I think the term “unjustifiably dangerous” is a good way to describe mountaineering generally, but for a mountaineer to say that it really has to be crazy
I think it's a marvelous way to commit suicide, if you're into that. Just think.. it's generally quick and painless, there's no funeral arrangements to worry about, and you're having fun and doing what you like (if the statements of some mountaineers I've read are true) up till the last. The statistics are dreadful however, if you wish to live a longer and warmer life. I don't know...I climbed a 3000m hill once, that was enough. Never had the desire to get any higher, or go back. 🎉
That's a gnarly, brutal-looking mountain. How is that even climbable...? "Unjustifiable dangerous" says a lot about the difficulty, full of vertical slopes of rock and ice. Like Cerro Torre and the Trango Towers, most of the mountain doesn't even look possible for a human to climb.
Agreed, & I suppose I'll never understand why certain mountaineers aspire to climb such peaks. The more I think about it, I certainly don't understand the allure because just as was stated in the beginning of this video, a great deal of why some people successfully climb such difficult peaks is sheer LUCK due to the omnipresent possibility of avalanches, falling rocks, etc. In my mind, people are free to do what they want, but again...if someone successfully climbs these difficult locations, I just wonder exactly how much of the success is due to skill or just plain really good luck that they did not get taken out by avalanches/falling debris, etc.
Mate you're absolutely right. It's pot luck with some of these mountains.
Humans gonna human.
Both! All serious climbs come down to skill heredity, and luck.
@@grmpEqweer Every year on Everest for $50000 a pop.
That's a rather sad tale. Usually mountaineers are killed by their own hubris and not knowing when to turn back. These two had the sensibility to recognize when they were unable to continue, and rather than push on vaingloriously, made a more cautious decision to climb down. Unfortunately for some reason, they still died.
Continues to remind one that these mountains are capricious and even the best can die to arbitrary circumstances.
It's the problem with being mortal. You can die. It's why engaging in dangerous past-times will always be risky.
Even with proper risk management, mortality is absolute. The longer they stayed out, the more they rolled the dice.
The descent is often the most dangerous part
Hubris DID kill them...
I'm sorry, but if you're 3 days into less than 100m vertical gain, it's time to retreat to camp to rest, rethink the route, and then make another attempt relatively fresh. They'd be here today had they not been so ridiculously stubborn. That 4th (or 5th?!) day of almost zero progress is pure hubris.
There's determination that drives progress, but being blindly stubborn to one's realistic progress is what get's people killed in all manner of situations. That's where a base camp member that doesn't have summit fever is so vital, in that they can see when climbers are at an impasse & talk them into a tactical retreat.
They pushed on for several days after it was obvious that the route was impossible.
This is sad because they had recognised that it was too hard to climb at the time but the mountain still wouldn't let them go
People look at that thing and go "yah i'll climb that" absolute madness.
Yet it's thanks to people like this that our asses ever crossed out first river out of Africa
Did you watch the one also in Andes where the guy cut the rope and his buddy went into a crevice? I'm guessing "Andes cut rope mountaineering" would get you there..I think its xxx grande but not certain...SHEER MADNESS!!!! And I don't even think that for all mountaineers..
I have much respect and awe for this level of mountaineering. I’m not a climber myself but understand the draw to do something you love so much ❤️
As I said last week, it is great to learn about stories and peaks from around the world. The photos are stunning. I think it interrupts the flow of your narration to mention previous videos while telling us a new story, but others may disagree. I listen and watch them all. A good story with the same end. There are so many high peaks in Bolivia, and this route looks brutal. Thanks!
This is a terrific video, but I also found the discussion of previous climbs and even the climbing history of the men to break up my momentum in following the story.
It does inturrupt the flow a little. But it is helpful to have other videos referenced.
I’m glad for the other videos references, b/c I can checkout those other relevant vids.
Top tier content..dif delivery..dope content as always. Your vids help me decompress along w my fav leaf product. 🍻cheers.thank you for your work

I think that's what we're all doing 😂☘️🤙🥳😎
Dang. My expertise about mountaineering would have to be measured using a microscope, and just looking at the faces of Juandoy I couldn't help thinking, "sometimes, it's just not worth it." I've seen enough videos on this channel to know, though, that such extreme risk only heightens the glory of success. [when I follow these stories that have happened during my lifetime, I think about what I was - or may have been - doing on the dates mentioned. No life is boring, but some are just far more full of risk and sensation] Thanks for another interesting, tragic, and eye-opening story.
I had a friend who'd never seen a mountain in real life went to climb Mt Ranier looked at it from its base and hiked back to his car. Mountains are 100x more intimidating in real life looking up at them. Not for everbody.
lol thats a volcanoooo
He still could’ve hiked the trail to the observatory. That’s an easy climb, I did it with two unhealthy 55 years olds. Mountaineering over the glaciers is a crazy goal of you’ve never seen a mountain up close.
Wow-As a Washingtonian very familiar with Rainier, I can't even imagine never seeing a mountain up close and going for a Rainier summit🤯He made the right choice turning back! There are many 'doable trails' up there for those with limited experience, but also many trails and routes that require a bit of skill and experience. Weather changes SO FAST up there, year round..and the volcano has taken the lives of more than a couple climbers; some with plenty of experience!
Mountains are very powerful places and the home of the God's. They demand respect.
It would be interesting to know what made your friend think that he could begin his climbing career with Mount Rainier.
They knew the risks and they made their gamble. As with so many people who participate in so many extreme sports, they lost. RIP to them both.
Thanks for sharing this one, we don't hear enough about the Andes. Very sad to see these guys go down like that. Can't imagine working so hard to get close to a difficult summit just to find rotten rock and no way to complete the route. We'll never know exactly what happened on their descent, but the exhaustion and disappointment very possibly played a role. RIP
They weren't even that close, if the video is accurate. They still had 1/3 of difficult summiting left, and they were making a glacial pace. They should have turned around after their first failed, and incredibly slow, ascent up the blind alley. Even if the rock was solid, and by some miracle they managed the summit, chances are they would have died on the way down -- which is actually how quite a lot of people die on the mountains.
Close? They hadn't even reached 6000 meters. They were no where near of the summit (6,395 m).
They should have turned around days before as they were proceeding only 25-30 meters a day.
@@principecaprincipeca2243 you are correct, they should have turned around much earlier.
Globe "Planets" with oceans glued to a curved surface ? LOL 😂Here kids - Earth is a level plane comprised of fossilized flesh. The actual term is called Nucleophilic Substitution, with level Earth the Substrate. Mega titan dragon creatures 🐉🐲died here long ago, and their bodies are now limestone and granite ⛰🏔 mountains, and island chains etc. This type of creature was airborne, fire breathing and it's actual venom is where Crude Oil, Shale, and Coal come from. These Dragons (other creatures) bodies🐉are loaded with the 38 Transition Metals (e.g. - Fe, Au, Ag, Cu etc.) like the Appalachians Mts. 🏔(dragon) 🐉on the East coast USA. "Fossil Fuel" is a correct term like biogenic oil, but there is no true "Jurassic period", just the reality that ancient mega Titan reptilian creatures existed and limestone/granite mountains are the physical remains (Substrate). Go to google earth, remove borders and labels, and see the Atlas Mts. in Morocco for a starter dragon (1000 mi. baby), and notice the two colorful blue/red glands which secreted the black venom now called Crude Oil. There's also a 500 mile long fish 🐠as the Sahara Desert, leaving it's Si Silicon, and SiO2 sands laying next to that dragon as well. The east coast Appalachians/Blue Ridge Mts. are another multi head dragon, a Monster-0 type (lol) leaving shale, coal and the Mexican Gulf it's vast oil (Venom) deposits etc. The north Canadian Rockies are made of at least two separate dragon 🐉🐲creatures, leaving massive coal and crude oil (venom) deposits in Alaska and Yukon Territories etc. These mega-Titan fire breathing dragon creatures are the stuff of legends, and they are forever part of Earth Plane Topography (🐉=🏔), and our ancient level Earth's actual History. Now you know where gasoline, and metals for tooling comes from, 🐲🐉! ... Dragons !
man your channel is straight fire 🔥 love all your videos hope you will do a lot of them ! love your style
I just want to say I love your videos! Keep it up
Perfect ending to great Sunday! I am fascinated by Mountains! Praying for all involved.
mountaineering content 🤌
You have the perfect voice for this! :)
Watching all these videos of mountain climbing truly makes me want to get myself some mountain climbing stuff and head for the summit !! Nah I changed my mind I’ll just wait here 😊
Mountaineers, dry and underwater Cave and Artic/Antartic explorers are the bravest or craziest people of the 20th century. In a time with little to no instant communications these man and women truly showcased the endurance, strength and perseverence of the human race. Sure most of them were pretty well off but to witness those sights with your own two eyes (not photos) is absolutely worth the risk. To stand on the peak of those mountains and witnessing the views would be truly lifechanging for many of us 'normal' people
"Brave" has to do with risking oneself for deepest values. A friend and I having just ascended a rather dangerous little peak, discussed what courage is, realizing it is neither challenging physical difficulties, nor even exploring limits, but is doing what one believes one cannot, for love.
These other things are merely little practices. in other words, merely something one does in lieu of actual required courage. just practice to familiarize oneself with one's environment.
Public service announcement: there is nothing on a mountain worth dying for, not even CZcams views!
Thank you, and especially for the graphic help in imagining their route.
I think I could listen to you talking about anything and it would be relaxing
Ha, just checked 5 minutes ago to see if there was a new vid
lmao same
Same. His videos calm me down immensely. As an insomniac, his videos are a bless to help me sleep.
It’s “blade-like”? Yes, I’ll climb that. I’m basically a slug.
Ive watched all your vids. AMAzing stuff man!!!
Thanks for your hard work!
And for the log rhythm.
Chained to the rhythymmm
Another fine video Midnight. Thank you.....
I didn’t have to convert meters to feet this time, I like that.
dod... died on decent. the list keeps growing. peace my brothers.
Perfect perfect perfect Morbid Midnight your sophisticated tastes for obscure and impossible peaks sets you apart from everyone else you are an original!!!!
Thoroughly enjoying your videos. Thanks MM!
Your voice is menacingly pitch perfect.
Closing in on 60k!!! Glad to be back on your vids man. Took a CZcams hiatus for a while and I look forward to future content - rock still rock!!!
This channel has given me tremendous respect for the brave souls who dare to traverse these mountains, I can't imagine
Just want to say your "monotone" for some reasons has a calming effect on me, and the content is always eye-opening.
That mountain looks horrific
I like to put your stuff on and listen to it while i am woking on cleaning or something. But even though you have little motion video, the pictures you have put together of the mountains are just stunning. The arrows showing points of interest and the lines showing the routes are all thats needed. You get a feel for the mountains. Massive. Unmoving. Challenging a try. Allowing some. Claiming others.
I’m astounded they didn’t have at least one other person on the ground.
Watching these mountains I always try to imagine what distance it is these climbers are making.. What I do is looking at google earth and make a radius of the distance around my home town.. Than imagine that to a town mear me but going vertical...that is insane..
My problem is scale. I look at a route that seems reasonable, but impossible, because of the sheer size of the rock cliffs and faces. I wondered why climb in an avalanche chute, or under a serac, but sometimes no other choices. Too dicey for me. Hats off to high altitude climbers.
I think that many mountain climbers have a screw loose. I wouldn't exactly call this a disaster. This was self-inflicted foolishness.
Gaining only 60 meters in _an entire day_ would drive me _insane._ I cannot imagine doing something so painstaking and risky just to say, "first!". Because that's the only possible benefit for having reached the peak of a mountain and came back, is to say you did it.
Clout chasers are such a weird breed of deluded. (not that these guys were _only_ clout chasers: They were at least professional about the effort.)
For those that don't know the white noise is a huge key to all his videos
I play them at x1.75 without loss of comprehension, in order to neutralise the lumbering, dramatic tone. I know that some folks love that, but I'm not one. Content's good though.
one of best channels related to sad stories in mountains. Pictures are amazing. I wonder if you could make video of top 20 unclimbable walls/ sides on certain Mountains. I noticed on K2 they all climd on Abruzzi spour i guess this means other sides cant be climbed???
lets gooo late night video
babe wake up, new morbid midnight just dropped
Patagonia HAS to be the most dangerous mountain range on the planet.
Yes we’re Morbid \m/
Why don’t these guys wear parachutes? I think there would be a much lesser occurrence of extreme deceleration
trauma
Probably because of the weight if the parachute.
The Andes is a mega titan dragon's body. It's been fossilized into granite and limestone long ago (nucleophilic substitution). The mouth is the south sandwich is. and tail near Columbia. lol
Were you there when I pulled leviathan from the deep , were you there when I named the stars and set them in thier place . A piece of scripture that came to mind .

You didn’t look up how to pronounce “Huandoy,” did you
I feel like morbid midnight only uploads mountain disasters
NOT True other tragedies, not related to mountaineering as well. The mountaineering ones are my favorite because I enjoy mountaineering.
Good
and that's good. it's what he's most interested in and knows about -- other channels have better presentation for non-mountain disasters anyways
The mountain disaster videos are the best so i don't complain
Nice throw-in of the term “risk averse”! 👍🏻 You must have an economics background. 🤔 😊
Does anyone notice the gigantic humans frozen into the mountains?
I would think they were suffering from altitude sickness. Sad end.
Do mountaineers have a serious death wish?
Maybe not a wish, but they certainly have a penchant for ignoring statistics. 🎉
If you speed this up to X1.5 then it sounds completely normal
Not a big mystery. They fell doing something they knew was extremely risky.
Wisdom is knowing when to turn around.
What a sad end to life. We are given life by God and the real purpose is to give us a chance to honor GOD and accept His Son Jesus Christ. He is the only way to salvation and He died for those who believe in Him. Those who believe and are Born Again of the Holy Spirit would gain eternal life with Him in Heaven. I pray that fewer young lives would be lost to the pursuit of earthly accomplishments which are of no value to God. He is our life and our future. HE alone is the best that life has to offer. Strive for Jesus not a huge rock that holds nothing but danger!
have you heard of the metric system seppo?
I have! That's why I put the metric conversion on the bottom of the screen when I say imperial measurements and vice versa! 😄
Found the dipshit from Australia. What’s it like not being relevant and not living in a real place?
Dude I didn't find it to difficult, I was naked and just wearing my slippers.
Less than 100m all day for 4 days while stuck on the side of a frozen mountain. I don't see the point. Why try to go a route so difficult that it kills you? Just climb to the top the easiest way and stay longer, take more pictures, go home alive. ffs
Id call it Stegasauros Mt.
anybody got any good mountaineering disaster books to read?
For the algorithm 👊
No sane reason to attempt this climb. 🙈
Climbers , rock ,steel or tree all suffer a sort of insanity . Trying to sort my own out .
@@shawntailor5485 Seems death awaits ,more so,than success ! Considerations that may be ignored, probable ! 🤦🏻♂️ however to each his own. 😵💫👍🏻 somethings are impossible !
why?…
Yeti attack
K1? Where is that?
K1 is in Pakistan and is now known by its native name, Masherbrum.
Nothing mysterious about it.
Hoo-ann-doy
I don't view this kind of activity as fun or enjoyable.
How many climbers die of old age , how many would want to die shitn and pissn theirselves in an old folks home ? Like a soldier in combat it could be ones best way to go home with honor
Thx for the meters 🎉
dude this sad unreal and lazy mannerism of your voice is so cool!
it's like "hey, have another cool mountain to look at but acknowledge that they will die horrible deaths" lol
These guys are a perfect example of why you shouldn't try something life threatening if you don't know what you are doing.
More mountains
Is that a problem for you?
@@davidfeltz8697is that a problem for you if it is
😆
I have a problem with this thread.
More retards complaining
Huan[doy] and Hua[scaran] are pronounced "wha[fill in the next syllable]". DO learn native pronunciations before butchering languages for cash purposes.
Briseboy You were being helpful and I was thinking of giving you a 'like'. Then you made a smart aleck comment and I gave you a 'dislike' instead. Also, your pronunciation disagrees with several others so maybe you're the one who is wrong. Maybe there is more than one way to pronounce it. This is often the case. I doubt the narrator was trying to get it wrong just for money.
Just can’t stand the narration. Too bad- good stuff otherwise.
Yeah, I’d stay away from those Andes Mountains! 🏔️ Did you ever hear of, “Look but don’t touch?” 😳🫣
This needs to be left alone in my book. Death trap.
