Mountaineering: Height Doesn’t Matter

Cutting-edge climbers have turned away from Everest and the 8000-meter trophy peaks in search of virgin terrain. It’s not the height of a peak; it’s the she…

  1. Height doesn’t matter!? WTF? I would argue that climbing 8000m peaks
    without bottled O2 is the most difficult. Anyone can push hard for a
    couple of days, but doing it for weeks when you’re sleep deprived and
    starving for oxygen requires a whole different level of mental toughness.

  2. @TheTheman45 1. “wow hes got balls” aint gay. 2. what about free-climbing
    insane cliff faces is even remotely gay 3. you watched that movie? 4.
    you’re gay.

  3. @rheographics the same way that anyone else one, he climbs too. btw, it
    took me a masters in rocket science and a phd in COMMON FUCKING SENSE to
    figure this out. dumbass.

  4. what is different about everest is that much of it is not based on your
    actual climbing experience, fitness, or preparation. an unfit climber can
    fair very well on everest while a prepared climber that is in shape can
    quickly develop a sickness and die-this is presumably caused by your body’s
    efficiency with processing oxygen. The actual science of it is not known
    very well mostly because the conditions are so harsh that testing is very
    difficult. obviously this is a very in depth topic…

  5. Where do you start to learn about mountaineering? I want to climb it with a
    guide. But have no experience mountaineering 🙁

  6. He’s mistaking technical difficultly with stamina and mental hardness when
    he’s talking about everest. And the narrator saying that everest is a jaunt
    in the hills to most alpinists is an absurd thing to say. Mountaineers? The
    best climbers are the ones who make it back down, and the way that dude
    climbs, combined with his attitude bodes unwell.

  7. Aplausos ! ! Che esta muy bueno lo que hicieron. Imaginate que como amante
    de la montaña uno ha visto muchos videos. Este muestra una escalada con
    clima argento. Además tiene un par de escenas que están mostradas muy
    naturalmente. Me gustaron mucho las que dejan percibir el sonido de ese
    momento, el de la piqueta golpeando contra el hielo. La verdad
    felicitaciones y no lo digo por la cumbre sino por haber disfrutado el
    trayecto y por dejarnos estar un poco ahí.Tendría que haber sido mas larga.

  8. “no me gustan las peliculas de escalada, que les hacen parecer
    super-heroes” sabio ese man!!! la escalada es de disfrutar, no de hacerse
    el bacan frente a la camara!
