The SAD story of the NERD Climber of Mount Everest

- The story we tell today has as its protagonist David Sharp, a talented mountaineer, who met an adverse fate in May 2006, on the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest.
A lot of people who passed by David Sharpe tried to helped him. But if you cannot stand up and move, you are doomed, you can’t be carried or dragged because you would put other people in danger. I think that’s why he refused the help. He knew what will happen soon.
very well said
Turns out he wasn't that "sharp"
@@azazello1784 hey that ain’t „cool“
@@azazello1784atleast we can respect him for not cheating and using the sherpas to carry him up and he refused help from people
There is also the story of Lincoln Hall, who mordaciously was in about the same condition but was able to get off the mountain after spending over 24 hours in the death zone with no oxygen. In that state, Hall states that he thought he was at home, on a boat in the ocean, and many other places when he became delirious in that state. Sharp may have been waving people away because he didn't really know where he was or what was going on. And in some ways, that feels like the better way to go to me, rather than sitting and waiting on the inevitable.
I just don’t like how so many people have heard this story and blame the other climbers for not “saving” David. David made the choice to be risky and barely prepared and lost his life because of it. It’s unfortunate, but his death was his and only his fault.
Its awful the way, from all the people who walked passed, it was Mark Ingils who got vilified in the papers and my Sir Edmund Hillary. There was no saving him that high up, but to blame it all on the guy who is a double amputee and no one else is just a piss take.
I agree. David took ridiculous risks and it killed him. Not tragic.
What's with 'no radio'? A radio isn't that heavy. I don't get it.
@@cathrynm Not having a radio is pretty dumb, however in David's case it wouldnt if done much good even if he had had a radio. He went with the most basic if companies possible and didn't pay for a Sherpas support. A radio would of done no good with no one on the other end of it, however even if he had a radio there would of been noone to send up there. You get what you pay for.
@@cazc5200 I see. Oh well, rest in peace.
David’s own mother said she didn’t blame anyone for not helping him and said that no one else should either. She said that David knowingly and willingly put himself into that situation.
To be fair he went out like a badass. Went up alone and died alone. Refused to take peoples oxygen and when he knew he was dead he just told the others to keep going.
@@Willppyrowent out like a badass? He sat down and gave up, let his pride and/or arrogance kill him. Is that your idea of a badass?
@@Willppyro There is literally nothing badass about being an idiot and going to Mt. Everest unprepared and then dying cold and alone. The guys an(was) idiot.
Is there a cure for cancer at the top of Everest or a pot of gold? If not than these climbers accomplished nothing.
@@TheSuperPsychoKillerIf i had terminal cancer I'd go up there
He didn't seem to have any common sense. The risk he took was great. You can't go and expect other people to put their lives at risk as well.
@Marlene Douglas I completely agree. When you read the comments of other videos that mention his demise, there never seems to be any shortage of people who shame everyone on the mountain for not saving him that day. In my opinion, those people should travel to Everest and look for climbers in peril so that they can pack the person on their shoulder and carry them down the mountain; as they expect other people to do.
The guy failed twice in a group and then thought this was a good idea? You’re not that good a climber if you don’t take into account the risks. Especially if you believe one random guy telling you you don’t need extra oxygen in the very place where oxygen is lacking 🫠
Sounds like a case of experience feeding the ego and arrogance.
Would you want someone to help you if you was in this kind of peril??? Would you want someone to do the humane thing an lend a hand to save your life . The world has turned into such a me myself and I kind of world, but I guess the fact that I am a EMT an I put my life at risk every single day to save other people, and iam a Christian an I believe doing the decent thing ,an all life is precious might make a difference in my heart.
@@tinadailey3934 he is to blame for his own mistake. Someone else may of tried to help but if it’s costing their life it isn’t worth it. If you want you could climb up and help these climbers. I don’t ever plan to climb any mountain peaks cause I’m not stupid.
It's reported that green boots has now been moved from the cave and given a burial in a crevice like other climbers that have lost their lives on Everest.
Correct..
Finally
I'm glad to hear that, that pic I saw of him was heartbreaking!!
Now they need to work on moving Don Cash near Hilary step
Imagine dying on Mt.Everest and being remembered as NERD climber 😭
He’s not. That’s just the title of this video 👌
It's mean and disrespectful of the poster. Douche move on his end.
@@brenainnstrangeSo true! Very disrespectful.
Many of the people commenting on Sharp's unfortunate fate have missed an important point about other climbers passed dead and dying people during their ascent of Everest and descent from the summit (if they made it). It isn’t something they wanted to do, or should be ashamed (or proud) of doing; it’s something they had to do - inasmuch as they “had” to be on the mountain in the first place. Climbing Everest is a tremendously dangerous thing to do and if the weather or some other factor turns against you, you die. They slopes above 8,000 metres are called The Death Zone for a reason, and if you lose the ability to move under your own power at that altitude for any reason your chances of survival are virtually nil. Moving the weight of your own body and all the clothing you are swathed in and the equipment you are carrying is as much as the most supremely fit person can do, and doubling that burden by carrying or dragging a dying person is a death sentence. Two death sentences, in fact. Singling out one person for doing what many, many people have done before them (and will continue to do long after they have gone) ignores this simple fact.
Especially when the person singled out was a double amputee..FFS..
As a professional climber , David knew the risk his was taking , but decided to go unprepared. He also knew the reality of not being able to be rescued - since this was Everest , and not just any hike. Anybody , who decides to go there, is aware of the situation they might find themselves in, and if they don't , they shouldn't be there in a first place.....
Yeah if you go into that climb you have to be 100% committed and know that you are responsible for yourself. It’s only got worse since it became a damn tourist attraction.
@@SchruteFarms It's not like they even climb Everest anymore. They leave the real climbing to the Sherpas and for them to put all the fixed lines in place then just pull themselves up the mountain.
As a professional Combat Medic, not a single person knew David's circumstances, when they came upon him. Everything you are saying is with the benefit of hindsight. Therefore, each an every person who saw him and then passed him is a cowardly, barbaric and selfish human being. If you want to align with them so be it. Stop acting like going out on a voluntary self fulfilling lark is anything akin to facing uninvited danger. Military and Firefighters never leave a man behind, period!
You are on your journey. You encounter someone in trouble. You pause your journey to help the human in trouble. If you have to reschedule your journey, regardless of inconvenience or cost, you reschedule it. You do everything in your power to assist that person. You pass him, you are a coward. period. Notice how the non-western people were the ones to help him, even when he was beyond saving. Pick your side and then live with the guilt, but don't act guiltless. It doesn't look favorably on you or your family's name!
@@glassesstapler Many people did stop and try to help. He wouldn't let them and waved them away. There's a documentary where he was actually filmed the first time he was spotted. His nose, lips and cheeks where all black, when he was pulled out the cave by people and out in the sun in the hope it would warm him up as he could t stand and was all but frozen into a seating position. All anyone could of done was sit with him as he died, but they couldn't as they would of frozen at worst or loose fingers and toes to frost bite at best. Stop moving when your up there and your dead.
@@glassesstapler No one needs to act "like going out on a voluntary self fulfilling lark is anything akin to facing uninvited danger." He entered the death zone, he invited the danger and he refused help.
The dude who slipped off Mt Fuji on live stream is a crazy video to watch. It's wild how some people disregard some things with that "won't happen to me" outlook.
Just watched that before this it was crazy
@loudog3998 Let me guess. The Mt Everest rabbit hole on youtube mixed with the submersible story. Fu**ers fu**ing up 🤣🤣
It was horrendous the way Mark Ingils got vilified in the papers and by Sir Edmund Hillary himself for leaving him or not doing enough.
That story is still insane to me. Mark barely made it down himself, and they placed the blame of David Sharpe dying on him? 🤦♂️
@@redgringrumboldt8983 it's that old little thing called "The blame game". People seem obsessed with always wanting someone to blame. Even if it is a double amputee. There was an interview I saw a while back where even David's on mother's said she holds no responsibility towards anyone else and he knew the risks.
Very ill-judged comments from Sir Edmund Hilary, he should have apologised to Inglis
@@LTNetjak That's because he was able to carry himself up the mountain. 🤷♂️
That is probably the most infuriating part of all of this to me. Sure, blame the man with no legs for not throwing Sharp over his shoulder and somehow carrying him down the ladders and over the ice falls. The sad truth is Mark got blamed because his name was the only one people knew due to his historic climb.
What the heck were these other climbers supposed to do? Trying to carry a fully grown adult down the mountain could get you killed and if the sherpas couldn't help then no one could
Stay with him, give him oxygen and see if they could get him to be able to walk that way. If that was done by the Inglis team, which was among the first who found him while climbing up toward the summit, it may have worked. They also could have radioed back to the camp so that someone could bring up additional oxygen and other supplies that could help them warm up Sharp.
They try to excuse themselves by claiming he was practically dead and beyond help at that point, but since he was still alive and even able to speak a few words more than eight hours later, it isn't at all clear that was the case.
The argument that trying to help would put themselves at risk doesn't work either, because this was on the way up, they kept climbing toward the summit and it took them eight hours to get up to the summit and back down to the green boots cave. This proves they had more than enough strength and oxygen to stay with Sharp for a few hours and share their oxygen with them if they aborted their summit attempt. But they would have to abort it to do that (without risking too much), which is likely why they didn't do it.
Nope, I don't feel sorry for him. His ego cost him his life. A perfect example of "Every body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person".
He obviously doesn’t want anyone to feel sorry for him he went out like a boss. He was a real climber and was probably happy to go out like this guy deserved his spot on the mountain. He knew he was gonna die so he refused the oxygen not cause of ego but because he didn’t want to waste their air
His fate cannot inspire anybody. The risk he took was too big!
He wasn’t the experienced climber he thought to be, his equipment was poor and it was a bad idea not to climb with an expedition. He also didn’t have any satellite phone with him and no oxigen. All the other people being at their limits could not help him. So his whole attempt to summit alone without oxigen was a failure.
It’s not to blame him, no, I feel very sorry with David Sharp, but it’s important to speak about deadly mistakes in mountaineering.
Well done story, voice, narration. Thank you 🎇🥾⛏️🏔😊
He’s experienced but decided to go alone, with no oxygen, supplies or way to contact others. From watching a lot of these kind of videos every climber is responsible for themselves, I think it’s very selfish of others to blame anyone else but David. They aren’t responsible for him & if he was that experienced he would of known that too.
Better to die frozen rather than the idiot who got stuck in the nutty putty cave.
It wasn't tragic. David knew exactly what he was getting into and that survival isn't guaranteed with ascending and descending Everest. I see people find it way easier to blame others for supposedly not trying to help him instead putting the blame square on David himself. People did try to help him, but given he was barely even conscious and couldn't move, nothing could be done. What do these people, who are blaming anyone but David think other people could've done? Risk their lives by trying carry David down or roll him down the mountain at 24,000 feet? Trying to lift or move David would've expended so much energy and oxygen on some guy that decided to play a stupid game and won a nomination for the Darwin Award for 2006. It seems David was more or less suicidal and wanted to die on the mountain, imo.
It was tragic för his mother.
Even if you had all of the energy in the world, there are parts of Everest that would be physically impossible to carry someone over. There are affixed ladders you have to climb. How do you carry an unconscious person down a ladder? There are fairly technical, near vertical ice climbs. You *have* to be able to walk on your own feet. There is no other option.
How can anyone climb a mountain that is littered with dead bodies?? It’s insanity!!! All egomaniacs!!
It's their choice. Why so emotional. People die on other mountains and other sports / professions too. Let them challenge themselves. We don't need to feel sorry for them but can respect their choice
Until the day you keep considering the mountain as your opponent, you can never get away from it. This is a reminder that mountains should never be climbed out of ego. It's important to consider everything that's meant to be equipped with for safety. Had there been a team or atleast one sherpa alongside him, he would have descended to the camps or atleast would have called for an emergency help. David died doing what he loved the most.
And this is a reminder that mountains aren't a place you consider your opponent. Respect it and it will get you out alive in the ways you wouldn't even imagine. The mountains are never an opponent. Rather, it is more like an ancestor.
Excellent point . The mountain is not an opponent. It is an experience. Successful summit or not . The mountain will always be there .
The mountain reigns supreme.
People do not conquer mountains .
Well said. As you put it, many people died up there and why he got so much more attention ?
Well done with great narration!
He overestimated himself and underestimated the mountain. No one can be forced to risk his life for another climber at such a dangerous altitude. It would be life-threatening for those who try.
I really wondered why this specific incidence is getting so much attention. There are people dying on the Mount Everest each year and I assume many of those fates are quite similar. Their health rapidly declines, they cannot go any further, other climbers notice but can't do much because, well, it's the death zone and not possible to save another person under those circumstances.
The very climber David took rest near to, "green boots", had a sad death too but his story didn't get that much attention, his name is barely mentioned either.
Not to take away from the tragic individual story - but I really wonder why this specific incident is getting so much attention, what dynamic is at work here.
How did the other climbers not help him? It sounds like multiple groups of people attempted to help and the gentleman refused. At some point personal responsibility has to be considered. He made all those choices, to travel alone, without oxygen, without radio, refusing oxygen from Ingolls. We seem to forget people have free will. It's easy to blame the folks that offered help, but that doesn't make it right.
I am not even a mountain climber, even remotely. But common sense tells me that if you take a gamble on a climb like this, and lose, you better be prepared for death. And prepared to decline help from other climbers. Knowing that expecting aid from another climber could mean death for them as well. These extreme climbers must have to make their peace with death before every climb.
His body was removed and pushed off the cliff of the north face of the mountain. Just like many other bodies, they were disposed into the crevices of the mountain to not be seen anymore. Green boots was covered by stones as they team removing the bodies were unable to displace his corpse, so they covered it.
So if i ll be around there sometimes i wont see them ?😢
He wasn't an expert he was a fool. Those who think they are in control of Everest are fools, and some will die.
During this same period of time, billions of people stayed off huge, dangerous, expensive mountains and did just fine.
He chose to attempt summit alone. A very poor decision on his part. Not right to blame other climbers for not getting him down.
egotistical decisions accounts for his lost of life. Crazy
Climbing Everest solo with no oxygen? It’s basically suicidal
I'm on the mountains side. And i truly hate to say this but maybe the mountain shouldn't let anyone survive. People stay off of these mountains we're not supposed to be up that high. Take the not so subtle hints, ie: dead people on said mountain.
Almost the same happened a couple of days ago with hungarian Szilard Suhajda. R.I.P
Sharp decided to take a risk no professional climber would have ever taken - and the risk has taken Sharp. That's it.
I have never looked at a mountain and thought that I needed to climb it.
This is the first bud about this that I’ve read the comments and agreed wholeheartedly. You can’t be going off like that with no accessories
I don’t blame anyone for passing him by. Helping him can be detrimental to your life.
When he said that you're never alone in the mountains I couldn't help but think about green boots
It's almost as if Sharp wanted to die on the mountain, like that was his endgame
Good video but David Sharps body was not left on the mountain. His body was brought down from Green boots cave and was buried under a pile of stones as seen at the end of the video Thats where his body actually is today. His death occurred at the end of the season. Before the start of the next season the Sherpas laying the ropes brought his body down This is confirmed by Russell Brice. The family requested and Russell Brice agreed. So far, I have never seen an actual picture of David Sharps dead body in his location. The timing of death and his quick removal helps explain why there are no pictures. The last report of his body was he was on the trail in the sunlight-not in the cave seated.
I know there is video of his interactions with several of the climbers trying to assist him but that footage has never been released, as far as I know. There are a few images that show part of his clothing and equipment.
There are fake pictures of him from a docudrama and some videos that mix actual video and docudrama video. It gets confusing.
In this video 5:53 we see a blurred-out picture. Probably from the docudrama
at 8:16 we see a picture of Mark and Sharp. This is 100% from the docudrama not actually Sharp or Green boots. The docudrama did such a good job matching equipment (Millett boots) they really complicate the matter.
if anyone wants to see in real time the discovering of sharp alive on the mountain by The Lebanese climber (what a kind man he is) watch the Discover Channels series season one specifically episode 6 of...... ( I have to go google the name) Oh.. Beyond the Limit S1 E6 It tracks Russell Brices team up and down the mountain. Coming down they ran smack into David Sharp alive and speaking. ( his known words are "my name is David Sharp" and "Asian Trekking" when asked what group he was with).
Things to note Sharp and Green boots are no longer in the location they are known for.
If you go down this rabbit hole Like I did years ago you will find contradictory claims of who said what when and to who. Who raised the alarm of concern to whom and when they did it.
I consider the claims of Russell Brice to be most accurate in this regard and I see no change in his consistent and empathetic version of these events over the years.
You should start with episode 1 but if you want to see the interaction with Sharp, search 'Everest Beyond the Limit Season 1 Episode 6' on CZcams and you will see the drama unfold.
I think it's easy for people who weren't there to say that people who were there should have helped more but hard to know whether they actually would have helped more if they were there. Lots of people did try to help him but he refused or their help didn't work. What concrete additional things could people have done to save him? Could someone have carried him down or carried something up to him that would have made a material difference?
I don't understand why he insisted on doing this climb in such a dangerous way.
Sharp reminds me of Christopher McCandless. Overestimation of one's own ability, underestimation of the power of the elements, resulting in tragedy. I hope his family has been able to find peace.
I thought Everest was meant to be the ultimate challenge. Here, you've got dozens of people in single file walking to the top. A man with no legs getting to the top?
The Sherpas do all the work. You don't need to be a mountaineer anymore to summit Everest. You just need to have a lot of money and be in shape.
Hard to say if you can “blame” anyone for not being able to save an unsupported, no-oxygen climber in the death zone..people who have been say it’s just not possible to carry someone down. But seems very weird to me that the double-amputee climber apparently got criticized in particular (according to other videos), including by his childhood hero, Sir Edmund Hilary.
It sounds like maybe he went up there to die. The alternative scenario would be that an extremely experienced climber did basically every single thing that you’re not supposed to do. Not just in the last hour, when your mental state might be affected by the environment in your physical condition, but from the early planting of the expedition all the way through to the bitter end. It’s pretty suspicious.
That’s why they called it “ The Death zone.” People need to watch documentary before understanding why this mountain is no joke. Sad part is they keep excepting inexperienced climbers up this mountain and yet hundreds are dead on this mountain, once you hit the death zone your playing Russian Roulette with your life. Unfortunately this What happened to David. He knew what he was doing and the out come. A lot people died because of there poor choices, just because you have the money and claimed many mountains still makes you no expert for this mountain. All I know he died doing what he wanted to do.. it’s unfortunate situation.
You have to know that death is a very strong possibility if you are gonna scale Everest. You also have to know that if your climb goes sideways for some reason, rescue may not happen, even if you are going through an outfitter. Now knowing all of this, why would people want to cast blame or point fingers, when Mr. Sharp made the conscious decision to summit the mountain on his own, with no back up oxygen and not informing people of what he was doing. The climbers that encountered him did what they could do for him but unfortunately, he put himself in that position. You can not expect someone to risk their health and safety, even more than they already are. It is sad that he died, but he put himself out there. A classic case of F around and find out.
Your animation of Camp 4 is of the southern route. David took the northeast ridge route where the highest camp is camp 3.
RIP Sharp 💐💐💐
I find the psychology of the people who do things like this fascinating. I wonder if "Death wish" is real and is part of the human condition. Given there are always new and greater challenges combined with people's insatiability, it seems death is an inevitability.
R.I.P
"May his memory inspire us to pursue our passions"?
Okaaaaaaaay.
His death is caused by his own pride and foolishness.
It makes no sense to me that these people are still getting sympathy. They chose a senseless egotistical challenge surpassing regards to the most important priorities of humanity. Family. It’s shameful.
It's your most important priority you don't speak for humanity.
"he died doing what he loved" say the adrenaline junkies, as if someone would love to sit and wait for their demise exhausted, frostbited and hypoxic
@nashooo5903 Well look at the world going to pot around you. Maybe he wanted to leave the earth in one of the most peaceful serene places on earth away from the insanity and chaos and high above it all.... to give his spirit a jump start flying back to heaven.
@@SkyCloudSilence did you even read what I said? sure, it looks pretty in pictures, but there's nothing peaceful about that place.
@@nashooo5903 death is ultimate peace, my friend
Since the atmosphere is 1/3rd the density as at sea level and a person can't get a proper full breath above 8000 meters, was it really his last breath or was it his last 1/3rd breath? Was his last breath before he ascended above 8000 meters?
I can’t believe you called this guy a nerd in your title. Imagine dying and the news broadcaster refers to you as the nerd LoL
i was so pissed when edmund hillary shat on mark inglis as if a double amputee is gonna save him knowing that even able bodied people need the victim to help themselves... like so unfair to put that on him.
Arggh I cant! The arrogance is unbelievable. Not even Sherpas who are genetically built from womb for this environment, are that nuts. Arghh
Great video! I wonder where Sharp got the money for all these expeditions?
Why are you blurring the corpses? Plenty of channels show them fully.
It’s sickening to think about their goodbyes to their families. Sorry son, daughter, mother, father, wife, husband but I MUST do this. Why? I must throw my life away for my ego and oh you can’t retrieve my body to say goodbye 🙄 ignorant as fuck.
You put yourself in dangerous situations and you die what a shock
To try and climb Everest without oxygen/gear is basically suicide. It's been done, but the few who have were in peak physical condition and were very healthy and strong. David was nowhere near being in top shape, so his "attempt" was a one way ticket to death.
The few who did it without bottled oxygen are the only ones that should count in my opinion. We take medals away from athletes who used steroids because the steroids give them a level of performance they can't achieve naturally. I think the same principle applies.
@@MakerInMotion For sure. Tbh, I don't really consider these people to be true "climbers" since they basically have their hands held the whole way by actual climbers, the Sherpas. They're essentially passengers while the Sherpas are the ones hauling gear, fixing ropes/lines, etc....basically, babysitting rich white folks and keeping them alive in a place where they have no business being.
Green boots was removed btw, in 2014. Hes not still sitting there.
E erybody going up to Everest knows the risk and knows thT others will not be able to rescue you without risking zheir own lives. They expect the Sherpas to do it and all too often they die with the climbers. I am sorry but who goes up there risks dwath.
Some people seem to think risk is zero until it's 100.
Some people do this for ego! The people I truely feel sorry for are their loved ones they leave behind!
Great story telling 🫡
Rip my dear
why do you blur pictures?
with a guide you would also know what to do w weather challenges. he chose to go alone and not tell anyone
Good job mt Everest.
You’ve frozen another one in time.
I’m on the mountains side.
Look at this dude x)
Whether it's climbing Everest or diving for the Titanic, you have to accept the dangers. However it's incredibly stupid to cut corners on safety.
Sad story, but these climbers know the risks. People especially non climbers shouldn't be blaming the others for not helping him. They have no idea what it's like up there. i am not a climber and have no interest in trying. At least Green Boots has a buddy now. RIP Sharp.
"The focus on summiting"? It's more of the focus on their bank account and how much they paid to get escorted to the top. I assume most of these people are not real mountaineers. They got some time and cash to burn and have everest on their bucket list. Don't expect the same etiquette.
Imagine living a whole life and then someone makes a video about your death referring to you as a nerd.
Your information is wrong David Sharp and green boots are both not on Everest anymore, they have been taken down and buried by their families... About 3 years ago..
I don’t see how he was a nerd? It’s not like he took a gaming system with him or a pocket protector? He was a bad ass climber who got in over his head and was a bit over confident perhaps?
Not that they were obligated but you'd think one person out of 35 would have the heart to drag this guy down, rather than summit. This leads me to believe that the rich are out for themselves. Prove me wrong
Not wrong most of these people are narcissistic monsters with one goal to summit. But does this include everyone, even those that die, they too can be monsters.
Turns out he wasn't so... sharp. 😏
Everytime I hear his story I cannot help but think he made the conscious decision to succeed or die trying this time. I think Sharp made it to the first step, realized he needed that bottled oxygen and could only make it to green boots cave before deciding to sit down and die. He is responsible for every failure he experienced on his final climb.
This is like drowning. If a person can't swim or it's very dangerous waters,you drown because both of you will die if they tried to do it
Is the view from the summit really worth it?
Other climbers around? But they are not there to save you
Everybody knows the risks and I'd seen the documentary about what happened they tried to blame others climbers for his death the truth is that it was his fault 😔
What a title
more to this story. not a bad video but there's other YT videos with more background info about David Sharp and his attempts.
11:18. He has inspired me. I’m gunna go to the moon without a space suit.
Go in a homemade submersible is a better idea.
I would like to see those bodies slowly lowered from the mountain. Each trip back someone pulls him 10 20 ft back down they can recover the bodies and not expend to much O2 or energy.
It’s now called ‘Sharp Green Boots Cave ‘
It would be hard enough to carry someone down a large hill. Expecting to save someone from the death zone of the highest mountain on Earth is ridiculous.
He went there to die. I fully and wholeheartedly believe that. 3rd attempt & he knew… he didn’t even accept oxygen! Who does that?!
You couldn’t pay me to take the risk of summiting.
If you are in a hobby/sport where commonly you find yourself comfortable leaving some one to die and using dead bodies as reference points perhaps it's time for a new hobby.
I feel so sad for him. He was foolish but that doesn't mean he deserved this slow death. I wish someone would have helped him. This is so sad to me. He's a human being. People just let him wither away. Could have at least given him a blanket.
People tried to help him but he refused f.e. oxygen. Without him wanting help and being able to even move a little you can't help.
You really think a blanket would have helped? For what? To cover the body?
Yea of course a blanket. An electric blanket. Just plug it in . There are electrical outlets available… 😮
Lark , you are a comedian right ?? .. a blanket.. u do realize mt . Ever- rest is 29,000
Bazillion feet above sea level..?
A blanket? Great punchline.. 👍 hilarious
Or a kick down the slope.
no time to help, gotta reach the top
David's body was brought down from the mountain in 2007
So there was someone to claim to see a light or someone at the top of a Everest that he believed to be sharp
he just thought he was the main character did all the terrible decisions based exclusively on the belief he was better than everybody because he was a "purist" and was going to do it in the right way, in this story I just feel bad for those who were accused of not helping someone who from the beginning was not even helping himself.
Calling him a "nerd" seems an unnecessarily harsh and somewhat inaccurate description of this man as nerds tend to be cautious, overly prepared and take time to study. David Sharpe was clearly an idiot.
Alot of these stories consist of people failing to properly prepare.
People just stay alway from that place its Hunted for sure and death begging to take you.R.I.P to every climber that passed on that Mount Everest !
