1. Hi Robert

2. Is this mount Everest?

3. Nice arrest!

4. The spike on his right boot got caught on the bottom of his left trouser material.

5. All Praise and Thanks to the Creater Allaah ☝️🕋.

6. Good that he survived but at 0:30 it seems he held his ice axe incorrectly i.e. with pick pointing forward instead of backward. That's why he had to arrest the fall with adze and not the pick, I guess he's lucky to be alive.

7. Ледоруб не привязан каска на рюкзаке. Просто без мозгов человек

8. This is why you don't stop and have a laugh on the mountain.
   Heck.. the only time you should speak is when asking for help, or shouting that rocks fall from above.
   If your concentration is 99%, then you will probably end up in situations like this.
   He was lucky. But he was stupid, and almost paid the price.

9. Been on that arete
   It’s nuts

10. Mont Blanc tops the number of people killed on a mountain. Roughly 60 people a year…..the total runs into the hundreds….

11. Just don't get offended, You won't be able to regret it for more than a few seconds

12. Do we not have his GoPro footage?

13. people don't get happy from being rich, but from thinking about becoming rich one day

14. The lesson appears to be, when you're wearing crampons, don't step down on the side of your foot. No traction.

15. awkward lol

16. Imagine if this went worse, you're talking to your friend then a couple seconds later boom he plummets to his death, its scary to think about.

17. "Nearly falls to death" Lol! C'mon man, people are snowboarding on that slope, hehe😎

18. 0:56 and that's why you need to cut your crampon straps short.. He trips over it and then ties it the same way..😔

19. Holy scary af! That was nerve-racking just watching AND knowing how it ends from the title. Props for keeping his body on center ridge! 👏

    Phew!

20. Camera man didn't even flinch ahahhaha dude

21. live on the edge for a fulfilling life

22. I can totally relate to this. I did the same climb wearing flip flops a few years ago. One of them slipped off and I saw it tumble out of sight. To prevent frostbite I had to hop down on my one foot that had the flip flop on.
    After that day I've always worn the appropriate sandals.

23. It's enough to miss one step and if you fall you are dead, you will survive the first times you hit the ground but you will keep accelerating, after a few seconds you gained so much speed that the next time you hit the ground you will probably die, and there's still a long way to go to reach the bottom.

24. Nice to see the gopro on his head instead of the helmet.

25. You went out looking for trouble, there you go..

26. Uhhhh that was either staged or over-dramatized. 😂 what moron brought this moron onto the mtn

27. Il est parti du pied amont !
