It definitely isn’t the most expensive sport, have you heard of car racing ??, also some emtb bikes and road bicycles cost more by themselves than all the gear you’re talking about, Love the videos and the content, not hating just commenting that each of one of us thinks our sport is really expensive, but I think kart and car racing wins all

Comment from : @rockymatthews8643

9:14 Thanks for mentioning that! I asked myself that question from the beginning of the video, since I heard only a couple of days ago, the increase is so much!
Comment from : @mcbrite

No idea how i ended up here but, within a week you've inspired me to start climbing, at 28 years old Just not sure which one to start with

Comment from : @m1dtier

well done kid for you achievement I wish you will come to Pakistan for K2 or other expeditions in future
Comment from : @vajahatalee

I think Formula 1 is bit pricier sport Developing new car is $400m, single car after it is developed is $22m Crash engine and you are looking at 12-18million alone Front wing is 250000
Comment from : @djremotion2

I'm not going to besmirch anyone who attempts this monumental moment in time/lifeBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTI just dont get the risk/reward for this whole life-threatening endeavor, just to stand on the top of a snowy hilltopand give it the same quality time that Clark Griswold gave the Grand Canyon in the movie National Lampoon's Family Vacation
Comment from : @ResolUloseR

There is no way that you paid for this trip from your YouTube account alone your parents gave you the money dude 😂😂😂 150 k from YouTube videos ?
Comment from : @montanacameltoe3257

Clearly family money but freaking awesome to do that at 19
Comment from : @danch10

I have been following mountaineering for along time Some of the best most informative vids I have come across Your Everest vid was the nest I have seen representing a climbers perspective Keep up the good work and be safe out there
Comment from : @papagarouge

I don’t think I’ll ever climb Everest knowing how much I hate the cold and I care about my life But around the time you posted this video, I thought of going to see the solar eclipse a few hours away from home I didnt plan on it at first, but the more I kept on thinking about it more, my gut was telling me I should go Did it and never regret it It was so beautiful I plan on seeing another one in the future
Comment from : @TheWutangclan1995

Seriously watch this kids other mountain climbing videos hes almost killed other people multiple times but he had no issue saying all the money he's spent
Comment from : @neemz0117

Mountaineering isn't remotely as expensive as motor racing or equestrian
Comment from : @evangibson8020

Respect and also love your content!
Comment from : @kittywafffles

In the final days of your life you will probably not remember a Corvette you bought at 60 - but you will remember that journey You made the right call And look - now you have a massive YouTube and still can retire with a Corvette at 60 😂 keep it up brother
Comment from : @papi_crocs

That’s a nice condo or down payment for a nice rental property
Comment from : @dragonprince8698

Stupid better donate money
Comment from : @Mantaskarbelis

Bro paid 12 grand to not reach the top of a mountain
Comment from : @DaneSauceCity

Don’t mean to judge, but you seem to have ZERO concept of the value of money homie
Comment from : @DaneSauceCity

bro wrote the whole thing off 🤣🤣 pretty smart
Comment from : @giomumladze1843

You made the right decision to spend the money on your dreams
Comment from : @steve-o254

I work for 8 years in 3rd world country, and i have only 10k savings
Comment from : @loydloydloyd

People dream of this when they retire You’re doing it now Nice
Comment from : @JamesH-v3g

IMO 12k for Denali actually isn’t bad at all
Comment from : @TheCosmicGuy0111

lol I spent 80 bucks including everything to get up the Cerro Acotango (20000 feet / 6052m) between Bolivia and Chile
Comment from : @alexanderdueser

oh wow, another rich kid that thinks he’s special, congrats you summited a mountain thousands of other rich assholes have done Nepal hates you
Comment from : @yeetyeet3726

Just a question how much was the license to climb Everest
Comment from : @Nova_4444

how tf you have this much money at 19? teach me
Comment from : @highdesertbiker

You made content while climbing Everest… It’s definitely a business expense
Comment from : @andrewwilkey6195

Rich kid wastes money so he can risk his life and be able to say the sentence "ive climbed mount everest", without proper experience and thinking him and the people around him will be the exception and won't diebrThe fact you know people will die/saw corpses and thought it was still worth it just for the sake of accomplishing it is disturbing honestly
Comment from : @samc5602

Nice video brother
Comment from : @sinacetinkayadir

Bro Please stop saying (mountain climbing is the most expensive sport in the world)😂 You don’t know how much it’s going to cost you to be ready for cars racing😅
Comment from : @ahmadjabbar5957

Hell yeah, worth it
Comment from : @Fallkhar

The climb itself is so risky and full of danger Many die
Comment from : @artus198

My young friend, you have done what most of dream of The money spent was on the dream tuned reality! brHard work, being fit, and the dedication to making that sh*t happen! brSo pumped for you dude!
Comment from : @kevin-haggerty

Comment from : @claireannejames

Comment from : @darionpeters9531

Nineteen? Impressive amount of knowledge and communication skills for his age!
Comment from : @aallen681

You did it because you are a rich kid who doesnt know what to do with all that money
Comment from : @lovewolf4103

20k for the top of the sport isn’t very expensive lol
Comment from : @breaklessbeauty679

I think you'll still be able to retirebrbrYou'll just have to settle for a Prius, though
Comment from : @velocirapture89

Congrats! I would LOVE to climb Everest A wise man once said: memories made are BETTER than material possessions 😎🇺🇸
Comment from : @limitlessluis

Id say technical scuba diving and Motorsports can get equally expensive but 150 grand is crazy 😅
Comment from : @plexycraft4136

You spent that much because you're a pussy
Comment from : @Siddhanta8905

This investment was the best You did it we all saw it Don t think about it It pays off
Comment from : @christiankocevar6791

bWhats wrong with kids these days? Instead of spending $150k on getting laid, they are climbing some mountain? lol/b
Comment from : @ak_naral

Not saying it's totally wrong but would not draw attention to it
Comment from : @JeanTripleSB

Lol! Tax accountant heretake that part out! 😉 I loooooooove your videos!!
Comment from : @JeanTripleSB

At least you’re recouping some making all of these videos!!
Comment from : @cgbach

When i got recommended your Short i thought you were „just another idiot on everest“, but you had me at the 5 minute mark, saying you trained Even being coached by Alan Arnette Good on you, if everyone approached their high altitude debut like you did, there would be a lot less trouble on the mountain Also heads up for the transparency and honesty
Comment from : @Bemoderso

Hi Ryan, why do you prefer Denali vs Aconcagua as a training step? Thanks and awesome content!
Comment from : @fernalication

no way this guy climed everest and has a famous minecraft channel AT 19? crazy stuff
Comment from : @UnboxingCassie

The fact you made the money from Minecraft you tube is so wholesome, and the fact you used the wholesome money to do something so challenging is so inspirational, AND ALL THIS BEFORE AGE 20?!?! You're a legend good sir, and I'm excited to see what other amazing things you have in store!

Comment from : @JamesonMcKinney-qr6rj

Comment from : @wide_awake

Respect to you dude!! Holy shit man
Comment from : @jacksondickery509

I think base camp would be enough for me tbh The overall risk and cost associated just doesn’t do it for me
Comment from : @vicchioblack2214

bro really pulled out the minecraft channel LOL I did not expect that
Comment from : @KQKQ23

😂😂 paid no taxes You speak very well, keeps me hooked Still watching the 4 hrs video, enjoying each day of your climbing trip I wished I'd known about Everest base camp trekking when I was younger Now I enjoy watching Himalaya climbs and trekking
