May we please ask for better audio? Sorry, but it sounds like a patchy phone connection. Thank you
You should have way more subscribers the content is awesome fella
😭😭😭
“The mountain is calling me to climb it.”😂 That mountain is telling me to stay the F away. No trees, no animals, no oxygen, no heat, no thanks.
😂
😂😂
No shit😂
Good job.
Two facts about the Savage Mountain:
1.) More people have been in space than on its summit;
2.) Statistically speaking, four people go on a K2 expedition, and three come back
Those are odds I’m just not okay with!!!!
2) Is not quite true, it's for every four successful summits, 1 person dies, but there could be 100+ summit attempts not counted for.
I don’t even like my odds when I board a plane. 😭😭😭
Later that summer another 10 climbers would die attempting to summit K2 making 1986 one of the deadliest seasons in K2’s history. Kurt Diemberger wrote a book about his summit attempt where 5 climbers would die called the Endless Knot
You do a fantastic job of humanizing the people involved without judging them. Thank you.
People judging mountaineers are the first driving their car at 120kmh on the freeway to go to the McDonald's
Agreed.
I can’t judge. I skydive. I do think it’s insane because I freaking hate to be cold and I’m cold all the time. Plus I am a very low altitude person having always existed at 600 feet above sea level roughly.
Colorado kills me and I’m in a car!!!! With heat 🤯 I couldn’t do this but I have mad respect for those who do. So long as they don’t do what these recent guy did. Got carried down by his Sherpa and didn’t even thank the man for literally saving his life. He bragged about making it and never acknowledged he only did because he was flat out carried down inside his sleep bag on the back of the Sherpa rescue
Chilling. I mean it was very cold up there. Great story.
Sounds like a classical case of high altitude made some persons take bad decisions. Due to those decisions, it also sounds as if none of them would've made it down alive if it hadn't been for the, not Alpine-style, other climbers on the mountain with their tents, and stoves etc.
Anyhow, I firmly believe summiting a mountain is like reaching the halfway point in a marathon, it doesn't really matter, unless you also make it down alive.
Completely agree!
Wanda, who reached the summit quickly (fairly so), survived although seriously injured. The Bernards who were slow --- most of them died. I think the speed is indicative of physical reserves and reduces the times spent in the death zone (or at least in the summit environment). They were all caught in the death zone in a 8300 m camp for 1 night but Wanda was exposed less to even worse altitudes and had physical reserves
Any time I hear that people scracked just enough cash to go to the hymiliayas. It make me nervous because summit fever and the pressure of maybe only have one chance at it. Means that you would almost do anything to get to the top. God frozen on the side of a hill forever
I believe that I heard in a documentary that summitting is about 1/3 of the road, not even half.
Because most die on the way back. Died on descent is on every plack they made for all those who perished
Bad decisions, things never seem to end well when that happens on high altitude climbing. It's got to be frustrating when reason goes out the window and you're somewhat in a predicament because you're with other people.
Thankyou, your very easy to listen to , I love these type of videos, but sometimes the delivery can be very flat & difficult to listen to , you’ve got it just right , look forward to the rest of your videos 😊
Thank you!!
Thank you TT
Hey, let’s go climb Everest with no oxygen cause we is in a hurry. Stupid is as stupid does 😐
Good Lord! It's not supposed to be funny but....
This is K2, not Everest. Many people have done it, scholars as well.
Play stupid games..
Glad I found your channel and I love all the different content you're putting out.
Can definitely see the resemblance to the Scary Interesting channel esp in the intro. Echoing one of the earlier comments around images and some work can be done around pacing with the VO as well, but I'm subbed and looking forward to seeing more stuff you put out,
Good one!
Thanks for sharing 🙂 love your channel 💯
Thank you!
@@TerrorTwin ♥️💯 have a great Sunday evening!
The Odds were against all of them. It’s an unspoken rule. Sleeping pills, low on food and altitude sickness. Who was in charge here?
K2 nights are dark and full of terrors.
You know nothing I don't know.
Summits should only count if you make it up and all the way back down alive lol
Agreed
Definitely
I agree with your comment, except for the “lol”. Bit harsh…
They do. Even though Liliane Barad was the second woman to reach the top, after Wanda, it is not counted as a successful summit.
Facts
@TerrorTwin, I would be interested to see a video on Wanda herself, as she has a tragedy of her own. Keep up the good work.
The worst day in K2 is as good as its good day
K2 are the danger mountain on this planet
Very danger mountain
I'm sure they'll come down when they're ready.
Like cats in a tree 👍
I know my limits, i'm going to stay alive until i die of old age pooping myself...doesn't sound great either..hmm
But you have a lot of good years until then. Cherish that time :-)
Eat a lot of Taco Bell throughout your lifes journey to old age along the way Josh The Mediocre.
If you’re lucky you can grow old without pooping yourself!
The best option of the two 👍😝
K2 Is Best ♥️
I don't think summit should count if you don't make it back to base camp. All the importance seems to be on the summit, then they get complacent and sick and make mistakes on descent.
Misplacing their money and passports was a sign from the gods to stay home.
After watching every single video you have on this topic I want to know a couple things…
Why are the deaths at Denali so much lower? Do fewer people attempt it ?
Is the extreme requirements of the permit save inexperienced climbers from even getting in it ?
And why is it listed so low when the actual climb is so much more than the famous 8000 footers? I still can’t believe the hiking distance for Denali. It’s insane. If I recall it’s 25% more hiking because it begins at such a lower altitude plus the 2 week walk to get to the mountain…
I don’t get it. Seems Denali should be a cemetery
Denali is well below the death zone. I'm not saying Denali is safer but there's that.
@@GencaySoykan oh ya much lower. But it’s so much more distance. Idk I get very fascinated by interesting things I can not even begin to think of doing. And what makes people tick and do things so incredibly difficult… Denali puzzles me .
@@israelizzyyarrashamiaak766 same to be honest. Even if I had the opportunity I would just enjoy the mountains from the base camp. Also, I think the Himalayan 8 thousanders attract more people and since it's really expensive to even reach there they get summit fever and summit at all costs. The death zone impairs even the most hardcore climbers' judgment greatly. It appears most of them reach the summit exhausted and perish on their way down.
Hmm kinda makes me question who came first u or scary interesting???
Extrembergsteiger sind oft sehr egoistisch (Wanda hätte mit Lilian gemeinsam die erste Frau auf dem Gipfel sein können...) oder müssen es des Überlebens wegen sogar sein. Ich könnte das nicht...
A ridiculous "sport" for people who are strangers to risk analysis.
Cellphone with GPS back then? Lazy stock footage.
😭😭😭
Why did she leave the kitchen?
She burnt a casserole and needed time to air out the kitchen.
With respect.....decisions were poorly made....
Wanda is well
Known for leaving climbers on mountains. And ungrateful. Ask ed visteurs
They admit to not payin much attention and they kept walkin away from them knowing they were struggling?
Most sports are usually full of folks who have a lot of compassion for the guys in their team and when it comes to Leavin someone behind its pretty unheard of in other dangerous hobby’s.
This sport is full of selfish people who justify their actions with “nothing we could do” or “they knew what they got into and what could happen” or whatever else.
To me it’s crazy that so many people have just left a person or group behind when the possibility of their death was nearly 100% if they didn’t try to help them. I could never live knowing I didn’t do everything possible.
Make sure if ur go up a big hill that you pick the right team of mountaineers.
I think they did help the Barrards, it's just that the Barrards needed more help than what Rutkiewicz, and Parmentier was able to give. All 4 of them chose to climb without supplementary oxygen, so the high altitude presumably in various degrees affected everyone's ability to think clearly. They did stay with the Barrards when the Barrards on the way down from the summit, again decided to put up the group's tent inside the Death zone at 8,300 metres.
Already there, Rutkiewicz, and Parmentier put their lives at risk by staying with the Barrards (leaving without having a tent with them would've also been a risk, but I presume that the more time spent in the Death zone, the less likely you are to make it down alive).
Presumably all 4 of them helped pack the little that needed packing the next day, which also presumably meant the Barrards was ready to start their descent earlier than if they'd had to do it just the two of them. Rutkiewicz did stay behind with the Barrards presumably for as long as she could, and also, leading the way in snow takes more strength than walking in someone's footsteps/trail, so by going first, Parmentier made it easier for the Barrards to descent. Parmentier also chose to stay behind waiting for hours in the next camp for the Barrards to arrive, after that Rutkiewicz + others left the camp, and despite the worsening weather.
So altogether, they did do things to help the Barrards, but at an altitude where it can take a person hours to simply move themselves a few hundred metres forwards, there's limits to how much (or little) one person can do to also help someone else to move forward together with themwelves.
To add to that, if the barrards collapsed due to exhaustion there would be nothing they could do to help them down without freezing to death themselves.
If you have a 0.1% chance of dying in order to have an 80% chance of saving someone's life, go for it. But up in the death zone, it's more like you have a 50% chance of dying in order to have a 10% chance of saving someone's life. Those figures are made up, but illustrate the dilemma. Take Ger McDonnell as an example, who died on K2 due to staying back to help others.
What do you think they would have accomplished by staying with them, other than putting themselves at greater risk?
@@chrimony well not much Probly. I’m aware that I most likely would also have died. But I couldn’t have lived with myself after abandoning them, It is just that simple.
Why are you showing a cell phone with GPS? We didn’t have this technology back in 1986. You need to do better with correct film and pictures
😭😭😭
Nobody cares! Blah blah blah!
