Climbing Mount Everest at 22 Years Old
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- Ever since he was a child, Teodor Glomnes Johansen dreamed of reaching the top of the world’s highest mountain-Mount Everest. At 22 years old, he set out to achieve that dream and thereby become Norway’s youngest climber to summit the “roof of the world.” But an avalanche mid-climb derailed those plans. Not one to give up easily, Johansen is determined to give it another try. Armed with an even stronger resolution, and his best friend alongside him, the adventurer sets off to take on the peak once more.

Respect to all the Sherpas risking their lives to help climbers reach Mt. Everest.
@Aaron Snow not anymore... sherpas carry people who can't climb at all to the top and risk their lives.
@Aaron Snow You're both right. It is many inexperienced people trying to climb Everest because they have money.
@Aaron Snow lul, we aren't in the 90s anymore bra. Now it's a freacking vacation target, young adults (still in their teens) climb it, because they got the cash to hire the "vacation crews".... Maybe you should stop living under a rock or are your outburst because you've climbed it yourself and doesn't want the trip to be labeled EZ?
For money.
The Sherpas carry all their stuff, set up the tents. Cook their meal and help them stay alive.They are the unsung Heroes.
everyone is commenting on how beautiful this story is because it left out the part about the 20 people who died at that base camp including 5 Sherpas. There is a lack of appreciation for what is going on at Everest. Sherpas are taken advantage of by the expedition companies and Nepal government is turning a blind eye. These people work by carrying people's luggage up the mountain, guiding people who have a lot of money but often very little mountaineering experience. People take bloody fold up dining room tables and portable mattresses... on an expedition to the top of the world people take a ridiculous amount of luxurious that are carried on the backs of Sherpas. These days the line of people going up the mountain looks like the line at disney land. Sherpas, the village people who live there, have little to no means of work but as guides on Everest. People say that Sherpas get paid to do it and they do it because they get something out of it too. But the companies exploit the fact that they have no other means of work and employ them to take novices and professionals alike, and their luggage, up the mountain. One of the Sherpas that died in the avalanche was the youngest that year and it was his first time on the mountain. The year before in 2014 there was another avalanche that killed 16 Sherpas.
The guy in this video is truly inspiring and takes huge bravery and strength. But in reality they are being taken up there by Sherpas. The Sherpas carry everything from their luggage to their oxygen tanks. Really it is the Sherpas who climb Mount Everest and the hundred of people who flock there every year could not even dream to reach the summit without them.
far too little people know about this
Pacific Coast actually think a lot of people know this, they just do it anyways. Anyone who climbs mt Everest knows the position they put Sherpas in... they could choose not to but they still do. It’s a lack of compassion and humanity is what is really is
What you say is true about the Sherpas. The Sherpas are not forced to do this. After all what were they living on before all the trekking companies opened and hired them? Second, they can always go to the city and get work. No one is forcing the Sherpas to do this work. They are opportunistic just like everyone else who wants to make a buck.
"People take bloody fold up dining room tables and portable mattresses... " - It disgusts me that companies provide such service. I think it is ok to pay Sherpas for guidance and to a certain degree assistance, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with a company who has such extended, unnecessary means.
Can you provide a company who is kind of "fair-trade" to Sherpas?
think what those people would if there were NO climbers
Shoutout to the sherpa carrying all his luggage!
JakobAA And the Yak that carried it to base camp ⛺️
You ain't lying. They just did the easy part and claim the fame.
b «easy»
@@user-bg4be8uv9q one time please go to everest and find out what's easy bout it okkk!
@Subham Kharel To my fellow Nepalese brother, I just want to say wake the fuck up. Do you know how many Gorkhali brothers lost their lives on that day? You don’t! We are just wandering in our inflated egos. To other international brothers and sister, I encourage you to check the link below

Again, I am not against climbers who are capable and want to climb the highest mountain in the earth. We gotta understand the negative consequences of inexperience and 2 sec fame climbers could bring. Peace!
DEEPEST RESPECT GOES TO THE SHERPAS. THE ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS HOW AMAZING THIS TRIBE IS!!! MUCH LOVE FROM CANADA!!
Thanks
24:00 Thats particular avalanche Took 22 people's life . Japanese,australian,chinese,American and nepali #Rip April 2015 we will never forget
Frightening fr
one hell of an experience for this guy, literally got to witness the historical 2015 nepal earthquake that killed nearly 9k people. Really an amazing documentary and your compassion regarding it. Visit Nepal 2020
"Everest isn't just a Mountain, Its a childhood dream."
I really hope you achieve your dream.
Best of luck.
yes bro
Such a cliche ! Mommy mommy ! I want to climb EVEREST !!!
@@kosovir childhood dream which turn into cliche 😂
@@dibh8173 and one big pile of shit ! Try watching Fuji documentary, it's absolutely disgusting ! I'm never going there ! Fuck that !
Kashyap Pandit Dream! You mean suicide right .. I have no pity for any of you that choose to climb Everest and don’t make it back. Stupid choices you make you get stupid results.
Sherpas are the real heroes of Mt Everest.
Gucci Potter yes he is
@Gucci Potter Yes, I am.
@Gucci Potter yes he is I know him
Sherpas are the rockstars
@@sebbia9701 Also the Yak and porters. What the tourist do is nothing. Because they don't carry their own stuff.
My late climbing buddy once told me, "The goal of climbing a montain wasn't it's peak, but to come back home"
lets pray for the people who don't survive. They aren't gone, they just climbing higher to The Heaven.
Aww I like the last line you said
What exactly is an Everest expedition like? If you go to base camp do you have to join others to the summit or can you decide to end your journey there?
@@tobyfinney768 you can end your journey at base camp
Nobody can climb Mount Everest these days and honestly say they did it on their own. Sherpas do all the work.
You climb with a sherpa and say you done “no work”. Laughs mate.
Tell that to people like Jornet, Urubko, Steck, Moro and many more.
You are dumb as fuck or suicidal if you try everest yourself, why not get help from experienced people?
Lol i wanna see you climb that shit
And now, a freaking film. As everyone else says, an underrated channel.
Massive respect to the true heroes of the Himalayas, the legendary Sherpa people. If it wasn’t for them, none of these huge peaks would be climbed.
Money you ass fuck
If this guy ever tries again. Please film it. I want to see this guy make it to the top?
Me too!
Scarce is gay fucking looool. I love seeing h3h3 memesters in random comment sections
papa bless
Only if he doesn't die trying.. he may unintentionally film his own death. Many people died in that avalanche, he got lucky.
borb it would be a 2 month film lol
I have seen many people confusing sherpas to mountain climbers. They are actually a ethnic group in Nepal. They lived in the Himalayan Region of Nepal so it made sense for them to take up mountain climbing as their job. And the skill of mountain climbing have been passed from generations to generations. So Sherpa is a last name not a adjective.
I am from Nepal 😊
After hearing about so many deaths this year on Everest, I’m glad he made it home safely. He’s young, he’ll do it!
What a lot of people missed is this video isn't about achieving the dream of reaching the top of Mount Everest, it's about what having that dream is like in the reality of a real life story. That not everyone can achieve their dreams, sometimes that dream is just a "selfish childhood" ambition.
This was a beautiful video. Thank you for uploading this
Cindy T t
Hats off to the sherpas. I’m glad I watched this short film. Honestly inspiring. I felt so emotional and heart broken. I really hope he would achieve his dream one day. Kudos to his friend ( a brother from another mother! ). Life after achieving our dream is just unimaginable! ❤️
The language they are speaking is Norwegian if someone wondered.

You guys deserve way more viewers, the content you put out is insane!
I agree
I don't think many people know this but GBS is actually owned by CNN
@@saviyou what's the big deal?!
Yea that's what i'm saying, i just recently came across this video and watched it thinking like why isn't this hit a 1 mill views but yet paul brothers get 16 mill views lol don't make sense but i loved it!
dude you were at everest during the Nepal Earthquake. Gives me chills.
I am from Nepal ,wow you escaped the avalanche
i think the avalanche was of nepal earthquake 2015

I am now 15. My whole life dream is to climb the Everest when I saw it at a dream from the next day onwards I told everyone my dream but the try to demotivate me instead and said that it was impossible when I watch this video it give me motivation that I can do it.Thanks so much.. now I am hunting that dream again and maybe one day I'll do it
Its just strange to see a Dog at Everest Base Camp.
that dog has climbed everest countless times.
Yeah I guess so.
Kashyap Pandit k
the dog is tougher 10x compared to people
Dog was on moon so...
I'm at minute 26:56 right now. I stil don't know if you made it or not. What I do know is that you are awesome! As hard as it is on your body all these situations, you still have it in you to think about the others, the injured ones. I don't know what happened, I don't know if it was an avalanche or a snow storm.
I find it amazing that that doggie and those donkyes are able to survive at such a high altitude. Animals are amazing, they are the best thing this world has to offer.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! On your expedition young man.
GOD bless you always and in all ways❣🙏
(Edited for spelling corrections)
That was the deadliest avalanche in the history of Mount Everest. Simply terrifying. Such an unluck streak but also such a blessing that he survived both of the deadliest avalanches ever in the mountain (2014 and 2015). At least 22 people lost their lives on that avalanche. It was triggered by an earthquake that killed another 9,000 people around the country. Truly a sad day...
Thank you so much GBS, for the quality work and passion you clearly put into these videos and films. I really feel you guys get to the heart of the story and show the heart of people. I often see comments and complaints from people that the videos are too short or there's not enough information, but we don't need thirty minute long detailed episodes to see the heart in something. Even the silly videos can share a feeling, and for that, and all the sadder and sweeter ones, I thank you.
21:34 wiping coke outta the nose - incredible movie, insane cinematography. props to everybody involved!
what an incredible journey
Would you climb mt everest if you had the chance
its journey burnderned on the back of serpas
I know right
@Gela A Very true I think K2 has a %25 chance of you dying compared to Everest's chance of %10 so Everest is a lot harder
@Gela A yeah i believe Annapurna has a %39 mortality rate so its much harder and more dangerous than mount Everest so your very right
Been there, felt that. It is not as easy at it looks. the headaches, heart beating at 120 per minute when resting is insane. I almost made it to the base camp. I will wait for the next season.
Best of luck 🙏 sending prayers
Did you make it this year? xxx
wow have u climbed everest too
27:37 that is the happiest thing i have ever heard awww that made me tear up a bit
Even though the climb is still dangerous, someday, I'm going to summit Mt. Everest and make it to the top! That was my dream since I was 6 years old and I'm 11 now.
Keep your dream alive
now, you’re 13. i hope you keep your dream alive and make it to the summit one day!
You can do it buddy!
Keep it in your head, man! I as well wish to summit Mt. Everest someday too.
Greatest Land Rover AD ever!
Your drive is truly inspiring. To be away from safety of your home, from family and friends to achieve something so mentally and physically daunting is truly admirable. Few of us dare to move away from the comfort of our home, even fewer dare to challenge ourselves to reach out dreams. In the end even the best climber needs support teams, so your effort and accomplishment is admirable on its own merit.
Ill finish my great big story binge here! Thanks for making the most of 3 hours guys
Amazing personal journey. The dedication to video tapping your journey is incredible considering the unpredictable risk that you were taking and experiencing with the climb and weather.Thrilling and scary.
A terrific video, don't mind the Norwegian language, the 'dreamer' is very expressive and the mountain snow and low lands are beautiful. I loved it.

Such a powerful story...
it shows that achieving your dreams is never easy. But it is worth the wait.
So perfectly picturized my dreams❤
Even I dream of Everest🇳🇵🇳🇵
Amazing story. Makes me realize just how small we are in a world that truly is so large. This was a story of perseverance, loss, triumph, and compassion. Thank you for sharing this with all of us, and allowing us to dream bigger.
I m glad that he survived the avalanche😢 may god provide him power to fulfill his dream
Many people have goals but never attempt them, but the people who do are inspirations,even if they fail. Respect to you
Dude an avalanche!!!! Looked like something in a movie!!!!!!! Im glad y’all are okay!!
The words "Kathmandu is in chaos" just gave me a strong flashback. Such a horror we went through. Glad you made it
This might be one of the best youtube movies i have ever seen. It was truly inspiring. I even got emotionel in the end :'D
Me too! Amazing video of an amazing young man! Thank you!
Great guy and great video. Thank you. You guys should also watch the videos of a guy called Paul Pottinger, who summited Everest the year after the earthquake in 2016. He also had to go home in 2015 because of the avalanche. He has written an incredible blog about his journey to the top. He's quite a bit older than this young Norwegian, so I was wanting to compare their stories. I'm sorry this guy couldn't make it. I look forward to reading his story when he does.
it made me cry after watching this .I'm more disappointed that he couldn't reach at the summit.hope fully he will reach one day.😍😍
Incredible video and what an inspiring story. 30 minutes and I felt all the rough decision that were made, the struggle and determination. Hope you reach the summit one day but watching your video it made me believe that you achieve something even higher. Congratz.
Such a wonderful story, it sucks that it happen that close to getting to the top but i'm glad your safe.. and thank you for not putting the ppl that were hurt or died in this film, big respect to you and your family!
I'm more impressed he had the money at 22
Gus Norwegians have the highest living standard in the world
Gus same
Honestly me too lol 😂
Did you miss the big Land Rover sign in the video? :D
Most of them usually get a sponsorship .
Sad that so many people got injured during this unfortunate accident but thankfully got medical aid and were flown back to safety.
Happy that you safely reached your family. Do post your video on You Tube ,if you decide to scale Mount Everest once again.
God Bless You !!!
20 people died on that incident.
The only way to do this at the age of 22 is if you have wealthy parents.
A1RTV sadly enough yes :(
and working hard every day of your life, money cant buy that
Yeah or good at getting sponsors to help you..
I see the title and the first thing I think about is, how much?
EX DUECE climbing mount everest is around 100k
I love the ease you can switch from Norwegian to English. Very impressive
This is how our parents used to go to school!
huh? Really
Kids: hiking mountains is so lovely
Everest: ah yes, come here son
You need to put meters next to feet in the translation!
Yea exactly, I was just wondering if in Norway they don't use meters...?? I thought the only country that uses the WRONG system in Europe is the UK and Ireland.. :P Definitely not gonna google what 11000ft is in meters. Space to evolve, guys ;) otherwise cool. In English would be even better!
Lucie Olsan norway do use meters! he always referred to the different heights in meters but they translated it to feet, most likely due to this being an american channel. i have the perk of being swedish and our languages are very similar so i fortunately understood what he said for the most part.
@@queenjeski591 the same with farenheit , i always have problem with it
Vedad Feet is annoying calculation method
agree strange I am pretty sure they use meters :) must been an american translated it or something
This is something indescribable...Watching this made me realize so many things..What an amazing view you have :-) Each storm holds something gold ...for you surely! A lot of people need this approach ...You cannot change the way the world looks until you change the way you see. Good luck and keep this up, you amazing human!!! :-)

GBS, Thank you for your highest quality fun to learn vids, I still remember when you guys only had about 500K. Keep up the great work! 👍🏼
Disappointed to see so many comments here about his parents probably being millionaires. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. You claiming they are without knowing it just makes it look like you would've done it too had your parents been rich. How many millionaires' kids summit Everest? Stop being so insecure about yourself and downplaying his achiement.
It’s really sad to see how it ended buddy, hope you get to fulfil your childhood dream very soon, wish you a good luck 🤙🏻

“You climb Everest if you got the money,You climb K2 If you got Balls”
That's what people with no money says.
This does not make sense but ok
that avalanche scene was insane
Ikr i can't imagine being smothered by snow
Everest base camp is on my bucket list now
Jagdish Dhaygude sams here. Don’t think I could make it to the top
It’s a very risky thing and an uncertain trip to the peak
23:48 I can't fathom how scary that would've been!
Shoutout to him for having the will and commitment to vlimb mt everest
Awesome vlogs,,One Day your dreams will come true...god bless u both...love from Nepal❤️🙏
I wached the movie with my son who is 7 years old. Thank you. You are a great inspiration. My son say to you: next time im comming with you❤❤❤ Julia and Maor from Israel
soo sad bro
many people lose their life ..more than 10000 people died in same day ...God bless theie family ..RIP
You are an idiot. Get yourself informed. Up till the middle of 2019 around 300 people have died trying to climb Everest in the over 60 years that they started.
24:12 "close the door" felt like a certain game of thrones moment:D
Love this video (or film shall I say). One of the best Mt Everest climbing videos. And the background music (or soundtrack) is just wonderful, beautiful, and yet powerful at the same time. I wish you best luck and success next time you are back to Everest!:-)
A nightmare at the end was something unexpected. Love the story and will to make this documentary was really heart touching and inspiring !!! love it.
Dang. Thought we were going to see them to the top of ?Everest ....I say selfishly while watching this in my recliner on my porch....
rip to all the peoples who died on earthquake..its such a devastating feeling ..great video..
I can just imagine how many people have died trying to climb this mountain....🙏🏾
Some Sherpa: oh get over yourself.. i climbed Everest when i was 7 when i lost my way by mistake
Feet, feet, feet, how much is a feet? Meters, meters, in 2019 we use meters!
not is the US
Not in freedom land!
3 and a half feet make up 1 meter

No we don’t
What amazing documentary on mount Everest have ever seen. The person who make a vedios of their adventure's moment to make inculcate in our minds to never give up.....
We need to spread the word. This channel is awesome.
maybe not the greatest ever but hell yah!+ this definitely has to be one among the best of Everest climbing documentary I've ever seen and nothing as much as this one got me real deep and inspired. dreams are unlimited and there's nothing wrong in it, infact its a way of living life to the fullest and the sence at the end almost teared me up. Hope you make it there soon someday. peace ✌
Climbing Everest with help of sherpas! Oh and the Himalayan people go up those mountains even younger than 22 my friend! But good job!
Why are you lecturing him from afar? lol I didn't see him deny anything about Sherpas. He seemed to be very respectful have a good friendship with them from the brief parts we see. I dont think you watched the video because the Sherpas didn't help him climb Everest since the avalanche hit and wiped out half the base camp.
@@JDela10 why you gotta be so emotional? Lol 😂
Love his dedication. Amazing introduction. My childhood dream has always been to climb mount everest. I am 14 years old now so theres still many years left until i can try to complete my dream.
Amazing story. The scenery is breathtaking. I sincerely hope he achieves his goal; if he indeed decides to try again.
ua-cam.com/video/uVZtBYh7zaU/v-deo.html
Great to know Landrover was there in that difficult moment....
After watching hbo's mount everest documentary, i truly believe no one actually climbs these mountains. They're actually guided up there by means of having all their luggage carried for them by sherpas, ladders and ropes all fixed for them, some even dragged up there, by sherpas. Essentially, if you have money, you can buy your way to the top.
Congrats man what an achievement!
RIP to those who lost their lives to the mountain
Shout out to his millionaire parents that funded his trip and the Sherpas that made it possible for them to summit.
seems like land rover did sponsore him
Hopefully he appreciates the privilege and fortune of being able to do such a thing
how do you know his a millionaire?
@@renatomanzini9354 It costs on average 50k dollars for a trip like that.
He didn’t summit
An incredible journey, thank you for sharing the video!
This video is exactly what people as me and as all the guys with our passion search on UA-cam! Thank you!
I could spent days watching videos (movies) like this. You deserve to reach your dream and please, film it for us!!!
"Scarred for life from my summer holiday trip" is a more apropriate title for many of these videos.
Good movie, i realy enjoyed it. Iam very amazed by the quality of the footage that you where able to record on such heights! It can easily hold up with documentation a la Nation Geographic!
But in the end, iam still wondering why he didnt continued climbing? Of course there was an earthquake but did he return himself or was he forced by the group leaders?
Raschuetzer the ladders over the ice fall were closed, so no climbers could progress up the mountain. The sherpas would have to repair them.
I'm sure the terrain is very different after the avalanche , ladders and ropes will have to be dug out from under the snow,
They closed Everest for the rest of the year. No one was allowed to go up!
I was born and bread here in Nepal. I did experience all of Nepal earthquake. It wasn't just a single quake that made everything stop. There were earthquakes for a few days and strong aftershocks for over an year.
Bro when I saw the date I realised what this was.
I completely forgot about the 2015 earthquake and seeing this made me remember not to forget it.
mount everest to impress your friends, k2 to impress mountaineers
yes but Annapurna is there impress yourself!
@@sujitmaharjan194 annapurna is a massif of 55km length. It has many different peaks. No real mountaineer would compare anapurna to the legendary k2. You've watched to much youtube
Amazing story. Good luck and hopefully no storms on his next attempt!
Not sure how I ended up here but this was a great watch
you will surely complete your dream for sure
Being rich must be so nice. I honestly can’t even imagine.
Great video and thanks for sharing. Thanks to the Sherpas for guiding the way. Wish I had the courage to take up such a feat.
You will reach the summit one day, no matter how old you will be.
