Thanks to my sponsors for helping make these expeditions possible: Rab, SunGod and The Johnston Quarry Group.
Thanks
Endless thanks goes to Himalayan Guides Nepal for their logistics and support. Same goes for Maddison Mountaineering who I used for Everest, Lhotse and K2. Big love goes to Lhakpa Whongchu Sherpa who stands by my side on all of these big expeditions and to Becks for trusting in me to guide her on this mountain. - Спорт
Man's just climbed the hardest 8000er, and made it seem like a weekend trip instead of the menacing peak it is. Respect for you man, this is one of my biggest goals in life.
Thank you 🙏
They had perfect weather. K2 doesn't usually oblige like that.
People say that Annapurna is the hardest one
Jon, thank you for this and other videos (notably yours on the Lhotse climb). Best wishes and thanks again from an old worn out geologist.
@@michaelmcdonald8877 You're welcome Michael!
It's really crazy to think how the first climbers of all these gigantic peaks make it to the top without the safety lines, routes or hand ladders to assist them. It's simply mind-blowing.
Yeah I agree! Those guys/girls were something else! 💪
I was thinking the same thing of those early climbers.
Even some of the disasters. Wilco in 08. Snow blinded and descended from summit to camp 4 without ropes
@@austinsteiner5822 Eventually spending 60 hours in the death zone!
indeed, i was thinking the same. those must have been superhumans
Most difficult summit in the world and this guys just vlogged it for us... UNREAL MAN!!!
You’re welcome :)
@@JonGuptamay I know, how can u said the weather was hot, while it's literally snowy there?
@@Bringmedejuice when the sun hits the snow and reflects back at you it will feel very hot. Especially when there is not wind to cool you down. It's called Solar Radiation.
Dude is climbing up a mountain with a selfie cam and using one arm. He is a beast!
@@GR-bn3xj Yeah, but...ua-cam.com/video/ocW6mxEmXgw/v-deo.html
To be at the Summit with light wind and no clouds is a lucky experience. Come back 4 hours later and wind speeds can be 50-100mph.
This is the most calm, most realistic, least fear mongering K2 expedition video on the internet
Stunning accomplishment Sir!
Thanks very much - this is exactly what I was hoping to create 🙏
@@JonGupta
Hahahaha I know right?

My god, you had the best weather to summit this killer mountain. You made it look easy, but I have seen other videos that had the worst weather EVER . Some summited regardless, although nearly didn’t. Others had to turn back or die.
Well done and thank you so much. I never get the chance to stand at Base camp K2, so being able to see through your eyes. Awesome
Easily the best self-documented K2 video I have seen. No "over the top" drama, beautiful shots, updates on positioning given throughout, and no loud music ruining some of ambience of climbing! Awesome job and congrats on the summit!
Cheers Adam, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Perfectly summarised mr condon
@@brandonsavitski quite possibly the cringeiest comment I’ve came across today…you little beg 🤮
@nightmareneighbour7700 You think I care what you think? I don't! Don't hate the playa; Hate the game!
What really frightens me is how the people in the 50s did it without all the tech that we possess today. No fixed lines, no known routes, worse accessibility. Just mind blowing. Great video and well done!!
The first expedition even took place in like 1922 could you EVEN imagine. they didn't even use oxygen and had steel and wood "picks" like CRAZY
@@Layal615 Just like the first group that attempted everest in like 1920 which might have actually summited but nobody knows crazy how they did it
I thought the same thing. It's scary thinking about climbing now but THEN it's just crazy to think how much more difficult and unsafe it was ..right on.
@@blueleafy7167 bro they are just really smart
You just climbed K2, you gave all of use the experience rate. You also achieved a huge milestone and made it look so simple, respect.
Thanks very much 🙏
Mountaineering is not a sport. It is an example of HUMAN SELFISHNESS that steps on the neck of its own brothers to climb a mountain and come down, and in the process fill the pure glaciers with all kinds of human garbage, from the most basic urine and feces to plastics, metal bottles, even the toxic batteries by the horde of self-centered, disloyal and hypocritical insensitive people who celebrate their selfies on top of the corpse of a human with whom they lived excitedly half an hour ago.
Appreciated the very high quality video and the simple no-nonsense presentation. Impressive how often you had the camera out/on while doing very tough climbing!
Thanks 🙏
exactly my thoughts
Me too …
Please explain how you did this! Thanks!
Jon Gupta I hope you get a ton of 🐱 in your lifetime Jon. You deserve it! You have balls the size of grapefruits my friend! Respect!
big congratulations on your two summits! By far one of the best K2 & Everest videos on UA-cam!
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the videos!
I can't even fathom the strength both physically and mentally it takes to do this, unreal
Thanks Andrew!
I've been going down the rabbit hole of K2 videos. Glad everyone made it up and down safe. This was such a calm perspective on a very dangerous mountain!
This is the best organized of many videos about K-2 and other 8,000m peaks. It shows stage-by-stage (camp-by-camp) with the intervening climbs, terrain, time, distance, and inclines included. Quite a feat to climb K-2, and keep presence of mind and cool to video the ascent as well. Calm and organized as you are, there's a ton of drama in all of it just getting as real a sense of what it is like, as is possible from watching a video!
Other than praise for your knowledge, skill and talent ... you guys are NUTS!! Planning for years maybe, training, months out of your life for the climb itself, to get to the top at considerable risk, only to want to get down as soon as possible because the place is "trying to kill you!" as it were. I'd rather take a couple of weeks off with a snorkel kit and go to a place dedicated to making you comfortable and healthy (aka "a resort hotel"). You guys should try it sometime! P.S. The only ice you find there is in your drinks!
Thanks for the comment Dave! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, I am occasionally found at the beach…I just don’t film it 🤣
@@JonGupta Jon what camera you have,,,,its a phone or?.....Top content,,,be safe!!!
@@JonGupta What beach?
Who ever laid down the ropes nerves of steel brave men
@@JonGupta awesome videos ,i've watched them many times. Great presentation Sir. Did she summit K2 and Everest with you? Totally cool
I feel so proud being a Pakistani that you guys come here and provide us the opportunity to serve you guys. This guy just climbed the 2nd highest peak in the world n made a vlog for us like he is doing sone weekend trips lol
Big respect for you man
Thank you 🙏
Pakis serve people all over the world. UK, USA, you name it. The word PAKI means to serve in the UK. Glad that you are proud to be a PAKI.
As a Pakistani, i feel same.
But the peak is not in Pakistan. It is Kashmir. Which is a part of India for centuries.
@@sriramravuri4102Indian😂.India is barely a century old and you are talking about centuries and the peak is in Gilgit Pakistan not Kashmir idiot
The view of the sunrise near the summit must've been absolutely breath taking in real life. what an experience
It was pretty special!!
28th of July 2021... This particular moment is just 3 days after The Killer Mountain claimed another climber. Mindblowing how K2 is so savage - on an average of every 4 climbers, 1 remains there forever (metaphorically).
Mr. Gupta, you have my utmost respect for conquering this monster and making it look like a piece of cake, while holding that camera in one hand and providing awesome commentary. I hope to be capable of having your state of mind when I eventually make my attempts on these summits.
This stat makes it seem more dangerous than it is. It doesn’t include all the people who attempted but did not summit.
You talking about Rick Allen? He must have been caught in the wind Jon mentioned at the beginning of the vid when he was looking at the summit.
The death rate actually dropped to around 13% in recent years. In 2022 there were 190 successful summits and only 1.6% of climbers died in the attempt. It is becoming commercialized the same way Everest is. Sherpas and Pakistanis, who in the past did not, are now more willing to be paid to carry foreign climbers equipment and supplies, while leading the climb. My guess is, in the coming years. We will see thousands of people successfully climb K2 just like Everest, with much much lower death rate.
This is one of the most amazing mountaineering videos I’ve found online, and I’ve searched everywhere. You filmed a lot, and I’m amazed how did you manage to keep your cool during those epic moments of climbing something like K2. I watched few of the videos where people literally panic before climbing through the Bottleneck. A magnificent achievement, congrats to you and all the people around you on this monumental expedition.
Yes I was waiting for him to get to the bottleneck and see if he could still pull off these shots but the man is a champ
the girl sucks btw
@@GR-bn3xj
I've probably watched 100 K2 docs over the last 5 years. This one is by far the most informative and relaxed. You seem like a wonderful climbing partner! Cheers, my friend.
There’s like ten on UA-cam so where are the others? Lol
@@colinandrew89 a lot of them have been taken down 😭. 100 was definitely an exaggeration, but there were way more docs on here before
I've searched and scoured the net for the best 8000er summit footage (K2 in particular), and this is the best footage and commentary
by far. What a blessing to be able to see this.
This has literally just blown my mind i cant believe how nice u made this seem absolutely unreal mate.
This is - by far - the most realistic video I've ever seen of the K2 climb. No over the top nonsense, no underestimating, just the true experience. Fantastic. Well done!
I kept searching for a POV video of what it's like to climb K2 and couldn't find for the longest time, but this is PERFECT! Thank you so much for making it available! Best of luck and waiting for your next ones! 👌
Congratulations to you and the team. It takes a special kind of person to do this. I know next to nothing about climbing but I can appreciate the mental and physical strength, as well as the hard work and planning, leading up to and throughout this. You should be very proud of yourself mate 👏🏻
Thanks Joseph! Yes, these things don’t happen over night and require huge amount of planning and preparation 👍
I just finished your videos of Everest and Makalu. This video is the best of all no question about it. Previous videos of K2 never show how technical and dangerous the climbing really is. The views are so good one would think there is a green screen behind you and everything is filmed in a studio. I am in awe of your climbing ability and most of all your positive spirit. I hope all aspiring high altitude climbers watch your videos and soak in the great views and hard work. Congratulations on your climbing successes. I wish you further success in climbing but most of all success in life. Cheers!
Big respect to you as an young black American from the south just started getting the history of Mount Everest and the story how brave of you to handle the mountain 300s deaths since 1920
💀💀
you’ve made it look so easy. hats off to you to keep so calm and positive on such a gruelling climb. thank you
Is unreal, really Incredible ! This team is so calm, professionaly, no dramas, no dragons, ghosts, Aliens etc. INCREDIBLE!
I've been binging on a lot of mountaineering videos lately and this is by far the BEST one I've seen. Thank you, very uplifting!
Such a professional you are Jon! Positive, not too much talking, and excellent video quality! You make it look so neat, systematic, and doable!
I'm so stoked the weather was so beautiful for your summit. And that you filmed it all in such high quality to share for the world to see!
Thank you 🙏
weather is a huge factor at an 8000m peak, and they were so lucky with having constant beautiful weather during the whole climb... amazing video by the way
@@istvangranicz5082 Obviously they got incredibly lucky with the weather, but still a very impressive climb. I certainly couldn't do it.
In my opinion Jon puts out the best alpine videos period. Always a positive attitude, he speaks with a team mentality, constantly points out landmarks, uses proper terminology describing the route. An absolute joy to watch!!
This deserves all of the accolades it has received thus far. Seeing you climb such a "savage" mountain with seemingly endless personal calmness and blue skies is such a breathtaking juxtaposition! Thank you for sharing your momentous achievement with the world. You have done your viewers a great service to be certain!
Thank you for the lovely comment, it’s much appreciated 🙏
When you’ve done the immense work to have the climbing experience Jon has, the research, the good logistics, being ready for the weather windows, the respect for the locals, the terrain and the mountains- you get to enjoy and appreciate and succeed on the way to the top. And come back down again safely which is as important 👏👏👏👏👏
Wow, thank you! Thats very kind of you.
Crazy how you have such a good attitude during the climb
My congrats to the summit! And my congrats to one of the best videos here about climbing and K2. No silly music, no sensations, very interesting comments throughout and a wonderful camera, so I am part of your adventure at home. It’s videos like this showing people the beauty of mountains and the joy of success.
Thank you very much for your comment 🙏
You did such a nice job of documenting this climb and giving the viewer a feel for what the terrain was like as you climbed that mountain. What a blessing to have had good weather!
This is the best k2/Everest doco on UA-cam. Congrats. You were blessed with amazing weather. Scenery - spectacular
By far the most impressive video of a k2 climb i've seen on youtube. Thanks for sharing and massive congrats on the climb! well done :))
Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed watching the video 👍
that was the best documentary about mounting climbing i have ever watched you really made us feel like we were on the mountain with you, and really gave us an idea of what climbing K2 is like , thank you, glad you got off the mountain safely
Thanks Christopher, appreciate your kind comment. I’m glad you enjoyed watching the video! 🙏
Jon, I'm pretty sure that this is the BEST ascent of K2 out there.
Your attention to every detail, along with showing us each landmark is unsurpassed ... AND you filmed as you climbed while narrating the entire film!! AMAZING!!!
Btw ... I was so happy that you didn't stop filming once you & your team summitted.
We need to see the descends as well.
Thank you for such a beautifully captured K2 climb.
❤❤❤❤❤
Quite simply one of the best videos I've ever seen about climbing K2. And I've seen a lot. Massive congratulations.
Thanks Robert 👍
Really brilliant travelogue, love the clarity of the footage. K2 fascinates me, so I am grateful for this recording! Please continue recording further adventures for us all.
Congratulations Brother.
Best summit video of K2 in the internet. Throughout the journey you never scared. K2 is a savage mountain but you make it quite fanatically.
Absolutely amazing! Such good quality video too. So clear you can see every crag. Really brings the experience to life for those of us stuck at sea level.
I climb and I cannot get over the depth of the blue color of the sky. Magnificent. Well done and congratulations!
Brother I have seen many videos , documentaries , insta reels videos from eliasaikaly to Sandro G.H but this is the best video and vlog of K2 From Base camp to summit brother huge efforts and thanx for making us to do the summit from our beds
You’re welcome Aditya! Thanks 🙏
Probablement la plus belle vidéo d'ascension du K2 que j'ai pu voir sur UA-cam, un grand merci à vous. Fantastique!
Beautiful, incredible video, the weather was perfect. You climbed K-2 at the right moment, many blessings for you and your team!!
Otherworldly, serene video of K2 climbing with an amazing FPV. You, Sir, are a monster! Thank you.
This is exactly the view of the entire walk/climb I have been wanting to see.....I hope you have even more footage you can upload. Just gorgeous! And congratulations!!!
Thanks Kathy! I’m glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thanks so much for the great video of this climb. Your team's organization looked to be fantastic. I realize you had unbelievably good weather, but still, your preparation looked to be excellent. Summiting and heading back down by 7:00am is great.
The most difficult peak in the world and that man just did it so smoothly so profesional ,imagine he was speaking to us at 7000-8000m till climbing.For sure best video of K2 i have ever seen.Thank you
Thanks very much, I’m glad you liked the video 👌
Not a climber, but I love watching these, give you folks alot respect, without you I couldn't climb it in my living room. LoL thanks mate, wish you all the best and stay blessed
So so cool! Always been fascinated by this mountain, and it was so wonderful to watch a climb of it while feeling the good spirits the whole time. Congrats!
This is the only video of K2 where I've really got a sense of the entire route, the whole video flows really well. Top effort!
I love to rewatch these. The footage is just top quality. I feel so engaged and relaxed watching this.
Thanks for the comment, I’m glad you enjoy watching the videos!
It must be such an awesome feeling to summit the holy grail of mountaineering!
K2 is the mountain of mountains and has the combination of truly magnificent beauty, high probability of treacherous weather conditions, terrifying and technically difficult slopes!
I don’t believe I have ever seen better weather conditions on this scary mountain, but you still had to climb to the top with all the dangers and risks. Congratulations on making it to the top and safely down!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I have say this is possibly the best video of K2 climbing I have seen, especially the exquisite photography and visuals of such a magical place on our planet.
hey Jon, thank you so much for making this epic summit movie. the filming and explaining everything is just awesome. thank you for the great great work and well done!
Thanks Jonathan, much appreciated!
I am 74 years old and in love with k2 since i was 20 ...I went in concordia in 1995 , just a few days after Allison Heargreaves drama , to see it ,but i'm not a climber , just a trekker .
I have seen many and many videos on k2 , but yours brought tears to my eyes .
Thanks a lot Yon
sorry for my English
Hi Gerard,
Thank you for your comment. I am really happy you enjoyed the video and it bought back some fond memories. I can only imagine how it must have been for you trekking in to Concordia in 1995, wow so cool! Shame the K2 season was over shadowed by such a sad loss.
All the very best, and thanks again for the comment.
❤️ Epic! You did an awesome job filming this from base to the summit. The clarity was amazing! I just cannot get over how deep dark blue the sky is. Not light blue but deep deep dark blue.
I could just kiss your whole face for sharing. You rock!!
Thanks Trish! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. The deep blue sky’s is often quite remarkable at high altitude 👍
Absolutely brilliant ….the whole route beautifully captured and well presented. This is easily the best video I have seen on K2 …absolutely superb…well done …for a successful effortless climb but also to have the energy to film the whole journey? Respect to you. Finally my appreciation to the guys who lay the ropes! We should try capturing that …would be wonderful to see!
I've read nearly all the books and watched most videos. Hands down this is the best K2 video. 1000 likes. I was emotional watching you summit. Thank you for sharing this epic.
Thank you Andrew - I really appreciate your comment! I’m delighted you enjoyed watching the video 👍
Can you recommend a good book?
Absolutely love your videos! Highest / most difficult mountains and you make them look easy! thank you for uploading
You are truly amazing Jon. Love your mindset, always positive even though the climb was really hard. Respect who climb this K2. !
Thanks Vladimir!
It’s just amazing. I’m so stunned. Thank you for this great quality content !
thx man for these videos. i will never climb mountains but i've always being curious of how such experiences could look like. i couldn't believe someone was going to vlog such a journey. Respect!
Love your energy and positivity!! Dreaming to be where you stood, congratulations!
That traverse under the Serac on the way back looked character-building! Respect.
Most realistic and calculated approach , well done ! No OTT dramas that install fear just reality as it should be.
Exactly what I was hoping to achieve - glad it came across this way! Thanks for the comment 🙏
Amazing! Thank you for sharing the views - something few will see with their own eyes. You made it look like climbing up the savage mountain is like an ordinary day hike! This is way more valuable than all the money in the world.
What an incredible video, summiting K2 with no wind.
This is so cool. Literally the best summit video on the internet. Well done Jon.
this was simply breathtaking. the fact you vlogged this is very appreciated! it made me so happy to see you take those final steps wow 🎉😊
Thank you 🙏 the final few meters were pretty emotional 🥹
Literally the best K2 video ive ever seen. thank you.
Even though I saw this in my recommendations at 3.30am when I was about to go to bed (why couldn't you do it earlier UA-cam?!) I couldn't resist to watch it. Man, absolutely stunning views and scenes in perfect weather 😍 But views on the summit day, I don't know what to say, my head would explode 🤯 What a visibility and perfectly scattered clouds below, just ideal to spice things up and not obscure the view too much! As a photographer I'd suffer more cause of the fact that I can't take pics every minute than from rarefied air and steepness 🙆♂😂 I can't even imagine the feeling of finally stepping on top of that monster and in such conditions, I think I'd cry like a baby, wouldn't believe I'm there. Well, congrats, this is something to cherish for the rest of your life and thanks for the wonderful video! 🍻
Simply the best expedition video i ever watch...amazing job, sir. Well done.
Absolutely the Best K2 Vid Ever , The only thing Unrealistic was How Easy You made it Seem ! Thank YOU For Taking Us Along ! Mad Respect !! Arizona
Mesmerizing and great job filming! Love the positivity and showing the entire route.
No non sense , no Cheap jokes and bantering in a tea house or showing ugly face all the time and quick random flicks all the time. Love how this video is straight to the point. You guys have shown what its actually like when climbing K2
This is one of the greatest videos, I've ever seen about k2. You have showed me thing in depth that I've only read about. The weather window seemed awesome. I see how hard it is, with good weather, O2 and a team. Now I see how hard, it must have been for people, trying in winter, in small teams or without O2. You have done well, everest and k2. Well done. Looking forward to more videos on more mountains
I once climbed K2 in 4 hours with no oxygen and a butt hanging off my lip the whole time 😂 JK obviously, but I agree this video is 💯 💪😎
It has been tried only once in history in Winters by the top professional high altitude climbers team led by legendary Nirmal Purja from of course Nepal. Another first winter attempt resulted in disaster and everyone died on the mountain , all 3 members of the expedition team. Only one body recovered so far. Nobody thinks of summiting K2 in winter, it's an extraordinary honor even in summers. 🤗
Been waiting for this moment since your last on Everest. You made it look effortless to reach the summit. Cheers and to many more Jon.
Thanks very much 🙏 hopefully there will be more soon from Ama Dablam, Manaslu and a few others!
Yeh, he makes climbing K2 look easy 😬😁😜
@@justjohn7529 no sweat
@@justjohn7529 Although this video is amazingly filmed and the best footage on this platform for the climb but it's not climbing K2 on it's level, all I see is jugging up on fixed lines I assume the guides fixed (may be completely wrong and Jon lead some sections, i'm only going by what I see in this video)
The fact you see how tiring, steep and technical it is just jumaring and using supp O2 makes it even crazier that there's a few people that have done it solo, unassisted and without supp O2
"I lead treks and expeditions everywhere in the world and share the mountain experience with groups and climbers with maybe less background. I love that, but still I consider climbing the 8000ers alone as my time-off. It gives me time to look back at my life, live in the moment and plan the upcoming.” - Samuli Mansikka
Awesome journal of the climb. Thanks for shooting, editing and sharing. What an epic day!
by far the best K2 climbing videos i have seen...legendary serac & transverse route beside it is seen clearly for the first time even though i have seen many K2 expedition videos... hats off to you for pulling this off & making this wonderful video...
Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed the video, I appreciate your comments.
One of the best videos of K2 I've seen. Absolutely amazing. Well done. Onwards and upwards..
Thanks Joe!
All of your climbs look so effortless 👍🏼 and all this positivity during the climb is just awesome. Especially with the K2 it sounds like you happen to visit your granny rather than climb the deadliest mountain on the planet 😅 excellent content. Cool attitude. What a level of professionalism. Adds mountaineering a whole other level of humanity and humbleness. At least in my inspiration when I see your work. Thanks for sharing your invaluable experience.
Thanks Dimitry, I really appreciate your comments. I take great pride in being a high altitude guide and providing a highly personable and professional service to my clients. It's been really fun being able to film them and share them with the world too. Hopefully more coming soon...
That last scene was formidable! THAT last scene made that whole video amazing.
Yep, best, clearest, most well filmed ascent in perfect weather, and really shows the climb in a way most videos do not.
Brilliant to watch. Thanks so much!
Thanks Jarah, I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video!
The thing that astounds me is the way of talking and communicating above 8000m. Just amazing. Congratulations!
Thanks 🙏
Thanks for the film, I always have been fascinated for this Mountain , at 53 bad back and knee, no money, this isn’t the closest I will ever get to climbing the beautiful snd deadly one, thanks again, well done,👌
Thanks Jose, glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Absolutely stunning!! And the weather you were blessed with...wow!!
I love watching these mountain vids this is the best of k2 I’ve seen
The most amazing Alpine Mountaineering video ever!! Can’t believe how awesome the weather was for you!!
Thanks very much - we did have some super weather along the way.
Hi there, House's Chimney and the route after that looked very challenging indeed.
80 degrees or more!!
You need to control ur mind and not panic. That probably also happens, for first timers, if and the weather changes abruptly. And it does there, on those heights.
Very calming, reassuring and convincing presentation as such.. You can hear from breaths how demanding it is. Even for a guy in that good shape.
With this guy I can imagine ppl taken up by him feel safe. As safe as it ever can be. More and more accidents happen, every year though.
K2 is the most challenging one of all top mountains.
Keep it up your great work ✌️
They don't call it the Savage Mountain for no reason But this guy climbs it and at the same time records it for us making it even more dangerous Absolute legend! By far the best K2 video on the net thank you for bringing us along with you.
Cheers Ryan, glad you enjoyed watching the video 👌
thankyou for filming this. the rock and ice prior to the traverse lookslike great climbing.
I don't usually comment on here, but your video deeply moved me. K2 in particular, as well mountaineering in general has always been a fascination of mine. Watching this really brought the experience to life for me, and Im so happy to have watched this im in tears of joy. Thank you so much. The struggle to put the effort at those altitudes into making this video as compelling as you did really shown through... my dude, you came across as someone we can aspire to chase our dreams after, not a superstar in any sort although still one, but someone people can relate to. You showed us bits of the journey, but those of substance. I got to see and feel what climbing K2 is really like, to an extent. And for that I thank you
Sorry for ranting 😆
I guess you had been extremely lucky about the conditions you had on the mountain. No heavy storms, no groundless deep snow, no icy rocks. Congrats, well done.
I am blown away by this amazing video of your summit!
Mad respect. Thank you for sharing this, in the most amazing way.
What an achievement ! Congratulations ! Those are places in the world I shall never see so thank you for this amazing video !
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed the video!
