Everest 2024 might be remembered for summits, politics, deaths, ignored rules, near misses and disturbing allegations of sexual misconduct. It's difficult to put all this in a headline, but I believe the Everest guiding industry is at a Rubicon - a point of no return. Not to be lost in this mix is the joy and satisfaction felt by hundreds of summiteers. They worked and trained diligently to cel...

Everest 2024 Coverage: Weekend Update April 7
Incredible achievement. Well documented.
Not only beautiful but also Killar too. (K2)
I’m fascinated with Nepal and all things Everest and I know I’ll never climb the mountain. However, watching Ryan’s videos I felt it was the nearest I’ll ever come to climbing Everest. It’s an amazing watch, thank you Ryan!! And all the very best for your K2 climb!! You’re amazing 🎉😂❤

do they bring the roped back, or leave them on the mountain?
On 8000 meter peaks the ropes are left for the last climbers. The next season, some rope is taken down as new ropes are installed due to the old ones becoming too weak due to the sun’s UV light to support climber’s fall. Every few years there is an effort to remove all the old ropes but it’s common to see multiple years of ropes on these peaks.
What about all the garbage being left on Everest?
@@merrylgoldman2011 the reality is quite different than what you read in the news. Of course, if you look, you’ll find abandoned tent parts, food wrappers, and even plastic water bottles and this is shameful and lies squarely on the shoulders of each individual, their guides and the owners of their companies. There’s been massive effort over the last decade to remove as much of the abandoned trash as possible in 2024 the Nepal army was dispatched to bring down as much as possible and they were actually quite successful.
Your delivery and knowledge is great. Thanks for your work! Appreciation from the Canadian Rockies.
@@sammc2601 appreciate this. Thanks.
11:37 I was reading "Vladimir Putin"
That looks soooo scary.
As a big wave surfer, i respect Wilco a lot. Strong minded
Great great interview! I watched his four hour video and it was amazing. Best footage I have ever seen a good honest non-biased opinion of everything that was going on. I thought it was great. Bravo Ryan you Alan.
His self discipline is amazing
Yes. He was highly focused on reaching his goal.
I wish to be a jeeps driver here,
They love their drives!!!
They are not ordinary drivers
Something to be so proud of Alan...many of us will never get tired of hearing your stories! The love of Ida, your mom and the inspiration you felt to keep going surely tells me she's been with you in spirit throughout your climb and your involvement in the Alzheimers Foundation. You are amazing in all your accomplishments! She'd be so proud of you! Today I opened my cell phone case...and needed Google to search something...well wouldn't you know it? This quite handsome looking man, a very familiar face to me...a man I've followed for years in his red goose downed parka....oh yes....sure enough there you were in the Business Insider Science section with a plastered picture of the one and only Sir Alan Arnette! Article on "Three professional mountaineers explain why these shorter peaks are so challenging, and why Mt. Everest is easier to climb than ever before. I thought you'd like to know...again the world should know your name by now! Just another thing to be proud of Alan! God bless your good heart!
Thank you Ada. You made my day.
Two great guys!
Hello Alan, If you are reading this comment. I must say I'm absolutely thrilled after watching your K2 summit video. Such an amazing achievement. You are from the few chosen ones by God to reach the top of k2. So proud of you. Best wishes ❤
Thank you. We had a great team who worked together well, mostly fortunate with the weather and being experienced and prepared helped. All that said, a lot of things went very right on the expedition for which I’m eternally grateful.
One of the best videos I’ve seen so far, very grateful I can watch at my desk. Thank you 🙏 very much for making this great video. Maybe 20 or 30 years ago I would have thought about it. NOT, Lol
Thanks!!
Ryan’s whole journey on video was great covered every part of it from beginning of base camp to summit so we could see exactly how it is the whole way and just what it takes, unreal.
Summited Everest like it was kinda no big deal 👍
lol. He did make it look easy. When I asked him, he said it was hard.
@@AlanArnetteClimbs Well of course it was hard.
What an achievement! What makes this video great is the company. Everyone is bouncing off each other’s energy. Very positive all around but looking very competent most of all ❤
We made up a good team.
Oh.what happens with those black parts on the fingers?get better soon!😢
That was 2 years ago. He’s fine
Having rich parents and zero responsibilities makes it easy to be a dream chaser.
Perhaps do your homework before making assumptions and such comments.
The sheer logistics of mountain climbing is just incredible
Takes a village than again do get it with a small focused team.
Enjoy all your updates. Now that the Everest climbing season is over will miss them. Followed all of Ryan's video and very enjoyable. Wish for even more content from him!
Whew ! One smart one of a kind beyond human crazy dude. No wonder Ryan Mitchell chose Alpenglow for his Everest summit this year. Entire team made it up and back safely. Adrian said elsewhere he ( Alpenglow) was in contact with Swiss Meteorologists during the climb. Alan, thanks for your recent interview with Ryan Mitchell, and for the cc addition.
I agree about Adrian, great person who runs a class operation. Ryan climbed with different and another great outfit, Maddison Mountaineering.
Hell yeah, I'd tune in to watch a K2 attempt. The footage of the state of Everest summit was quite appalling to be honest, so many banners and flags just dumped up there. This is a sacred place, but yet some treat it like a tip.
I don’t mind the prayer flags so as all the other stuff. technically nothing is allowed to be left in the summit.
@@AlanArnetteClimbs Yes, well given it's a sacred peak, the prayer flags have a place there. Kind of mind-blowing that there was a heap of banners and other stuff up there. Probably the hardest place in the world to do a clean up mission though.
@@carl8568 every single person on the summit could easily do two things: 1) don’t leave anything behind and 2) pick one piece of obvious trash. Their gift and gratitude to Chomolungma.
@@AlanArnetteClimbs You would think so.
its not just everest i’ve been following ryan since his practice climbs and more importantly to me his training leading up to it which i found most inspiring of all. 🎉
Exactly. He knew he needed experience and develop climbing skills to do Everest safely and as self sufficient as possible. He did good!!!
Thank you Allen. I agree with you on most things but I feel blaming climate change for anything is a joke
Well I appreciate the “most things”🤪
This young man is amazing and thank you Ryan for taking us on the journey !!
I cant like this video
I’m curious. Did you listen to her or had already made up your mind based on other media reports?
I've watched all of Ryan's Everest videos, and one thing I've learned; sketchy is Ryan's word for things I'd call terrifying.
lol. Yeah, master of the understatement!
Thanks Alan and Ryan for the detailed recap of the summit! It would be awesome Everest and the rest of the 8000s could be the models for sustainable climbing instead of the laggards.
I couldn't be more proud of that kid.
Congrats Ryan! Great videos!
His fitness level was ready when he got to the death zone. He was ready for the challenge. Great kid!
Watch his own Video- he was really really fast but almost couldn’t keep up with the Sherpa who guided him down - that Sherpa - is a beast!
Ryan did a fabulous job on his series. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us, especially those who are terrified of heights. Amazing job.
Probably the best Everest video I have ever seen. Almost like you laid out the path way
Congratulations, Ryan. As seasoned trekker, I really enjoyed experiencing the climb up the mountain with you. I hope there are many more to come!
Thanks for the closed captions! Great coverage for the year, and well-reasoned summary thoughts.
Thank you!
Looking forward to K2 ! Enjoy these podcasts so much . thank you
Hollywood should be knocking. Been following since day one. This whole thing is begging to be made a movie. Tom Hanks plays Alan. Incredible from start to finish Alan, Ryan, the Madison team. The world just got wowed by a 19 year old.
Great idea!!!😀
Great interview! Thank you Alan and Ryan! I would check on you every day Ryan was thinking of you .Great job! Great footage . God bless
Great interview, and I'm so pleased to hear there may be another adventure next year on K2. Ryan's footage and commentary was second to none, I subscribed early on in the journey and was totally transfixed throughout. The word 'sketchy' became more and more of an understatement - especially on the descent of the icefall. His decision to trek solo to Namche on one of the rotations, rather than take a helicopter with the team, was also very telling of Ryan's determination. Very impressive young man.
I see everyone talking about your backflip. But I didn’t see it on the summit. 🇨🇦
Ryan a couple of backflips during the trek. It was a different person who did it on the summit, not Ryan.
WHAT? He edited whilst ON the mountain????? Wtffffff so gud
That’s common if you want to document in real time. That’s what I did for my K2 summit.
Go Pro cut the kid a check!!
Yes!
Thank you Ryan and Alan, I like so many others, followed Ryan’s journey on Everest and was addicted to his footage due to the rawness and honest coverage, he filmed. (The personality you presented was just the same raw and honest, that’s what kept me looking for your posts.) I wanted to know if yourselves or other climbers feel a sort of sadness once you get back to base camp, because I sure felt that feeling myself when I watched your last Everest post. It felt😢, it’s the end, it’s over, now what? But wow, thank you, today’s interview was exactly what I was missing, for lack of a better word, closure! Alan you asked so many questions I wanted to ask and the sense of pride and love for climbing the two of you exude in your conversation is captivating! What a great epilogue to Ryan’s Everest summit! Thanks to the both of you. I will still be checking both of you out for new footage!
Oh Bernice, what a kind comment for both of us. I think what you saw was a passion for soy that is meaningful to us. I found it at age 38, Ryan at 19. Yrs, there is a let down after the season for climbers, journalists and followers. I’ll do one last video about this to close out the season. Thanks again.
I'm so proud of Ryan just I'll awesome job heck it's changed my life watching him and listening to you Allan I have been in a down slump mental health has been horrible for me last few months very bad anxiety issues thinking I'm having a heart attack I'm just glad I found both of your channels I have been in love with Mt Everest since I was in 3rd grade learning about the mountain so getting the rawness of Ryan climbing day to day it's never been done its always a movie and edited like crazy so it's just brought back the love for Everest & the outdoors and I can't thank both of you enough I really appreciate it my Scott mtn bike has been collecting dust in my garage for over a year and just today I started getting her ready to go thanks to y'all I can't wait for more stories and adventures thanks and God bless both of you.
Thank you Dean. Dealing with depression is an Everest sized challenge. I’m so glad we could bring some joy, even momentarily. You know, this was part of Ryan’s “why” to inspire and encourage. Enjoy your bike ride. Ride On!
@@AlanArnetteClimbs Thanks Alan I appreciate everything your such a great guy 😁 look forward to the next videos.
Congratulations Ryan! Thank you both!
Excellent podcast, excellent interview! I’m so glad you mentioned the wag bags. The idea came to me after watching several Everest documentaries, do the mountaineers wear diapers? You have to stay hydrated, and fed, which means the bathroom! I could not squat on a mountain with my rear end out to pee. Or I wondered do they wear catheters? Nobody talks about how to pee lol.
Ok, let’s go there🤪first you are dehydrated with no food in your stomach so there is not much to pass. But if you do, some people take Imodium to clog things up. So if you have to go, you go. Some in their $2000 down suit but most use “rainbow zipper” to go as fast as they can, facing into the wind. I hope this helps.
