The best Mount Everest Ice Fall video footage you will see. Shot with a GoPro helmet-mounted camera in the perspective of the climber. Powerful video images of the extraordinary Khumbu Glacier as it breaks up descending from the Western Cwm to Base camp. Voted top 10 at Killarney 2011 Adventure Film Festival. For more photos & videos of Everest and other high-altitude mountains that I have climbed visit: www.DareToReach.ca.
I saw a few ladders, I think I'll wait until they install an escalator and observation deck complete with oxygen and one those quarter driven binocular thingies.
Dave L Mt. Everest is 20,000 feet high. That's the maximum ceiling of a 747 jet.
Better not run out of air up there!
Dave L yeah i am with you. we need the saudis to buy mt everest, and installing a superluxurious skyscraper up there, with all your aforementioned accomodations and, yes, a direct base camp to summit elevator is a must have.
sweetcostarica Mt. Everest is 28,000 ft high. The average cruising altitude for a 747 is 35,000 ft.
Bob Weird Wow, thank you. I was off quite a bit.
sweetcostarica put another 9000ft to the 20
My legs got shaky just watching this. I have a horrible fear of heights (the thought of going on a roller coaster freaks me out) and yet, I cannot stop watching videos and documentaries about Everest.
Thank you for your honest comment. I rarely respond to comments anymore but yours is unique since it connects fear to fascination and desire. It is a beautiful mix since down deep you want to push that limit and break that boundary. One step at a time and a growth mindset will get you there. Good luck.
+Theodore Fairhurst liked!
+ᏰᏗşιℓ Same here. Glued to it.
+Theodore Fairhurst great bit of inspirational advice. Thanks for that!
@0:09 it was nice to meet you guys but this is it for me, fuck that!!
Can we just give props to the Sherpas who go out multiple times a year to set up ropes, ladders and pathways for climbers. They are under appreciated for how much work they do to make sure climbers are as safe as possible
No we don’t want to
Just think that the expeditions in 1921, 1922, and 1924, didn't have ladders and placed ropes. They just had huge balls.
Fitz Chris ya
But they all died in those y are and no one reached the summit .
+Salvo Smith So? Each failed expedition laid ropes, tested routes and generally helped the next one. If it wasn’t for the early guys nobody would’ve got up.
Bob Clover I didn't follow their ways
No one knows if they reached the summit or not.
Great!!! but please without music for people to feel the natural sound of steps, cracking, ice falling and jingling sounds of climbing equipment in your body.
Try this:
(a) Mute sound on this video.
(b) Open this ua-cam.com/video/5oK2L_zzm7M/v-deo.html
in another tab and play.
(c) You're welcome :)

@@HonestJunkie Haha, yeah,
What are the music tracks used in this video
the music is too much...
I not sure what is more terrifying - scaling the side of an ice wall or walking across a ladder over a crevice. Thank you for sharing a bird's eye view of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I lost my dad 1.5 year ago. He always wanted to climb Mt. Everest. Maybe someday I will do it for him.
+Blair Group Should be easy enough for a young guy as long as you have $70,000 these days. Unless you go a route that isn't part of the human treadmill.
We must become nature, It is not a ego trip. It is for nature
Thank you for you're opinion.
+Axel Axl buddy you are always welcome to our country and do it. Best of luck :)
If you do I will support you!!!
Hats off to the climbers. I've been to the base camp of Everest myself (7 years ago) and even today I can recall the surge of awe and bewilderment I felt staring at the Khumbu Icefall. Legendary place....
Dude, the fact that there could be so many potential crevasses, right in the floor they are walking just FREAKS ME OUT!
Unbelievable. Shows just how hard it is in modern times. I cannot imagine George Mallory and Irving doing this in 1924. Wearing much larger tanks, with hemp ropes, wood + rope ladders, and wool jackets!
agreed
Everest has many different routes not all lead to cracks and crevices as shown in the video
Kathryn Davidson George Mallory and Irving? what about tenzig and Edmund hillary
but all climbers must pass through this khumbu icefall no matter which route they take.
No, only from the South side .But the other routes are even more difficult,There are 3 routes you can use to summit and the most popular is the South side.
This would be an incredible advertisement for whoever makes those ladders.
They could use those ladders to get over Trumps wall.....
😂

wel said, :)
I have been aware of the amazing skill of the Ice Fall Doctors who set up the fixed lines and ladders to get climbers across the Khumbu Icefall, but the perspective of this video really solidified my resect and admiration for them. I've seen time-lapsed video showing how much movement the icefall undergoes each day as the sun warms the surface, and it is freaking terrifying! The Sherpas who work on Everest (and the other massive peaks in the region) are an incredible people, and no one would ever summit without their skills.
The amount of bravery necessary to climb these icy mountains is just beyond my comprehension. Every once in a while, while watching movies or documentaries, I feel like I'd love to do something like this, but then I remember I hate putting my life in fate's seemingly careless hands, and I leave the dream for these people.
man, i have to say anyone climbing Everest, you guys are a different breed of people, this takes challenging to a whole new level.
huge respect for people who climb Everest. first time seeing something so unworldly. great music selection too!
I've never seen Ice Fall from a gopro before. Amazing! Thanks for sharing and glad you made it safe!
Many thanks for this.
We now know what is is really like.
Absolute respect.
Agreed
+Edogawa1117 If I had been on the top of everest I would probably be mad at your comment... I don't think this video can make us "know what it is really like", we will probably have to do it ourself to know that...

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU GUYS! I am currently fascinated with this mountain and climbers..I really appreciate the effort to bring this to the world. it is indeed the best footage!! so dope!!!
What a beautifully shot video, You are a lucky man being able to witness such a marvelous place as Everest and the Khumba ice fall is magnificent
There is zero part of me that thinks: yeah that looks like a Good time
Thank you. Planning is difficult to say because one prepares physically and mentally for years on other mountains. In my case the final decision to tackle Everest came about 8 months before departing. The whole Everest climb took 65 days. However, the final 'Summit Bid' from Everest Base Camp (17,500 feet) return took 7 days. That was after climbing up and down the mtn several times to acclimatize. More info on my site: DareToReach.ca. All the best.
Thats the easiest route? Jeez, Thats insane. The human spirit is amazing!! I could never do it.
Yes you could. Well I mean unless you have a condition, but if nothing like that is holding you back then dont let you own self doubt do it. I would love to climb Everest but I can't do to being epileptic. I'd make it to the death zone and start seizing
DeshiRyze I have epilepsy too, we’re not epileptic I hate being called that. When people in my ear shotsay Danielle is epileptic I say you arean uneducated referring to epilepsy sufferers as epileptics.
@@danielledewitt1 How should we call people with epilepsy then?
@@ivorunac Call us epilepsy sufferers.
@@danielledewitt1 whats wrong with epileptic?
Thank you for your comment. The climbing route between Base Camp and Camp 1 is called the 'Ice Fall' because the Khumbu Glacier drops steeply from the Westerm Cym down to the Khumbu Valley. Because the terrain is steep and it moves appproximately 3 feet a day as it breaks up into huge ice spirals and blocks and of course opens up into crevasses, it is called the 'Ice Fall'.
This is truly incredible. I've seen heaps of Everest footage but nothing like this from the Icefall. Have been to base camp a couple of times and flirted with the idea of going higher; I think this has cured me of those thoughts!!
This was by far the greatest video I’ve ever seen of Everest’s icefall! Thank you so much for sharing!
none of those men would be there if it wasn't for the Sherpas.
+Bobby Patton Yes they would. People frequently summit alone, it's called alpine style.
@@nameunknown5649 what about the escalators? Who construct it there? Sherpas have the conditions to leave there. We no.
None of these maybe, but men like Reinhold Messner have been there alone many times!
Sherpas only for tourism who claimed themselves as a mountain climber
RIGHT ON! MY thoughts exactly
Nice work, thanks for sharing! What a frightening and beautiful place!
I’d be turning back at the first ladder across the crevice
Yup, only thing I would try would be the trek to the glacier, nothing wring with that.
this is one of the most amazing (and terrifying) videos i have ever seen. thank you for sharing such an amazing perspective of this experience with those of us who will never be able to experience for ourselves.
Imagine now the first guys who had to set all those ropes and ladders... HOW DID THEY DO OMG
***** Well then his question is still fine, you just imagine someone with brown skin doing it.
***** Are sherpas like expert monk-like mountaineers or something? Excuse my ignorance
Riley B what a brilliant reply!
***** Worry not Logan, it looks like he was cussing Dermot out, not you.
b9y You said: "29,000 feet, and nope, a 747 can fly higher."
Thanks b9y, but I think Bob Weird beat you to it a while back (please read the earlier comments).
Climbing Mt. Everest is an incredible feat, but you just have to marvel at the first climbers like Hillary and Norgay for doing it without all of the equipment set up and such.
actually the first were Mallory and Irvine 30 years earler in 1924, they just didn't live to brag about it, but they were last seen by a telescope at 800feet from the summit in 1924, that's really amazing, Mallory's body was discovered in 1999 and Irvine's in 1975. its still a mystery as to weather or not they actually summited but I think that if they made it to 800ft befor the summit then no matter what they were the first, their are some neat videos on here about the discovery of mallorys body, you actually see it! and their camp. they had no pre fixed ropes and no ladders and it was reported that they were last seen at 800ft from the summit right when a storm hit them and they disappeared for 75 years, the evidence shows they had fallen :( Mallory was found still on his stomach and still grappling and griping onto the side of the mountain as if he were still falling, its pretty sad :(
Corinna Marie
Mallory's body was discovered as you said in 1999, Sandy Irvine along with his camera and perhaps proof of their summit to date have never been found.
in 1975 chinas first expedition group found a English man( nearly 100 feet above mallorys body) and they reported that he was wearing circa 1920's gear and they brought back with them his climbing pick axe and it was also circa 1920's, granted their was no name on him to say for sure its him, but their were only 2 men who went up that early, its a pretty good assumption that its Irvine, and the camera would have been on either man, in fact they found Mallory by accdent, they were supposed to re-find Irvine's body based on where the Chinese said it was in hopes to find the camera and boom! they found Mallory instead, (and the man the Chinese found was a blond man,mallory had dark brown hair) wouldent you agree its most likely Irvine, weather and slides on the mountain must have replace Irvine's body somewhere else, I hope they try to find him and the camera again :) but in the end your right hes has not been found by anyone who can for sure say its him, I guess I just like to believe it was him they spoted.... check out "lost on Everest-the search for Mallory & Irvine" its pretty good
@@ItsNotKnit I don’t think it counts unless you make it back down safely. The descent is often the most dangerous part
I just watched a documentary about a woman who attempted Everest after little more preparation than hiking a few trails and posing for pictures in a climbing suit. She,of course, died near the top. I watch this video and just can’t begin to imagine how someone who really hasn’t trained thinks they can get up there. It’s mind blowing.
Whats the name of the girl?
@@jane29jeng I think shes talking about Shriya Shah-Klorfine,a Nepali-Canadian woman who died on her descent from the summit.
It's also mind blowing that some expedition companies advertise "no experience necessary" in climbing Everest. It's a suicide mission for inexperienced climbers. Even very experienced climbers have died on the Mountain. Should be illegal to advertise this way.
I value my life far too much to ever do something like this.
agreed
Perhaps it would be more exhilarating to die doing what you love, pushing your own limits, than it would be to die crippled and unable to move from old age. Just offering a different perspective - as we are all going to meet the same fate anyway. "Go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is."
+Ashley Indigo Those who have made Jesus Lord of their life will have a much different "fate" than those who have not.
what about you?
Not hating that you don't want to climb a mountain, but do you realize there are over 4,000 religions being practiced at this very moment? Yours is right, though. No worries. Sorry, Dan. Jesus lovers and heathens alike will all become worm food somewhere...maybe not on a mountain, but you get the idea.
Totally understandable. But these people didn't just stand up and go hey let's climb Everest and went the next day.
But yeah however way you put it, it remains a bit like Russian roulette, only better.
Upmost respect for these climbers, and of course not forgetting the amazing sherpas. I'm absolutely obsessed with this mountain!!!!
Mountaineering is a terrific journey. I salute all who have climbed Mount Everest
I can't explain my feelings after watching this !! 😶 kuudos to all sherpas !!!
I salute to those who first put cables, ladders in mount everest. They get to it with their own
Best ice fall video ever! Could we get a gopro on the Sherpas who find , mark and assemble the hardware on this trail? Great job, thank you.
Awesome awesome video. Love it. total respect !!!!!
watched the video several times Mr. Theodore.!! excellent...this video just made my day!! did you go for the summit?? btw...whts the music name? perfect for ur video!!
where is the ICE FALL part?
This particular part of the expedition is called Khumbu Icefall. He may have titled the video in a way to get more views.
That is the icefall on everest
Scandinavian but dont know ice terms. interesting.
+Sjuksköterska watch the vid. go to 2:11 there is a frozen body from someone who fell. pretty intense stuff
+Sjuksköterska Just after camp base
Thanks for sharing Theodore - awesome footage, and much kudos for doing this, I would love to try one day but that scared me rigid! Enjoyed your website also - great stuff!
Thanks so much. More stories at: DareToReach.ca
Extremely interesting. Always wanted to know how the hooks/ropes/harness anchors are all so stable and secured well enough to support x amount of lbs.
Beyond the incredible. Thank you for posting this.
That is one of the scariest things I have ever seen! The music made it scarier 😱😱😱😱😱
65 days total trip. After acclimatizing and progressively climbing the mountain higher and higher each time. the summit bid took 5 days to summit from Base Camp and 2 days descent. Thanks.
The ladders are only in the Ice Fall ( Base Camp and Camp 1) on Everest. They really facilitate the time it takes to get up or down, which normally is 5-8 hours. Without ladders, climbing over and through the crevasses would increase the climbing time considerably. The ladders are constantly being crushed and lost as the Khumbu Ice fall shifts and descends, and they get replaced. I'm sure no ladders survive the year.
It's very hard finding good hd video of Everest, and this is a good one :D
Thank you to whoever hauled all the batteries it must have taken to go pro this experience. 👍 We hear time and time again how harrowing it is & I've traversed glaciers with no Trail laid out before us so I've never doubted the Danger but I have only seen footage of one maybe two 'stressful' (LOL) situations shown. Far broader picture here what climbers face and explains better the ordeal. Helmet cam brilliant, tells so much and unlike any other perspective. Great sound effects BTW, the sound of helmet thawk! on ladder really worked for me. 😌😧🤮
Amazing video and awesome music!
It is easy to see how folks just disappear after an avalanche.
:0
Theodore could you tell how the GoPro was doing on Everest? Did you use it on the summit as well? How long the battery last in this temperature? Absolute respect to you.
+Marta Dobrowolska Hi Marta. At the summit it froze up trying to take a video. I think stills would have worked. At the south summit and below it worked taking stills. However it was the first generation (2010)of GoPro nor did I have the larger new back-pack battery for it. Probably video is touch and go at the summit at -30+ below. Good luck.
great video, great music
I just came from another video that said you go up the icefall to the next camp, then climb down again to acclimate, then you climb to the next camp, slowly progressing to the top?
I can barley watch it on camera let alone ascending and descending this twice.
Hats of to you!
EVERYONE *crosses shoddy ladder, but me, last in line*
*ladder falls in crevice-*
“Whelp, looks like YOUU havta wait for us till we come back!”
💀💀
haha your funny
Unbelievable that's just the start... Blessings and Love to Nepal.💖
I just watched the movie Everest on the IMAX. I cannot imagine, trying this. How long does it take to hike from base camp to summit?
+Aniba Maat Het-Heru Weeks i guess
+Aniba Maat Het-Heru I have watched this week and I´d love it, despite the negative reviews.
It took the youngest kid to climb Everest 3 weeks
+Aniba Maat Het-Heru Its not just hiking :/
+Aniba Maat Het-Heru Took me a couple of hours, with a half hour break for a smoke.
this by far is the only video about everest that i felt like i was there. i kinda felt the fear through the screen, except you guys really did it. ive got to respect the want to do it, because i dont think money is just not enough, without passion for doing shit like this. i just simply wouldnt do it and risk my life.
Holy crap. Good going bro you guys are the one who have lived the life we are just breathing in and out.
Thank you for your kind comments. The Lhotse bergschund and face are also difficult especially in bad (windy) weather. Above camp 4 there are steep and somewhat technical rock faces. The Hillary Step is significant because of the altitude, however at that point most climbers manage it. It is a 10m rock face just below the summit. Experience and passion are the tools to achieve your goals. Good luck. DareToReach.ca.
Thank you so much for the video. Just a thought, I didn't like having music in it, I think the sound from the mountain alone would have been more powerful, IMO.
Cheers and long life to you
Yeah, that music was intrusive and hyperbolic. I watched with the sound down.
goPro audio is often crappy, that must be why.
1:36: So scary that I had to look at my computer to remember I'm at home and not there...
Really good short movie.
coward
@@hamirzaafif6697 You do it then
This is awesome - you're right, it's the best footage I've seen of the Ice Fall. Thanks for posting.
This is Amazing. Huge respect and honor to you also for sharing this video. I might have learned and will learn many things from. Exhilarating View!
Go Pro takes good pictures! The music is great, too--goes very well with the subject.
2:10 Dead body or something down there?
looks like

+Amir Bomjan you were there really ?
You sound like a three year old in your videos so I call bullshit on that.
@Amir Bomjan
Yes, on summit day. Almost lost 1 finger. Slowly came back.
Khumbu Icefall; the most dangerous section of the Mt Everest climb. Great footage, thanks.
best video of the icefall i'v seen so far, thank you.
Man, that is some precarious looking shit. They say Everest isn't "technical." Looks plenty technical to me with all those lines, ladders and scrambling from one insanely unstable looking chunk of snow to the next above those death slots.
Imagine how technical other 8k mountains, like K2 and Annapurna are if this is not considered technical 🥴
Who else watched Everest?
Mountaineers should be famous not the Kardashians who do absolutely nothing this awesome but are loved by society smh
Alex R most of these climbers have no idea how to climb mountains, as long as you can afford it they will guide you to the top
Kim K has been climbed more than any mountain.
The Kardashians should climb Everest.
@@GregorBautista Right anyone could climb a 8800m snow mountain. So i'll give you 50k, you go climb it next May. If you came down alive you can keep the money. Sounds fair?
Chen Mo you must be stupid, it cost 50k just to climb it so how am i gonna keep the rest of the money? And i was referring to how many tourists with no experience go to mt everest just for the thrill of it, it became a business but I dont blame the country, they need the money.
great filming, gives the best experience from my sofa. I was on the edge of my seat.
Such powerful imagery of naturally occurring ladders... incredible how this is where we get the inspiration from for our own...
Amazing, beautiful, exciting, just imagening a constant rush of chills through the whole boby near, facing straight to the fickle death there, looking to its eyes...literally...God, just insignificanf, useful! ladders over that awesome rough white infinite mantle...amazing, exciting, teasing, challenging for the one's spirit and will. Thank you very much for this video.
What's the song you used for this video?
A climber had fallen into the crevasse. She had already been evaculated and only her backpack was still there. Cheers.
Great movie...nice to see people enduring the mountain with the expectation of disaster...sometimes you need a break from all the freezing and falling
Crazy!!! I have been near several glaciers in Alaska and enjoyed the sounds they make...Thunder, cracking. groaning. Do you hear any of that in the Ice Fall???
Jesus God! And how long, exactly, do you need to climb through the perils of the icefall before you even reach the Western Cwm? My hat is off to anyone who makes it past the Khumbu Icefall, let alone to the summit of Everest. Bravo.
Amazing footage! I often wondered what it was like to climb Everst.
Thanks for the music mention :o)
Imagine how scary it is knowing that if you aren't careful, you can fall down a crevase, if you aren't careful, you can get wiped out by a avalanche, if you don't have warm enough clothing, you may freeze to death.
Thank you.....Great video.....trekking next May to BC.....can’t wait.....
And to think that “this” is the easiest part! Getting down must be just crazy! Love it!!
who put the ladders and ropes in place? how long have they been in place??
Sherpas do
Sherpas put them in every year
Daniel Martin some of the experienced Sherpas do that each year. they are called the ice doctors.
Thanks Yvette, with pleasure you can use the video for your college class assignment. I am honoured. The Ice Fall is perilous and vaste as you say. I experienced an avalanche very close and the route up through it was different every everytime. More pics, video of Everest and Ice Fall at my site: DareToReach.ca
THE HEROES are the Sherpas, PERIOD. Everybody else just sight-see-ers & customers
Man o man, if it wasn't for that ice-fall, I would love to climb Everest! The thought of falling into a crevasse scares the b-jesus out of me...I could never cross the ladders....lol. Kudos to anyone who does this!! Great video!!
I'm so scared of hights. But I enjoyed the Great Adventure U took me on. So many risk their lives to Reach the Top of Mount Everest.
Its amazing a 14yr old did this!!
( the worlds youngest person above 29000ft was 14)
You need guts to do this. Scared the hell out of me. I wanna go there too but I don't have the guts to do it
Me too

remember the cats who set this gear in place, and THE CAMERA MEN!!!
I Love Mountain Climbing, I from Bali Indonesia and Mount Everest is My Dream :)
Amazing Video Mr Theodore, it's really great!
thanks for sharing this portion of the climb with us.
They should build a cable car ride up to the peak of the mountain.
Hell no
Hahahaha. NOPE. You guys have fun, I'll stick to hiking.
haha
The ones who are climbing be safe.God is with you
I love it. Thanks for this. Just wanted to say this, since so many comments are complaining about minutia.
This is the first time I have seen how they get down the mountain. I have been wondering. Really cool.
Wow! The Sherpas who placed those ladders really performed an amazing feat, so that the tourists could pretend to be climbers. Well done.
I like it
RobynHarris stfu I bet u can't do it
so saad !!!!
@@shishpallimba doesn't make these people any less brave, just because Sherpas are on some other scale of brave.
