In my humble opinion, coming from the west. If you are rich enough to travel to these locations and spend thousands on the adventure you should be wealthy enough to ensure those locals that help you are rewarded. I could not seriously live with myself endangering others for my ego and not ensuring they were seriously compensated for helping me achieve that. And I love climbing passionately.

Who else is on a binge of mountain climbing videos. Can't get enough of them. Amazing locations and amazing people.
-
I’m amazed that their guide Pemba wasn’t mentioned more in this movie. He showed great heroism in the 2008 K2 disaster where 11 People died
-
The standard 10 dollar tip had me jaw dropping. I feel so bad for the local people who risk their life helping climbers.
-
So glad I can do all my mountaineering on YouTube
-
The mountain guides are the real champions.

I'm not in any way trying to take credit from mountain climbers. I'm sure the skill and endurance needed is tremendous. With that said, it does seem like the Sherpas are the real mountaineers up there. They make it possible for others to reach a summit so they can say "I did it". But who paved the way to the top and who paid their way to the top becomes obvious.
-
For us armchair travellers, these videos are wonderful. Thank you!
-
As a Tibetan, I am proud of Our Sherpa brothers. They did all the difficult tasks.
-
Lets give a big Shout-Out to Sherpas that made things more comfortable to accomplish this expedition!!!!! They deserver the same credits as everyone else!
-
I did only base camping at K2. It took me 13 days back and forth just for the base. The experience can not be described in words. That feeling is amazing.
-
On Everest, many climbers that die remain on the mountain where they took their last steps. The creepy thing about K2 is that the mountain sends its victims to its base, grinding them to indiscernible pieces along the way.

Please pay your porters well and treat them with utmost respect. They deserve it.

Nirmal Purja summited this mountain (K2) in two days in the harsh weather conditions of the winter. This is the first successful K2 winter expedition after numerous attempts since 1987. Purja was the only team member to summit without the use of supplemental oxygen, becoming the first individual to do so. Purja is notable for having climbed all 14 eight-thousanders (mountain peaks above 8,000 metres or 26,000 feet) in a record time of 6 months and 6 days PROJECT POSSIBLE!!

I've never hiked any of the 8k meter peaks, but I have hiked all the 14ers in Colorado and a decent number of 13ers here as well. I read No Way Down, that tells the story about the 11 climbers that died in 2008 on K2. Highly recommend it. I can't get enough of these videos. I'm amazed watching what these people go through to summit K2.

I am retired. The last month or so I have binge watched caving(spelunking), cave diving, scuba diving, and mountain climbing. The one thing I have come to a conclusion. No thank you!! Y'all that have a love or desire to do these extreme sports, y'all have my thoughts and prayers and I support you. I have a family and a new grandson I haven't got to see yet and I really want to. Good luck guys and girls! But you have to tip the Sherpas. Y'all are spending thousands you need to tip thousands!
-
It's unfair not to mention Nirmal Purja's team and Migma Sherpa's team who set the rope to to top amidst all danger and deep snow.
-
Well.... I was feeling pretty good about WALKING 10 miles yesterday... Not to brag, but also without supplemental oxygen
-
I mean. I like watching mountain climbing docus, they're exciting and all, but it never ceases to amaze me the inadvertent grandiose self-image it takes to think/say that a mountain is actively trying to kill you, or is an adversary or something else to that effect. Which is a thing I've heard so many times not only of K2. My dudes - the mountain is just going about its mountain-business. It doesn't even care you're there. As the speaker rightly say: it's indifferent, not cruel or angry.
-
One of the best summit documentaries of K2, I've seen other videos of Carla, Topo and Adrian and these guys are not the typical cocky mountaineers that we see in other documentaries, they have a respect for the mountains, realistic about the dangers and also taking hard calls to withdraw rather than being callous. Good luck team. Great content as always.
