hey 👋 thanks for watching appreciate ya 😊

Mad props to Etienne, not only is he doing the same hike, but often needing to get ahead/fall behind to get video shots...insane.

[YesTheory]

He was hiking sometimes ahead of us or staying back, total beast, definitely outdoing Ammar and I. Growing up in the Swiss mountains though this is his natural habitat 😄

[julespessionmountainguide]

Thank you @yestheory guys! It was a pleasure to meet you and spend this adventure with you.
I wish you all the best for your future adventures!

The fact that they got all those supplies up there, pre 1900, is just amazing. You really have to appreciate what humanity has done and can do. Beautiful view.

The real person YES THEORY needs to thank is the camera man, he had to not only be safe with himself, and also to film everything for u. SO many times i saw him filming in front of the 3 of u, meaning, he had to move faster than u 3 just so he could look back... I hope u guys pay him more than well

[zors]

The fact that people built "this", over a 100 years ago is simply insane for me to think about. Truly breathtaking.

[Terribad]

As someone who does mountaineering and videography (but never together), watching Etienne was a treat. Getting the shots is already difficult. Add to that managing the equipment (drone, RC, lenses, batteries, etc) is absolute insane.

Huge props to him.

I have virtually traveled to the Highest Hotel on earth thanks to the internet. Let us give the Cameraman his flowers. Watching from Nairobi, Kenya.

[InadequacyinaBucket]

As a disabled person who used to be a backpacking guide and can now barely handle a light stroll, I am super grateful to Yes Theory for bringing viewers along to witness some of the most beautiful places on earth that I will never be able to see.

[markburke]

People always say what an accomplishment it is to hike up certain places, but I can never understand how incredible of an achievement it was to build these types of buildings!

[Billybobble]

Amarr's enthusiasm for life is not only world class, it's completely infectious. That hotel is absolutely bonkers, the efforts to not just build it, but for regular staff to treat you to high quality cuisine at such altitudes is just crazy.
I can only imagine what a cherished experience this must have been. Yes Theory are absolutely killing it in 2024. Onwards to the next 10 years and even higher highs.

[FishRFrenzNotFood]

Can we talk about how we are getting such high quality, cinematic style content for free on YouTube??!

[dragonzord]

Jules and etienne are the mvp here. Also when I saw the first hut i was like 'nah that'll be empty' - totally full. Even the final one had a bunch of people. How the hell did these buildings even get made, with all the materials needing to be carried all the way up there...

[kitt]

Awww. Ammar is so compassionate, we all need a friend like that. Great job to all of you guys. May you two have many more years of great friendship & grow old together.

[snbarnes]

Ok but filming this at the same time, getting ahead to do drone shots etc is the most impressive part. I’d love a bts of his perspective

[byMedalcore]

I've been watching Yes Theory for years. Bought some of their merch drops, supported their first film, etc! So proud of how far they have come and have incorporated the way I live my life and create my content daily. Thanks for still making videos guys! Love what you are all doing

[armaan_]

This journey must have been the embodiment of seeking discomfort. Getting to see such an amazing sunrise in person after pushing through altitude sickness and all these other obstacles must have been one of the most enriching experiences ever. What a place for a hotel by the way, the fact that people actually went about building it at that altitude 100 years ago for a queen is crazy to think about. Keep up the good work Yes Theory, and can't wait to see where you end up next!

[natalietrujillo]

The friendship dynamic between Ammar and Thomas is so real! It goes to show you can conquer anything with good friends at your side!!

[gwhizginadoesdiamondpainti]

Not your typical viewer here, I guess! 64 year old whose biggest adventures are most likely behind me. I'm living vicariously through your videos... and loving every minute!
