A Number Of People,

have climbed Mount Everest,

 about 4,000 have actually reached the summit, but the number that have climbed it twice to reach the summit is a lot fewer,

but adventurer and filmmaker Elia Saikaly has reached the summit twice, and has actually attempted to scale Mt. Everest seven times,

and in these few time laps GIFs,

he shows us a brief look at the mountain and his stays there,

and better still he has made a short film of footage from a decade worth of trips to Mt. Everest and the Himalayas, the collected time-lapse videos explore several aspects of the climb, from shots of lights inside the small tents pitched for frigid nights, to brilliant star formations and unexpected waves of cloud cover, and I have to admit I am so jealous of the night sky with no light pollution, You can read more about his adventures, and the making of this video in particular, on his blog, and also as a real bonus to aspiring photographers he gives details of the camera settings he used to take his pictures.
