I don't know how I missed this video. Annapurna 1 is strikingly beautiful, when not hidden by the clouds. Those are some hike-ups, that you have to do. When you were dangling from a rope filming, I was yelling, put down the camera! Gosh was that the only place for a tent, by a crevasse. Pretty sure I wouldn't get any sleep there. It's amazing all of the things you go through to get up there. Always nice to find a friend or two also. Stay safe & keep on keeping on! God bless!

Norrdine, what you've achieved in summiting Annapurna 1 solo, without oxygen is a far far greater achievement than Everest. You have joined an elite group and are the true definition of a mountaineer my friend on a much harder technical climb. As for Everest, (in my mind), well it's merely become a mountain tourist destination which I hate. If I had the money, I'm sure that I could pay someone to drag my sad arse up to the summit so that I could boast about it and get a bunch of internet likes. Congrats again and much love and respect from my crew here in Australia. You are inspirational to us all mate. PS. And please don't view Everest as a defeat or loss. Any loss is merely a learning curve. Take care, be safe and looking forward to hearing about your future adventures. N.

Awesome video, and nice explaining! And great to see you with Flor :) Was that Allie Pepper on the summit in the end? The views are just fantastic, what a beautiful and bizarre landscape. How does that work with your tents - do you always carry it with you from camp to camp or are they "pre-installed" in the upper camps? How much does all your equipment weigh when you start to go up a mountain? It looks like much, with all the food, gear and gas etc. And last question: I know you climb without O2. But do have a bottle with you for emergencies?
@norrdinenouar
Ай бұрын
Hey! Yes it was Allie Pepper and her Sherpas at the end on the summit. In this case I had my tent with me and carried it up. I carried two tents at once to C2 and let the C2 installed there. I carried another tent up to C3 and C4. If you have to do several rotations you can manage a nice material carry cycle. In this case everything went super fast and I was already completeley geared up on my 2nd rotation. Luckily I had done my pre acclimatization at the Thorong La Pass, so my body was ready to summit on the 2nd rotation, which is not a given. Emergency bottle: I had one last year on Lhotse and took it to Camp 4 (just in case, so I dont die at night), but I would never carry an emergency bottle to the summit. It would be way to heavy! As an experienced mountaineer you need to understand your body and know, when to turn around.... as I just had to admit on Everest, when I tried to summit.

Ай бұрын
A climber is never safe anywhere on Annapurna 1. It has a unique microclimate which produces sudden changes in weather. Besides its constant avalanches and winds that can send the climber off their feet, huge crevasses high up on the mountain can get concealed by heavy snow, making it impossible to descend.
@le13579
Ай бұрын
@@Mila_Brearey Thanks!
@norrdinenouar
Ай бұрын
Exactly what Mila Brearey says! One problem is the big "summit sickle" a lot of ice blocks and seracs collapse from it down to the glacier below, causing further avalanches that can sometimes even reach camp 2. The way up to C3 you have to move through a coloir, which concentrates a lot of avalances from an above positioned serac. There are at least 2 avalanches per day through this coloir and you have to cross it in order to get to camp 3. Its kinda a gamble. And yes, the weather as Mila mentioned is very specific. The Everest region is very dry during March, April, May, but Annapurna almost gets snow every day, since the micro climate builds big humid clouds every day.
