this is one of the most beautiful Everest documentaries I've ever seen. Thankfully no music, just the original sound of silence and peace. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience.

Every video of Everest expeditions I see scares the heck out of me. Especially when climbers are tackling ice cliffs. I find myself holding my breath in case the constant attacks of crampons cause sheets of ice to calf off the wall. Much respect for those who choose to attempt this! Most humble respect to all of the wonderful Sherpa people who risk and sacrifice so much to make it possible for mere mortals to achieve their dreams. May the children of every Sherpa guide and porter on the mountain gain a wonderful education so they never have to risk their lives on a mountain so some foreign dreamer can achieve something very personal.

Of all the expedition videos I have watched, this one feels most like a good ethnography to me. Deeply personal, vividly depicted and just incredible. I got winded just listening to the efforts expended in trying to just breathe above 8000m! Awesome production - THANK YOU!

Thank you for making this, and thank you for not adding music. Hearing the wind and footsteps is much more engaging!

Best video I've seen of someone summiting everest. Felt like I was with them every step of the way. Well done to the mountaineer who shot this!

[adammiller]

This is the first I have ever seen the North side. Amazing and Inspiring.

[alfovebraseth]

By far the best Everest documentary I have seen, no personal dramas and no music - just the jurney, thanks

[julianyc]

Just so generous and humble of you to not show us and talk about your feet and socks and critique of meals, and talking over chants during these team and community experiences. Just brilliant of you. Grateful to you to share a place very few people will ever see.

now this is the best everest docu i have seen so far. way more organized and calm, clean camps, no powerfights over useless shite, no sociopathic rants, no ropesalad hanging off the mountain, talks about other peaks, including showing them, no psycho lipstick chicks and the landscape overall is way prettyer. thank you Mr. Li-Lan Cheng, you did an outstanding job here. thanks David Snow.

[penelopekenyon]

YES! Definitely one of the best - with regard to stunning photography, awesome details, and specific information to remember. Congratulations to everyone on this climb. I have to watch it again, and again!

Incredible video. You can hear Li-Lan's heartbeat going up the North Col.

[koksinglau]

Like how the whole video was shot. Its like I was transported to the mountain, and all the way to the summit. The first and second step are v dangerous and scary.

[thesciencebeyond]

This video on Everest is simply brilliant & brilliantly simple. What triumph of human spirit together with bowing down before Nature. Salute to every team member from a thrice Siachen veteran.

[TeeProductoins]

Well done congratulations to the whole team, and of course the sherpa who make this possible. Its refreshing to see respect between the team and the sherpa, some 'climbers' could learn a lot from this. Amazing effort.

Many thanks David for posting this. An absolutely brilliant capture of summiting Everest and the challenges involved. Have a real life feeling to it and you can get a sense of what it would be like to be up there. Some passages certainly bring the pulse up, blo**y hell!
Best Everest movie I've seen. Huge respect to Li-Lan for capturing this exciting adventure in such a formidable way.

[kevincresswell]

Congratulations on a great achievement. I like the way you were kind and cheered others to the top of the world.

[kenwbrenner]

Thank you for providing this for us.
As a "fan" of Mt. Everest, found this to be very well filmed.
I appreciate the good words the man gave when he reached the summit (thanking his wife, etc.).
Look forward to more videos on your channel.

[rameshshaligram]

The best Everest film ever . Just felt that we are with you on summit. thank you..

[duvidl]

This the best video of a Northside climb of Everest I have seen. Felt like I was actually there!. Great job!

[aaronmcneil]

Probably the best Everest videos I've seen, thank you.

[alveyjohn]

Great video, thanks for sharing. That 1st ladder at the Second Step remains as mind-boggling as ever. Froze the video a few times and counted at least a dozen different ropes hanging on and around that ladder. I read about many people giving up at the Second Step, just too challenging for some to overcome.
