So wait, once again.. I find out.. "I am not the only one" who has discovered this strange obsession with mountaineering disaster videos. I'm not quite sure what to make of it yet. Am I destined to climb a 8k peak, or is this just my new way of harvesting dopamine on the daily? I dunno, but the journey has begun!
Haha, I have the exact same thoughts 🤔
I'm with you John. Maybe we were mountaineers in a previous life? I wouldn't want to do it in this life. Maybe it killed me in my last one?!
I have too it started with diving ones now these ones lol.
@@terariabros8725 I'm back to front. Looking at the diving ones now. I think we like them because you kind of get the fear without that awful adrenaline rush/death!
"every dead body on Everest was once a highly motivated individual" lives rent free in my head watching these videos
True.
😂
Something to be said for being feckless and lazy then.
My heart goes out to the rescuers who risk their lives to save others.
I hope the rescuees or their estates pay the bills!
@@RideAcrossTheRiverunfortunately there are some debts that cannot be repaid
@@kamakaziozzie3038 Estates and fines can pay them.
Casserado climbing solo is just insane
He almost made it
@@regppMD 'almost made it' means he died though in this instance, right?
Suicidal
I am obsessed by these mountaineering vids ...I dont even remotely understand the need to summit a mountain who clearly doesn't want to be summitted as it tries to kill u.
✊🏾👊🏾💥...🤦🏿♂️
Agreed. The harder I try to understand this fascinating obsession, the more I am determined to accept that this sport is not for me.
@@asafaust8869 me too ..all pain ,no gain ✨️
They’re challenging nature !? Who does that ?
@@malc2719 and nature challenges us right back
Bad weather coming in later today. That's alright we will travel fast and be down before the bad weather arrives. Last words of many deceased climbers.
Unfortunately that's so very true.
As soon as I hear “alpine style” I know they’re totally fucked.
Ok franky
The rescuers have my endless respect.
old comment?!
Let ‘s not forget the Rescuers, who put there life on the line, absent ego, to save a fellow human being! They remain anonymous.
Love this!
Any reasonably fit yuppie with a treadmill, REI gear, and a wad of cash can make it up places like Everest. It takes a real b@da$$ to get someone down the mountain and I tip that my hat to these people. Rescuers and the Sherpa are way more interesting to me than 90% of the actual climbers.
Normal, that's what ppl do.
@@Bob-kk2vg there's a great doco on Sherpas and I will try and find the name for you ....its incredible what they do and their ethics are incredible
@@Kenzie_McIntyre that sounds super interesting! If you remember please let me know! Thank u 🙏
I love these high mountain docs. I don't know why...
Me too, I have no desire to do this but, the video docs, I'm crazy about...
I prefer just staying at my cozy home to venturing to climb up those mountains. This kind of mountaineering is beyond my imagination. In spite of this, I enjoyed this video.
A friend got found dead in his tent on this mountain from a heart attack. The last time I saw him was when we were at the lost valley at Glencoe Scotland a really nice guy that died what he loved doing. Thanks for the memories Malcolm. R.I.P.
My condolences to you an his family. I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss.
My condolences
I’m so sorry for your loss.
How old was he?
For casserato, at least he was pulled out of the crevasse before he died which must've been much less scary for him.
"Seeked" is not a word. The past tense of "seek" is "sought".
Yes your right , but dissing someone for their choice of words is ten times worse , correcting is not relevant, makes you sound like a snob.
lol bruh you’re way too sensitive.. there was no “dissing”. 🤡
Oooooh God- an English Major 😂
@@ryanhartley7896Not really. The English language is kind of important when your job is narration. One would think he'd appreciate any help he could get. What's really worse is this weird need to defend youtubers against things that aren't any kind of attack & don't require defending. It's far too common & exceedingly annoying 🤷🏻♀️
Voice is soothing af. All his marathons are my sleep playlist! ❤
Same! I have recently developed an obsession with these videos....but I do think it's affecting my dreams!
I spent a summer living in Talkeetna, Alaska, where most Denali Climbers start out from. I got to know Taras Genet, son of Ray "Pirate" Genet, and at one time, the youngest person to summit Denali (he was 12 years old). I've personally been on glacier flights around the mountain, and got to know a fair number of people who climbed it. Just looking at Denali from the distance of Talkeetna, it appears as ominously massive and jagged as it is serene and majestic. No small feat and I tip my hat to those who have attempted it and won or lost, either way.
Denali (McKinley) is a very difficult climb. Many use it as a tune up for Everest. Most people don't understand, Everest is 29,000 BUT base camp is at 17,500.
McKinley is 20,500 but rises from 1,000 to 3,000 ft.
Everest you climb about 12,000' as opposed to 18,000.
Also, McKinley is by far the most northern of all the 20k + Mts. Being 3° South of the arctic circle. There are no sherpas to carry your gear, fixed ropes, or set up your camps ahead of you. You have to pack all of your own stuff.
When you referred to “glacier flights” did you get to land on them with assume a bush plain? If so that’s pretty wild itself
@@jasonstaples4364you’d be surprised what some these pilots do up here
Not relevant, I know but I was just thinking paying 10$ US for a warm shower on the way to everest BC where the annual income is about 800 $US
@@jasonstaples4364 I’ve taken one of those flights. It’s another world. Such an amazing place. ✨🏔️✨
Love watching mountaineering videos. While i personally dont have a desire to climb a mountain, i would kind of love to be a part of base camp 😅
yeah, me too
Ive always thought basecamp would be a lot of fun. Not if there's a blizzard. They'd sell a lot of tickets if they had a trek to base camp. Many can do that right? More or less. But idk about space needed & on some of these vids, ppl are struggling before basecamp.
Let’s go to base camp and just interview people going up and when they come back down. I’ll bring the camera so ill just need help setting everything up
They have wonderful vacation packages to hike to Everest base camp. I believe it takes about 2 weeks. When I was younger, I almost went. Had an agent and all. Finally decided that probable stomach issues which are common wasn't as fun as you'd think.
@@Thomas.3698Google it. Treks to Everest base camp are numerous ,& very popular
I found the last story particularly ominous. The 2 ladies got rescued but still died of their injuries. Just a reminder that you aren't guaranteed to survive just because you are off the mountain.
anyway they WANTED to be in the mountains and then they suddenly wanna be off the mountain...every story is the same. Why not to pass on climbing in the first place..
@@Plaksa2004
I'm not taking up climbing any time soon!
I was on a 4 day snowshoeing backpacking trip. Pitching my tent on a ridge from the afternoon to the next morning we got hit 80 mph wind. It's a crazy experience.
This was on mount lassen ca.
"No mountain is worth so much as a man's life."
[Walter Bonatti, after wisely turning back from a solo assault on the North Face of the Eiger.]
I’d argue every mountain is worth more than a man’s life but it takes more than being well
Prepared.
I agree on that. Fully.
@@X737_ to argue a mountain is worth death is mental illness,
Cassarado “I will conquer you K2”
K2 “not gonna happen”
K2 "Maybe so but you'll not live long enough to tell anybody about it".
K2 “congratulatio…. SIKE!!”
you couldnt PAY me to try to climb K2, it actively tries to kill you
Brutal and technical and takes one in five. Woman one in three.
This is straight madness. So many lives lost and for what.
Chasing the high.. both literally and figuratively
After watching many mountain climbing videos, I learned that climbers will try and try until they succeed or die.
It’s intriguing to say the least. Perhaps a case study should be conducted on their brains to see what’s similar amongst said victims.
I live in SoCal... when it's 50° we are cold here. I cannot imagine what these climbers are subjected to.
When it's 50 in spring in Canada, people shovel the snow in t-shirts and shorts..seen guys shirtless even ha ha. We tease people who look cold when it's nice out! 😜
I would imagine when one is preparing to attempt such a feat, they would acquire the best gear possible. Whatever tools are needed, I would only have PROVEN TOP OF THE LINE. I don’t climb mountains, so I don’t know what materials are needed but my sleeping bag would be the warmest and thickest sleeping bag I could find for sale. My jackets would be warm inside as Amazon sells jackets that have heating mechanisms in the lining, my gloves would be the same, my hat would be super thick. I’d protect my eyes with goggles or whatever is appropriate….my socks would be well insulated. I’d have small materials to drink hot cocoa….u name it, I’d have it!!!! Take no chances…especially with your life since you can’t buy another one
@@keluvnmeim sure all the expert mountaineers out there will be grateful for your advice.
@@keluvnme If you are too warm, you sweat. When you sweat you are at a greater risk of hypothermia. You don't want damp sweaty clothes on in very cold conditions.
@@dana102083 Good way to get pneumonia!
Listening from the comfort of my home with a hot cup of coffee and a thick pair of socks. Cheers!
Me too! And I'm still cold!
It is sometimes comforting to sit on the beach while a storm is about and witnessing the troubles of others.
-Some Greek, can't remember who. Before Alexander but after the Peloponnesian wars.
I've watched enough of these videos to know you can't stay at a summit for very long. It doesn't end well.
I don’t know where all this mountaineering stuff came from lately but all I know is I’m hooked and I started climbing as my second sport( other than cycling)Nothing past a V3 yet but I’m learning ! Damn algorithm
These people always tend to think to themselves “it’s only a day trip” no need to bring overnight equipment🙄 with nature, things always takes a turn for the worst. The weather on mountains, once clear and sunny turns murky and windy….the currents in underwater caves, once calm and clear turns murky and choppy…unrelentless…the unexpected rain in canyons…once bone dry becomes flash flood filled in moments. It’s CRAZY
These climbers have balls of steels. Not only are the weather conditions dangerous, the Mountain itself is also dangerous. On top of that, There are so many unseen crevasse’s one could possibly fall in….it really makes me wonder why people even attempt to accomplish such a feat.
Adrenaline junkies i guess.
Courage, stupidity. Fine line.
Equally chilling is a story from Jordan’s book involving Julie Tullis, a British climber and the third woman to summit K2. Tullis’s accomplishment took place in July of 1986. The months surrounding her climb saw 13 deaths on K2, which came to be known as the Black Summer. During her descent with her partner Kurt Diemberger, Tullis suffered a bad fall, severe frostbite to one hand, and blurred vision likely stemming from HACE. She died while trapped at Camp IV with several other climbers, and her body was left on the mountain.
Years later, in 1992, Thor Kieser and Scott Fisher, members of an American-Russian team, were jolted out of an unusual quiet at base camp by the sound of a voice coming over the communications radio.
“Camp IV to Base Camp, do you read, over?” the voice said. Both Kieser and Fisher knew that no one was on the mountain at that time. And the voice was that of a British woman.
scary shit
Baloney.
And then the mountain clapped
Thank you very much for your videos. The narration is excellent.
I so hoped he would live. The fast and sizable effort to save him speaks to his character and magnetism. His wife was a trouper too that deserves our respect and prayers 🙏
Who?
@@nancyjones6780I'm assuming they mean the first story, the guy who fell in the crevasse on K2
My time of climbing is long over, and only in the Lake District, but these videos and other mountaineering stories always hold my interest. Stories that reach back to Malory and Irvine and other great stories of survival [or not] in lonely places.
No, you’re not the only one I’m obsessed with these videos too
“You gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em. Know when to walk away, know when to run!” Would it help if each climber carried a a rescue flare!
Or a miniature Kenny Roger's in their back pack to sing softly in their ears at just the right moments. That would help alot.
@saltpeter7429 and also a miniature Dolly Parton with Kenny Roger's to sing "islands in the stream. That would 100% help me.
Thanks now, I now have these songs fighting to take over my mind.
No I am also obsessed with mountaineering accidents
She couldn’t stop smiling because she was delirious and hypothermic.
😮
I’d be embarrassed if I paid to climb Everest and wasn’t a pro climber 🤷♀️
With respect....when you favour total isolation, no oxygen, an alpine approach and choose a solo expedition....
Looks like suicide to me.
Climbing all these famous mountains seems like playing Russian roulette
It depends on the mountain, Annapurna and K2 kinda yeah, otherwhise you just have to obey the rules of the specific mountain.
@@HansFlamme well said, the more popular ones have tried & tested routes with lines & the like. Id imagine you have to be really fit though, especially on tall mountains like Everest
@@dosidicusgigas1376 absolutely, you're better off when you're fit. It's already a different world after 6000m
@@dosidicusgigas1376 You need to train to get used to the conditions, too.
@@HansFlamme i can barely make it up a 20m staircase so I could only imagine how intense a 6000m peak would be LOL
I've done some really stupid stuff in my youth, but these brave souls are truly commendable...crazy ,but courageous none the less.
32:40-33:05 ain’t no damn way somebody can forget to bring a sleeping bag when it’s one of their only sources of protection.
I listen to these climbers' stories and marvel at
1. Their persistence to achieve s goal.
2. The sheer will to survive. 3. The selflessness of the rescuers to put aside their own will be survive in order to save someone else.
Amazing! The last story broke my heart though. Those young women had their whole life ahead of them. RIP
Great videos thank you!
BTW The past tense of "seek" is "sought," not "seeked."
Check the weather it's not just your life your putting at risk
The family of Niedere sued the company of Staeheli for negligence. While I feel for the family, the guy who decides to climb up one of the most dangerous mountains in the world needs to understand the risks involved. Guides are not superhuman. They will make mistakes. They also have oxygen deprivation. They too get tired. Hiring a guide is not hiring a guarantee. You roll the dice.
As someone who has climbed Mt. Ranier, my thoughts on the 2nd story regarding Staheli (guide for Denali)…so he forgot a sleeping bag and a shovel in the rush of the morning to get started. Well, since they guides hold life & death in their hands, why isn’t it mandatory that they perform and have a physical CHECK LIST as PILOTS do before takeoff? The industry needs to change and adopt this as a rule. Too much at stake endeavoring risky adventures. Why take on added risk? Mitigate that risk.
I feel like these great mountains take lives as a offering. One of nature's great mysteries.
Especially K2
@@regppMD Annapurna
Everest is climbed by the rich K2 is climbed by actual climbers
Rather over simplified, I believe.
@@samstevens7172 its true sometimes. A few weeks ago i saw a documentary about an Everest Expedition with a woman taking part who didnt know how to put her spikes on. Such people would have absolutely no chance at K2
@@christiankatzel9598 I’m not saying the OP was completely inaccurate. To succeed on Everest, all you really have to do is have a certain level of fitness. If you can afford it, you will be led up and back.
Regardless, you still have to be acclimated, and the “Death Zone” treats rich and poor alike.
On K2, a high level of skill is required to survive, much less be successful.
My response was more about Everest than K2.
Carla seems so positive, supportive and loving in this film🙌👏🙏♥️
A major, and wonderful, difference between this channel's style and others which do a similar thing is....the diagrams. For those of us who are not climbers, indeed who listen to these tales during the hottest days recorded on earth in over 100,000 years (but...global warming and climate change aren't real, right?) , the diagrams showing routes and places on mountains make a huge difference in how understanding what we are hearing.
I grew up with Alison Hargreaves, we used to have days out in the Peak District (her parents and mine were friends) and went on holiday with her and her parents for a week.
She deserves a video all of her own, or including the story going full-circle after the loss of Tom, her little boy when she was lost 😢
I think if Tom was asked where he’d prefer to die, a mountain would be his reply. Rest in peace both of them💔👼🏻🪽
Tom Bollard or something? The Mummery Spur on Nanga Parbat guy? The pictures were horrific from the telescopes at the base 😭 They were connected by a rope just hanging or dangling or laying there.
You knew Hargreaves? !!!!! omg, she was amazing. I just finished a documentary about 1986 or whenever it was on K2. Holy crap is was an amazing journey for her. That gentleman she climbed with was amazing too. I heard he had really bad frostbite and they had to amputate certain things which was a tragedy they didn't even mention in the story. I can only imagine the stories you could tell us of her. She was driven. I felt so bad for the two kids she left behind but she absolutely did the right thing to follow her dreams and give K2 a try. It is my opinion that she had a head injury from the fall (when the belay of her friend saved her) and the long time in that tent with the hole did her in. I feel so bad for you. You must have been devastated.
@@harpoon_bakery162 Thank you for that beautiful reply. Yes I was honoured to have known her when she was just starting climbing in the Peak District when we were both only little. She was the same age as my big sister so I was probably just the annoying kid brother cramping their style!
It was a shame that for that last season, she was almost financially obligated to climb to keep food on the table for her family. She got a fair bit of criticism but I’m glad you agree she did the right thing by attempting K2. I only hope it was instant and as peaceful as something so tragic could be
@@NicoleStevensHays11x Yeah Tom Ballard, that’s the one, and his Italian climbing partner. His sister looks so much like her mum, it’s uncanny to see.
There is a documentary on her and then one on her son.
I'll just stick to watching these vids and climbing my local mountains on my dirtbikes in the summer 😊
I'm working my way through all of these. Thanks. I agree that your voice is good. Btw, and hope ok to say, but it's 'sought' not 'seeked' x x x
Brave, determined and stupid especially if you try it alone. I'll just stay safe watching it on CZcams thanks. Merry Christmas everyone and stay safe.
Thanks for watching!
What a great job of storytelling and narration! Much respect for the brave people who tried to help others.
thank you,, i have saved many lives up there
This guide did not have a supply checklist that he goes through to make sure that he doesn’t forget anything?!
unbelievable !!!!
Women have true crime to fall asleep to. We have this.
Did you read other comments? Heidi, Laura, Sandra....
It's 2024 dude.
Women have this too😂🤣🤣
Excuse me we have true crime too
@@erikalee7967true, but I’d be willing to bet the audience is at least 60% male
Great Stuff , never tire of listening to these stories, and your voice is very easy to listen to , perfect speed, with the right cadence.
Was it the old guy in his 50s?
Bullseye 🎯
Kermit the Frog. Sorry, now you can't unhear it.
Magnus always makes climbing fun like it’s supposed to be. Challenging demanding ever expanding.
I could listen to this dude say "crevasse" all day long.
"...pushing his body to its limits, and then beyond." What does that mean? In the real world, as opposed to the worlds of myth, poetry, and drama, when something is pushed beyond its limits, it breaks.
As an autistic person: Oh yeah, neurotypicals love nonsesical phrases 😅
All Praise should go to the Rescuing People❤ all others knew the Dangers and did it anyway for their Ego
Youre an Amazing storyteller!! Thank you❤
So sad about the two young women! What a tragedy
Thank you for this amazing content! Your storytelling kept me engaged and the visuals are beautiful.
Although sad, this was very entertaining. Your voice is perfect for story telling.
The narrator has just enough Kermit the Frog in his voice that I can't hear anything else.
Mesmerising compilation! Great images as well. Just one thing - the past tense of 'they seek' is 'they sought' (pronounced 'sort'). Love your vids! Feel like I'm there. Cheers.
great video dude
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed!
I barely survive a non-working heater on a winter. So yeah, I can never be mountain climber. Not these 8k monstrosities. I'd be happy to climb a hill.
I love to watch these mountaineering videos!
Starting watching this ,weil alone in bed for one month!
I had this virus 🦠 and breathing was almost impossible!
This guys in tents ⛺️ been my heroes! So close !😅
I wish everyone all the best of luck 🤞
❤
Hope you are fully recovered now! I have allergy induced asthma which has kicked my butt already this 'spring'. Wheezing and being short of breathe (probably considered mild to moderate so hardly anything to complain about) but its been beyond annoying. Can't imagine doing something physically strenuous and struggling to breathe due to high altitude/low O2 is kind of mind blowing to me when all I want to do is take my benadryl and watch CZcams! :)
You’re a fantastic story teller. On the Danali story I said “oh #%$£” several times.
Great work researching these events and even better story telling.
Thank you!
There's always a Chinese or Italian expedition lurking nearby in these mountaineering disasters
True!
The guys attempting to solo an unclimbed route on K2. "I can't believe he's gone, it all seems so surreal."
Really?
Very interesting. I did not know the story of Casarotto! Thanks! A true climbers!
i always recommend not to die on the mountain
Thank you so much for your wise words
💯
There must be a level of madness in those who climb. There just must be
I like the way you said crevices, crevasses
Crevices are different from crevasses
Like many others in the comments, I can’t understand the desire to climb a massive murderous rock, but fascinating nonetheless how some persevere and accomplish their expeditions.
@garrettjacobson : not everyone in life is enthralled by 9-5 job shopping at Walmart and eating at Mac D’s .
Some want more in life .
@@robford3211it's peaceful with safe hobbies on the ground , knowing we have a chance at life
MAYBE forgetting a shovel and sleeping bag COULD BE an easy MISTAKE for a rookie climber… for a PAID GUIDE it’s UNCONSCIONABLE NEGLIGENCE!
Bravo, Bravo!!! All of your narrations were riveting....keeping me sitting on the edge of my seat!!!!
Great content and research....you guys did a fantastic job recounting these tales of woe from the Great Mountains....
Thank you💖
Thank you so much!
The correct word for “seeked” is ‘sought’.
Sought, sought, sought, sought.
Always expect the worse , it is smart to be as much prepared as u can when you go on a mountaineering expedition even just for a day trip expect to be there more than one day this may save your life.
As with many others here, i am too obsessed with mountaineering and rock climbing videos. Especially with those related to the savage mountain.
Good work. Minor correction of something I've heard you say a couple times now: The past tense of the verb "seek" in English is irregular, it's "sought" (pronounced "sawt").
Yes. I didn't want to say anything. 😂
The first story reminds me of taking on a boss over and over because you refuse to equip an companion.
Great stories about mountains and people being obsessed about them. Somehow I’m obsessed too, about vids like this.
Great documentary. That last story was tough.
Mountain disaster and drug smuggling docs r all I need in life
Love the channel
Great content
Great documentary! Liked & Subscribed! Excellent story telling skills and research!!
Other good stories:
- the 1940’s ascent w/ 4 guys from Germany and Austria on the Northern face of that mountain in the Alps (not Matterhorn, the other one…the HARD one that has a TRAIN running through it and a train station that opens into the North Face)
- Reinhold Messier losing a brother high up on (I believe) Nanga Parbat
- Marc-André Leclerc + friend (the guy from Canada featured in the Alpinist movie)
- Everest 1996 (the Into Thin Air story of course)
- Tom Bollard on Nanga Parbat (which was after his wife on K2)
nice recs, just one note- it was Ballard's mom on K2
I got teary eye half the time watching this video. So sad.
Excellent content
Bless them for their bravery.
His wishes were to be pushed back into the crevasse?
Yeah this really bothered me as well. I can't imagine how his wife felt leaving him there. I don't get it....
I don't know why they respected those wishes. It sounds like insanity. Their mental faculties in those conditions can't be trusted. Sometimes I don't think climbers are entirely human anymore.
@@Krystalmyth The most reasonable answer I can think of is he didnt want to burden them if he wasnt going to make it, regardless its pretty crazy
No his wife agreed.
Love watching…but the pilots and crews that risk their lives for people on these treacherous, dangerous mountains….but, not really fair.
Man this is a well put together video . Sad interesting brave mountaineering storys, Than you.
