I would just love to do the week long hike to base camp and be surrounded by the giants and the beauty of them to just see it in person to put it into perspective
Having watched a ton of documentaries where the queuing up to the summit on one line was one of the main issues, I am happy to see that there are now two lines! Progress.
The only thing keeping me from trying to summit Everest are those sketchy crevasses you have to walk across on a rickety ladder helllllll no I'm never trying that
Always loved watch Big Tim from L.A. trying his very best & is little POW=WOW's with Russel. Tim's is a fish out of water when it comes to Mountaineering but congratulations to him he summited on his second attempt (With a fracured hand according to my foggy memory). Always thought there was a bit of Romance with Tim & that beautiful Doctor on that TV show Beyond Everest or a similar title. WELL DONE TIM🏍
So after acclimatising in previous vids, then taking oxygen in the death zone, does that undo all the benefit derived from acclimatising in the first place?
Taking pure oxygen for periods of time allows the body to store higher levels of it. It's called saturation and it's the same thing divers without breathers practice before going underwater for long breathholds
Salute to the legends Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgey... When Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgey reached on the Peak there were no fixed lines and ladders available at that time... Even they didn't know about the Route and didn't know about the safest way to the Mt Everest Peak.. They are real legends.. Now a days climbing up to the Mt Everest seems like a tourist destination with little effort... The climbers only have to follow the lines and to climb the inbuilt ladders on there... And SOS helicopter, Oxygen and other facilities, available if needed..
When are we going to see these people show what they did in on their climb in comparison to what the Sherpas did for them. You see people thank the Sherpas but they don't go through what and how much they did for them. The reason is because it dampens the glory they are seeking for themselves. It shows how reliant they are on somebody else to pursue their dream. They are never going to admit to anyone how much they didn't actually do for themselves, if they did nobody would be really that impressed. Everest is a queue of mostly privileged people contributing to a cess pit and when they are giving their motivational speech as guest speakers, they should acknowledge their part. Is so sad that Everest is the toilet for foreign ambition. Standing on top of the world's highest peak shows how. Exactly how low the human race will go to pursue it. Dump their rubbish, take a crap on the Mother Goddess of the World and walk past another dying human just to brag about what somebody else mostly did for them.
yup,thats why they pay the 25-35k or whatever it is for the assistance,they dont hand over that money they dont get up there,the whole charade is assisted big time
Great insight. All made possible by the sherpas who are the true heroes. Please take responsibility for the out of control rubbish & environmental contamination - take your rubbish back out - pack out what you pack in.
excuse my naivity on this subject, if the oxygen % in air even at those altitudes is intact and if its so windy all the time why is it still harder to breathe
The higher our climbers go the less dense the atmosphere, simply meaning the oxygen molecules in the air are further apart which is why we say ‘thin air’. It actually all comes down to pressure. At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is about 1.04kg per square cm. That’s a nice heavy level of pressure that helps give the oxygen an extra push to pass through the selectively permeable lung membranes and into the blood. However, the higher you go, the lower that pressure becomes and therefore the less likely it is that the oxygen molecules actually pierce through the lung membranes and get themselves into the haemoglobin of the red blood cells where they get transported to the rest of the body. Think of atmospheric pressure as a giant ‘press’ pushing down on the oxygen molecule and ‘stamping’ it into its seat inside the red blood cell. At higher altitude, that extra assistance isn’t there. On top of that, the oxygen molecules are also further apart so you are less likely to come across as many of them in each breath as you would at sea level. So the body make up for it. At first, there are superficial changes, the body increases breathing rate (to increase the chance of taking in the same level of oxygen but from much sparser air) and your heart rate and blood pressure also increase dramatically (even at rest) to help move more blood (hopefully oxygenated) around your system. The theory is the more you breathe & the more blood your heart pumps, the more chance you have of an oxygen molecule getting to where it’s got to go. Following? BUT (and here’s where it gets very cool) over time your body realizes it needs to make some more significant adaptations if it’s going to live at altitude successfully so it makes some longer-term adaptations to its efficiency. It increases the number of red blood cells as well as increases your capillaries and even your lung capacity and size. All of this change is to ‘up’ the probability of coming in contact with those precious (but flighty) little oxygen molecules. Understandably, these longer-term changes take time, (it’s tough work for the body) hence why Everest is a patience game and why is takes 2 months to climb the mountain and we do rotations up and down the mountain before going for the summit. By increasing our high point a little more each time, the climbers/trekkers put manageable stress on their bodies, bringing them up to a new threshold and then by taking time to rest, they give their bodies a chance to play catch up and adapt to this new normal. When our climbers get seriously high on Everest, they’ll go on oxygen which helps with the sparsity of oxygen in the air. By increasing the likelihood of coming into contact with precious oxygen molecules. So climbing Everest is a remarkable feat indeed, not just from a mental strength perspective but also from a physiological one. To put it in perspective, if I were to take you off your chair right now and whisk you away from to the summit of Everest you would pass out within a few minutes and die shortly after.
What has struck me from watching a ton of these informative videos is just how out of breath everyone sounds when talking. I get severe anxiety from intense breathing sounds, so I don't think this endevour is for me lol.
Nice sceneries, great experience. But why this voice behind always mention risk, dangers, mongering fear. It's all just great adventures. fear isn't real.
Fear is an evolutionary response so you don't get yourself killed. You don't need to have an emotional fear response to keep from getting yourself killed though. Instead you can be made aware of dangers and risks and take efforts to work around/through them or to be better prepared. What sounds like a bad idea is not telling anyone about the risks and dangers because "fear isn't real, its just adventure". Telling people "You can die from this and this and this here, also many people do die here" is useful, not just "fear mongering".
I would think making it to camp 3 would be a great accomplishment. I’d call it a day and come back down lol
I would love to hike upto base camp one day.
I would consider it an accomplishment just to get to Tengboche 😂

What are you talking about? Don't think you understood what you watched.

Same here 😭
Sure Jan. I'm sure the tens of thousands of dollars it would cost to climb are of no consequence.
That’s funny cause that doesn’t bother me close to as much as the summit ridges with the sheer drops.
@@thegent8916 Imagine thinking everyone's poor like you.
Climb from the north side in Tibet,you skip the all that
The Sherpa are super humans.
Very brave the love of life

wow that camp 3 is extremely susceptible to the avalanche from this shot...

Greetings from Mexico
i wonder how cold it is to sleep up there in those tents
They probably don't get much if any sleep
Great video

They are literally polluting the environment.. smh
I will litter. Who's going to stop me up there?
❤
the music is atrocious, is there a way to take it out to focus on the image and what is said?
Shout the Sherpa’s

And that was before he even got to the death zone
Climb from sea level 3.000 meters in one hour? 🤔Not many top level trail runners can do that.
F.ck that
