Alone on Ama Dablam 6812m

  • 2014 - My first time visiting the Himalayas.
    At the time I was really driven to become the youngest to solo Ama Dablam 6812m and set a new record.
    looking back at it now I'm surprised that this was a huge motivation for me but I also came to the realization that these things change.
    Nowadays I'm driven by my curiosity - to learn what awaits me up somewhere where nobody has ever been and to get to know what I'm capable of as an Alpinist, as a human being.
    I filmed everything with a single Gopro back then.

    I just returned last week from Summiting Ama Dablam. I used fixed rope everywhere above camp I. Toughest feat of my entire life. I could not even begin to imagine taking it on without the aid of fixed rope. Extremely impressive. Congratulations mate.

      @@frankobrien1371 In the summit pictures you can see that there ist a ascender at the belt. Even more strange is the summit panorama. It seems that the summit is the highest in the area, but it's not. You can never see Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse. I think everything is fake. Certainly a high mountain.

      @@triroli71 The summit panorama is fast, but you can see Everest and Lhotse for sure at 5'57, and again, more clearly on the second time round at 6'01. The large, black south face of Lhotse with the summit of Everest behind, If you pause it you can see cloud streaming off the summit of Everest. What an achievement!

      i love the footage. i like the climber. i'm grateful to see it. And i'm an ass for saying this. But the sounds of the mountain, the tools digging into the ice, and the sound of the climbers is even to a fault SUFFICIENT to my full enjoyment. WHY OH LORD WHY do i have to compete with the jarring soundtrack garbage to hear the sounds of nature and the climb. DOES EVERYTHING have to be a gd production?? The same goes for every sport, Go Pro surfing, skating snowboarding thing just everything in life has to sound like the Discovery Channel---muted, along with just about everything else forever on my TV and YT viewing. In closing, NO i never got to enjoy the sounds of you and your climing tools doing their thing.

    In 1998 I was on an expedition with, among other people, Chad Kellog.
    We all took about 2 weeks to do the climb the usual way. After summitting Chad went down to base camp and rested for three days or so. Then, he woke up at 1AM, had some breakfast, and started up the Mtn at 2AM. He reached summit in the afternoon and was back down to base camp at 8PM (the same day) for dinner. We watched him with binoculars. So, we know, for sure, that he really did it. Your accomplishment is great too! I mention Chad because he died (climbing) last year and your video reminded me of him. So, RIP Chad, and be safe Jost!

So I was just on the other end of the story you're telling;) The risk in climbing is just part of it, and when we choose to do certain expeditions or climbs we know about it and it sometimes gives us this feeling that we are really on an adventure... -but what happened to Chad?
