- In May 1996, a severe storm trapped several climbers high on Mt. Everest as they were descending from the summit. A total of eight climbers died in what has become one of the deadliest single tragedies in the mountain’s climbing history. One of them was Scott Fischer, a renowned climbing guide from Seattle, who was born in 1955 in Michigan and moved west in 1982 where he founded Mountain Madness.
This is his story !

I met Scott at NOLS in 1977. He was our rock climbing instructor during a semester course (FS II). Our next time spent together was in December/January 1979-80 for that year's New Year's Grand Teton Climb. Scott was the lead instructor.
I needed a recommendation from Scott to be eligible for the NOLS Instructors Couse in the summer. At the end of the climb, I skied out to the road head with Scott - just the two of us. Scott was ahead and said he'd meet me at the parking area. I decided that I'd stay with him somehow.
When we arrived - together - (I was exhausted), Scott smiled at me and then said he'd write the recommendation. I was about as happy as I'd ever been. Went on to take the I/C that summer and stayed in touch with Scott until Everest 1996.
Yes, that guy could motivate people like nobody else I have ever known. I can hear Scott saying, "It's the attitude, not the altitude."
Great story and special memories 👍
well, it actually WAS the altitude in the end. what a surprise, NOT.
I suppose that you make a valid point. But he probably kept a good attitude right to the end.
It was the attitude and not the attitude until it wasn't.
@@allanfifield8256 well said
I have watched many videos on this event and yet this one will forever make me remember Scott Fischer because of the beautiful picture you presented of him as a selfless human being with his many charitable projects. I love your to the point and yet respectful presentation
This is one of the most positive reviews of the 1996 season that I have ever watched. I particularly appreciate the respect shown for Anatoli Boukreev who received a lot of bad press following the 1996 tragedy.
Thanks for watching. Anatoli Boukreev did his possible best in those difficult conditions on Everest and rescued many lives.
It was actually only John Krakauer who massively BAD MOUTHED BOUKREEV , writer of bad novels J.Krakauer this US pseudo mountaineer who wasn't even making the attempt to go back up and save others as did Anatoly Boukreev twice. This Celebs or VIP American PSEUDO mountaineers thought that with paying Scott Fisher a lot of money they didn't have NO RESPONSIBILITIES AT ALL WHAT CONCERNED THEIR OWN SAFETY Krakauer should know that there is a mountaineers code trying to save others...this code didn't seem to apply to Krakauer and the other US Pseudo Mountaineers. The famous Billionaire woman who delayed the whole ascension with making the Sherpas bringing up Camera and other heavy equipment to the top was irresponsible and only concerned about her own Fame. That the only person(Anatoly Boukreev) not NEEDING OXYGEN WAS THE ONLY ONE STILL HAVING A FUNCTIONING BRAIN and clearly told Scott Fisher to descent before reaching the top which would have saved most lives. Oxygen was probably tainted since Scott Fisher switched to a cheaper local supplier and the tainted oxygen prevented Fisher from clearly thinking and assessing the situation.
@@epicadventurearchives Boukreev is a damn hero.
Maybe that (and Messner) was the reason it came to the insane decision to summit annapurna southface in the winter
@@HansFlamme That’s an interesting theory. I hope not.
That garbage on the mountain is absolutely disgusting. Shame on those who dumped it 😐
you are free to go and collect it...but just think what is floating in the Oceans and that YOU US CITIZENS are 70 years behind in using GARBAGE AS FUEL FOR GARBAGE INCINERATION PLANTS WHICH PRODUCE ELCTRICITY AND HEAT...clear the Garbage in USA-Canada first...BTW all cities in Europe have garbage incineration plants...also the garbage in the oceans is yours USA.
There’s over 200 dead bodies on Everest. I think I’d be more concerned about that rather than bitching about some oxygen bottles left in a place that you’ll probably never see.
@@swedejohanson7739 why, the dead are dead, freezer dried, they don't pollute nothing and with some beliefs are where they loved to be
@@swedejohanson7739 🤣🤣🤣🤣
you have a nice day and keep your biatching to your ‘joyful’ wee little self. Up you go, collect the bodies then
@@lisadolan689 lol, I can say the same for you. Grab you a box of Hefty trash bags and go on up the mountain picking up trash along the way! Have a great day!
Man, your video is truly outstanding. A very, very kind, informed & passionate storytelling. Much respect!
What a legacy and thank you for sharing the generous and wonderful life of Scott Fisher. No longer a name but a person who lived a full life and left great inspiration and love in the world.
I am sure these videos take a great deal of time and energy, but please know it is absolutely not forgotten by your loyal viewers! I truly believe this channel has great potential, keep it up.
Thanks for appreciation. It helps to keep me making more content. Stay blessed.
Beautifully done. Rest in Peace all who did not make it back home.
They are dead, not reading YT comment sections
Your videos really are a breath of fresh air, great work. 👍 I really appreciate how you focus your stories around a person & their life... letting the facts & photos paint a picture of a personality rather than a tragedy, while leaving the viewer to judge things for themselves. We can all learn something from other people's life stories. RIP Scott 🤍
Thanks for appreciation. Stay blessed.
Lot of people pass away climbing mountains the price is high
Thank you so much for making this. Scott was an idol of mine when I was young and into climbing. That picture of his children at the end brought tears to my eyes.
The turn around is 2 pm; both he and Rob Hall failed to follow their own rules.
This was wonderful. I've never seen some of these photos before. I loved the picture of Scott's children. Thanks for sharing.
This was a great mini documentary! I learned some things I didn’t know about his story. Excellent work!
There's one glaring fact that has been kept secret from the public by surviving climbers who were on Everest that fateful day.
Graham Radcliffe, who was on the South Col on the evening of the 10th of May [but was not even mentioned in Into Thin Air or any of the other accounts of the disaster that I've read] spent three years of dogged research before he found the truth, that both Fischer and Hall had access to two highly accurate weather forecast services that warned that a storm would hit late on the 10th of May [That's why the IMAX team abandoned their 9th of May summit attempt]
It's incomprehensible that two highly experienced high altitude climbers would not only take their mostly inexperienced climbers to the summit knowing that a storm was bearing down on them but how they ignored their turnaround times with that knowledge.
Not only did surviving climbers like David Breshears and Ed Viesters hide that astonishing fact but how they still refuse to acknowledge the truth after it was revealed by Graham Radcliffe.
Maybe Radcliffe is mistaken. Ever think of that?
It’s very easy to judge from the comfort of our couches. Read more memoirs. Many of them were published. I hiked to 14000 feet. I know what it means to struggle for breath. There were different circumstances, it’s not flat , there are ridges , you can’t carry anybody or anything because you are too weak and it’s too dangerous. You don’t think clearly , you hallucinate because of oxygen lack. If some organization pays for expedition , it needs a results. Ask how many of them did not have money to go back to their own country because expedition was called of. Thats why some of them make a decision do go forward instead of going down.
So many dead people attempting to feed their insatiable egos...it's honestly sickening how they leave their trash, their shit & even their dead friends bodies laying around everywhere in their chase for glory
Very interesting ... thank you!
The best account I’ve ever seen of the disaster. Congratulations on such a finely edited and compassionate video on this incredible piece of history. Thank you from Scotland 🏴
Glad you enjoyed it.
It is often forgotten that Fischer was the only member of the Mountain Madness team who died in the ‘96 disaster. I think he overestimated his own strength in the end, driving for a summit he had already achieved despite developing illness, but it is a credit to him and his team that he was the only casualty.
Leave it to humans to find a beautiful, remote location, and turn it into a garbage dump.
absolutely awful
I was thinking the very same thing. Human animals are the most destructive and dirty creatures on Earth. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.
Anatoli was a machine with a big heart and deserves much better...
agreed, a lot of Russians are nothing like Put-in.
@@OziBlokeTimG Boukreev died several years before putin even came to power (officially). I don't think him being Russian played a meaningful role in his name being dragged through the mud. He deserves better because of the slanderous description of him as the "moody Russian" guide who may have carelessly gotten them into the disaster, and coldly abandoned some of the people he didn't want to risk saving. I believe that it was an autobiography of the event by someone else there who either didn't see anything anatoli did, or is just lying to make up a villain, because comparing everyone else's view of his actions to that one account makes it look like nothing less than character assassination. He doesn't get his respect not because he was Russian, even now those who know the truth still don't hold that against him, he doesn't get the respect because of lies about him on a day that he saved several lives over the fact that he wasn't superhuman enough to save the others.
In the west media is always predictably portraying Russians or Chinese and others as the bad guys because that's what sells, lots of things...
I know there are a lot of good people in all these countries...
SF should have obeyed his Own rules! Everyone on that 1996 tragedy went against everything they were told to do. They died and now they belong to everest.
Imt, everyone still in these places are nearly immortalized until the Earth recycles itself.
If you just lead climbed K2 with no Sherpa support you'd be thinking Everest is just a long uphill hike.
Awesome video! Extremely well done, showing deep respect to the climbers and to the challenge of attempting to climb Everest. Thank you!
Gau is amazing. I highly recommend the doco on the 1996 climbing season with gau and a few other climbers from that year
Nice video, good information about the 1996 events and Scott, who is remembered as an exceptional climber. I didn't know either that Anatoli died on Annapurna. Tragic yet heroic stories.
Such a sad ending to an exceptional human. Not only selflessly helping others, but cleaning that beautiful, sacred mountain. Rest in Power wonderful soul.
He was a good man in many ways, and very talented. But he wasn’t a good husband. He was a cheater.
@@luciad5988 no one with young children has any business voluntarily risking their lives like this. It’s just plain narcissistic. A parent can’t be replaced by a memory of that parent’s summit fever nor their desire to be adventurous.
He had taken a sick climber all the way down to base camp just before this last summit. That was why he was so tired. He had just gone all the way down to base camp and back with no rest. Major omission from your video. Poor research.
Valid point, I agree. The duration of my original script was about half an hour and included not only that but other aspects as well. I shortened it because it was lengthy. So I'm sorry for omissions.
@@epicadventurearchives OK, but based on your title, I would expect less background information on previous summits and more on what actually happened to him on Everest.
@@epicadventurearchives also don't be afraid to upload a longer video if you know you have the information for it already. I imagine that the voice over parts are a lot less time than doing the research, so if you already have the research for more, and you think you might risk cutting out details, don't fret about getting away from the 10 minute mark. There's a chance the algorithm might not push it as hard, but I'll wager that your subscription number will more than make up for that if people see that you're making comprehensive videos where you don't have to trade vital information for a shorter video.
Scott Fischer was a great guy…a nice man with a beautiful family who worked hard for what he accomplished….a tragedy how he died but he was doing what he loved to do….
I mean, I don't know scott, I can only see his fruits which paint a different picture than your comment. Noone likes to speak ill of the dead, me included, but the truth is what it is. When someone dies , everyone says " They were a great person, nice to all, loved by all." . Folks speak especially fondly of the most evil folks in the world.
The way scott selfishly died ( he should have called it quits when he took that man down, for the sake of his family . Instead he selfishly gave up his life in hopes of fame and money.), and he put a truelly good man/ a sherpas life in danger in the process. For the sake of greed and pride, says alot about his true personality. As does his giving to rich charities instead of actually helping folks (and one of those charities was a complete scam. Noone ever died of hiv who wasnt given deadly drugs to treat them for it. But granted scott didnt know that. He just wanted to appear nice).
Maybe he was nice guy and fun to be around? I don't know, but his fruits /actions paint a different picture of his heart. 😢
@@aaronwalker8847, who in their right mind would take the trouble to write the like of what you’ve just posted here? Sickening.
@@seanbres Yeah, the truth is often offensive, its the truth though. Its what the evidence says. His climb was over when he went down, he knew that as a professional climber that he would not have the energy required to make it safely to summit and back down. And having long doji sherpa to carry that womans stuff and drag her up the mountain. Were not nice things at all. He almost got alot of folks killed. As a guide, you dont sposed to do that. It aint nice.
He may have started out to love what he was doing, then he joined many others turning Everest into a theme park like joke, including waiting in a long line. For the right amount of money he will take anyone to the top of the mountain, experienced or not, and you can leave all your garbage behind on the mountain, someone else will do the hardwork for you.
@@aaronwalker8847 your rampant ignorance and stupidity paint a different picture of your words. “A complete scam…” you’re dead wrong. And in a twisted way, partially right in that truly no-one ever died of HIV/AIDS itself…. No. What people who have been infected with HIV all die of is the secondary infections, all the diseases that don’t have life-threatening effects on people with healthy immune systems but kill people whose immune systems have been weakened or destroyed (which is what HIV does). But saying the charity is a scam and blaming all the deaths on “deadly drugs to treat them for it” is the same kind of stupidity as seen in anti-vaccine fools who don’t realize that the reason we don’t have major problems with so many of the deadly plagues of ages past is because vaccines work. And now we have outbreaks of measles again because so many selfish, stupid pricks have refused vaccines on behalf of their now-infected, ill children.
Yeah, Scott Fischer died stupid breaking his own rules and climbing past the point of no return when he should have turned around on time and gone back down the mountain instead of pressing upwards and onwards to end up as another suicide on the mountain. Yes, suicide - there is no reasonable excuse that he didn’t know what he was doing. Selfish? Maybe. Putting others at risk? Probably.
I haven’t taken a close look at all the charities he supported during his life - “giving to rich charities instead of actually helping folks….” The truth is probably not what you claim it is there either…. There is plenty of waste, fraud and abuse in many charities and there are plenty of charities that help people less in need instead of making real change for people in much worse circumstances, but I doubt that ALL of the charities you slam as “rich” fail to help anyone at all.
But you’re not going to reach anyone with the parts of your commentary that may well be correct when you throw in the completely untrue BS about a major global epidemic threat that is still a problem today.
I read Into Thin Air in I believe late 1999. The story mesmerized me. Thank you for this.
You welcome !
Most of the tragic mountaineering videos I have watched on CZcams focus on the tragedy. As @medea27 also mentioned I like the way you focus on the life, family, personality, and accomplishments of the climber rather than focus on how tragic the story is. Even your title is more respectful, others would have titled it differently to get more clicks. Scott was a role model and his spirit will definitely live on in the mountains.
Thanks for your positive feedback. Stay blessed.
5000lb of garbage! Do tHey really respect the mountain!?
Very nice account. The high-definition photography is very excellent.
Thank you for posting this interesting video
I have been fascinated by Mount Everest since I was a child. This mountain is in a class by itself. I cheered when climbers made it to the top, and was saddened when some did not make it down from her. I have to say that when the earthquake happened in Nepal, it was the mountain's way of saying "Enough is enough - leave me in peace. It has been proved time and time again that my summit can be reached, and at what cost? No more deaths upon my slopes, or garbage left behind. Leave me as I am."
Very nice report. Thank you.
Thank you for this. As a note, Sandy Hill Pittman, the NY socialite had been short-roped (pulled by a rope tied to her waist) up the mountain by Lopsang Jangbu Sherpa for five to six hours at the outset of the ascent. Consequently he was unable to set the needed ropes for the climb up the Hilary Step. So the climbers were all delayed by 2 hours setting the ropes and so encountered the storm coming down. Lots of mistakes but I suspect no one would have died had she not been a part of the climb. She also indicated to at least one other reporter that she was being by pulled up the mountain against her will. Just an opinion but shared by many.
I have never heard this background info on him before! Thank u for informing me
So interesting. Thank you 🌟
Fantastic description of Scott Fisher and his story ..
This video was very well done! My only complaint (not trying to sound like an ass) but your accent is one im not used to so I didn't understand a lot of it. That being said I still applaud you for narrating yourself instead of using a computerized narrator. I was driving while listening to this so I didn't realize there were subtitles. I'll watch it again when I can actually look at the video haha
Happy to hear the narrators voice. I really like your accent. Your command of English is excellent. Thanks for another great video. 🙂 🙏
Thanks for feedback. Stay blessed.
@@epicadventurearchives god willing 🙏 🥰
Most people focus on the negative but these were real people. I love how you have shown him. Any body that follows everest nos this story. This a breath of fresh air
If this fascinates you, read the books by Ed Viesturs. His experiences and insights are enlightening, exciting, and will help explain why so many climbers die, including mountain guides. "Getting to the top is optional, coming back down is mandatory." One of Ed's most dangerous climbs was with Anatoli Boukreev when Ed didn't listen to his own advice. It almost didn't end well.
I climber Mt Rainier in the early 90's and my head guide was Ed Veisturs, with Lou Whittaker's son as the other guide (can't remember his name). He had just done Everest the previous year and the stories were fascinating. Great guy, incredible climber.
Yes, the books are K2 and No Shortcuts to the Top. They're both incredible.
Well done video! 👍
Great video buddy
Excellent video.
I use to work with Beck Weathers. you should tell his story, its quite remarkable
Thank you for your enlightening video....Namaste.....Finnster
Tres beau reportage, plein de belles vérités, loin du sensationnel vulgaire habituel. Merci pour ce respect.et bravo !
One of his guides didn't have a radio which made co-ordination on summit day during the critical moments impossible. On a climb like this, every guide should have a radio.
Thank you for posting the ft measurements. I am old and only learned ft and inches in school.
Nice work.
Do a video about Rob Hall too pls
He had a child. Extremely selfish and irresposible in my opinion.
What an incredible motivated inspiration, with a heart of gold, a selfless, kind, decent, loving human being. Scott Fischer.
Not only was Scotts achievements rather incredible. However, his kindness and will to help others surpass their goals is even more incredible.. You have a different way of thinking and personality to be a Mountaineer they are beyond positiveness and drive determination strength charisma and will power, mind and body. This is why? mountaineering fascinates me its an incredible way of life of total FREEDOM! The mountains have my soul, for what you see and experience up there is beyond euphoria... This is the absolute way to find out about ones self and what you can really achieve in life.
Kindest regards.
Except toward his family, his children were raised without him. You achieve NOTHING.
I am watching the Everest movie and I kind of feel they could have been better prepared for the whole trip. Like when beck was complaining about his eyes, well rob hall should not have asked what was wrong, he should have done a complete physical evaluation of all his climbers and maybe taking the peope who were sort of noobies shouldnt have gone. I almost wonder if hiking something so dangerous is unethical. My heartfelt condolences to all who died and I feel for the families too and I have so much respect for the climbers and what they did. I used to run marathons so I know what its like to dig, but man thats crazy what they do (climbing in the death zone)
@@marythomas1198 Well I dont think being men is necessarily a rule to arrogance or pride, ND bravado but it probably is more the case.but it definatly is for testosterone.I personally really want to climb mt fugi that would be cool. Also whats super super disturbing is people who are mt climbing are leaving people who are in trouble to die, its immoral and the guy in the video didnt even think he was wrong to do it. I would call him a sociopath. I would equate him to Bernie Madoff or Bell Gibson. I guess in some ways its like the wild west and people have been wanting to climb it for decades and spend 60.000 dollars to do it but dang I would hope that I would never leave someone to die. I guess they shut shut off all links to any empathy at all and climb. However they accept help from shirpas and they get help too so in my conclusion I would say that the climbers who leave others to die are doing something immoral, how can you leave someone suffering.......I dont know maybe I am wrong or maybe I have done the same thing. I know for me I get tired of helping people who are constantly getting themselves hurt when they could be careful and finally I say enough let someone help them. ( I live in a bad neighborhood where people are always getting beat up and overdosing and sometimes after helping enough people I get discusted and sick of helping even though I cant see me ever leaving someone to die, thats crazy I dont know if I could face god and know I did that.!! Anyhow really nice talking to you and thanks for the insite, I will never climb everest thats for sure!
@@planes3333 you seem to have zero grasp on the reality of “helping” others in the death zone. Those who need help are unable to move on their own at altitude, meaning they have to be carried. Those carrying them are also suffering from severely depleted oxygen levels, regardless whether they’re using supplemental O2; it’s called the Death Zone for a reason. The impact altitude above 8k meters has on the body is profound and unstoppable. The odds of another climber, who’s been acclimatizing for several days already at Camps III and IV, the latter of which begins hypoxia, already compromising their decision making capacity, carrying their own limited O2 supply (tanks are heavy and climbers carry only what they need based on anticipated climbing time to the summit), being physically strong and coordinated enough to carry equivalent dead weight are nearly nonexistent but that doesn’t even factor in the difficulty of the descent route itself-when NOT carrying someone who can’t help themselves in any meaningful way). Taking on that task is a death sentence for the average climber and even for guides. You expecting them to do it in a damn blizzard is the pinnacle ignorance and presumptuousness. How dare you try to pass judgment and deem strangers “immoral” when you’re quite clearly functionally ignorant on the subject matter. Worse still is you having the audacity to Monday morning quarterback how it all should be done better when odds are the only climbing you’ve ever done is the stairs in your own home. Shame on you, talking about being judged by God someday while you sit here playing God yourself, passing judgment🤦🏾♀️🙄
It seems like he was a beautiful human being, inside and out
Thank you.
So weird, I know this guy's kid. He's a really awesome guy! Didn't know about this til years later
He was tired and didnt acclimate properly. Due to taking sick people back down. He should have turned around when he met his clients coming back down. Scotts mistakes cost his life. Only his. Rob Halls mistakes cost the lifes of several.
7:50 is the best picture i have seen of this area, i paused for quite a while and learnt a lot. Very well done
I’m always shocked when I watch one of these types of videos at the garbage and oxygen bottles that are left. What a bunch of entitled people. You take something wild and beautiful and turn it into your own dumping ground. Shame on anyone who doesn’t take out what they brought in. Why do these climbers get a break. They are no different than you or I. Ok for sure different from me as I’m afraid of heights lol. But come on now.
Thank you Scott for picking up behind people to lazy to pick up their own garbage etc.
you set the bar high for climbers to jump.
The climbing permit issued by China and Pakistan will include refuse removal. It's expensive to get these permits. I even heard from climbers that some Pakistanis were seen dumping in crevasses.
Most of that trash is from earlier expeditions when ethics were (very) fast and loose. There are now programs and fees for trash removal, and every climber is now required to put down a $4000 cash deposit which is only returned if they bring 18lbs of trash down the mountain (the average amount left per person). So things are improving, but Everest is still the highest altitude trash dump in the world.
And that's not even talking about the bodies... there are dozens and dozens, many in places where it is impossible to retrieve them or bring them down. Most are above 8000m in "Rainbow Valley", named for the bright jacket colors on all the bodies there.
Thank you
Scott Fisher was going back and forth, up and down, being attentive to the climbers. If you just lead climbed K2 with no Sherpa support you'd be thinking Everest will be a cake walk. But every climb is different.
Sounds to me like everyone that gets into the mountaineering business dies. I'll wTch from my chair. But I quess illbto meet my end but I garuntee it won't be on a mountain. TRUTH FACTS
thank you for the informative vid may he rest in peace with the gods
Ego got him killed
Good stories.
I did not realize he was so altruistic raising so much money for AIDS research and CARE. I had heard of his rescue of others with Ed Viesturs. Such a wonderful person. I wish he didn't try to summit after all his clients were descending.
I’m shocked by the number of expert mountaineers that have lost their lives.
So many deaths. Very sad.
Wow. Mountaineering sounds fun.
How hard it must be to turn around when the summit is in sight.
As one commentator put it, "like bugs to a bug zapper" 😂
Which date exact
I was shocked to have professional guides all die on the same day... they all knew better. Rob Hall knew better too.. It made me mad when these people died and left their familys.. Because, THEY ALL KNEW BETTER....
Scott Fisher and Rob Hall both started a commercial mountaineering business.
Both wanted their journalist to touch the highest point on Earth so they can advertise more of their business.
Too many Bad decisions were made which costed their own life as well as others !!!
Bitter TRUTH is they were BLIND BY THE FAME !!!
I can only understand half of what you're sayjng.
The lesson here is , its just a matter of time before the mountain claim your life.
5:00 is where the story begins.
40 just a kid in life far to young
Great
He knew something about Hillary
I wish they would make a hotel on Everest!
On team with clients, a guide always anchors on the descent.
Does that mean the guide is the last to descend?
@@mrasmussen5506 Yes, sorry. The guide at the end is up hill from all and has the responsibility of watching the whole client team. They are the first to act if a fall arrest is needed, judgment calls about climbers getting sloppy, etc. They watch over their rope team on the descent.
Sounds like a lot of fun…
Omg! So many good people dead 😢
died doing what he loved
Greed.
What happened? Uhhhh..... Read all of the books, watch the movie(s)..... Ed Viesturs tells the story best.
Into Thin Air was so good. Dr on Everest is fascinating too.
The children pay the biggest price.
greetings
Nice job with a controversial story.
Most people spend their lives in fear of the inevitable which is dying. But these people chose their death while they were most alive.
They didn't choose their deaths, they were caught out in bad weather and dead horrible deaths.
@@dyejohn1905 sorry I didn't say thar better. It wasn't the way I meant it to sound. I meant to say most of spend our lives trying to hold on to them. But, these people choose to live and die doing what tbey were passionate about. Even if it meant they spent less time on earth..
please put another voice in your video
Informative..vPlease use AI softeare for voiceover.. Thank you
He died.
Im not wasting a single tear on these suicidal people. And they shouldnt ask others to risk their lives on them. His only saving point was that he cleaned up after himself and others. These people who claim they love the mountains are liars. They TRASH the mountain. Jesus weeps.
in response to title, i know what happened, he died on everest?
It's 2022 and channels are still making videos of this subject that hundreds of channels have made a video about!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I barely understand this accent
He was a hottie
Why risk your life to climb a mountain,if you have small kids at home who need their father alive to take care of them. I don't understand.
