As the cliche goes, “There are old climbers and there are bold climbers, but there are very few old, bold climbers.”
I've never heard that, but I like it. It kind of works for everything. I was a political aide- doesn't get much safer than that 😏- but it still holds true.
That's been used for many years years regarding aviation. I used to fly many company's plane, as did the company's owner. He was much bolder than I. Several years after I moved-on, his boldness made sure that he achieved no "oldness". Unfortunately, it ended the years of a company salesman as well. They crashed soon after take-off in Portland, OR. :(
Regardless, RIP Renato. I bought and read Jim Curran's book on the events on K2 in 1986. Renato's story has always touched me. As has the tragic story of another climber who was on K2 in 1986... Alex Lowe. He didn't pass until 13 years later (on Shisapangma), but the stories of those two great climbers have always haunted me. K2 is a stunning, yet Savage Mountain.
Wow, that expression is so true!!! I never heard it; but, I love it!
Most people say it for mushroom foragers!
My best buddy lost his life a few months ago. He was out antler hunting and got attacked by grizzly bear. I know for a fact his only wish would be to make it back home to his wife and kids. But sadly that day he did not. At the end of the day that's all any of us want. We climbed hundreds of mountains together. But we always said making it to the top was optional making it home was not. RIP Craig I love you bro
Thank you for sharing Craig’s story, and blessings to his entire family.
Poor grizzly was protecting young
So sorry about Craig. Feel terrible for his wife and four children. RIP Craig
Grizzly Bear 1. Craig 0.
@@brandonsavitski you are a sad idiot. But please tell your mom and sister the football team and the homeless camp wanted to say thanks for last night
Tragic. This hurt my heart. He was on his way home to his wife...so many people are just trying to get "home" or back to their family when tragedy strikes. My dad was hit by a semi when he was riding his motorcycle home to his family... since then I've also lost my partner of many years and know how deeply that hurt burns. I'm sorry for his wife. It could be said "he died doing what he loved" but so did my dad and that never made any of us feel better. This man is laid to rest in a beautiful place. Bless his soul and his family too. ♥
Exactly, no one wants to die doing what they love.
Thank you for sharing, and bless you!
@@saulgoodman7858 exactly. It's no consolation either. People would say "at least he died doing what he loved" yeah, well, he loved us too! He loved us more! I know people mean to be kind, and there are no "right" words, but it's definitely not something that ever makes the family feel better.
Good comment, very sorry for your losses. God bless.
@@Justicia007 thank you so much. Bless you. ♥
Well do me a favor, if i ever fall in a crevasse and i make it out but end up dying, please DONT throw my body back down in that same crevasse..I don't love the mountain that much..i never want to see that crevasse again!..bury me in a nice warm place where the sun shines every once in awhile, where the ground can claim me and my soul can rest in peace.
Yea or at least roll me down the hill to camp
Not if moving your body will be more dangerous then it’s worth for me to stay alive🤷🏼♂️✌️🖖. Cant step on those mountains without accepting that cold hard fact.
Lololol I agree with rolling me down the hill. Maybe I'll hit a bump and hydro plane back to base camp!
When I heard that part I was like "what the ever loving frick!?"
Negative.
His perseverance makes him a legend, he will never be forgotten in the climbing community,
I remember reading about this in Jennifer Jordan’s “Savage Summit”. I didn’t realize how much of a badass this dude was.
There's a fine line between a hero and a fool.
It’s always the outcome that defines how something is viewed.
Risking a lot and making it out by sheer luck- a hero.
Risking a lot and dying thereby- what a fool.
Which are you? We can see.
I so admire people like him who can do these marvelous feats. But I’m so dang glad my hubby isn’t one of them. Stay safe out there 💜
Another testimony to the fact that k2 is unlike any other mountain on the planet.
Climbing mountains like K2 just to climb them is one of the most pointless things you can do.
In your opinion
The great George Mallory once was asked why climb a mountain, in this case, Everest. He responded because it was there.
Mind sets like this are the reason why we went to the moon sent probes/robots to mars. crossed oceans to new continents
Just like your mom 😂
I‘ll never ever understand, how a dad can take that risk, after he became a father. sometimes mums, like Alison Hargrave. For the kids it must be heartbreaking!
"seeked" - I thought the past tense was "sought".
no wonder he climbed solo, he was infected with summit fever and was responsibly social distancing
I mean summit fever did play a factor somewhat but I don’t think that’s the best way to look at things. Especially when you consider the fact that at that point he was going back down the mountain after a failed attempt where he himself thought it was too dangerous for him to continue. Many climbers who end up in tragedies usually fall under the opposite category, where they are hellbent on pushing to the summit no matter what the risks or their own condition. The man has extremely good risk assessment and it definitely was the right decision not to continue climbing but sadly just a little bit of bad luck meant that he ultimately fell victim to the old saying that the descent is always more deadly than the ascent.
Seeked😬???? Please don't tell me he thinked too,🤔
Keep 'letting it ride' and sooner or later you'll lose it.
The route that Casarotto was attempting was tagged the Magic Line by Reinhold Messner.
It was an incredible feat to get to within a few hundred meters from the summit.
It’s like he forgot the summit is only halfway and not the goal
Great story well told. Thank you👍
He was one of the greats 🙏
great video, thanks for posting this.
Thank you for your support!
I don't know how I missed this one but again always thanks for sharing with us ..💯👍
This is the first one that has made me cry. So well done
skills by itself is not enough....luck is needed it would seem.
Just a friendly correction. Early on, you used the word 'seeked' but I think the correct word would be 'sought.' Dang english!
This one had me in tears we lost a great one
Hats off to the the man, but I think Nims doesn't get the credit he deserves. He is the man who climbed this very K2 in winter.
The Greatest of greatest "NIMS DAI".
"It seemed as if the mountain was howling at him...."
July is the worst time of year to climb in the Himalayas
Welcomed and "sought"
❤
We feel most alive when we are closest to death....
I herd that in a movie too what one was it
@@lamaarporter300 I read it in a book years ago sorry.. it's a old saying though
I almost drowned in Costa Rica due to a rip tide. I used to say that too. It isn't true
I died for 45mins once lol.. it's not a saying that "we enjoy being in a situation where death is the most likely ending".. but a saying of danger is enjoyable..and it obviously is.. I downhill MTB, Motorcross and ride superbikes for that exact reason.. the thrill.. gets the adrenaline pumping.. just like bunjee jumping or sky-diving.. you know that death is a possibility.. but we also know that possibility is remote.. so its fun..lol.. wierd creatures humans
@@mikemeraw1917 you surely were more alive when you were about to die, as if you were not alive or not trying to be alive for a second you would have been dead drowned.. its the courage to live another day that saved you till now..
CravAAAAS
Ah, you mean for all those courageous enough to forge their own path, like he did.
I e never been there just seen pics but it seems so vertical how do you fall “in” something. Seems falling off would be the problem
He was near the base of the mountain where the terrain was more flat.
He was crossing a glacier at the time, and they are full of crevasses (cracks in the ice sheet). Picture someone crossing a bridge over a valley.... if the bridge collapses, both you & the bridge fall _into_ the valley below. In this case he was walking across a bridge of ice, and when it collapsed he fell into the crevasse below.
@@TerrorTwin your answer makes more sense. Thank you
8:55 - Rucksack- Backpack... if you're British
Just felt so sad when he died. Why was he not watching out for the Crevasse as a rule all mountain climers do???????
He was watching for it. When he fell into the crevasse, he was crossing a snow bridge that went across it or whatever, but because of the storm, the bridge was unstable and it collapsed and he fell in. He knew it was there, I think so anyway, but the snow bridge collapsed or gave way or whatever.
@@MariaAbrams you are correct. The snow bridge located on the De Filipe Glacier had become unstable due to a storm. Which collapsed under Casarotto’s weight.
How do you look out for something that’s “hidden” you can’t see if the snow bridge is weak or strong sometimes you just fall
How did his body surface in 2003?
I thought the same thing
Summit fever....not good
The more you repete an action, let alone a dangerous one, the more chances are it will go right and (not or), it will go wrong. So do what you love always! R.i.p. Mr. Alpine 🙏
K2🗻My home town Pakistan🇵🇰
There is no town or village near K2.
Welcomed and SOUGHT not seeked.
Annapurna is the deadliest mountain, K2 is second
2:04 - _sought*_
Your cover pic is absolute nonsense. K2 is well above the treeline, so your choice of a picture of a snowfield with trees makes it difficult to take you seriously.
Nims is a scam
These people are just not very bright
K2 is not the most dangerous in the world
What is antler hunting, you just destroy a poor animal for his antlers. Sorry for the loss of your loved one but karma can be a bitch. Was his life worth these antlers? I don't think so.
Hunting for sheds.
Like Jay said, the antlers which are molted can be picked up as a "trophy". A good reason to walk in God's country. ;)
You probably commented this using a phone made by some 9 year old sweat shop worker
@@DrewIbarra714 don’t try to distract. Typical tactic when you don’t have a good argument.
Antler hunting is looking for antlers that the animal has shed for winter. No gun required!
I am not a climber. I think that K2 should be closed for climbers because its to dangerous to climb.
They need to end it for people who aren't qualified but the very poor nations which host the 8000ers are poor and count on tourism dollars. The man was a beloved and respected mountaineer and while a tragic loss the inherent risks are understood by any daring the heights.
No with that mindset we should close all mountains then they are all dangerous
Not to be insensitive but if they were closed we wouldn’t have these incredibly exciting stories to hear and read and let’s be honest if they always ended well we wouldn’t be watching 😮
Close all roads then. There are way more deaths driving on highways and roads. Just walk
I'm sorry.... Did he say they rolled him back into the crevasse?
Too much ego.
