There was obviously no safety plan. I'm sorry to say that, but it's true. I was a professional pilot for my career, and there are people that could care less about their safety briefing and the use of seatbelts, or liferafts, or anything else I thought pertinent for the safety of the flight. They were simply obstinate.

My life long goal is to selfishly climb Everest so I can brag about it at cocktail parties, how dare you criticize me.

Two places not to go...the deepest ocean....the highest mountains... pretty clear...

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

At first I thought, “climbers must have insane mental endurance to climb past corpses”. Then I realized they are literally walking in a dead man’s path. Willingly following the same trail that has killed people. That is not impressive. That’s absolutely crazy, like *actually.* Why can’t they stick to breathable, rescuable mountains? 5,000m mountains maybe? WAYYY less dangerous. The Grand Canyon has some amazing sights. Still horribly dangerous, but you wont suffocate and die. Mount Bona looks like it could be an adventure!

Selfish doctor!

NOT a tragedy...... Completely avoidable.

Not for me to decide but I think you have to return to set and records.

While I'd love to do this. Caution tells me it's too risky. I've only done real basic scuba training, and i know enough to know the dangers. Still looks like fun if you have the balls to do it.

RIP amazing man 🙏🏾❤️

How do people just disappear? If you have hired guides , why aren’t they climbing with you??? That’s the part I can never understand.

Everest is so over rated. Theres nothing even up there but a bunk of junk.

What a SHIT HOLE !! those climbers should be ashamed of themselves !!

WTF...This guy is doing a fund raiser by climbing Everest. Maybe he should have just given his fee to climb the mountain to the family.

I'm assuming Joe's body wasn't found?

Same story, over and over again. Extraordinary effort to reach the summit uses up all strength and resources, resulting in death on the descent.

Reconsider life’s choices and options . Watching mountaineers die trying to summit k2 or mt . Ever-rest Is it worth it ? Immorality is your goal . So when you die as a frozen popsicle on a frozen slope , sorry nothing to see here , move along .

It's not really a problem. Everest isn't going out to kill anyone. They all know what they are getting into. Just like you can't get eaten by a shark if you stay out of the ocean.

Theres a reason K2 isnt crowded

Why don't people of Mount Everest think about booking in advance to prevent overcrowding? Surely, there must be someway to to book in advance for each section per a day and have a max of people to climb it.

Why should it be safe? Isn't that part of the thrill?? The trash is just ridiculous. If Nepal was smart they could turn the clean up into a money making venture. As if people and companies would stop coming if they were forced/fined into cleaning up after them selves. More work for the locals doing the monitoring and clean up, paid BY those getting the permits

They knew what they were getting themselves into.

hey, peeps gonna do what they gonna do. there's no right or wrong. we all make decisions and they make theirs. like, why the fck you wanna live forever if you just wanna seat safe? We can say, oh, they can do and achieve more or less doing other things but that's their prerogative.

After conquering the world's highest n deadliest mountain...does that mean that one come back home and able to conquer all the stress at home, at work,etc 😅😅😅much better than people like us who never set foot on Mt E???

Iam so sorry for the Sherpas family…

After 30 years the only thing holding their bodies together was a wetsuit.

What a beautiful person Muhammad was, raising money for his sick mother. May he rest in peace 😢💔

Moron won his first and only Darwin Award. LOL

It's not even the tallest mountain on earth.. 😅😅😅

My name is Mathias

Rick was a beast😊

I have always heard it pronounced biv wac..😊

It is really horrify when the chopper crashes! 😢

Located in Greece.

Snap into an old rope? Mmmm, big chances there.

Nills should've NEVER continued with Gustavo, if my guide was leaving me behind, that's a huge red flag

30 years? Longest game of hide and seek i've heard of!

Everest is an ocean... and these newbie climbers have never been in a puddle. I'm all for challenging yourself, but like he said, you need to respect the mountain

Risking your life for what? Ego?

This is an update posted on Matt Eakin's GoFundMe page after the recovery attempt: July 18th, 2023by Danielle Bonnington, Organizer The following has been very difficult to write, hence my delay. Despite the most incredible efforts of the team in Pakistan, Matthew’s body was unable to be recovered and buried in February, despite our great hope and the incredible efforts of the team. The great mountain K2 has decided to keep Matthew. The avalanche and amount of snow that covered his body after his accident almost a year ago was too significant. It was simply impossible under the circumstances to find him. It was all so devastating for the team at K2 Base Camp, for our family, and for Matt’s closest friends. Safety was the highest priority at all times on the expedition, as it was for Matt on any expedition he was involved with. He would have wanted the team to be safe. I have complete faith and respect in the incredible skill and leadership of the team and its members, and that they all made the right decisions at the time. Each of the team members volunteered to undertake this expedition. That they offered this is a testament to Matt’s character and his relationships. We are just so humbled by their incredible selflessness. They didn’t all know each other (other than via Zoom) before meeting in Pakistan, and some didn’t even know Matt. He was known as a ‘master of connection’ and he connected them for this common goal. They will be forever linked to each other and to our family. The team held a beautiful ceremony at K2 Base Camp near the Gilkey Memorial, and placed a memorial plaque in an inspiring location, overlooking the Baltoro glacier and Broad Peak (which Matt had summitted in 2019). The plaque was rubbed with Australian soil, and sand from his beloved Bronte beach. It was also draped with prayer flags, an MDU shirt, and eucalyptus leaves from our garden. We remain forever grateful to Matt’s Wingmen, along with the incredibly dedicated local trekking team and porters, for all that they have done. We are particularly grateful and relieved that everyone in the team was able to return home safely to their own families. We also filled with gratitude to you all for your continued support, both financial and emotional. This expedition certainly could not have happened without you and your generosity. I have received touching messages from so many of you. Matt has connected us also. As we approach 12 months since Matt’s death, we are all moving through the many stages of our grieving and learning to live without him in our lives, whilst continuing to honour him and share our memories. We are hopeful that one day soon Matt will be uncovered and buried quickly and respectfully. Again, my apologies for not sending this message much sooner. With ongoing gratitude, Danielle and family

Every video i watch like this is mind blowing. There are literally 1000's of videos on CZcams that explain, IN DETAIL, not to fuck with this mountain. I have zero sympathy for dumb people tossing their lives away.

Im training to go to Mars and Climb Olympus Mons so I can flex on everyone. Its to bad that guy who built his own sub aint still round to weld some booster tanks onto this fuselage for me.

I could never leave my children and risk my life for a hobby. When you become a parent your life changes. I understand the sherpas and porters that are living on pennies a day looking for a better life for their children. Food and shelter cost money and you get the most money doing the most dangerous jobs. But I don't understand someone doing this for "fun" and leaving their spouse and children. It feels very selfish. I can appreciate the arguement that people knew who they were marrying when they got married but things should change when you have children under 18. That child isn't just relying on that parent for love and guidance but also financial support. FYI: I use to sell life insurance. Most life insurance companies won't cover you if you do extreme sports or life threatening hobbies. Such as flying, hang gliding or sky diving. Additionally if you did somehow get life insurance, most won't cover deaths like this.

Why are the climbs not monitored before climb.

Bring some fire crackers.

I am glad the remains were found. RIP.

saying Mikhail Hergiani came from a small country is hilarious. he was born in USSR

The overexploitation of these mountains makes me sick.

I mean you could at least attempt to pronounce Szylárd Suhajda name right. it's basic respect and it's not that hard

he guy clawed at the ice to stop the falling? why the hell were they roped together if they didn't have iceaxes????
