The Laila Peak Skiing Disaster
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 04. 2024
- In early June of 2016, a team of 4 Italian Ski-Mountaineers would attempt an ascent and subsequent descent of the steep, dangerous and deadly Laila Peak in Pakistan. Unfortunately, not all 4 members of this expedition team would return from the attempt with their lives intact. This is the story of the team's fateful climb.

The ski descent of K2 video is so insane for many different reasons. Anyone watching this video should go watch that.
The photographs you use in your videos are great, but I found the photos in this video particularly stunning. The picture of two climbers near the summit of Laila peak with the other mountains in the background is amazing. Really gives you some scale.
Agree! I paused for a while on the picture of the two climbers near the summit. That is such a steep slope - such inteprid people to ski down it.
What an awesome group of legends! Going back for their mate. Much respect 🫡 And that mountain looks so unforgiving.. what a peak!
Cheers for the story! Love me some morbid midnight 👍🏼👍🏼
Total respect for them to climb back up and bring their friend down. They could have left it to a rescue effort - huge props to them to do it for him and his family. Very tragic.
Love your channel ♥
no nonsense videos here, always!
This should be called the pakistan mountain disaster channel
You obviously haven't watched many of his videos- only a handful take place in Pakistan, he has videos on mountaineering disasters in: South Africa, Canada, India, China, the USA, Germany, Switzerland, Peru, Italy, etc. You should watch them- expand your viewing outside the Karakouram range!
love some Morbid Midnight right at midnight
It’s only 9pm on Big Island. You in Cali I’m guessing.
It's always midnight somewhere...or within 59 minutes of.
Love every one of your videos, can't-miss material about things I never knew happened. Don't you dare take a vacation!!! Haha
Yes morbid midnight after midnight
ETA-I thought a ski descent was way more fun than a described. I thought it was whizzing down the mountain like the Olympics… not climbing with skis
It depends on the steepness of the descent. It can be so steep that, as in this case, a fall means certain death. The most extreme ski mountaineers know this and do it anyway.
I needed some morbid midnight in my life.
Beautiful mountain face - razor-sharp edges and a gigantic, clean-cut slab of pristine snow, angled almost impossibly. Impossible for me but I see the allure.
This mountain looks so ominous. It gives me the chills just looking at it.
It’s Morbin time
Thank you, great video about a great crew
Early gang, uploaded a minute ago! 😮
Gang gang!!
Its 4am here... Overhanging serac!
A little Morbid Midnight is just what I needed 😊
THis guys makesa living off of death
I don't like his shitty narration, *glooooomy talk* i get it whatever
Lesson learned: take skis off before making a rock traverse.
This gives me 'surfing a tsunami' vibes.
Another great but tragic story brilliantly told.
Personal disasters--YAY. 😁
@@Mrbfgray?
@@Melanie-Shea Just making fun of our fascination, attraction to other's misfortunes.
Tangent: Have you seen "Touching the Void." Best mountaineering impossible survival story ever, unbelievable ordeal fought threw to success.
Yes! New Morbid Midnight at midnight! 🕛
Ngl, that mountainside looks like a ginormous natural ski jump 😳
From Oklahoma, I love your videos
"Sporting top level technical skills and very risk tolerant ": in my reality as perception dictionary that translates to batshit ******* crazy Morbid Midnight anytime you focus on the Karakoram Mountain Range I know someone is not ever coming back . 😢
I don't know jack about mountaineering, damn I didn't realize there were so many mountains that look awesomer than the highest summits (I'm really liking K1). Laila Peak looks like it should be in a fantasy horror set, looks like a monument of Pyramidhead
Oooooh. Skiing disaster by Morbid Mid. Yes please 😁
Cheers
Sweet!
Personal disaster--YAY! 😄
Award winning content good sir!! 👍
Here’s a valuable life lesson:
Don’t ski bad lines
Cool Midnight, another fine video, thanks. 🎉
3:26 Sorry to nitpick, but here you say the peak "largely *relished* in relative obscurity". I think that's an incorrect use of the verb "relish." Maybe you meant that it *resided* in obscurity?
Just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD do it.
That said, deep respect to the crew going back to retrieve their friend so he would be there alone.
High five !
Why is it the people in this video look *exactly* like I imagined they would? It's uncanny.
lets goo, love your videos homie
Someone invite my ex skiing there please.
Is this an automatic/ Computer voice? So monotonous
Besonders that I like the content
Was honestly expecting the name to be pronounced as Lay-la and not Lye-la. My mom's name is Lila and it caught me off guard lol😅
4:00
I climbed it back in 2017 but I dropped my camera & don’t have any photographs. Only 4 of the group died. A fun time was had by nearly all
Did the surviving members of your group take photographs or did they all drop their cameras too?
@@humanbeing2420 yeah but unfortunately they left them at the top of Everest the following week; bummer😉
go to bed morbid it’s late
"Whoever made the first ..." is correct, not "whomever [sic] made ...". There's an easy way to check which to use, besides just looking at the grammatical subject (he) and object (him). "Who made the ...?", well, "HE made ...." HE is the subject, and that's a "who". You would not say, "HIM [sic] made the ..." since "him" is a grammatical object (e.g. "He made him"), and that's a "whom". Another example is: "Whom did you call? I called HIM" (both correct). "Who [sic] did you call?" is wrong,, since you did not call "he". HE = who; HIM = whom.
Ryan treated me like an object.
Thanks Dave
Narrator never set foot in the mountains
Great stories, but can only listen at 1.25x to tolerate such poorly constructed sentences. Do better
These stories arent tragedies....theyre exercises in narcissistic foolishness...tough luck....
Extreme skiing = You fall you die. That's definitely not a ski resort.
More Ski Mounteering please. 🙏

I shit on your memory
I’m an armchair peak summit pusher . Morbid midnight is enough thrills for me 💃🧘🧗♀️⛷️
