help of a sherpa can climb the mountain. No guarantee you'llll make it down alive..... but you can climb.
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!
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.
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

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.
@tony micel - well that was a vile and pointless dose of immaturity.
I like that yaks have a mind of their own......... ditch the gear, I’m out of here 😂🤣😂
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.
Wow. You guys tackled that mountain hard straight up! What’s cool is you did it from the Tibet side!
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.
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.
Equipment hasn't changed much in past 40 yrs. This just shows if you have adequate equipment. The rest relies on the ability to withstand brutal conditions and extreme fatigue
Prob best one ive seen on everest.....the traffic jams at the top now just hurt my heart....
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!
I know what you mean. Lately I've become addicted to old documentaries. Somehow they feel way more engaging to me, and not pretentious
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!
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!
this is real everest clim salute you guys
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???🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
this is an Australian real life video of their ascent in 1984
American documentaries are totally dire.
Fuck hollywood-style documentaries. absolute crap.
This is in my opinion (after watching a lot of other big siege operations) the most successful attempt on Everest of all time, period.
This is by far and above the best Australian climbing video !! And my personal favourite of all time. What a bunch of bloody legends !!
l as M L u c L as M this is the best Everest video not just in Australia but in the world!
Holy crap! They snow caved it on Everest at camp 2! Thats epic
Your are real Everest conquerors and your efforts were outstanding. All my respect and appreciation to all the team members.
What a wonderfully inspirational story. Two Australians summited for themselves, their climbing buddies, and their country. Amazing young men.
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.
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 !
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 ❤️
Thanks for posting this. I am doing a brief video on this climb, and looking at the route drawing from White Limb, I have two questions: (1) Was the route out of the couloir and onto the ridge primarily rock or snow when you climbed it? (2) On the descent, the line in the book looks like it is slightly below the "small gully" that comes off the main couloir to the west. Did the descent use the "small gully"? If so, do you have any comments on the climb-ability of that "small gully?" My videos relate to Mallory and Irvine and am I am looking into the feasibility that they could have climbed that "small gully." Any comments you might have would be appreciated.
Good question Michael,
Firstly, the rib was mostly rock - unsurprisingly very loose, precariously stacked blocks - luckily horizontally bedded. The only reason for going there being to get into the morning sun as we were feeling the cold.
Secondly the descent was down the main (right looking in) gully directly at the top of the couloir. It was dark when we descended it. The steep step at the bottom was about 40 metres which we rapped down on a single strand - as the only rope we had was 40 m it was left in place and later used by Phil Ershler and John Roskelley on Phil’s successful summit bid - they had traversed in from the north ridge. Though it was dark, I’m sure that gully would have been relatively easy to climb. But in regard to Mallory and Irvine, They were last seen high on the north ridge so wouldn’t it be unlikely that they traversed downwards to the ‘Norton couloir’?
@@timmacartney-snape5383 Thanks for this info. A lot of new information has come out about Mallory and Irvine, including Mallory's intended routes -- his primary route was to climb out the gully you descended. Most likely, he took his backup which is a "zig-zag" route to the east of the couloir -- which is where Odell saw him. The issues are (1) if Odell was mistaken, Mallory would be assumed to climb his primary route and (2) if Odell was not mistaken, Mallory had to have seen something that made him believe the "zig-zag" was the easier of the two. Perhaps his lack of crampons made him favor the rock. I have some videos that go over this: ua-cam.com/video/QJd8Ir_H-YE/v-deo.html .
With 2024 being the 100 year anniversary, there is a lot of interest and now the debate is not really between the First or Second Step but between people who think Odell saw them exiting the "zig-zag" and those that think Odell saw nothing (rocks, birds, etc) and they climbed out along your descent route. So, there is a lot of renewed interest in your climb.
Of course, if you have any comments about either of those routes, your ideas would be greatly appreciated. I went back in 2018 looking for Irvine but there was too much snow. With the North closed for the foreseeable future, I'm trying to make the best with the information we do have.
I have never watched any thing on Everest like this 😊😊
Amazing footage of an amazing climb. True adventure
this is real everest clim salute you guys
Simply amazing
Can't believe the sacrifices these guys gave for Everest. Truly amazing
Best hour I have spend on youtube, so inspirational.
Spent😉😉
I'm inspired stay on my couch and not freeze to death... kidding. I enjoy watching people do sth THEY enjoy
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!
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.
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
That was superb. Thank you for the upload.
I remember hearing a mountaineer saying that if he conquered Everest he had no excuse not to be able to do anything else. I agree...to a point. If you come back and have to have your extremities cut off then there are limitations to what you can do despite having climbed Everest.
Strange not to see litter and large groups of people all over the mountain.
Normally the large groups leave before October ;)
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?
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
I climbed a bit with Greg Child and he always expressed a ton of respect for this expedition. Thanks for the upload.
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'm just gonna pop to the top of Everest for a laugh.. £100k later, might lose some fingers and toes if I'm lucky, get diarrhoea and vomiting from rotten Yak meat and get a severe respiratory infection from sharing contaminated o2 masks and water sharing. Sounds worth it right? Hats off to those folks who made it back down alive.
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.
there mountaineers were wearing such normal clothing in the mountain and sleeping topless.....were they not cold?
It’s all in the mind. Check out The Iceman WIM HOFF!!
That Sherpa on his little pipe wouldn’t be out of place in a Dublin bar ,it was strangely Irish sounding , fantastic adventure , probably impossible today because of the crowded mountain it is today
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.
Drinking from my sea-to-summit cup while watching. Read about your climb years ago, but just now watching the film. Fantastic!
No shurpa where hurt during the filming of the show ! Now here is some real mountaineering. Does not look commercialized and didn't in someway seem diluted . I think nowadays people climbing Everest... it's just kind of stupid. And nobody that is not mentally and physically fit should be allowed to go up the mountain ! shame on the people who take people up there that just have no reason to be up there. Nowadays anybody with enough money and the help of a sherpa can climb the mountain. No guarantee you'llll make it down alive..... but you can climb.
Massive respect to the climber trying to climb Mt Everest wearing a button-up shirt.
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!
If Lincoln hall had suffered his later misfortune this time up he wouldn’t be here today. Have to be thankful for that.
He sadly isn’t here today. Passed away in 2012 RIP
Amazing...real mountaineering and fascinating watching this. Never knew about this...thanks for posting the documentary
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.
Fantastic documentary. 👏 👏 incredible Sir
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.
great video! remember having it recorded on vhs when i was a kid back in 1984! loved watching it! cheers for the upload and memories
Lincoln has beginning stages of Mesothelioma. That's why his lungs are bad
@Bella.216 did Lincoln have mesothelioma or melanoma?
@@suecollins8199 he had mesothelioma!
Thank you so much for this video. It's one of the best ones out there.
Watching for 2nd time……it’s humbling❤ wonderful journey thank you❤
Awesome. I think they climbed Everest when the total climbers were in double digits. 👏👏👏
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
Lincoln Hall 22 years later was left in the mountain to die and luckily survive the night, rescued later.......
He wasn't left at all. The 3 sherpas spent hours with him even after they thought he was dead. The sherpas wouldnt just leave anyone.
Incredible. These guys are more than brave. True explorers.
