Annapurna I expedition and what has happened for the past 40 days. Why would I choose to climb the 10th highest and one of the deadliest mountains on earth? Is the answer to reach the top altitudes on earth? Or is climbing simply a way of seeing how far you can take yourself? Or is it just because?
Annapurna has tested my “essence”. Brought out my best and my worst. This mountain is completely unforgiving, impersonal and answers to no higher authority.
There were a thousand reasons to stop and only a few to push on. And those were personal and unique reasons that kept me going.
To everyone who doesn’t climb. Please accept my love of mountaineering. Please know that this is what makes me alive, it is the fuel that drives me on an individual level ...

In a rare and daring rescue on Mount Everest, a Nepali sherpa guide saved a Malaysian climber. The climber was found near the summit, battling extreme cold in the dangerous "death zone."
Temperatures in the "death zone" about 8,000 meters above sea level, can dip past negative 30 degrees Celsius! 🥶
Guide @gelje_sherpa_ spotted the struggling climber and embarked on a six-hour mission to bring him 600 meters down from the Balcony to the South Col.

Climbing nice pitch like that above 6000m under great weather with a perfect rock is a chance. Those moments you understand why you come and you forget all the desagrements of expeditions !! During this ascent of #goldfish we got a bunch of nice pitch super technical and enjoyable to climb !!

Part two of: Everest - The Summit Climb. From the south summit to the top of the Hillary Step, raw and unfiltered. For two months, I visualized this sequence. I mentally mapped out and prepared what it would take to shoot everything I needed, chase the team up Everest and ensure I was able to create the images I wanted without slowing anyone down or putting anyone including myself at risk. This is a carefully coordinated effort based on trust and performance between the guides, Sherpas and I. Our expedition leaders Michael Horst and @vern.tejas coordinated the entire operation and permitted me to do what I do. With their help and the support of @sherpapk and our Sherpa team, along with the cast, we were able to bring these images back from the mountain. When shooting there is a constant honest internal dialogue with myself happening as I know my limits and always recognize that I need to push when necessary, but always keep enough in the reserve to get down safely. Team effort all the way!

Going up isn’t only hard, it’s mandatory to return. Heading down after the summit in Manaslu(8163m). What an experience it was 💥✨️

The Khumbu Icefall is located at the head of the Khumbu Glacier and the foot of the Western Cwm, which lies at an altitude of 5,486 metres (17,999 ft) on the Nepali slopes of Mount Everest, not far above Base Camp and southwest of the summit. The icefall is considered one of the most dangerous stages of the South Col route to Everest's summit.

Pushing the limits of freesking on 6000m peaks is a feat that very few have explored. @jeremieheitz and @samanthamatten set out to discover if they can bring their style of skiing to some of the highest mountains known to man. LA LISTE: EVERYTHING OR NOTHING opens a new chapter in ski history.

Trango Tower - 6,286 m
@ettorezorzini
One of the most beautiful peaks in the world, in one of the most remote places on earth.
Flying around the tower with DJI drones and FPV drones was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. Taking an FPV drone to the top was very exciting, super!
I shot these clips of the Trango Tower during the expedition with @ale.bau.mountainguide , @fran.ratti and @leogheza in July 2022.
Thanks Pakistan 🇵🇰

Footages of a huge avalanche on the dangerous Annapurna. The avalanche triggered on the steep slopes near the summit was huge enough to reach the C-1 situated far enough on relatively plain surface at height of 5000m.

Crossing K2 bottleneck, overhung by huge seracs, during the descent from the summit, July 22, 2022

Sunrise just below the south summit of Everest is a moment I’ll never forget.
@brodiehoodmedia
.

The night breaks. The light shakes
Down from the sky.
The darkness trembles: shivers, dissembles:
Unwilling to die.
And facile and fleet, on dusky feet,
Out of the dripping sunlight tripping,
Shadows pass by,
All sprinkled and spattered
With golden rain,
All shivered, all shattered, like dream-ghosts scattered
By the waking brain.
The light dawns. The night mourns
And the stars shiver,
The moon pales. The loon wails
Far down the river.
And strong in the might of perfect delight,
Fearless and bold with its wealth of gold,
Stronger than sadness,
Brighter than gladness,
Mad with the madness
Of victory won—
Above night’s gloom, above life’s bloom,
Higher and higher, like a passioned desire,
To the highest height of earth’s blinded sight
Rises the sun,
And the battle is done.
Yet afar, unforgetting,
Hid by the hill,
Night awaits the day’s setting,
Revengeful and still.

{Naworld’s Himalayas} Broken ladders due to the many avalanches and the crowd - At very high altitude and mainly in the Himalayas, during the first stages on the way to the upper camps, we find ourselves facing very deep crevasses, paths with
cross with vigilance and maximum concentration.
An unstable terrain mainly due to global warming which does not help but rather makes the expedition even more dangerous and stressful.
When I was told about “crossing ladders”, I considered it a new challenge to fight my fear of heights.
A fear that I saw increasing tenfold.
I was completely losing my means, literally shaking and saw myself already falling and remaining suspended thanks to a safety rope on which my life depended.
It would be lying to you to tell you that I did not cry, shout, pray a thousand times… however, we end up being “prowled” with the many rotations of acclimatization.
And yet, we were never safe from bad surprises - again - like the damage of several avalanches where we found ourselves at more than 6000m facing a broken ladder.
The season was over and we had to leave the spirit mountain quickly.
Avalanches and melting glaciers on our way down.
You had to be quick, then… impossible to cross on a broken and wobbly ladder.
Psychologically, we take a hit, but with everything we have experienced above and on several occasions, I managed - even hearing the helicopters above us looking for the wounded and dead - to keep my calm and wait for the
mountain’s doctors with a new scale.
People for whom I have deep respect.
Quick, efficient and with a smile.
Something to (re)motivate us to go down safely and with serenity...or almost

The famous K2 bottleneck! Being a 50 kg tiny little climber as I am ☺️ 🤪 being on the same rope as a big guy sometimes twice my weight can be a bit scary….why? Because if they pull the rope I go flying! When arriving at the Bottleneck on my descent there were no one around, just me and @ifmga_tenji_sherpa …So we just went for it and crossed this traverse without stopping. This section is extremely steep and the risk of ice breaking off of the big serac makes it no place you want to stay longer than necessary anyways!
So thank you to fellow teammate @hakonasvang for sharing this video with me. He descended a bit before me and was brave enough to capture this intimidating yet amazingly beautiful part of K2.
@popuplens
I never posted the raw version of this clip so here it is. @austensweetin ‘s last shot from Wind Slab where he triggers a large wind slab. Follow your local avalanche center and take a class. Also check out our case study on this incident. Link in bio
@lucey
I embrace the risk, I’m in love with it. At situations when many don’t even dare to get out of their tents, me and my team go and climb like a 10 men.
To be honest, extreme horrendous weather gives me energy, I get pumped up and it definitely turns me on. It’s my kind of satisfaction ;) 🤙🏼 ... .
The footage was taken when I first broke the World records climbing Everest, Lhotse and Makalu in 5 days and that’s including 2 nights partying with my Sherpa brothers.🤙🏼
