My First 6000m Peak Island Peak Nearly Broke Me after a 14 Hour Mission

This video captures our full Island Peak (6,189m) summit push — from base camp to the top and back in a gruelling 14-hour climb. It was our very first mountain over 6,000 metres, and both of us battled altitude sickness along the way. My wife, Esther, was hit even harder by the altitude, but somehow we both pushed through to reach the summit.

There’s no narration — just the raw journey of the hike and climb itself. If you’re planning your own expedition to Island Peak, I highly recommend checking out Royal Holiday Adventures.
