Left For Dead: The 2021 Pobeda Peak Disasters
Vložit

- In August of 2021, several teams would embark on separate ascents of Pobeda Peak. However, due to one party's unwavering summit fever, several members of other expeditions would be forced to attempt to aid their fallen comrades in their times of need. This is the story of that fateful week in August.

I can somewhat understand not wanting to waste their energy to try rescuing someone whom they were pretty certain couldn't have survived. But to turn off their radios and not relay any information to the other team is just ridiculous. And then to not tell the others of the death of one of their teammates. Like they were beyond cold. That's also just plain dangerous because there could have been a situation where another team needed to warn them of something. They seemed very childish and basically did the equivalent of putting their fingers in their ears and yelling "I can't hear you!"
@empressmarowynn.
The three wise monkeys come to mind.
Governments should ban anyone behaving in that manner from future access to any mountains within their borders. It sets a terrible precedent if that ended up becoming the 'norm' response. Getting up a mountain to say you did it is just not that bloody important. Even if they couldn't actually help another, such behaviour should never be encouraged.
It's Iran. What do you expect? They value female life less than most cultures do.
Not as bad as the Saudis, but still...
@@StsFiveOneLima
They should not have gone on a dangerous recreation in the first place!
I flew Hanggliders XC and high altitude (below 13,000') years ago, in some very remote places. We all knew we may someday be on our own in the case of a structural failure, aircraft upsetting event, or XC landing out far from roads (this literally occured to all my flying buddies) where nobody knew what happened to us, until much later in the evening when we'd come stumbling in with a crazy story, lol. If one of my friends crashed landed in a dangerous place, me nor any other pilot would risk our lives to land next to him. We'd use radio to get emergency services going, as we are all then flying to the primary (safe) LZ at the same time, which was always interesting when that happened ... My point is, at any significant altitude it's every man for himself.
Damn, that Iranian team sure had a whole new level of summit fever. And thats the nicest thing, I can say.
You were not in their position so no judgements please.
So you have no opinion an absolutely everything. As for the rest of us we know these people were selfish, ignorant excuses of the human race.
@FoxyCAMTV what was their position? A couple 100 meters above a fallen climber. They chose to continue an ascent lol. That’s ultimate summit fever. Shameful.
you said it, you can summit another day.
I've known people like this.
@@FoxyCAMTV say what, sure summiting is much more important than someone's life.
you can summit another day. the mountain is going nowhere.
The callousness it would take to switch off your radios and not turn around when not one but two of your fellow climbers needed help... Standing atop a rock means that much to these pathetic people.
It truly is mind boggling.
They were beyond help. Getting back to search for a d€ad body at that hight is more than an odd request.
You die on the mountain, you should be left there. No point in recovering d€ad bodys and risking more lives.
This isn't diving into a pool to pull out a drowning person. This is the equivalent of dragging an injured, possibly dead person out of the middle of a minefield. 1 slip and you're joining her in the afterlife.
Very very very few sane people would take that risk and huge respect to rescuers for their bravery.
Sexism is rife in Iran
@@KnittingPasta As opposed to the objectification and sexualization of women in the west? Enough of the played out tropes.....They didnt search for the man either.
Mountaineering is a strange activity. The successful climb is more important than the lives of the climbers, to say nothing of the lives of others.
It’s actually quite selfish and perverse.
You really can't take youtube videos about tragedies as the norm for the sport. It's not that one's more important than the other it's that channels like this highlight the nightmares. @jerrybaird2059 @nr1785 . this talks nothing about the reception of the team's actions to the rest of the mountaineering community. where this has been vastly condoned.
there's a lesson in not casting judgment when you're only given select, captivating parts of the story to fit into a nice 11 minute youtube video for the algorithm and thinking you're getting a full coverage on the story
To be fair these mountaineers know what they signed up for. Trying to help others almost certainly signing your death warrant. These people knows the risk associated with it.
When they are so close to the summit, many climbers get "summit fever". The will do anything and everything to achieve that end, even if it costs them their lives. In all fairness, every climber knows the risks and accepts that they may die in any attempt to climb any mountain. Finally, the falls in this episode were clearly unsurvivable. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to rescue an injured climber. To risk more lives to recover the dead is simply counterproductive. As they say in the armed forces, "we do not sacrifice the living in order to save the dead".
Yeah it's weird honestly thinking about it and very selfish. Wouldn't it be better to climb for fun (if you're lucky you may reach the summit) and rather focus on looking after each other and trying to safe lives rather than trying to reach the summit. I feel so incredibly bad for this woman, what selfish, disgusting people. I understand if you have to focus on surviving yourself but to totally ignore her. This is a huge reason why I would never mountain climb.
Of all of your stories, this one left me speechless.
@katemaloney4296.
If it left you "speechless", then why are you still talking?
writing isn't talking. Pretty easy difference! @@redblade8160
I love to think that the iranian climber while dying was thinking if it was because they shut the radio off. I hope he thought that if they at least left the radio on, he would not be dying there
How could have a radio helped him?
IT WAS A FEMALE NOT A MAN ! @@principecaprincipeca2243
@principecaprincipeca2243 The Iranians very clearly made a decision to continue to ascend rather than help a fellow climber. Even if she only had a 20% chance to live, the choice was made to leave her. Reaching the top is fun, but no one cares and no one will remember your name. Those who save fellow climbers leave a far more indelible mark and they’re legacy is one to remember.
@@principecaprincipeca2243 Because if they'd turned and helped Mehdi, he wouldn't have gone to the Summit and died...
Karma operated quickly on him
The last thing through his mind was his ass. 😂😂😂😂😂
WOW! They just really didn't care huh? Turning the radio off is just like saying ''Dont bug me.''
Iranians.
I enjoy this genre, but this one left me stunned and saddened But, I really commend you for your pronunciation of names and places
Yeah because he actually cares enough to Google names and how to pronounce them. Sadly most people can't be bothered to take an extra 5-10 minutes to do the same.
What are you people talking about?
Not a single name was pronounced correctly.
Not that it matters, the content is still top notch, just stop being a kiss ass where not needed. I also commend the author for the pronunciation, because it's an honest effort where most content creators would just say "I don't want to butcher the name" and wouldn't even try. It's commendable and respectful to the people involved and that's more than enough
He pronounced Iran correctly, but that's it. Not that he should be faulted for saying things with an American accent, but you and the 57 people who liked your comment really showed your ignorance here when you tried to sound sophisticated. Cringe
As an Army veteran, I’d have a really hard time leaving someone to die in a crevasse without some sort of attempt to save them or at least to ascertain if they were truly dead before I kept climbing to the peak. Leaving your buddies to die just seems very dishonorable, unless you have no other choice. RIP to the unfortunate 3 on this trip.
As someone who likes Tacos I concur
12 years as a 19D
Well, except that idiot Reza. He was part of the team that ignored calls for assistance and left Mehdi to her fate. Karma got him quickly
I honestly feel bad for the those who signed up to fight and risk their lives in pointless wars rather than stay home supporting their family.
But end of the day I’m grateful for those who came back alive and is doing well throughout.
I get the payout is a large amount, more than enough to keep a roof above their head. But man… it’s sad when someone loses a loved one: but for what cost?
@@DarknessUnresolved Yes because that’s what people in modern militaries do, commit genocide against civilians… are you completely deluded ?! 🤣
That's some Cold Blooded S***!😣😳😬😲😪
Full Metal Kacket……hardcore man!!! Hardcore!!
I doubt anyone would trust any member of that Iranian team....
Morbid Mountains
Morbid management
I think they saw the fall she took and understood she was dead. They didnt wanna die trying to search for her. Its still very cold and i wouldnt make that choice.
Yeah the entire area seems unstable. And they left the other guy too so maybe they had a pact with each other that there would be no rescue attempts if one of them falls.
@@o_o8203 yeah it wasn't like they just left her because they didn't know her and just joined the group they didn't even go after their own dude
@PPSH-Riley seems like a dumb pact for a stupid reason if that is the case. If they felt the fall would have killed her they could have relayed that. But they went radio silent potentially allowing the Hungarian team to risk their own lives.
@@MrMabloom they didn't choose that though that team chose to look for her but I get your point too
So say that. Don't just turn off your radio and ignore.
always appreciate your narration, thanks for your work :)
I love your mountain disaster videos, you have taken untold stories about mountain disasters and published on CZcams which is great because no other youtuber have done the same. Keep up the good work man👍🏻
This is so informative!!! Fantastic reporting; I enjoy this kind of content!🌻🌼🐝
Geezus. No mercy out there. You couldn't possibly feel good about summiting.
Well.... Iranians could. She was just an unfortunate female. That part of the globe values female life at a lower rate than most.
Except that they didn't care about their own man too.@@StsFiveOneLima
@@StsFiveOneLimastop being a victim
Thanks Morbid midnight another true masterpiece as usual!
These climbers like to sound bold and heroic when they say that they know the risks when climbing a mountain, but they don't. They realise their folly when it's too late!
A really great collage of high altitude video clips, of what is some very tall mountain. It's the clarity and color, really good shots of some great expedition especially the ice climbing part. Too bad most of us only see these 8000 ers while hearing of such tragedy, good stories though.
Yes! New episode time! 🎉🎉🚀🚀🔥🔥
Selfish as it is, they didnt have to look for her or Raiza. When you take the decision to go climbing these mountains you are on your own once you get to such high altitudes. If you can be helped safely that is completely different, but this particular mountain is so avalanche prone they would also put themselves in danger.
I flew Hanggliders XC and high altitude (below 13,000') years ago, in some very remote places. We all knew we may someday be on our own in the case of a structural failure, aircraft upsetting event, or XC landing out far from roads (this literally occured to all my flying buddies) where nobody knew what happened to us, until much later in the evening when we'd come stumbling in with a crazy story, lol.

This video - fantastic. By far one of your best.
This comments section, however...
Climbing a mountain with a 33.3% fatality rate is just insane. I'm almost wondering if those statistics are wrong. That would make this the most dangerous mountain in the world and by a LOT. It would be the same odds as playing Russian roulette with 2 bullets in the gun. I know why people climb these ultra-dangerous mountains but at some point you have to draw the line.
Nah. Gotta thin the herd somehow.
Listen again, he said that 1/3 of those who reach the summit lose their lives on the descent. Not 1/3 of all climbers.
@@jethro377 that means there is a higher chance of making it to the moon and back than there is of summiting this mountain and surviving
It's the same thing though. What goes up must come down...@@jethro377
I have never heard of a team on any 7000 or 8000meter mountain turning around and searching for a climber that is obviously dead. Strange take on this one.
If it was a team from the Uk that just ignored this lady you’d all be saying they should be charged with murder
Rich people and their deadly activities... and then they're surprised when humbled by the deadly mountains. She knew she wasn't capable, she went anyway. People LOVE the mountains and they died doing what they loved. Its tragic, but they are going on their own will.
Ikr! People spend tens of thousands of dollars to die on a mountain. What an all around waste.
totally agree.. some of these climbers aren’t even rich. they’ll fund the entire trip on credit and sacrifice their families financial stability just to be on top of a big rock
I flew into Kyrgyzstan after leaving Afghanistan in 2010. Flying into the old Russian AB the scenery from the C-5 looked liked 100s of Mt Hoods, but taller. Gorgeous view.
Imposing topography!
Mega titan dragons bodies fossilized ...
Sounds like the Iranian Team lacked any compassion and were totally absorbed in their own selfish desires.
Unfortunately you see that they're not alone, as some people defend that level of evil.
"Sounds like the Iranian Team lacked any compassion and were totally absorbed in their own selfish desires." -- She was just a female, to them. That part of the globe values females at a different rate.
What kind of compassion you are talking about?!
Dead body! That was her and he after such a fall!
Why risk their life additionally? No reason for that.
What if let’s say they do choose to look for them. They will only find a dead body that anyway is unretrievable.
Secondly, base camp has no authority to issue orders! Much less to bother them in a time when their concentration is hard due to low oxygen levels up there!
They made the right call to f#ck them off, no matter how bad it sounds to a layman’s like you(both)
What many commentators fail to understand is that this type of mountain climbing is a death sport. The climbers know it, the Sherpas know it, the base camps know it. Zero oxygen at these altitudes. The mountain is crumbling beneath you; wicked wind, temperatures, blizzards, avalanches. No helicopter can reach you. Every moment on the mountain is a possible death sentence, you can’t just go to try to save another climber when you are barely surviving yourself. There is no rescue. No human is supposed to be there. Climbers can’t expect rescuers to put themselves in such grave danger to attempt to save them. It is what it is.
Surely they discussed among themselves what to do if one of them fell. Perhaps they agreed if death was certain the others should continue, rather than risk lives trying to recover a body.
They didn't even bother to try to ascertain her condition, and turned off their radios. Of course, they were Iranians, so I expect no better of them.
I've read so many fics with this trope, it's fun to see it in movie form
Manythnx M.midnight🤘
I haven't watched yet, but LOL! I hope it's what I think it is.
I feel like there's probably a mutual understanding between all mountain climbers, that no climber is expected to risk their own life in an attempt to save someone else's, and each climber should not expect anyone else to risk their own life to save yours.
Those Iranians were either cowards, suffering from summit fever or both..sad what they did to their comrades.
This story is an excellent example of what mountain climbers code and the outdoor states explicitly, which is to help others if you can. Don’t be childish and ignore safety concerns or someone dying just to get your summit. They could have at least guided in a helicopter or rescue and said they don’t have time to rescue or it does not seem safe, instead they radioed and left…. Pretty lame since it’s clear they didn’t care if the other person died.
I’m
Convinced mountaineers are deranged
Can you do a video on orca attacks?
Check out my short about the seal and the snorkeler haha I kind of answer your question at the end of it ;D
and they say climbers are harsh on Everest? This is how climbers act when nobody is looking this was 2021! there are some cold people on this earth.
Pobeda. Po problems
And thats why people dont want to go looking for climbers who fall hundreds of meters. Theyre risking their lives to go looking for a dead body. If there was some sign of life I'd get it but reality is that they are giving up their lives to give some family a body to bury. Thats not something you have any right to demand of someone else. You want to do it? Fine. If not, no one should say a word to you about it. Losing lives to find the dead is idiotic.
In fairness to the Iranians, she had latched onto their team and was not fit enough to keep up. Decending to search for a body didn't make sense. People are being a bit too harsh on them.
Nah they get zero sympathy, they were asked SEVERAL TIMES by base camp to help out, they in turn SWITCHED OFF their radio. Doesn’t matter what her fitness level was, the Iranian team was extremely callous and cruel.
@@ZombieSazzabase camp cannot come off as being insufferable on this? You make agreements on the mountain, yet you expect them to do as they are told. Lotsa armchair keyboard bosses showing up around here. No respect for climbing the mountain.
@@Parlimant_Strifey exactly lmao. Its easy to say its too hard this and not worth it that and she understood the risks, but imagine actually being the one to CHOOSE not to save her life and instead go for a summit. Smh.
"a bit !" 😮😡😁😁👍👍
@@cyruskhalvatithere was nothing to save. She was beyond saving.
well ... their government used to give kids plastic keys to heaven and send them running over minefields ... so likely not a nation with the greatest cohesion
but they had keys... no matter if its plastic as long as it gets into heaven..
😂
Yeah that's what I was thinking
100 meters is nothing. It's literally 300 feet on the same rope line. It's a 7,600 meter peak. Starting at base altitude of 3800 meters, that's only 1/40th of the route. It would have taken them between 15 minutes and an hour to check it out.
1) It's 7439 m peak not 7600
2) base camp is at 4100 (not 3800) and is located ~8km from the face of the mountain
3) to get to the place where she was buried takes usually 2 days from BC (or 12h of constant climbing minimum)
4) searching an area where she fell may take few days, it is very steep place and highly exposed to avalanche
Spend a lot of money, scale mountain, you're another nobody amongst thousands of other nobodies,. These climbers though, were just some punts.
I have provided what is either considered constructive feedback or criticism in the past few weeks. Therefore, praise must also be given. This was a smooth delivery of your narrative, and you did not promote your content for other videos. That was great to see. Another lesser known peak, but the same callus human behavior - summit fever takes precedence over humanity.
There have been so many accounts of people not caring about others on the high mountains and even climbers summit fever possessing them to the point where they will steal the supplies of others (e.g., at the South Col on Everest). It is really true that if you cannot climb the mountain by yourself, then you really have no business being on it. The only person who will be there for you near the end is you.
Maybe it would interest fellow subscribers to hear about fatalities from smaller climbs like Mount Nevis in the UK? You do not have to go very high to kill yourself, and you do not have to spend a small fortune doing it. Nice job!
So she falls in a crevasse The people she’s climbing with look into the crevasse and can’t see her because she fell too far down, continue under climb because that’s what all mountain climbers do save a percent of a percentage, an avalanche happens which covers up the area in which she fell and people are mad that the others didn’t die with her in the avalanche? Am I missing something here? If I know that there are mountains and heights in which there is no search and rescue, where as well known that you need to get yourself up and down the mountain because it’s too dangerous for other people to try and carry you down a mountain then the people who are actually climbing the mountain should also be aware of that. Their families should be aware of that but people always think it’s not gonna happen to me so they ignore things like this and then their family gets upset when the worst happens and look at a point of finger at everybody except their family member who knowingly entered into a life and death situation.
Sounds very suspicious to me.
Gotta love the sheer lack of care these people show towards their own
They probably had a decision between them.
It’s always the same with these egomaniacs. They value their personal achievements above the lives of others. Why i always climb alone, at my own risk. I can’t Stand other climbers.
@@stephenmorris3696 No.... It was the Iranians who were asses. Because, well, they are Iranians.
They should have gone upwards then onwards. That is a basic rule of mountaineering. I learned that in Nebraska.
What a joyful country Iran is
Hopefully the Iranian team members were never issued climbing permits again.
That's Rich people for ya!! They think they are better then everyone else & just don't give a shit about other humans. Gross.
Well.... you know how they say chivalry is dead? In some cultures, it never lived.
pfttttt
As hard as K2?
Just a hit piece on Iran. All climbers do this stuff. Ask Jon Krakauer who was happy to leave living people on Everest. Descending for a dead body no one could find is asking for more deaths like the one from the search team. Yes, it's still a tragedy but people know what they're signing up for.
on this very channel I've seen similar stories of climbers dying, it's not about Iran it's about dumb fuck mountain climbers dying and letting their companions die too.
are you Iranian? if so, you're representing the country poorly. channel about mountain death does video about mountain death, your conclusion: iranian hit piece. idiot.
Ben Nevis .. .there’s nothing wrong with his narration. I would like to hear your contribution.
lol too funny
Is it really that difficult to see that the Iranians killed her?
The Iranian Team members should be charged. What an evil group of people.
You are not bright in your head.
I’ve been too hard on the cave divers..
Karma is a bitch
I would have left her aswell, her fault,not theirs.She knew she couldn't do it,,theres no hand holding on a mountain
You're gonna be late for soccer practice Larry
He wants to play hockey anyway.
Real Talibani these male iranians...
These evil people will have to answer for their refusal to help another human being. If not in this life, they certainly will when they face their Maker. Prayers for her family.
* for both of their families and friends.
She was d€ad. She was beyond help.
Each on their own at those hights
They know the risks and decides to take it.
Help *what*? They were dead. On impact. Each of them fell at least the length of a football field.
If you don’t want to be left to die, may stop wasting money, time, and life climbing some really high mountains then lol
She knew the risks and the area was perilous, even the rescuers were scared shitless there.
Death Wish Peak..⛰
the name "pobeda" is pronounced more like "pabyéda", it means "victory"
Damnnn !! Ego issues again; PATHETIC behavior !!
NOT me !!
What I have. learned from these videos, is that climbers, in order to avoid death, need not only the physical force,. but technical terrain behavior of their predicted time when attempting ...
How delusional could she have been? A bottle of Vodka at a russian wedding has better chances of survival than she had in the situation she got herself in.
Those who saw her fall into the crevasse had the option of trying to get to her at risk of their own lives. But they had no obligation to do so. An attempted rescue would only work if they could have gotten to her within a few hours. Anyone else would likely not know exactly where to look and would not be able to get to her in time.
What the hell do people expect mountaineers to do? Not climb the mountain because someone else was unlucky or in-experienced and fell to their doom? It does seem rather insufferable that someone else wants you to stop your climbing in order to find someone else's now dead body. Seems rather narsissistic to think that they somehow owe you when everyone simply agreed to climb the mountain and help each other best they can, nothing was agreed upon about this dead body scavenger hunting bidnass that base camp was being insufferable about.
Dead body simping was clearly never in the agreement made. Accept the rules of the mountain when you climb a mountain.
If your daughter falls on mt Everest 5 and ft breaks her leg ill make sure the line of hundreds trying to get to the summit all trample her body for 8hours before she finally succumbs to her wounds and the death zone.
People have, hundreds of times, abbandoned their summit push because one of their team needed rescue, multiple dozens of those rescue attempts ended in success, only a few incurring a higher human toll than if they ignored the problem.
No it wasnt anyones “job” but it is a moral obligation as a human being.
Said like a true insufferable dick head. Must be Iranian.
It's not "Rules of the Mountain"... It's Rules of the GROUP... I can only hope she knew what she was signing up for, but it's too late at this point to change anything... I've always done my best (when climbing) to keep with groups who believe in the mantra "We'll ALL go home, or NOBODY goes home." It's just been how a lot of US roll... AND that comes with the acceptance that there are certain mountains and goals we will probably never in hell even attempt.
It's ALSO the open contract, that if you come along on a climb, and you fall, before we even send out for help, we're willing to risk ALL of our lives to get you out of whatever mess you've fallen in. You're not considered "dead" until we have a warm, wet, DEAD body on our hands... period. You can't judge someone "dead" by a fall on a mountain. I've seen someone slip less than 50 feet into a bit of a tumble, and broke his neck... dead... on the spot, and NOTHING we could do but bundle him up and sled his remains and gear back to camp... "Climb called on account of a slight case of death."... I'VE slipped and tumbled g** d*** nearly 1,000 feet... end over end, full-on cartwheeling garage-sale (all my sh*t in separate directions all over the friggin' mountain)... AND battered and bruised, breathless as hell, and starting to freeze for my outerwear getting pulled open and PACKED FULL of snow, I was okay... Pissed off a little about the rest of the day spent hunting MOST (not all) of my sh*t and heading back to the last bivouac... BUT we were back at it the next day... AND I'm no superhuman... It's dumb LUCK... I've seen someone slid off the rocks, shot out into open space and hundreds of feet down to BURY themselves into the snow-ice below... and they were back up and swearing loudly before we could even set gear on reverse course to go back down and find them...
You could trip over your own porch steps and be dead on impact with the ground... no mountain even necessary. AND if it's not mountains it could be a plane crash, motorcycles, or just walking on the side of the road and a truck not notice you in time... take you RIGHT out...
BUT there are groups who make their agreements "per slope". Some slopes are just that challenging and the risk is that great. I wouldn't do it, but they DO exist (obviously)... I don't like that "style" of mountaineering or climbing. My opinion (humble or not) is that you should AT THE VERY LEAST confirm your comrade is alive or dead and whatever shape. If you're not willing to do that much, DO NOT BRING THEM ALONG... They CAN'T make you accept them, and it's foolish to try...
BUT I also know that it's MY opinion. It's how I ROLL... AND I'm not some Emperor of all things mountain climbing. If you want to make an agreement on a treacherous mountain that "If you fall, you're on your own"... well... so be it. You do YOU. Don't think for a minute I'm losing any sleep over it. It's no skin off my ass who goes back or up or down to rescue or find out about who... WHEN (not if) you find yourself in a sh*tty situation, it's not my emergency. ;o)
Load of shit. The team who saw her fall thought she was alive and tried to find her. Their team thought the Iranian team could have saved her. Listen to the other team on the mountain. The honorable one. Not the group who didn’t even try to go back for two team members.
That's not the point it's the fact they turned off their radios not reporting the situation or warning other climbers to be careful of that area.. THAT'S what makes these guys such dicks!
The amount of people thinking the Iranian team should have turned back for some corpses in this comment section is saddening.
Finally someone with some sense
What's saddening is seeing how inhuman some of you are.
Well lets hope they leave you somewhere next..
Something wrong when summiting is more important than your teammates.
you can always summit another day.
Sounds like she didn't need "no man!".
Exactly!!!
They claim "we don't need no man" but the moment things get out of hand, it always is "I am a weak woman victim, save me, be a hero"
Feminist Hypocrites !
Don't get out of kitchen, just to be a parasite!!
Go save a few men's lives by risking yours and then come claim to be independent, equal or all powerful !
It should not be a shock that an Iranian team didn’t have the most care for a woman, especially one who didn’t actually live in Iran and was an activist.
That's a broad swipe - the rescue search for Mary was a bad idea for any team.
They also didn't go search for one of their male members that slipped. It's very easy to criticize from the comfort of your keyboard, but if you realize that death is part of the mountain, and that going to search not only puts you at risk (note one of the rescuers for another team died on this trip), it's also a very low-percentage effort, I can understand the desire to push on and finish what you came to do, especially when you are so close. Personally, I think the entire "sport" is ridiculous, but if people want to engage in it, I can understand the cruel and callous decisions that have to be made.
Ha ha ha, when the narrator said "activist" I thought, oh that explains why they left her.
@@TerrificLittleSunday Stop justifying assholery
Very pathetic of you to use mehri's death to advance your own racist ideology
Another climber done in by misguided hubris.
This voice is putting me to sleep. I hope it doesn't put me to sleep before video ends.
Noticeable.
Don't feel bad for any of those who died after that poor woman slipped and died. Turning off your radios and pretending that nothing is happening is absolutely horrid. All they had to say was it was too dangerous to go back and get her. But instead they acted like children.
Karma got that Reza asshole quickly.
She fell a hundred meters. Into an extremely perilous area. How many people should risk their lives to go after her?
Everyone on that forlorn piece of rock was there voluntarily. Everyone accepted the risk of a cold death with no help coming.
Get out of your armchairs folks.
The Hungarian climbers for one…
@@MrMabloomthanks. She should have had someone to go down with her. She did not have a friend or anyone who even cared. The ego of an adventure, man is huge.
Body recovery is important to family. If they had gone and identified where she was, the rescue team or helicopter could have retrieved her body before avalanche buried her. Was she dead? Most likely but their concern and efforts were pretty lame, cold and childish. Shutting off your radio?
The only glory they gained that day was the "asshole" award.
@@riafitzgerald2988 Exactly. She might have been gone. But maybe not. I can't imagine continuing an ascent if there was a chance the person was still alive.
@@riafitzgerald2988 risk their lives? You must be mental.
At first I thought they were disrespectful because she was female...nope, turns out they were just cowards
They're cowards because they didn't want to risk their lives to search for a corpse - who wasnt even on their team? The only thing uniting them was their language.
@@SpinningSidekick She wasn't confirmed dead... and they TURNED OFF THEIR RADIOS. That's grade-A asshole behavior no matter how you try justifying it
You don't really expect iranian muslim MEN to help an emancipated iranian WOMAN, do you?
If so: surprise, surprise! 😂
She dont need no man lol.... now she is dead. Bye bye
No offense but mountain climbers are very selfish climbers. Such a shame to. I'd rather be a hero saving someone then saying "I reached the top"!!! Ok, ok, I take back everything I said. Please forgive me?!!
Part of the problem is hypoxia and hypothermia can both affect brain function, which makes it harder for potential rescuers to shift gears from focusing on the goal to rescue, and can also make people who need rescue dangerous to rescue. I can honestly understand why no one would want to hunt for someone who was definitely dead already, on an avalanche prone slope, because that's a really good way to end up with more people dead.
Here comes all the “professional mountain climbers” saying well actually thats not the others problem and actually its really hard to safely take someone down from a mountain and doubly hard from the death zone.
People who say this are on some serious copium its been pulled off before by kindhearted climbers hundreds of times.
@@cyruskhalvati yes, but at the same time... in this very video, one of the people who was looking for a dead climber, not even a living climber, died. I'm not a professional climber, but when this very video, which paints people who are afraid to try finding a dead body in a negative light, ends with "oh and one of the people who were trying to find the body died"... I don't think it's right for us, as non professional climbers, to judge people, when clearly people who are searching for dead bodies can be killed doing it. And I'm not comfortable with the notion that the people who were safe and secure in base camp sent people out on an avalanche prone slope to find the dead climber. What if there had been an avalanche? Then there would be many more dead. And for what? It's not like her life could have been saved!
It’s also selfish to expect people to risk their lives saving you from your failed attempt to “reach the top”…play stupid games and you win stupid prizes, it’s no one else’s fault
She was beyond saving. There would have been no heroes
Hopefully the Iranian team was sanctioned.
For what? Not recovering de@d bodies?
Kept true to their name. The "I-ran-away-ins".
Just say you know nothing about history and go 🤣
I can’t believe the didn’t go back and get her
Getting to the top of some god forsaken mountain instead of stopping to possibly save someone's life is ridiculous and selfish to me ...i wonder what these climbers will say when they have to answer to their Maker one day..why they value personal success over human lives!!!
It's selfish to try to climb a mountain you're too inexperiened to climb and then expecting others to put their lives at risk for you. Why should they value her life more than she did?
I completely understand why the team switched their radios off. Here's something the presenter and all the negative commenters seem to be missing:
The team and the lone hiker were heading in opposite directions when she fell. They were not close. The team were no mountain rescue climbers. They were climbing enthusiasts. They had no obligation to turn back and attempt and dangerous rescue. They require a ton of mental focus to successfully continue on their journey without putting themselves at risk. If base camp is bleating in their ears like a panicked goat, demanding they attempt some suicidal rescue, making threats, tossing insults, well then it makes perfect sense to turn off the radio. This would be necessary for mental focus and thus safety.
Very Doubtful she survived the 100 meter fall..
Ok. So they did tell her go back. They still bogus AF how they went about it.
If those despicable Iranian climbers are reviled and ostracized by the entire mountaineering community for the rest of their sorry lives, it'd be no more than they deserve.
I am lost for words they didn't turn back for Mary as far as I am concerned this is MURDER
Hahahaha, omg... HAHAHA... Yea, self murder, You are not bright in your head.
Male climber needs help: Internet: Darwin Award, Ego etc
Woman climber needs help: everyone must risk their lives whether on her team or not, not to mention the time effort and money other climbers most likely not wealthy like the average US entitled citizen
They search for the missing male climbers, too, genius. Did you miss the story about the guy who went to retrieve a fallen climber's body from a crevasse and discovered he was still alive?
You didn't hear the part about the Russian team calling for help, and rescuers going to their aid?
Exactly!!!
They claim "we don't need no man" but the moment things get out of hand, it always is "I am a weak woman victim, save me, be a hero"
Feminist Hypocrites !
Don't get out of kitchen, just to be a parasite!!
Go save a few men's lives by risking yours and then come claim to be independent, equal or all powerful !
Like are we surprised Iranian men won’t help a woman.
Iranians lol. Naturally. Not surprising
I understand not pursuing someone who is surely dead.
But in this case, im pretty sure the callus behavior of iranian men was due to believing she was worth less than them.
Sexism is rife in Iran due to their extremist policies.
So how do you explain them behaving the same towards a man?
WTF anyone feels sorry for any of these incidents is beyond me. Guess what? Don't go into that cave, you won't die in a cave. Don't climb that mountain, you won't die on a mountain. Get it? Pretty simple shit.
This one was Hilarious.
Has anybody ever thought about whether or not those Iranians threw that woman off the mountain? They seemed to not be concerned at all that their "friend" was dead... this is why borders are important, I don't want to live near people like this.
She was climbing down the mountain at the time, away from the rest of the team. They were nowhere near her.
And four callous a-holes do not make an entire country bad.
@@brandonm949 They definitely threw her off.
