This is a series released by a small youtuber, who is challenging himself to climb the seven summits (the tallest peaks of each continent), with a twist in that he has to start from the nearest coast and walk all the way to the mountain before doing the climb, and then doing the same after doing the climb.
For Everest, this means nearly 4 weeks of walking from India through Nepal. Then doing a famously challenging and deadly summit. And then walking 4 more weeks back.
Tbf it is kind of a random challenge but in practice it means you get a combo of a very long walk through a country and the usual summiting experience, which is not something that many other people see. Its a bit sad to see how hard walking through areas is now, as he almost always has to walk on the curb of roads, sometimes highways.
He's releasing the Everest episodes still, and it's neat to see his physical suffering as well as the unique experience and sights.
Has this been attempted before? It's pretty cool that he's aiming to summit all 30 thousand feet of elevation.
Not directly, although I’m sure in earlier times some mountaineers did it for particular mountains just because it was before cars and flights and you just landed and had to walk up.
I also don’t think it’s legally or logistically possible for Mt. Vinson on Antarctica but I suppose we’ll see.
