- The 1934 Nanga Parbat Expedition was a huge expedition backed by the German government. There were 9 climbers and 35 Sherpas/porters. It would take months of preparation, before a serious attempt at the summit would be possible. But as soon as the team was ready....something disastrous would happen, and there was one man who stood above all others. This is his story...

It's like climbing a 21,000 story staircase, if the staircase was in a blast freezer, and didn't have any handrails.
This is great!
also, no stairs are actually involved 🤣
@ 🤯
Your math is off by an order of magnitude. I'm assuming you’re an American?
1 story = 10 feet
Let's try that again, we can even do it together if you want.
@@volcomstoned876 I edited the typo in, on purpose, just to bother the pedants;) lololol
I’ve often pondered how many foreigner’s lives Sherpas have saved while in the mountains. There are many examples where people had given up all hope and accepted their fate; only for Sherpas to put themselves at great risk by staying with the person and either encouraging them to continue or downright ordering them/ dragging them down the mountain- saving their lives.
I think it is currently common knowledge that the Sherpas are the most important part of any expedition with them often being responsible for saving many lives of people who would have otherwise perished if not for their strength, perseverance, determination, and empathy to ensure the safety of others who were not capable of it on their own. I could be wrong, but I do believe that many of the very early expeditions placed very little value on the lives of Sherpas and considered them to be expendable. I think they are finally getting the recognition they deserve and have most definitely earned throughout the decades in the mountains.
Thank you for sharing his story. Sherpas are the unsung heroes of high altitude mountain climbing. Without their enormous help and sacrifice very few would be able to climb 8,000 meter mountains. I just wish they were better compensated. My grandmother’s friend, in the 90’s, who “climbed” Mt. Everest was actually roped by a Sherpa in order to make it up the mountain.
Sherpas are the coolest cats I can think of. I wish I had their altitude resilience
They do not lead a very pleasant or comfortable life
If you grew up and lived at a reasonably high altitude (>2000M) you might be surprised at how much better your body will acclimate to altitude. High altitude Physiology is an interesting science
Mountaineers climb the backs of sherpas more than they climb mountains.
Sherpas are the real heroes of Everest. Everyone else is chopped liver. They would never be able to climb Everest (or any other difficult mountain) without sherpas.
i respectfully disagree, sherpas are heroes for sure but the climbers themselves are brave pioneers as well. the sherpas are far better acclimated to the mountains and have more strength and endurance . the climbers are certainly not "chopped liver". many mountaineers have climbed without sherpas. they are all great climbers and are skillful . All of the mountaineers including sherpas deserve their due.
@@kathleenthomas1971 idk for Everest climbers. As long as you have a ton of money and are moderately fit, you can climb Everest. There are literally traffic jams on Everest, and tons of people climb it every year.
Now, a mountain like Nanga and K2 are an entirely different story. Those climbers deserve some credit.
The story last month of the Sherpa picking up a climber and carrying him on his back down Everest from the death zone was amazing ,,,the climber got back to his country alive only for the Sherpa
All I know is that if a mountain is called killer or savage, I stay away from it. But on a second thought, I'd be happy to hike to the base camps of these 8000ers. And watch the climbers and mountains using my camera or binoculars.
I've heard some references to this expedition before, so I knew it didn't end well, but hadn't really heard any more in depth details from it. How utterly tragic.
What a brave soul. Thank you for sharing this powerful story with your viewers.
Besides astronauts, i cant think of a more courageous, badass group of people than Sherpas.
I just watched a fantastic 90 mins documentary by SRF Dok (a Swiss broadcaster) called Sherpas - Die wahren Helden am Everest (Sherpas - The True Heros on Everest). Apart from the times when people talk in Swiss German the auto-generated and -translated subtitles are enough to understand what's going on. It also covers the death of Gianna Goltz during that expedition in 2008. What his sherpa Mingma did in order to try and save him completely blew me away.
Awesome, heartfelt video. 💕
Thank you!
Diddo on all these great Comments! However - I'd like to point out the great, empathic voice of the narrator! He really is able to communicate his reverence, admiration, & true sympathy for the heroes in these stories. YOU MAKE THESE STORIES COME ALIVE, & MAKE US FEEL FOR THESE MOUNTAINEERS!!! 🫡👊🧗🫂👣
porter's and guides never get any recognition. At least the Sherpas get a bit.
They make it up and down the mountain more than anyone else. They are better climbers than a lot of the people who go up Everest
Another great video, Cheers
That was very beautiful and heartfelt. Thank you.
Pemba Sherpa is amazing. A true inspiration
Great videos!
Thank you!
Thank you for posting this interesting video
Thank you for your kind words!
Good show. 😊
Scary interesting also did a very good video on this topic several months back
Yes he has a great overview of the entire expedition!
It’s a lesser known or at least I think I’ve only seen those 2 about that particular incident and it’s cool to hear the same story told differently sometimes and this was certainly the case. Great work my guy!
@@jimmyjamzvids5725 Thank you for the kind words!
I was thinking optimism/happy resolution was the promise behind the "treat" :/
I'm lost.....sherpas are Tibetan ethnic groups native to Nepal. Why were they used in this expedition to conquer Nanga Parbat in Pakistan?!
Because they are incredibly experienced
Sherpas risk their lives everyday for the glory of all the climbers of the world. I feel sorry for the lives they do not choose to live.
They choose to be capitalists and make $ climbing. That's the life they chose.
Sherpa people are from Tibet and live in Nepal. Nanga Parbat is in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. It is not known as "Killer Mountain" except to slack-jawed CZcamsrs but "Diamer" (King of the Mountains) to local people.
White, rich guy with camera : look at me I’ve climbed Everest.
Sherpa : Big deal I do it all the time.
I’m sorry but you sound so much like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite it is hard not to hear it
