Bill's Wild Rides in the Himalaya
Переглядів 453Рік тому
The Everest climbing season is right around the corner. The Icefall Doctors are fixing lines on the mountain and the teams will be arriving in Kathmandu in early April. I thought this would be a good time to reprise some unique video footage of Mt. Everest, Everest Base Camp, the Khumbu Icefall, Camp 1, the Western Cwm, Burke Khang and the fabled Himalaya mountain range. All of this footage was...

One Chip Challenge

Most of you who have followed my adventures know that I love hot sauce. This addiction began when I was a child. I now have one of the greatest hot sauce collections in the world. In my travels to every continent, I have never met anyone who can match my capacity for Scoville-inflicted pain. In 2021, the Paqui “One Chip Challenge” was issued. The Paqui chip combines ingredients from two of the ...

Mt Everest South Approach and North Approach Long
Переглядів 43 тис.3 роки тому
My goal was to climb Mt. Everest by both the South approach in Nepal and the North approach in Tibet. On my second attempt, at age 67, I reached the summit from the South approach on May 23, 2009, becoming the oldest American to reach the summit and return alive. After four attempts, at age 72, I reached the summit from the North approach on May 25, 2014. I broke my 2009 record and became the o...

My life goal was to climb Mt. Everest from the South Approach, which begins in Nepal, and the North Approach, which begins in Tibet. In 2009, at the age of 67, I summitted Mt. Everest from the South Approach and became the oldest American to reach the top of the world. In 2014, at the age of 72, I summited Mt. Everest from the North Approach, broke my Mt. Everest age record, and became the olde...

My Everest presentations normally take from 60 to 90 minutes. I was asked by a Christian high school attended by my grandchildren to deliver a presentation no longer than 15 minutes. I have never done this before and didn't think it was possible. Here is what I came up with.

Everest South & North & Burke Khang
Who would want to go and camp amongst everyone else's shit, frozen piss, garbage, empty cylinders? It's a disgusting mess, people who live there are sick and tired of the climbers and their pollution.
I wonder how Mallory would feel if he saw the ping pong tables and flat screen TV's.
It looks like you had an amazing trip to the Bahamas. The water is a beautiful color. Nice sailboat, too. That's how I would like to see the islands. Thank you for sharing, Bill!
Скоро наверное поставят лифт, уже везде лестницы, верёвки и насильщики Шерпы.
thanks guys
प्रकृति जितनी अच्छी दिखती है उतनी खतरनाक भी होती है
How did you find all the river angels?
There sources: (i) a partial list of River Angels, (ii) recommendations and work of mouth during the paddle and (iii) postings on the Missouri River Paddlers Facebook page.
@@eightsummits Thanks. I’ll look into those. Awesome video.
Mark; please contact me about River Angels. edxceo@aol.com
So the idea with the north route is to skip the danger of the ice fall in favour of a more gruelling climb to the top?
Wonder who the body is
Cieszę się że mogę wirtualnie uczestniczyć w tej wyprawie na Everest. Jeżeli nie można osobiście być tam gdzie wy jesteście, dobre i to. Patrząc na film czuję się tak jak gdybym brała udział w wyprawie. Możecie się śmiać ale tak właśnie jest. Pozdrawiam was. Didi
Thank you for recording and posting these valuable educational videos. Good for you sir.
Great video, Bill! I really enjoyed it, as well as having the pleasure to meet and paddle with you! Looking forward to the next adventure.
No much helmets on to be seen. Baseball cap instead. That tells that risk awareness does not exist. Traffic jam is like in NY in slopes. Thats one of the reasons to high death rate. Horrible. This mountaneering has become a tourist trap.
Those heli pilots are heroes too. In those altitudes of very thin air and heavy wind risks are high.
It is simply great! Thank you for this video account of both climbs!
Someone show spencer Mathews this video please in 🇬🇧 his brothers body has never been found and I’m sure that body that perished looked like similar clothing 😮
Looks like a combined age of about 75 lol, good for you love from 🇬🇧
Come across many bodies?
Congratulations Mr. Bill Burke! It was fun traveling along with you through this latest journey and this final video was a fun recap. God is Good !
Thanks Jay. eightsummits.com/2024/01/29/missouri-river-recap/
Thanks for sharing your journey Bill!
Y'all cant!!
How would you cross the ice fall.without ladders???
Before ladders, they used logs from trees
So does the north face from China avoid the traffic jam after the Hilary step you get on the Nepal side? Do you summit same day as those teams? What if someone summits from the south.. then comes down your fixed lines on the north side? I have so many questions.
Yes, the Northeast Ridge avoids the traffic jams you see on the Southeast Ridge. Also, the North Approach in Tibet does not have the crowds you see on the South Approach in Nepal. Both the North Approach and the South Approach lead to the same summit. The teams don't summit on the same day. Climbers cannot complete a traverse of the mountain by going up the South Approach and down the North Approach, and vice versa. China will not allow climbers to enter or exit Tibet other than at recognized border points. i.e, the Friendship Bridge. For a comparison of the South Approach and the North Approach, view my video titled "Mt. Everest: South Approach and North Approach."
Here is the video: ua-cam.com/video/-Xz078-JRBg/v-deo.html
Great video of your climbs, congratulations! I imagine it is something you will always have fond memories of. I have trekked in the Everest region several times and every time it is the most beautiful and inspiring place to be.
Fantastic content
28:40 anybody knows the identity of the dead body at this step?
Nossa 😮😮😮
😊
mount everest is part of tibet not poor little nepal
There is one stipulation that absolutely should be applied, but never will, regarding anyone who wishes to attempt this....if you are incapable of doing it without an oxygen bottle you have no business up there!
Anyone else noticed the dead body on step 2? 😬
Amazing 2-part documentary!! So much better than a lot of the stuff out there. It deserves much more attention than I'm seeing! FYI: Your content has never popped up in all the time I have been searching for and watching climbing expeditions. ❤❤❤
Amazing how much that area is polluted just so those idiots can stroke their ego's.
How do you sleep laying on so many very rough rocks ?
ur photos shows me how big this area is. WOW
sleep on boulders???
Is the North route easier ?
The North Approach is more difficult. See eightsummits.com/mt-everest/
indian aarti om jai jagdish
Great videos !! Thank you.
Is it Lote see face ????
Don't like those horizontal ladders all that much.... nor does that one climber.
I would say the crowds make it very unsafe..... I would avoid such stuff.
We should build a temporary airport on top of mount everest lol
Looks like a bunch of rich old farts. Kudos I guess. Serious question - why are guys huffing and puffing while breathing supplemental oxygen? Especially when you’re standing still? I could see gasping for air (or lack of) with no oxygen supplemented … and I understand exertion - I just don’t get breathing difficulties when laying in a tent with an oxygen mask on.
Too many people---------just way, way, too many ! Terrible.-------------MJL, 76 y/o
Nice video! One can clearly see why there so many climbers causing a bottleneck, with all the ropes and ladders, there appears to be many that shouldn’t be there! Guess it takes $$$
The North route looks more pleasant because there is less people. Amazing summit and congratulations you put us younger folk to shame.
a big shout out to the climbers who have made the top of Everest a trash dump. Good work.
anyone ever climbed up the north side and down the south side or vice versa?
