I hate what has become of Everest. Humans just can’t leave anything as beautiful as they first found it, no matter where or what it is.
You'd think we would have learned by now but then again the people who can afford those types of treks are the ones who are more entitled and less aware of their environmental impact.
It's true. But all our homes and roads and malls were once beautiful natural landscapes. Everest is just an extreme example of the human condition to destroy
There has to be a line drawn. This is just insanity 😢
welcome to all the planet.
What's it matter what it looks like your never going to see it and if the industry and money that could be made wasn't in place noone else would even go up there to see it, no animals live in that environment to harm. Take away all the money that has been made from the people coming there from the already very poor people that sounds much more evil then some ropes and tents on a barron mountain peak that does nothing if left alone.
These people are climbers, fair enough. It’s those expedition companies I hate who convince Kevin from Kansas City that he too can climb for a small 100k fee.
What you don't understand is even without a guide service, it still costs nearly 40k to climb everest. From 15k for just the permit, to 10k plus for sufficient oxygen for your team (considering you aren't going to try to solo it). 10k plus for appropriate gear. 2k plus for travel. 3k plus in consumable supplies like first aid equipment, food, stove fuel.
@@CountyLineForge Well then, it costs about the same as travelling to Ibiza for a few weeks with your friends (why would you do Ibiza solo). And no one has to die!
@@CountyLineForgewhat you don't understand is that Kevin from Kansas City couldn't do it and he's still up there, frozen solid. Now Kevin doesn't need any of those Ks you listed off, ever again.
@@tinymetaltreesEven Kevin has to know his limits. He is an adult
@@theresachung703that seems to be a problem with some individuals.
Adults that have the capacity to make good decisions with important data sets to guide them- often make the wrong ones:(
Just learned of a Sherpa who's summited Everest 27 times! What an incredible feat of strength and endurance,with a sht ton of experience to draw from.
Damn- I hope he retires. They should pay him for the rest of his life for all the money hes made them. Its like they wont be happy till hes in the ground... the snow- whatever.
1 in 100 die on Everest these days. I’d say he quit while he isn’t a statistic.
Shit is insane what the do. I give them insane props but damn man
He's a legend! Those guys are the real ones.
Had to. For money. But he's got enough and a true Sherpa shld know when he's pushing it. I mean he's like 20 yrs older too..
The photo at 41:31 is just horrendous. Queuing at the Hillary Step as if they’re waiting in the queue in a theme park.
Well said.
Yes lets put a McDonald's right there, the not even need the clown logo because all the clowns are walking right there.
The original climbers of Everest are rolling over in their graves seeing what’s become of their mountain and it’s over exploitation. I find it absolutely disgusting
Lol idk bro I understand kinda what you are saying but at the same time, all those that are there WANNA go up , no one is forcing them. As long as they are not causing intentional decay of that nature, I don’t see any harm in it. Supplies local sherpas with a livable income in a country that hates their existence(chyna)
@@MattttG3they are, though. Everest is a trash heap at the camps. Abandoned supplies, oxygen tanks, human waste. It’s awful, and that’s without the bodies.
Even they left garbage all over. They find camp sites from the 20s, gear from all decades. Unfortunately, it's been that way since the first expedition.
Yeh but they have a lot of company 😮
Original climbers? So those two were ok to climb Everest, and urinate on the summit as soon as they arrived at the highest place any human had ever stood... but I shouldn't be allowed to climb it?
There's plenty of other peaks, 'climbers peaks'. But Everest is a 'tourist' attraction, and a large, much needed, revenue for Nepal.
It should be required that if you hike up the Mountain you bring back a load of trash. Start forcing these people to clean up there mess.
And if your culture is "throw your trash" you don't get to climb at all.
Good luck trying to force people who can spend $100k on such an ego trip to pick up trash. You'd have more success forcing politicians not to lie.
You think the Nepali government gives a crap? Why would they care what a remote mountain looks like when Kathmandu is covered in garbage???? You guys who say stuff like this don’t seem to understand the world outside of the suburbs
@@MMArigoactually the goverment pays sherpas for empty oxyfen bottles they bring back
Ok, as part of the acclimatization routine, NOT Sherpas but everyone who gets a permit has to carry garbage down, and climb back up maybe twice for each camp. By the time climbers have packed 60 lb. of poop and candy wrappers back to base camp dump trucks, and climbed back up, those liable to altitude sickness would have dropped out without dying, and Everest will be tidier!
Yea pay tens of thousands of dollars to have to carry garbage down a mountain, that seems reasonable lol.
Yea but each person does not carries that much with them and only carried about 3 pounds of dehydrated food with them. What is up there now is basically 40 years of garbage. Climbers today do take down there own stuff today when to come to poop and food wrappers, but it is up to the companies to bring down the tents ect. Sometime what happens is the wind are so bad the tent can be ripped up before they can even get them down. Some of the tent at camp 4 have dead bodies in them. As I said what is up there now is decade and decades of trash and bodies. Also people are not paying $50k to pick up decade worth of trash they did not leave. They should be paid since they did not leave it. Meanwhile I blame the Nepal government because it is there responsibity to manage this, but all they care is the money they get from climbers who are wealthy.
EVER ...REST... sounds so fascinating!!! But it become the highest cemetery of the World. Really really true to its name. Forever Rest.
And never decompose!
These videos make me feel sane. 😟
Peter Boardman went to my school though was several years older than me. Our geography classroom was named The Peter Boardman room in his honour.
The Shining Mountain is an amazing book.
It's so nice to see the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature set up to encourage & support writing by mountaineers (&/or writers who love the mountains).
There's something about your opening that makes my stomach clench in apprehension. I think it's the musical "scream" and the blinding light coming through the open door. Do I go to toward the light and maybe fall into a void, endlessly falling or do I huddle in the "safety of the dark room, driving myself crazy wondering "should or shouldn't I move?" Great work, I really appreciate this long format. It's both exciting and dreadful to watch. Thanks Terror Twin for scaring the sh*t out of me.
Props to the guy with the spinal cord injury! I have one myself, but also a snapped spine, so i can only just make it to the kitchen lol While it seems a little thing, that in itself is my Everest, as I wasn't expected to be able to do even that. As for the rest of them, with their garbage and feces and money lust, we don't have to do anything. The mountain isn't happy and it tells them so season after season. That hubris of climbing a mountain that is staring you in the face saying NO is rewarded with death. Don't cry to us about it.
Wow, I wish you well.
I really love your videos about the different mountaineering treks pursued by those passionate about reaching these dangerous, but awe inspiring peaks. When I was in my 20s, I did a lot of mountain climbing and wanted to do more but I was affected by cancer which changed my physiology and made it impossible. I can still see in my minds eye the extraordinary and frightening storms forming below me when I was at a high altitude. It was breathtaking and scary all at the same time! Your videos help me relive how amazing it is to be on a mountain.
I just wanted to say I absolutely love your channel I binge watch it while cooking or doing my makeup lol but I love it when I was younger I would tell my dad that I was going to summit Mt Everest lol I was delusional to say the least but just watching your videos sometimes make me feel like im there in some way… thank you for your great videos ❤
Aw thank you for watching!
@@TerrorTwin yes you are welcome
I was hit with sadness when you said Jeff didn’t wake up, after that happiness when he made it back. 😢 But that’s a lot better than freezing up on the mountain for sure.
Your still dead for a cheap thrill no matter which.
@@RadioRich100 Not a cheap thrill.
Ok , expensive bragging rights.
@@RadioRich100 That's about it. Handing out permits to people who are past 55 is not wise, they do not have the ability to bounce back like a younger person and handing out permits to inexperienced climbers is asinine.
Handing out summit permits to people with virtually no experience SHOULD be classed as murder! FAR too many people heading out to the Himalayas, especially Everest with no high altitude experience whatsoever! IF someone hasn't at least one mountain of 6000M or more, they shouldn't be attempting something like Everest. @@MountainFisher
Im so glad great men like Anatoli Boukreev can't see the state of commercial climbing/mountaineering today. Sherpas losing their lives carring luxury items like tvs over the icefall. Its just so gross, I cant stand it
Seriously? Someone lugged a TV up there? Humanity is ridiculous
Ummm, he did see it. The 1996 Everest tragedy that took Rob Hall & Scott Fishers lives (among others)
He was in Fishers group that had the VERY controversial wealthy socialite Sandy Pitman who took all kinds of extravagant items and made Sherpas carry it all. They helped her so much they were to exhausted to do there assigned job the next morning which was to fix the ropes for the last leg. The climbers came upon the area and had no choice but to STOP & lose 2 HOURS to do it themselves leading to them being very late and many losing there lives! Boukereev was right there with them, saving a few lives! 💙
I agree that there should be more steps to getting a permit to climb Everest. Like some mountaineers have suggested summitting other 8,000m first, previous high altitude experience. Maybe specific work outs? Like I watched a documentary where a guy would bike for 12 hours as practice.
Two routes: the walk up for the rich tourists. The real route for actual mountaineers.
And start making the tourists pack their own crap out rather then shitting on thr mountain. Literally.
You’re talking about cutting in Government $$$. Good luck
Nepal don't care. As long as Americans and Europeans throw money at it they can go up there and die for all they care. Nepal is the 17th poorest country in the world, why would they care if foreigners live or die up there. Everest will always be the tallest Mtn on Earth so its not like it can ever lose its appeal.
It should be for people who are mountaineers, that is, with a serious interest and passion, and heaps of experience.
So true and masterfully explained, I'm a 5 year student of bass and got a huge boost in understanding bass instruments.
I'd like to see a five-year moratorium on climbing Everest. In that five year period climbers would donate their time to clean up all the trash that has accumulated. Make the mountain pristine. And gather up the dead climbers and deal with their remains in a respectful way. Once the mountain is back to original condition the climbing can start again, but with some rules.
Those mountains are surrounded by poor countries whose citizens live off supporting hikers for their basics. Therefore your suggestion sounds to have been made from a point of privilege.
The surrounding countries can support the climbers while they clean up the mess and deal with the dead.
@@kixigvak we have the western nations sinking boats full of immigrants trying to access their borders for genuine work, it’s not gonna happen. Let those nations continue benefiting from their natural resources as clean up paid for by hikers moves on simultaneously.
@@pkangata These people lived here a long time before mountain climbing became popular. I think they would adapt.
@@dwhite6213 adapting means their children don’t get an education and continues lagging behind the rest of the world. The money they get is for basics so it’s not fair to tell them to go without while the western society is creating billion dollar tycoons every year.
Hiking with no sleep is a nightmare so I couldn't imagine climbing with no sleep.
They give permits out to anyone. Even a 79 year old one legged man with severe asthma that’s never climbed do much as a ladder. 😡. Even worse are the climbing companies that will agree to take his money and guide him to his death.
I don't know that we need MORE regulations to keep idiots alive.
If I owned that mountain I would sell $10k permits to anybody, too. Especially if I was a poor country like Nepal. If my population would struggle to survive, I would sell permits that cost me nothing like there was no tomorrow. You could be 100 years old, deaf, blind and paralyzed - wanna spend 10k on that permit? Here you go, have fun dying on my mountain, my stupid foreigner from half-way around the world.
Looking at the 1996 disaster, it’s clear that the commercialized sport of mountaineering is still as problematic as it was 20 years ago. Scott Fischer always tried to clean up the mountain, do his part to preserve it for the future. He just got too big for the mountain in the end. He had to live up to his reputation as a great mountaineer, same as Rob Hall. No one is learning from the past mistakes and it’s going to get worse.
The overcrowding and ridiculous commercialization of Mt. Everest has killed any interest I have in the mountain. I thought about climbing at least halfway up just to see what it's like. But 2023, the deadliest year ever, has put a permanent end to that. I simply cannot fathom approaching it with so much death in such a short amount of time. And K2 is getting worse too with the number of "tourists" rising every year...
@terrortwin Brother thank you so much for putting that much effort into your videos! I cannot imagine how many hours of research it takes to only create one of your videos! i absolutely love them, super interesting. Keep on your good work man!
1. Once Peter had everything to lose, he went and risked it all. Selfish.
2. The governments should document what items people leave with and fine them for each item not brought back. Win-win. More pay and people will be less tempted to leave things behind. Although the risk may be death if people choose to carry items when they should be abandoning them for survival.
i like these mountain marathons
I love me a good compilation. Thanks for posting! 😊
I can't believe Anyone has really survived Mt. Everest.... I love to travel & explore......but Mt. Everest is like "pushing the envelope! Not really....I'll enjoy the view from a distance thank U!!!
That description you just voiced about climbing K2 in a freezer with 747 jet blasts in your face , in pitch black…WHERE can I sign up?? Sounds AMAZING!!
Poor Baljeet got abandoned by the Sherpa she hired, and abandoned on the mountain by the Sherpa and Porter, just WTF?!
They know. This is not abandonment. This is reality. No one gets paid enough to stay and die with someone who is already dead, she just wasn’t dead yet.
she alive 😂 case closed.. just search her name Baljeet Kaur
@@gtr5860 I didn’t even watch the vid. Comment applies to all who risk their lives and the lives of those around them for silliness. Delusional rich morons. Wasting resources. Breaking hearts.
@@haroldbrown6630 listen to the story, it IS abandonment if the first Sherpa picks a better paying client right AFTER she arrives (far from being near death) and then the replacement is still recovering. I'm stunned. One more reason why I personally will never even try. Glad she survived!
It’s not personal. It’s just business. It is a dangerous job and if there’s a chance that the Sherpa might die, he then should have more money for his family. She could easily sue him for contract termination, take her time to find another experienced Sherpa or attempt again. Yet, she CHOSE to push through and put herself in danger for the bragging rights. And no, it’s not abandonment just because the narrator said it. What should the Sherpa and the porter have done? Stayed with her and died together? It’s because they left earlier and got help that she’s still alive. It’s so easy to judge when we are not in that life or death situation, is it?
A climber from Ireland is known as Irish, just for future :)
^
Kinda petty but ok. As a Scottish person, people in the US mistake me for being Irish all the time. I don’t fuss about it though and go out of my way to correct them.
@@GoatSays I think it's less of a 'you mistook me for a person from another country' issue and more of a 'you messed up the adjective for my country'. One's an honest mistake, the other one is just wrong. You yourself might not go out of the way to correct someone if they called you a Scotland person, but that's basically what our friend ZombieSazza is trying to do here.
@@GoatSays…chill, it’s just simple info for the guy who does these videos!
yay a new one! keep them coming, i love em.
Thank you for another great video! I did ones about 5 shocking cases of people living with dead bodies, man who was locked in a secret room for unbelievable 59 years and incredible true story behind highest survived fall without parachute 😮
Mountaineering- following sherpas up a rope
I really think they should limit the number of Mountaineers to attempt to climb Everest every year to preserve the beauty of the mountain. If that's possible anymore.
Everest is a majestical mountain that is still a deadly challenge. Unfortunately climbers have turned it into a landfill and cemetery.
Rich people don't give a crap neither does napal imagine what it will look like in 10 years.
I remember a hailstone only at 2500 in june on the Pindari glacier trek. The heavens opened early afternoon and ive never seen such huge hail stones. They were similar to tennis balls and were so heavy and dangedous they really hurt the body like a punch on the arms and head. I buried my head under the rucksac by VC a big boulder in the middle of a. Opening where the local women took hay down to the villages fof their animals. Its however great that employment and some benefits of money and even medicines have come to the locals enabling them to send kids to scbool and also solar electricity and biogas from the animals poop and compost gas. Thats in annapurna national park which is well touristic and developed. Thdds are far more areas of the himalaya and hindu kush without tourism, climbers and doctors where theres no money. Things have changed generally so much for the better since 1986 when my brother and i trekked Annapurna. What saddens me and angeds me is all the toilet paper and using the rivers as a toilet. These over privilaged spoilt brats believe they have the right to leaving btheir trash, diseases, dysentry, hepatitis and germs and viruses for the locals to pick up. The rubbish piles are so shocking especially round towns in the foothills and lines of pollutijon is evident on the horizon when we look upon the mountains and snow where ive stayed on this ridge many times since 1994. The air pollution from the industrial cities like Delhi, Jaipur and down has left black, orange grey lines of pollution in the air like in New Delhi from the awful smokey diesel Tata trucks and busses and rickshaws that are worn out years ago. The glaciers have receeded enormously and when ive been back in 2007 to 2012 ive been so shocked at how much less permanent glaciers still exist on the peak areas even in hot season. The local town at 1300 metres whick is 700 metres lower down is busy as the people living up in the mountains go there for food like flour, and rice, lentils especially to survive winter. The plastic bags are thrown over the road verge out of town down the foothill sides down several hundreds of metres to the bottom where a pile of contaminated stinking sewerage, chemicals and anything else that cant be recycled by the poorest rubbish scroungers can get for metals, plastic bottles and the rhesus macakque monkeys, birds of prey hunt out any food rubbish or in the case of buzzards, etc they are after the rats and mice and even local wild dogs, ferrule cats or anything else tries to eat it even pigs etc with eating anything like excrement, human. This filth is how those base camps and villages and rivers etc will get if those selfish dirty tourists some of them Indian upper classes from places like Mumbai, some of whom have never seen snow. The Annapurna model at least tries to keep the treks cleaner because they dont want tourists to see piles of muck with the smells especially in the hotter weather where it smells so foul., the €100 treking permits fee is used for improving the paths along the route, building solar power and batteries so they have electric in the evenings and of course many places still have to use parafin lamps now and kero stoves. The deforestation is a problem. Any saplings are eaten by goats, big animals. Everest gets much tourism and much of the money doesnt end up with the poorest locals but corrupt politicans benefit, not the poorest locals and thats a good part of the reason why there have been Mao separatist protestors taking money ambushing people under threat over many years. Theyve had enough and i cant blame them.
When the mountain send you like 2 different signs that you are not welcome or to go down NOW , you listen 🫥
@:35 is terrifying! Falling off a ladder into a crevasse..
The first thing you must, absolutely must learn, is the 180 degree turn.
It’s just insane to put yourself in such danger. Seems very foolish, these aren’t wise people.
I like your videos whether you talk or not. Love this one! Question: have you done any modifications on your tie rods or steering from stock? Thanks. I have a 23 Badlands Sasquatch.
When you talk about climbing the north face of the Eiger, you are not showing the Eiger but Mönch - the mountain right next to it 😉
@ 51:15 I'd be pissed off if I had paid 75 grand to go up Everest just to stand there in a queue like this 😵😬
Joe n Al were true mountaineers in every sense of the word ..
At least Jason passed after reaching the summit. He knew the risks. He went out doing what he loved. I hope at the end it was an easy passing.
If tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you care for me, and how much I care for you,
and each time that you think of me I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do.
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while,
I'd say goodbye and hug you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow.
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you,
Today your life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last.
and since each day's the same, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
And you have been forgiven and now, at last, you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand and share my life with me?"
So if tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, please know I'm in your heart
Beautiful!!
The story of the Indian climber that survived for three days in a crevasse is amazing! He was basically almost given up for dead- if the Polish climber not found him right then that would’ve likely been the end. God bless the Polish climber that continued his search 🙏
Polish climber didnt just find him. He was asked to be part of a rescue mission. He expected to try and retriece the corpse
I wish you could do a whole video just about Alison Hargreaves and her son Tom Ballard. A double tragedy, but also a story that goes full-circle.
They never stood a chance up there, Peter Hillary did exactly the right thing, I only wish Alison had done the same. The only positive to her story is that at least she summited, and died doing something she loved, as did her son. It breaks my heart to this day, it feels like only yesterday 😢
Is it a tragedy, when it is a personal choice? I think this is the question.
@@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied Every death is a chosen decision. Why are just the women criticised for this?
Also her husband was a horrible nasty bully and the ‘marketed’ Alison to keep his stupid loss-making shop open
Wow just wow!!!!
It is not an accident but a game of fools imagining of becoming a hero by losers!
As many dangers as there are just climbing the mountain, how can it be safe for Nepal to allow over 500 climbers in one season to attempt the summits? A Canadian woman lost her life, because she had to wait over 2 hours for the backlog of people ahead in a bottleneck. By the time she reached the summit, it was late and she was exhausted. I think she is up there, sitting beside a rock, leaning back on her backpack. She has a Canadian flag is on her red parka's shoulder.
I agree
I enjoy watching the video and hearing the stories. I will never understand the motivation.
Pete & Joe absolute legends
I live an hour away from Trail! always a great/tragic story about Jeff
The “it just doesn’t matter” was tough
Well done on this video brotha
Amazing sttory. Jeff almost had the right stuff but sadly he lost it. Hope his family is proud.
You mean of how big an idiot he was for throwing his life away for a cheap thrill.
Just for future videos people from Ireland are Irish. Enjoy your videos find it fascinating that people face such danger to climb these mountains esp less experienced climbers.
I have been wondering why he chose to say “Ireland climber” instead of “Irish climber.” In places, it seemed like the audio was cut right before the word “Ireland” and a new recording was spliced in that space. I thought maybe the original audio did say “Irish climber” and he chose to replace “Irish” with “Ireland” for some reason. I enjoy these videos and don’t mean to be rude or insulting - I know this has to be a ton of work and small errors occasionally will happen.
@aliciacotta6738 I noticed that too. The splicing
At least where live in the U.S. it’s sorta common to say the place and then Man/Woman for example when reporting something that happened. Not sure if this is a regional thing. Its not really because people don’t know proper term.
Do they have to get drunk to climb?
Noel Hanna was from Northern Ireland, not the Republic of Ireland.
Thank you for the video. 11:33 Say struck, not striked.
Jeff had it. Shame he didn't live long enough.
The story about Jeff from Trail BC you sort of missed something related. to the right if the photo of cominco "smelter lol" is a huge cliff face its behind the hospital and for generations Grads have scaled the face and written Grad__ on it you can look back years n years. this area is home to a lot of mountaineers many who ran guide businesses on Everest and a big place for Sherpas to come to :) its the next town over for me lol
Awww Pemba 😢
This is great stuff the best you tube vidoes
Rest in peace Rob Slater, you accomplished a feat many have tried and failed. Unfortunately, the mountain determined your fate that day.
How in the world does a mountain determine one’s fate?
Pemba wasn't assigned to the ropes the Korean team was supposed to but instead sat in their tent smoking. Pemba took it upon himself to fix the ropes
It looks like another planet. 😮😮😮😮😮
They proved water has memory.
That mountain remembers.
50:20 I guess most of the climbers are at peace with the reality that, should they die, their bodies will stay on the mountain.
What better resting place for a mountaineer?
I know I would like to stay and , secondly, not endanger any other person just by retrieving my dead body. There's really more important things to do.
I could never even consider this but admire the adventurous spirit of others. What would cause me to not attempt even if could, looking at all those people lined up…causing massive delays would make me not try it. It seems insane. It’s hard enough and only a small window, why are so many even allowed to attempt? Seems just about money. And though it sounds petty, why can’t they have the attitude of…if you brought it up here, you should take it home? Why leave all that trash. Just disrespectful. Sorry if that was a Karen moment to some. Didn’t mean it that way but just looks terrible
Iam not really a mountain climber though l love it .
I went to base camp as a clueless hiker ( a hard core surfer somehow hightided in nepal,, in april may, we walked in from kathmandu road end l met maybe 4 or 5 others doing the same but spread right out , eventually at Namche barely a hand full of other hikers were there the ones ld met the previous 2 to 3 weeks .beyond here l met 2 small actual mountain expeditions English from memory real climbers , nothing really else about , the locals were benefiting abit from this but were surviving as they always had plus with the benefit of Hillarys input and other foreign countries aid
Its a tough call from me as l dont live there, and live acomfortable lifestyle in comparison but they were getting along ok though tough , now it seems they need this chaos to survive , but they always had before the crazy flood of tourists .
People who want to climb Everest are entitled to climb it but I feel sorry for their kids who don't get a choice of what risky things that their parents choose to attempt. I think that they would definitely choose to have their parent or in some case parents still in their young lives.
Most fatalities on Everest are among the late middle-aged. Their children are adults lol
I remember being really upset with my dad when he told me he was going to cave dive.
So a Sherpa/porter dumps a woman because he gets an offer of more money??? I understand that their working period and ability to make money is very limited, they make much more money than most of their peers and other Nepalese people. Decisions that cost people their lives due to money is a bit disgusting. He should have said that last minute someone offered him more money and he needed it, giving her an opportunity to meet that fee, or be a decent human and because he agrees to accompany her, should have upheld that.
A lot of Sherpa complain about wanting more rights, money and respect. But I find it Hard to respect a person that would dump a client last minute after she did the due diligence to find him and arrange her whole trip far ahead of time, ensuring his family would eat and ensuring him a job, only to be dumped last minute because someone with a bit more money but didn’t plan his trip in time and and stay organised flashed a bit more cash.
What about contracts? There should be far more regulation about climbing Everest. I’m talking about experience at over 7000m, regulation for prices, rights and conditions met for Sherpa, an incentive program to ensure that those climbing the mountains bring their personal waste and trash down and a reduction on their permit fee for a certain amount of extra cleanup done. Regulation of permit numbers and maybe focus more on tourism to base camp and opening up these things to non-climbers, keeping the mountain cleaner, less populated and still providing tourism opportunities. I would love to hike to base camp and am trying to get fit and work with my pain team to see if this is a possibility with my Ehlers-Danlos.
Something has to change. For years, the biggest accident and death toll on Everest was due to the 1996 storm. Now? There are too many years rivalling that year due to people not properly acclimatised or who are properly fit and healthy enough. People are in the death zone too long battling queues and these types of things are so easily curbed if there were rules and regulations. I mean…if your Sherpa has to put on and take off your crampons because you don’t know how, what the HELL are you doing on Everest?
The last story is inspiration porn gone wrong. He had no business being on the mountain, due to lack of experience and his body very obviously couldn't handle it. Now his mother has to mourn her son who has survived so many odds.
This is also a story rife with (internalized) ableism. Why is it necessary to do something so extreme and dangerous? To proof to society that cripples can achieve things, too? You can do that without risking your life. You can do stuff for charity without spending 10.000s of dollars to get to Mt. Everest.
This makes me so angry, most able-bodied, fit and young people don't have it in them to do something like that, and are not worth any less for it. Many people are disabled and are just as worthy as any human being. There is no need to proof that you can do things. Do something for others, not just for yourself. Don't do something selfish and foolish and try to sell it off as if you were helping anyone with that. No disabled person is off any better now that Jason is dead.
Agree. He spends tens of thousands of dollars to climb Everest for “charity”
Just give that money to the charity! YOU climbing the mountain does nothing for those with disability’s, it’s the cash that is needed plain and simple
Some of this guys are so rich, they never had to take the trash outside
43:44 Is that the mountain in the films ? At the start ?
I LIKE TO BRING MY TRUMPET TO GLACIERS AND ICE COVERED MOUNTAINS! I ALSO LIKE TO BANG ON A DRUM AS LOUD AS I CAN NEAR GLACIERS TO CELEBRATE SAFETY IN MOUNTAIN CLIMBING! I AM A SMART GUY, SOME SAY GENIUS!
Risky business. Hope it was worth for those who sacrificed their lives for this goal. Some of us listen only 51:54 because we don’t share such goals. Btw, climbing Everest at 63 years old seems misguided.
..struck...again. Not striked again..
He may make grammar mistakes on purpose. When people conment, it feeds the algorithm.
If you cannot cut the mustard as a trail blazer, solo, tandem you definitely are not the real deal mountaineer. Climbers who need the help to have their ropes set and equipment hauled by these legendary mountaineers and legendary guides are worth their salt!!!!!!
For those of you who think this is a summer walk in the park, less then 0.000001% of humans in the world in last 50 years have made to the summit and been able to make it down alive. No matter how well trained you are, so much is out of your control and nothing is guarantee. If everyone could do it, it would not be a challange. But there those people who challange themselves and then are others who love cushy mediocre lives and seem to enjoy always finding something to whine and complain about.
'Striked again' 😂😂
I think people might possibly be addicted to climbing akin to gold fever where they become overcome by the goal and cancel out the possibility of calling it off. I might be wrong but is it all really worth it when the odds are really against them.what drives people to do this, I don't get it, is it an obsession?
Why? What is the point? The mountain is a garbage dump ! People die for what so they say “I climbed this dangerous mountain “ or because it’s there? What a waste of life, money, shameful!
Sad for Peter, but at 63, you shouldn’t be attempting such a thing, however fit you are.
No doubt there are Sherpas of that age, but they born there and have a lifetime of working at high altitude.
😮 12:12
Oh ffs. My brother climbs mountains. You can’t Alpine your way to the summit of Everest.
The edge reminds me of a seeated edged knife
Serrated
Yea. Cause climbing a mountain isn't dangerous enough, walking across a ladder above a crevice is frightening 😮
“Going ahead to get help” = “leaving client to fend for herself” when it came to her porter & possibly the Sherpa. I hope I am wrong.
There is a fine line and million shades of grey between "I am being paid to help this person attain/achieve their dreams", and "they are in trouble, I am incapable of carrying them down the mountain, and I am required to die keeping the client company while they also do". Every person who makes it to the top, must have reserves to climb back down. No sherpas can carry you down.
I have to know: what's the intro song called? Shazam doesn't find it and it's been bugging me for days now :/
Kingdom Come- Theevs. I just HAD to shazam too
@@nimritchopra legend - my sleepless nights thank you :)
@@Anya_khaos You're VERY welcome :)
All rubbish then ropes and camps should be removed from Everest leaving it to real climbers only. Time we have the mountain back and retired it as a carnival/arduous hike to a real mountaineers mountain
All that work for ONLY 2 minutes on top.
2 minutes try a half an hour people are taking selfies and patting each other on the back
Oh noooooooo, not Pemba :(((((((((
You can either go out a hero summiting Everest, or suffer the ignominy of death from a muff diving incident ............ Oh man, what do I choose? Himalayan Peaks every time.
And as always, viewer discretion is advised(AHOHH!!--crash!!)
All Sherpas. They set the way, they carry packs, while climbers just follow, suck 02 and litter. Thats what our mtn climbing has become. I'll stick to Alpine!
HOW can you have 11 THOUSAND VIEWS - and only THREE HUNDRED LIKES ... ????? People are so stingey with their likes!!
Too many inaccuracies.
Funny videos, though.
Good laughs. 😂
Climbed Everest 10 times?? Why. Why why why.
How can you report all these detailed inner thoughts of people who died?
