  • How This Highly Skilled Mountaineer Died A TERRIBLE Death
    Today, we will uncover the tragic fate of a highly skilled mountaineer who met a terrible end. Jerzy Kukuczka, Poland's respected master of the mountains, was a true force in the world of alpine climbing. With a bold spirit and desire to conquer new heights, he left an indelible mark on the history of mountaineering. Born in Karavitza, Poland, in 1948, Kukuczka's journey to greatness began at the young age of 17 when he first experienced the thrill of rock climbing. Little did he know that this initial venture would set him on a path that would shape his entire life. What led to the tragic demise of this accomplished mountaineer? Let's find out!

    Diving has a popular saying: Plan your dive and dive your plan. This is because any slight error or technical difficulty can lead to death. I feel like climbing should have the exact same warning: Plan your climb, climb your plan. Do not rely on a rope you did not inspect and purchase yourself from a store that you know is not second-hand, and if you suddenly find you have to, back out until you get a replacement and go back later. It's not worth it. Same for if you end up trying for the summit too late in the day. WAIT, or try again a different day/season.

      The problem is they get so close to the summit and that's all that matters

      I'm 100% with the diver- mine was the same, plan your dive and dive your plan! Deviation kills. Summit fever kills faster.

    Imagine the joy of staying on the flat bits of the earth and living to 3/4 of a hundred years and all things considered I might just make it for another 20 years. Mountains are lovely to look at from the bottom :)

    No one is the “Master of the mountain” - the mountain is the master and always will be.
    Too many do not respect this, even among those with experience enough to know they should.

    3:19 my goodness🤯 it obviously takes nerves of titanium to climb a vertical sheet of ice, ramming a grappling hook into the ice to ascend like this.
    I’ve always wondered; how does one know how strong such a massive sheet of ice is? How can you know it will hold your weight and not crack with every swing of the grappling hook

    I couldn't believe someone caught his entire "Grand Tour" fall on camera. That really caught me off guard. I'd never seen it before on any videos, not to mention the short 15 minute type.
    Can anyone confirm that this was his actual fall, or some other poor unlucky b*st*rd's?

      Is it worth it to put so much value on the transient existence of our life here on Earth? We can't know until it's over.
      You are the only one who can put value on your own life. But you may be wrong.

    Who made thus.
    It was narrated so stupidly.
    Yezha was a good Climber.
    He was a trail blazer
    He was a pioneer.
    He claimed mountains well.
    He made it up lots of mountains.
    This made him a good climber.
    He was great climber.
    He made great achievements.
    This made him a great climber.

      @montanasnowman3138.
      He lives in Montana.
      He is surrounded by snow
      10 months a year.
      Then the snow melts.
      He can't go hiking because
      he might get eaten
      by a grizzly bear
      It makes him bitter.
      It makes him angry.
      So he rants about a
      pretty well-done video.
      Move to CA. Take a yoga class. Hang out at the beach. Smoke a joint. Try to relax. You will feel much better.

    I’d be more impressed if these guys were doing this for a useful purpose , for training to be an elite solider at the ready to perform elite tasks for their countries. But no , for most it’s just a high . A really stupid risky one . Most to selfish to give themselves to anything purposeful, and then sad for the families that suffer from the many losses 😢

What planet you on!! Or mountain for that matter- it’s effecting your common sense, so it appears. Not sure u can compare the pointless idiocracy and risks involved of climbing K2/Everest to a person watching a video and commenting on it 😂 . I mean you did - but it’s senseless and stupid.
