This was an excellent documentary. It was so refreshing to follow a team and individual climber who was so prepared, humble, and honorable. I have seen so many films showing all the trash and bodies littering the mountain. It was a joy to see this side of Mt. Everest.

    One of my biggest takeaways from watching this is that you should buy your own oxygen mask and feel comfortable using it well before they show you how to use one a day before your summit push. Blows my mind that such a crucial, life saving piece of equipment is literally raffled off to ppl like you showed. I would be extremely unhappy if I got one of those older masks that didn’t fit right. That whole thing seems like a massive oversight on the outfitters perspective.

Oxygen is just as vital on Everest as it is under 400 feet of water. It really is hard to imagine.

" Reaching the summit is half of the journey and the descent is just as hard, it would have been nice to see how you handled it and gave us details just like you did throughout the entire video.

Thank you for taking me along. I must say for those who may climb in the future, if you wish to acclimatize to the cold just come and spend a Winter here in Winnipeg where it gets just as cold as the summit of Everest.

    Holy cow. Guess this was the longest UA-cam video I’ve ever watched in one go. I’ve watched so many videos showing the way from Everest or K2 or whatever basecamp to the summit in 3 or 5 minutes and always asked myself: after so many hours and days of hiking and climbing in these breathtaking mountains - don’t they have more footage to share than just some bloody minutes? Thank you so much to share these 30 days with us! Thumbs up!

    I just loved how he concluded the documentary saying that u need be at ur best not only to summit but to got down from the summit, because climbing up is a choice, but going down is mandatory. Just fascinating ❤❤❤❤.
