Famous German Climber DISAPPEARS on Kangchenjunga in 2023| Luis Stitzinger Tragedy

- In 2023, high up in the Himalayas, Luis Stitzinger set out on a daring journey to conquer Kangchenjunga, one of the tallest mountains on Earth. He'd climbed many mountains before, but this one was different. It was his biggest challenge yet.
As Luis made his way up the icy slopes, the air grew thinner, and the wind howled fiercely around him. Yet, his determination never wavered. He had a fire burning inside him, driving him forward step by step.
But just when it seemed like he was on top of the world, tragedy struck, and there was nobody there to hear his screams except for the wind howling around him…. This is his story.

one of my favorite channels, thanks for the content. Keep it up and i’ll keep watching til the end
If you get bored or run out of stories for climbing and caving (wet & dry), don't forget that you can cover hiking trips gone wrong/disappearaces, missing people during travels, fishing/ocean/boating accidents on small/large/cruiseliners, maritime accidents (on & under the water), people going out for "walks" and never coming back and so much more. You have a nice general title for your channel so if you ever decide to expand, you should be able to do that by "introducing" different segments like "Hiking Accidents" or "Hiking Disappearaces" Episode #1 or use the person's name IF they don't mind their story being told. I wish more people would see your channel. You do a great job. I hope you keep up the good work but don't burn yourself out!
Thanks for another one! You gotta do a video on Wanda! She's been mentioned a good three times now!
8:09
At the risk of being considered “picky”,etc.(who cares)
that should have been
8400 meters,
not 8400 feet.
The base of the mountain is around 5160 meters which is almost
17,000 feet.
He started his push for the summit at 6pm from his base camp
at a height of about 7,600 meters and reached the peak at 5pm
on May 25,2023.
He last communicated via radio at 9pm later that night.
After that,
they lost all contact with him.
After Stitzinger failed to return to base camp,
unsuccessful efforts were made to locate him by GPS.
Due to extreme weather conditions at the summit,
a rescue team did not set off until four days later.
He was 54.
RIP.
2:06 You confused his surname Chamoux with the name of the French city of Chamonix.
Think you meant to say 8400 metres, not 8400 feet. At that altitude he wouldn't be at basecamp.
Personally, I don't believe there are too many things that are worth your life so I can't understand these risks. However, I admire their physical ability, tenacity and courage. I am also sorry to hear when anyone does not make it.
The summit of Kangchenjunga is not at 8586 meters altitude, it's at 8586 m elevation. Altitude is in the air, elevation is on the ground. Airplanes, birds, hangliders, etc, are at altitude; climbers, boulders, seracs, etc, are at elevation. Airplanes fly at altitude, airports sit at elevation. HAPE and HACE are incorrectly named, unless you experience them while flying, of course.
You're being pedantic. In the climbing world you say you're at an altitude of, not an elevation. You're technically correct but mountaineers will say e.g The South Col is at an altitude of 8000m not an elevation, plus HACE and HAPE are the official medical terms. No-one says a person died of High Elevation Pulmonary Edema, it's the altitude that kills you. You're literally climbing to an altitude where commercial airliners fly. The mountaineering world are not going to change their terminology to placate you!!!
@@timedwards5734 And you're feeling the need to be right, even though you aren't. Did you actually read my post, because I addressed all the things you're trying to take me to task for. The entire point of my post is that "altitude" is being used incorrectly, however common. Did I ask for the lexicon of the mountaineering world to be changed (I'm sure you can't wait to correct people who ask for a Kleenex instead of a tissue)? Of course I didn't, and you're just looking for something to be offended by, something to be right about, something to pick a fight over. Go infer outrage and indignation somewhere else, you clearly aren't built to understand a concise, well-articulated argument.
You are swimming upstream
@@freefall9832 this is why i generally avoid the comments section
I really enjoy listening to your narrating.
So tired of this guy's videos, Mr I'm the best and always have the most interesting stuff. Your responsible for so many hours I'll never get back because I couldn't stop watching.
@GoEducateYourself
I’m not sure but I think he was trying to be funny…
or something.
Either way,
their statement was pretty nonsensical.
@GoEducateYourselfno I definitely like him, I was doing one of those joking around things people used to do all the time back in the old days, I believe it was also known as being sarcastic. I apologize, I realize in 2024 that stuff is not allowed.
@@brian140713 How dare you. Millennials, and especially Gen Z-ers, really struggle with nuance and/or subtlety. If you aren't literal with them you can watch their brain melt just by their facial expression.
@@brian140713 Excuse me, I'm looking for Amanda Huggenkiss ! Do you have Amanda Huggenkiss here?
Hahah i was stuck with two other creators, i think one is called adventures gone wrong or something and now this one just got added to the list. It is fascinating and very addictive.
You do one on Ueli Steck yet? Love the vids.
Ueli's death was a strange one. No-one knew he was going to attempt a speed ascent of Nuptse that day.
I think he was part of a team looking to be the first to climb from the summit of Everest and across the ridgeline of Lhotse and Nuptse. The Triple challenge.still hasn't been accomplished as far as i know.
Ueli normally told other climbers of his plans but his speed ascent of Nuptse seemed to almost be a spur of the moment decision. To do the triple ridge traverse you would summit Everest first and then follow the ridgeline of Lhotse and then Nuptse as doing it that way means you are descending to a lower altitude. Nuptse to base camp would be far less tiring than doing it the opposite way and descending from the summit of Everest back to base camp!.
It was a tragic end to the life of an incredible Alpinist
I'm confused, at one point he says he descended to where his skiis were and stopped to put them on. Then he says he lingered near the summit and was found with his crampons on?
Hi, I'm looking for Amanda Huggenkiss ! Do you have Amanda Huggenkiss here?
Didn't he put his skis on but was found with crampons on?
I roll my eyes every time I hear "conquering a summit." So, you bested the mountain, did you? No, you got lucky. Scrambling up and down a mountain before it has time to kill you, and boasting - is like a flea declaring he "conquered" the cow.
Pushed too hard, should've turned back at noon.
He had to know that. He decided to push a envelope that was already paper thin.
Rest in Peace Sir
I dont thin no one should climbe any mountain with fatality rate around 20-25%, meaning that roughly 1 out of every 4 or 5 climbers who attempt to summit do not survive the climb. Thats just to high rate and there is nothing shoking if they die up there.
Really poor documentary, littered with fundamental inaccuracies and short on facts.
Dude, your map at 0:56 is wrong, Mt Kangchenjunga is in the Sikkim region of India. Which is to the east of the map of Nepal you've shown.
Edit: I hope he didn't summit this mountain to the actual peak, that's very disrespectful for Mt Kangchenjunga. It's expected that climbers stop 50m prior to the peak out of respect; although, even climbing on the mountain at all disrespects the culture of the local people. I suppose this is the compromise that Sikkim has made in becoming a tourist hub of India.
1st, thanks Terror Twin.
try research of how to pronounce names...
