Nobody climbs Everest with just a couple guys. Climbing Everest is a huge undertaking and requires a large team of people! Back in the '70s and '80s, before the mountain became more commercialized, climbing teams were typically composed of around 10-20 people, including climbers, guides, porters, and support staff.
And, dude, think this through. When filming documentaries about Everest climbs, the film crews are of course extremely skilled and experienced climbers themselves. They typically climb ahead of the main team, set up cameras at various points along the route, and then wait for the climbers to pass by. This way, they can capture footage from multiple angles and heights.
Just like Everest documentaries...the camera crew for there first to set up...
