- Climbing K2 is considered one of the most difficult feats for a mountaineer to accomplish, in this story we discuss the tragic accident that happened to a couple of friends. A Canadian climber and an Australian climber, united by their desire to climb "The Savage Mountain."
“As a mountaineer, I’ve have seen the best and worst of human behavior”
Very telling
Passion unfortunately has a big dose of ego in the mix. Mountains don't kill people. Ego kills.
People at sea level don't drop dead of egos, so I guess that leaves mountains.
@@jamehofmann5855 People without big egos remain at sea level. 😂
👍👍
It's not ego, it's the "Griswold Effect". You spend all that money and put in all that effort to get to the fun park, only to find it closed. So you give it all you got just to get inside, even if it means your eventual downfall. The Griswold Effect has been the doom of many an adventurist.
A successful summit is when one ascends and descends alive……
Many fools like to overlook this. Mallory and Irvine were failures whether they reached the summit of Everest or not.
If I died on Everist I'd hope my family would be fine with leaving me there.
I had a hard time following this story. Several camps were wrongly identified.
The dialogue sounds like it was written by a mentally disabled person.
He also mentions dates but not a year, which was quite annoying
I almost never push the down button - I did now... My head still spins with confusion.
Wow. This narration sounds like it was written by AI powered by an Atari console.
So irritating. CZcams is being taken over by this stuff.
Each person chooses. When the weather goes really bad, people die climbing K2. I do not understand the mind-set that is willing to die or willing to put others at risk during a rescue when climbing a mountain.
It's total stupidity and narcissism
you can see clearly they had no thoughts for their loved one. Just push with no thought for making things good for our families.
It is sometimes so easy for people that have little or no passion to speak negatively about someone after they have died doing what brought them such happiness, people have been known to die mowing the lawn, skiing, mudbogging, and many other ways. Thank you for the video, I appreciate it 🥀
Turn back & try again another time if conditions are unfavorable. Summit fever really isn’t something to be admired
You could say the exact same thing about drug addicts and spree killers. When your supposed loved ones mean less to you than your personal pleasures, you simply are not a good person.
fentanyl brings happiness
so does unprotected sex with strangers
i'm gonna talk s**t at both funerals
Don't think one should go climbing in the Karakorams - or indeed the Himalayas - if one's family isn't OK with the possibiity of one's body be resting there forever if matter turns to the worst - one's body is just a weak shell; I'm not hinting there is anything above that either for that matter...
"Base Camp 1" and "Base Camp 4" don't make sense. There's Base Camp, Advanced Base Camp, Camp 1, Camp 2, Camp 3, etc.
Lol why do families insist on people risking their own life to save their dumbass relative?? Should be common practice to toss them off the side and leave em be
I kinda agree w you but it helps w “closure” to have the body
@@elphiegleason3899 yeahh im not a dumbass if im goin in a trip like that you have closure before u leave.... its stupid and criminal to ask someone to risk their own life for your selfishness... i wish nothing but bad on those families that pull that stunt they are just as stupid as the climber thats now polluting the mountain
They're dead now and for what? These climbers never live to say to the World they made it. They die saying to the world they didn't make it. Very sad for their families.
Is this a computer generated voice??...Something doesn't sound quite right in the terminology.
Definitely computer generated. Also generated by someone who is weak in English grammar.
It's written by chat GPT (or something like it) and uses AI to voice it. Not sure how I feel about this trend in content creation.
These videos normally don't sound this bad.
The source of tragedy was originally considered to be a fault within an individual that led to a terrible outcome. These mountain tragedies are nothing more than the hubris of individuals who think they can overcome Nature. We cannot overcome Nature, but we can, by luck, sometimes outmaneuver Nature by what we call luck, or in ancient times, by the disposition of favorable gods. The gods of Nature did not look favorably upon these misguided souls.
Thanks for the video about this.
Thanks for covering this story. They sure had some caring friends & family. Well done again🥾⛏️🏔😊⛅️
Why do these people take such chances on losing their life? Don't they value life at all? They wouldn't want their dog going up they high. Sad.
His family will easily accept the 74k donation but wouldn't even bother hiking a 7mile journey to witness his last peaceful moments...
7 day trek not 7 miles.
Why should they
The narration is all f'd up.
My man hire me to voice your videos 👍🏻
