One thing I’ve noticed consistently with these stories, whenever someone is trying to set a record or climb as fast as possible they seem most susceptible to death.
almost every time.
@@madhatter9001and the well to do think nothing of risking the lives of the needy..... in the process
@@fussypeg8561and the view is the same ..and their record will be broken one day too....just pathetic narcissists
I like to think it was the mountains way of humbling their arrogance. I know that’s kind of harsh but when people believe they’re above Mother Nature she tends to show them her strength.
@@karawigley6231 to me nature appears to be totally aloof of human folly. Nature as such is an unbroken phenomena unlike us humans who have broken away from it.
I struggled to make it up the steps at Machu Picchu. You will never have to worry about me showing up at Mount Everest.😂
I've been up those! It was tough 😂
I'd feel more proud about cleaning up the mountain than summitting it. That would be a truer test of skills than following a line of people. A luggage chain or rope belt of sorts from the top to the bottom would be a beautiful team effort. There has to be a way to do it, these majestic mountains deserve to be restored.
@@draconicfeline6177thats unrealistic. Everything needs maintenance. The mountain moves, avalanches, khumbu ice falls can move 5 feet a day (or more). The death zone would be difficult to put in structures. Its not just one line up except for maybe mpst of camp 3 to camp 4 on the lhotse face south way or kanchung face on tibet side. I dont think its realistic for the environment without considering conplications of the coldor maintenance. Some.summits do go up to clean, others have summited but came to clean lower down or base camp.
The nepalese government has the option of getting people to follow rules but doesnt enforce the ones they have. The chinese side is super clean (minus yak poop).
Leaving all the trash is reprehensible. I have more respect for anyone removing it than anyone summiting that leaves their garbage.
I agree- Let’s clean these mountains up!
The problem is attempting to bring your O2 bottles and buckets of waste from >28K feet can put climbers into even more danger. How about we start a Go fund me campaign to get this going👍
okay karl no one cares get back to watching bargain hunt
If they can't accept risk, maybe they shouldn't be climbing.@@kamakaziozzie3038
@@kamakaziozzie3038Oh no! We can't risk the climbers putting themselves into danger! Seriously, dude, it's their choice and their choice should include basic housekeeping. If that's what puts them off, they shouldn't be mountaineering.
@@kamakaziozzie3038 If they are able to bring their crap up the mountain, they can certainly bring it back down.
I though Muhammad was already passed and that moving him was relatively pointless and dangerous to other climbers. But to know he was alive while people just stepped over him is insane to me.
Honestly, most of those people probably assumed that the sherpas were on it and that help was on the way.
Hamlin's razor. Their actions were more likely to be caused by ignorance than malice.
Oxygen or not no one thinks straight in the death zone and stopping to bring someone down dead or alive is incredibly dangerous and could jeopardize others lives. There should be a limit to how many climbers can be on all 8 thousanders at one time.
Also, people who've preformed life saving measures such as CPR have been sued.
Also, if a Diver "buddy" can see issues with gas and buoyancy and Buddy doesn't call the dive off but tried to stop the diver: that's already legally proven to be everything buddy could have done.
Arm chair quarterbacks don't need to worry about logistics nor the ACTUAL rescue ls and WHY ACTUAL rescues are so amn expensive. They just think these rich assholes are great full for being rescued and not suing anyone and EVERYONE when they need to be rescue. Like they have no idea how these people got rich enough to climb for months out of their lives.
nobody should own the mountain and nobody should tell you whether or not you can climb. if there are too many people on everest, then take yourself off the mountain and go climb one of the other thousand peaks in the himalayas
@@carlholland3819 except ppl don't and all want to try to succeed so I'm not sure what your point is. Too many inexperienced ppl who just assume things will work out for them all. It's the same issue with the Appalachian Trail, and limits have had to be set especially with fire risks and evacuations being what they have been the past few seasons. Everest is even more dangerous, and there's only so many Sherpas who can't always save everyone at the drop of a hat. The fact that numerous thefts of supplies has taken place is really messed up too.
@@RavingKatsthere is so many climbers wich doesn't need sherpas bro ! With all respect to sherpas im must said that
They stepped over him on their way UP. They weren’t worried about their lives.
My heart breaks when I see how humans can completely and utterly trash that beautiful mountain. The pictures I have seen of the trash, oxygen bottles and just plain junk that has just absolutely ruined one of our earths most beautiful place. Shame on them.
Yes and no you don't carry extra weight if your tanks are gone you leave them even 3 or 4 extra pounds can kill you upsetting oh yes but I get the oxygen tanks
I agree but they do send teams of Sherpas to clean up. There's a video about it out there somewhere. They don't want to offend the mountain on a spiritual level!
Everest has cleanup expeditions. I got a piece of one of the crevasse ladders from the cleanup in 2017
@@magickologycan you estimate how much trash 1 person can carry down? Or do they carry it to one of the camps, form piles and have helicopters fly the trash off the mountain?
@@magickologyif you can carry it up full you can bring it down empty. I think it's a total lack of respect for the people who have to clean up after them.
And far too many people doing the climb that have no business being there through the greed of the government allowing it to happen.
I hear a lot about the increase in climber deaths. I gotta be honest, to me this is a self solving problem.
I've been on 50+ mile hikes where some people were not properly prepared and the weather was exceptionally bad. We aborted after three days and only two cases of hypothermia. There were no fatalities, because we'd rather go home than die trying to prove something to the mountain who, it turns out, doesn't care anyways.
Nirmal Purja climbed the 14 peaks quickly but did so without stepping over bodies. He and his crew blazed their own trails. I highly recommend watching 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible.
I also want to note that he led an all-Nepali team and led the first winter summit of K2
"MissionPossible!" Nims Purja and his team - Ethics and competence in mountaineering. Some of these other egomaniacs routinely endanger others for their own supposed glory - what a mess.
@@lc4011just marketing and creative editing for attention
Big deal.
Who cares.
But still with oxygen apparently
I’m going to pass on a sport that has a literal death zone.
Yeah i just dont see the point. I get adrenaline junkies but just buy a motorcycle or something and boom adrenaline rush or like id skydive before this shit
@@billybob501 it's not about a normal adrenaline rush. Mountains just call to some people, the first time I saw Denali as a kid I knew I had to climb it no matter what it took. Still plan to when i can get the training and experience required. To me it's about building a relationship with the mountain, it's like getting to know god. There's beauty and peace but also wrath and apathy of human desires. For some people mountains bring out a desire to perform at our absolute peaks and push the limits of what we thought we could do. It's an instinct some have and some don't. Everyone who wants to do it responsibly should know the risks going in, but to me it's worth it. besides I've gotten hypothermia just walking home from work (my fault, way underdressed in a snowstorm), no one is safe anywhere and we can die anytime. I don't want to die on a mountain, but i don't want to die anywhere else either so i might as well send it.
@@SwipSedai yeah i dont care to read all that especially considering i see the phrase mountain just call to people. That doesn’t exist its just adrenaline
@@SwipSedai yeah your bank account also calls to me
@@billybob501 yes, something that thousands of people over hundreds of years have experienced "doesn't exist" because some schlub on CZcams named billybob501 says so. That seals it folks; nobody actually experiences the call of the mountains; we're all just adrenaline junkies who for some reason get our adrenaline rush by taking long, slow, difficult walks up steep slopes. The Authority has spoken; we can all go home and buy motorcycles (those bastions of safe, non-risky thrills) now.
Anyone posting their vanity summit videos from K2 from 2023 stepped over that man. They shouldn't be allowed to forget it.
Couldn't have stated it any better!!!🙏😢🏔️❣️
So sad... and true.
There is nothing anyone can do to help. Once on k2, if you drop out, noone can help
Your Vanity needs a stomping - the idiot risked everyone else's lives foolishly unprepared. PREPARED Mountaineers had every right to SURIVVE, you forgot that!
As opposed to doing what? Taking his pulse and putting him in the recovery position? Giving comfort? Because his death was an inevitability the moment he slipped.
Really great camera shots and video you show. It really helps non climbers like me appreciate the beauty and potential danger involved.
Rest in peace Mohammed.
Thank you for this documentary. I no longer have any respect for anyone who puff out their chest proclaiming their "accomplishment" of climbing Mt. Everest.
Poor Babyyyyyyyyyyyyy.....take a "Puff" Cheer UP!
@@susanschroeder3512 please close your legs…it smells
Same here
you can't blame the sherpas as they are just trying to feed their families and the corrupt government (like everywhere in the world as this point) chooses greed over human life
If you're an American you can't criticize anyone else's government right now we have the most corrupt government in history creepy Joe is a piece of s***
I want to see the numbers for Sherpa, in terms of what they are actually paid. I think they are paid relatively poorly for the risks at hand, from affluent megalomaniacs that can pay better but don't have to, so they don't.
@@lc4011the head Sherpa for Himalayan Experience Inc was said to make 18,000 in the 2-3 month season Back in 2012 but I believe the average is about 5000 dollars
Also Sherpas actually love climbing just like people that are born and raised in the mountains. It’s a giant playground
😅
If i were to meet an avid climber whose greatest desire was to summit Everest, id know right off, without a doubt, that we have NOT ONE little thing
in common. I think these people are strange.
Well, some people think that obeying oppressors and only the pursuit of making a wealthy person wealthier by working a dangeroua job is the only acceptable thing to take risks for...
Reminds me in some ways how the moral panic of "shoplifters" being publicized in the US while the largest amount of theft in the US is actually wage theft...but its all but ignored by the media while civil asset forfiture also takes more from working class people by the government without conviction than all illicit theft yearly. Risks and hobbies that are seen as dangerous are often looked down up9n as carerless and stupid if its a passion of a working class person but wealthy get called heroes for the same endevours.
lol same 😅😂
these people are strange. not as cowardy as u. definitly
@@eliotness4029having someone carry your bag and poop up a mountain is pretty cowardly to me. W
@@eliotness4029 They're cowards for not giving their Sherpas the credit they deserve. They summit over and over again, and survive - they are the truly accomplished ones.
Love your docs! Outstanding! You combine the sympathy and the facts with respect to all in the story. Excellent narrator.
Well said Julie, this guy is real top notch, and tells the stories with a non judgmental manner.
It would appear more people have to die before anyone attempts to fix so many problems. An important issue is choosing who you climb with.
Not impressed with climbers who use their money and a small army of support people to climb up the path and ropes better climbers already placed
Same. If you have one Sherpa pulling you and one behind you pushing you while ten of men carry your gear while you have your face burried in a real oxygen mask while they Sherpa have to use old WW2 airmen masks that don’t work as well…. Not impressive honestly. Very sad. Never mind the 100 women and children that are porters that each carry 66 pounds of food and gear up to base camp… 😢 then again this is the most money these people will even really make. It’s tough 😢
Preach, Preacher!
like half the people who "summit" Everest are short roped there- which means a Sherpa literally carries them to the top for their photo op
Absolutely, they are looked down on by the climbing community. They are not true mountaineers.
I really love your channel and the way you make it so real and touching and respectful. Mountaineering is fascinating to me and I thank you for sharing all these amazing but tragic stories. R.I.P. all the beautiful souls 🫶🏼🙏🏻❤️
Define - Mountaineer
Someone who abandon friends, family, and love ones in search for Glory.
Not sure what glory your talking about, only the 1st gets the glory. everyone else does it for themselves and theres no shame in that
No...
I believe a bout of ' better than thou'ism is about...
Most mountaineers are doing it because they genuinely love being in the mountains. There are a very, very few who get any recognition or "glory".
Great, looking forward to watching this one. Thanks for posting 👍
Mountain climbers are the road cyclists of the snow.
These Compilations are really good..👍🏻 T.Y.
It is no great achievement to follow your vanity over the body of a dying man, although it is a powerful allegorical image of modern man and his selfishness. Getting to the top of very high rock piles and back down is more survival than a true accomplishment to be proud of. Raising a family which you neither disappoint nor are disappointed by, now THAT'S an accomplishment to brag about.
Yadda yadda.
On tje same note I agree as far as this analogy: if you go diving with a diving buddy you can BOTH realize your gas and buoyancy is messed up, but apprently the "buddy" doesn't actually need to stop thw dive nor assist a narcissist diver. As long as thwy waved to them: they've legally "tried and done everything they can".
In mountaineering with the sake situation: did he ask his buddy for help? Or continue to wave them on until it became a rescue? (And why the fick you think I could rescue somonenwhen I'm not traid in rescue jist to get sued by them becasue WE ALL KNOW THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH CPR).
Go on, I'm trying to find your moral high ground at this elevation, or extreme environment, much less a discussion about legal precisdence already set.
@@Loralanthalas The "moral high ground" is closer to sea level than base camp, is that sufficient clarification? It's not a matter of moralizing over rescues (or the relative impossibility of them at elevation), it's a matter of vain and foolish ambition metastasizing and killing desperate people who have been offered a Faustian bargain by wealthy thrillseekers looking for purpose in all the wrong places.
@@Loralanthalas nobody has the attention span to read more than a couple lines
POINT, SET, AND MATCH!!!🙏👌😢🏔️
How are those suffering creatures like flame broiled squirrels doing, Mr. Word Salad!
keep em coming terror twin
Excellent content
The trash is what bothers me the most!
I'm sure a lot of the trash is from people that died. They cant go back and get their stuff cuz they dead!
Human corpses, human excrement, and intangible tears all remain amidst oxygen bottles, tents, and other “trash.” Maybe summit victors should take “I’m a WINNER!!” photos with a pile of garbage as a backdrop.
I love your videos! You do a great job!
Money isn’t just a motivator for the sherpas and porters, but also for the climbers. Many have paid ridiculous amounts of money for the privilege of climbing a mountain and may only have a single shot at it. It’s no wonder they push to summit under less than perfect circumstances and risk their lives and that of others on the mountain in the process. Many die on the way down, having spent too much energy, time and oxygen on the way up. The hunt for glory, records and instagram likes also doesn’t help. But the biggest killers appear to be inexperience and overestimating one’s own abilities. Sadly all came together that day.
About the first story from Mohamed... Just another story about a porter/sherpa dying because of need and making "tourists" climb easier. Its crazy how other humans just step over his body to continue their personal quest. Never will understand.
so you really don't understand anything this program has said
@lesliegibbons1364 No. I would never be in that position myself nor contribute to any Sherpa carrying my crap up there and causing their death
@@ceciliapreziose3783 i understood in a more intelligent and philosophical way than you did. These so called climbers need to stop this nonsense sense and having self aggrandizing excuses as to why they let people die on mountains and just step over their bodies.
Yes. Their " personal quest". It's an unfortunate selfish sport in the first place. They are there for self . You don't get to volunteer another person's life, when they all know the risk. I would like to think I would help someone if possible. But I'm not about to judge others while sitting at home all nice and safe. Because I wasn't there, were you? It's much easier to put a cape on from a distance until life slaps you in the face and your in the thick of it. And will somebody please come get these judgemental CZcams experts, they are out here running wild again.
You know what's funny is a lot of the sherpas WANT to go up. It's a great way for them to make great money. How they're treated is not fair, but just like everything in real life (unlike la la land), things are complicated, humans are complicated.
But sure go ahead and judge, just like everyone else does. You are literally no better than anyone else watching this. You just think your farts smell like roses.
They don't have to worry about me I don't have any interest in climbing to the top of one of these mountains I didn't leave a damn thing up there
I enjoy your chill voice...great video!
"You're kinda blocking the trail here Muhammed!"
Well said.
Hooray! I love these shows.❤️
No way I would hop over someone who is clearly dying and in need of rescue. That first story broke my heart, his poor momma. ❤
Unfortunately if you are in that situation, you have to do it. There is no rescue over 8000 metres, if you are unable to stand on you feet and walk you are condemned. All you can do, if you are with a climber in severe distress like Muhammad, is comfort him/her for a while, but you have to move quickly, cause your body is not made for those heights. I don’t blame those mountaineers, they have done all they could for Muhammad, he was just unlucky. But yes, his story is very sad, cause he climbed just for reach money for his mum, really really sad.
Unfortunately, at a certain height, it’s basically them or both of you unless you keep going. 😔
@@AnnaM84 Agreed-they only would've caused congestion in the path which could lead to more death. Doesn't make it any less awful for poor Mohammed but they certainly weren't malicious imo.
As the Sherpa said, "there is no rescue on K2.". Keep in mind the Sherpa are people who rescue others on a regular basis. But high up on K2 its pretty much impossible to rescue someone who can't walk.
Subbed 👍🏼
Nils: I'm going to Everest!
Me: (in the words of Joyclyn Elders) Everybody's gotta die with somethin.'
Chris Bonnington is a British mountaineer not an "American photographer"
How interesting. Tx
It’s kinda insane because my birthday is July 5 and it’s crazy to believe that while I’m celebrating these people are buying the rest of their supplies and heading to their last journeys 😮😢
You share a birthday with my wee laddie
I mean what are they supposed to do for him? Rip Mohammad.. and wait am I the outlier here, cuz I would definitely want to live and be saved but I sure as hell wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt or even get in anyone’s way of reaching their dreams cuz of me? I can’t be the only one who thinks like this am I?
Nah you don't, but it's still a little disrespectful of climbers posting the guy's death online for the family of the guy to potentially see it or hear of it. Imagine you seeing your loved one on tv being used as a hand hold of an obstacle course. That's the only part that upsets me. I'd rather they put him aside and let him die in peace. Not the shit show of vids and pics of people climbing over. That's the part that upsets me about it.
Wait, wait, wait. Mohammad was helped for at least 3 hours by multiple people, including Kristin and her partner. Did you not research this, or did you choose to leave it out on purpose???
I actually thought the same as other here about how it was awful to not help him but I did see the videos of him being helped a lot too. He was actually completely upside down with his bare stomach and hands exposed. Kristins and another team got him into a better position and tried to cover his stomach. But if you cannot stand on your on at the bottle neck on K2 there’s is no chance of survival at all.
I think these channels do this on purpose since these type of videos are mostly produced and watched by couch potatos who aren‘t anywhere near doing such activities like mountaineering. Then they can feel high and mighty in the comments.
The American photographer Chris Bonington? I think not! Bonington is a famous British mountaineer/writer who was born in Hampstead in 1934.
The audio may have the home country wrong but the timeframe is perfect for these climbs in the 60's...
Way to pay attention👌🏔️
He was hired by the Americans
United States, America is a continent brah not a country ✌🏻.
Hard to believe you could do videos on mountaineering and not know who Chris Bonington is.
Good channel… Have you done one on the Willy unsold expedition to Nanda Devi? I would like to hear about that…
I think after all your videos I know more about climbing than the folks.
i have been in airoplane at 41000 feet. . lol
It is sad that Muhammed lost his life like that, but as stated there was no camp 4, therefore all those climbers had been climbing for hours. With that slope and that area (under the serac) and in the death zone I can't imagine anyone being physically able to carry dead weight (not because he was dead, but he was so injured that he could not contribute to his descent) down that part of the mountain. It's easy for us to say "well if it was me..." truth is, life or death not many would risk their lives for a stranger. That area, from videos I've seen you're basically one foot in front of the other, I'm not sure logistically how to move a body down a mountain along a ledge, let alone suffering from lack of oxygen and having to think about those things.
It can both be very sad and unfortunate and also just the way things are sometimes, especially that high up.
I'm so sick of people blaming the Nepalese government for deaths on the mountain! Just because something exists doesn't mean it is for you. If you are stupid enough to go to places where you aren't prepared to go, it is your own fault! If you get on Everest and there is an avalanche, you're going to die because you chose to be there! No one is making anyone do anything. There are other ways to make money. The fastest way isn't necessarily the best way. However, if that's the route you take or choice you make, you are responsible for that. If you pay someone to take you up and you don't make it, that is your fault. If you place yourself in danger, that is your fault. People need to learn something called personal responsibility and stop looking to governments, or other people, to tell them what they should or shouldn't do! Enough! Take responsibility for yourself and make your own choices AND live, or die, with the consequences!
"... China still has fears of foreigners bringing covid into their country..."
The absolute NERVE of China.
I just came across this channel so idk if this topic has been covered. but if it hasn't, you should do an episode on any true crime events while climbing the mountains.
Great idea
Great idea!
That sounds really interesting! Did one of these egomaniacs ever just shove a perceived competitor off the mountain? Lol
It’s so disgusting to me how people step over dying people to get to the summit.
they don't want to die helping someone, that is the break on the mountain
I can understand why people don’t as doing so would only lead to their death but I find it absolutely disgusting that people will record & take pictures of dying individuals while doing so. It shows you the mindsets of people who do such things. Too caught up in reaching some convoluted goal to have any regard for human life.
It's rough but...he didn't even have the proper equipment. Trying to help him or carry his body down will most probably lead you to your death.
Oh! And he was unexperienced too..he took a risk and he knew what it could turn into. Humans are cruel, dude.
Your cinematography is growing like crazy.
There should never be anything in the world that you want to do so much, that by doing it may bring injury or death to either yourself or the people you involve and include whilst doing it.
That’s an unfair and selfish request. I don’t regard nor admire anybody that’s climbed a big mountain. I admire the guy who’s afraid of water and can’t swim but doesn’t hesitate to jump into an ocean to save an another human being.
Mountain climbing the highest peaks is just pure self indulgence imho.
never gonna get over how all these thrillseekers get locals to do 90% of the work and even more of the danger with like 10% of the equipment and then they won't even tell us their names while theyre posing for pics based off other people basically making it so they got there, the biggest stolen valor scheme on earth is high altitude mountaineers
It is disgusting to me how so many people can just walk over people in need of help if it is that bad then there should be no one climbing!
I saw this movie.....Eiger sanction.... Eastwood... thought it was just a movie...
29 people died! OMG I can’t believe that! Such a sad story! I almost didn’t watch this as I usually don’t watch things that take a hour for me to finish but I am glad I did go ahead and watch this! The narrator is excellent and the stories are very interesting! Thanks for bringing these stories to life!
I listened to the story. It made me cry even though I don't know any of them. It shows that life is unpredictable. The place had a great safety record and they took all the necessary precautions. Nobody is to blame. If mountain climbing was 100% totally safe, would a lot of people want to do it? Would anyone want to try the North Face or K2 if a 10 year old could do it? I doubt it.
😂😂😂😂😂
How many sherpas did You walk over today...?
Anyone see the disgrace formerly known as Everest.
A garbage dump. With dead bodies. The 'rainbow valley's disgusts.
The endless line of 'peaker's looks like Wal-Mart on Black Friday...
This poor man laid on a mountain for three hours and probably suffered in pain and struggling to breath and freezing cold until he took his last breath. This human being, with few choices to support his family, attempting to make an honest 🎉living was simply overlooked and stepped over like garbage. This story not only angers me but terrifies me. There was more empathy for David Sharp, who tried to summit the mountain for sport. Does anyone see the difference?
yeah well David Sharp was a white guy who looked like the rich climbers and mohammed was not, theres your whole reason, the amount of racism in climbing that is never addressed in media is wild
I don’t understand why the record breaker team is the only people that gets blamed or talked about on the porters death when they was actually the only people that did help and parts of that team actually stayed back with the man and did more than anyone else when there was a hundred other people that stepped over the man
I don’t understand how not a single person on a record attempt has tried to save someone. You’d be remembered FAR LONGER for being the only record attempt that was abandoned in an attempt to save someone. I feel like that would be something the climbing community would remember and respect for longer than whatever record you were attempting AND you’d also still be able to look at yourself in the mirror at the end of the day….
stopping to help someone else in certain areas will mean death for both. That is understood..........your climbing a mountain that has a DEATH ZONE???????????? there is a reason for that title. Mountain climbing is risky with all hands on deck. Fall and you die.........those are risks and those are the breaks............don't like it don't climb
What are u talking about? There are many ppl who saved ppl on mountains. But at a certain point, u cannot save them.
That’s precisely why she remains a nobody to me and many other who will never hear of her. I forgot her name already and don’t care to remember. Someone rich and privileged stepping over someone poor and desperate is so pathetic idk how she even lives with herself or any of the other climbers who climbed over his body. Have zero empathy for any of them.
Search for Myles Osbourne and team who saved an Australian climber named Lincoln Hall
Many people do stop to save others, but in certain places, it is impossible! When you go up a mountain, there's no guarantee someone will be there to help you back down. Those areas are narrow and helping isn't always possible.
It sucks that you gotta be pretty wealthy to climb k2 or Everest an these rich people gotta have exstra warm clothes. Or maybe start bringing some to give the people that make an support the trails these brave men set up for them. I don’t know 🤷
You guys are so fkd. I admire your dedication from a distance
Good video but Chris Bonnington is a fellow Englishman not American and he's a Mountaineer not a cameraman even if he was there to be a cameraman. Such a scary endeavour to be a Mountaineer!!
Honestly the only thing they could’ve done was call for help, there’s no way or strength to get him out of that spot. It’s right in the middle of the bottle neck.
To save sherpa lives just put a chair lift up to everest.
I don't see how they could just step over him while he was still alive just to reach the top.
A true depiction of the callousness of man.
If your life's dream is to do something requiring you to step over a dying man, you have major issues.
You need to stop moralizing and making everything look like a tragedy. These people are adults and chose their fates.
@34:15 - (Sir!) Chris Bonington is British, not American
Mohamed did get help, was given some O2, but he had been out of O2 for too long. He was right on the trail, because there was nowhere else for him to rest. I hope those who stepped over him said a prayer, at least. I wonder if his family received any money for the work he did??!😢❤RIP
i like Kermit the Frog xx
Nills should've NEVER continued with Gustavo, if my guide was leaving me behind, that's a huge red flag
You notice how there are no amazing stories of people hauling down a lifeless person from the death zone??? Because it's imFUCKINGpossible, every person that stepped over that man saved their own life.
Were those climbers who “stepped over the (fallen and injured) climber, and thus “saved their lives,” were on their way UP or on their way DOWN?
If they were stepping over a dying human being in order to further endanger their own lives by attempting to summit, they prioritized a “trophy” over humanity.
If they stepped over the damaged person on their descent in order to reach safely, that is more than unfortunate, but not as upsetting.
I’m not paying poor, brown people to carry my privileged white ass up a highly dangerous mountain so that I may put selfies on my walls, desk, mantle and social media to proclaim, “Look What I Did! Am I Not Superior? Of Course I Am!!”
Not leaving my shit on a frozen hill. Not leaving my spent oxygen bottles, torn tent, and freezer-burnt carcass along a fixed rope path. And NOT causing any “employees” to die for my vanity “victory.”
Too many are those who’ve Paid the Fee, Bought the Ride, Took the Photo, and Got the T-Shirt…
Next will be the BMW, the gold jewelry, the mini-mansion, the new & improved spouse, the book signing, the media coverage, and aspirations of What’s Next??
Just my personal perspective.
@@williesnyder2899yea. If climbers have done these summits without help in the past, they should probably continue it that way. So to not jeopardize the lives of others.
No they didn't. They were going up not down. They absolutely weren't saving their own lives by literally stepping over that man to reach the top of some tall dirt
The Sherpa said, "There is no rescue on k2".
@HexManiac-nf1yg the same tall dirt the man was trying to reach in the first place? Risking his own life like everyone else that was there. Those people have families as well that need them. Which is why none of this is even worth it in the first place, my opinion. People aren't there to die for others and you can't volunteer another person's life. It's an unfortunate selfish sport to begin with.
25:48 look at his biceps, what the freak, and without steroids
I used to dislike climbers...Now i hate them!!!!
Same Ox less dense at elevation.
"Set a record being the first Malaysian deaf mute to summit Everest."
That's not a real record. These climbers are all legends in their own minds. Do you suppose there is a community of deaf mute Malaysian climbers racing each other to be the first up Everest? I doubt it.
I want to set the record as the youngest American to summit wearing a chicken suit. Climbing Everest is not satisfaction enough. I need to make up a record so I can justify risking my life and spending a fortune to be the first to do something.
I saw one guy who wanted to be the first Canadian asthmatic to summit without oxygen. These are completely arbitrary "records" and they exist only to make a climber feel special. I'm sure all the other Canadian Asthmatic high altitude climbers are watching in awe.
Now the pair that climbed 14 8000ers in 2 months, THAT is a record. How about the oldest Somali pirate to summit?
True. I want to be the first blonde, identical twin, youngest of 11 kids to climb Everest lol. But I have so many other things I'd rather spend 10k on.
He did get a record though, the first deaf guy to die on the Everest
@@lexiemaep7930Multiply that dollar amount by ten. At least.
I swear so many of these stories have some made up “record” that the climbers want to set. Like the one about wanting to be the first Asian woman with a pacemaker to summit. Like, okay…? And she was not fit enough to even make it to base camp, so she died. Great record.
They may as well be saying they want to set the record for the first person with their full name and date of birth, born to their parents to summit.
We should celebrate the love mohammed had for his mother 😢
Nepal govt maybe could build a sherpa training coourze and mountain climbing survival.
They need to put a complete stop to this for a few years
Nobody expects avalanches. It was nobodys fault.❤❤RIP
When they pack up their gear even if u leave hardly any garbage everyone should divide the garbage between everyone and take it back down Nxt thing people will risk their lives to pick up others garbage or the mountain should be closed to teach climbers a lesson.maybe next permit they get they be more appreciative of nature instead of just conquering it
Not sure what anyone could do for the poor man at that point 🤔 He could no longer move himself and carrying or dragging a grown limp man from a deathzone is not really possible. Instead of stepping over him, should they have pushed him out of the way instead? 😅 That is also horrible. He should not have been there with his lack of experience and proper equipment. But it is understandable why he was there out of desperation to make money for his family and not to find glory. Very sad it ended with his family loosing him instead 😢
Poor old guy sad may he rest in peace in the lord Jesus Christ 🙏
Well …. All the money collecting companies are sitting in their air conditioned offices and these guys are grasping for air out there… my heart goes out to them…☹️
How those climbers just climbed over and left that poor man and left him to die alone is beyond me, they should be ashamed of themselves. Hope they are never in the same situation as karma can be a bitch!!
How could they have helped the shepa?? It seems like it’s a lost cause at that location..,☹😩
Regardless if they could have saved him. They could have chosen TO NOT STEP OVER THE DYING GUY just to reach the top of some mountain
If you cannot move by your own strength above the death zone there is no helping you, it is as simple as that, you must be able to have a say in saving yourself, I’d also like to point out that Sir Chris Bennington is British not American and also an accomplished mountaineer as well as a photographer

What a great husband who leaves for a week to climb a mountain without telling his wife.
terror twin have u climbed a mountain before?
Those climbers in the first K2 clips should all be disgusted with their "accomplishment"! What kind of people have we become to do this?
His own team should be more disgusted for leaving him at least their team tried to help pulled him back up and one of them stayed with him more than most of the hundreds of people that stepped over him.
What kind of disgusting people do you support who foolishly and recklessly endanger others lives and what Airlines have you booked to be the next Sherpa??
@@alexfarman4580 "hundreds of people"? This isn't Mount Everest. About 70 people summited that day.
You can feel horrible for him and his family, and it is a tragedy, but no experience on the toughest mountain in the world...with the wrong equipment...it's his team's fault for not telling him no. Should the climbers have tried to help, sure, then again they would be risking their own lives trying to carry dead weight off the mountain. The true blame falls on him and his team.
@@Ludacar EXACTLY. this lazy critic probably has all they can do to roll out of bed each morning to their quarterback armchair.
what if mountain climbing was invented by someone that wanted to kill himself. others saw it and thought that hes so brave
Aigille du fou translates to Fool's Needle
43 Min 50 secs. Who is this mountaineer??
Does anyone know if the porter's family (or mother) received any compensation?
Great question, unfortunately we all know the probable answer!!!🙏😢🏔️❣️
stop virtue signalling, you don't really care
There is a crowdfunding campaign that received over $175,000 (today, October 15, 2023). And I thought I'd read somewhere that the Norwegian woman also helped.
@@stellviahohenheim it’s literally just a question if you think that’s virtue signaling you need to go outside more 💀
@@stellviahohenheimDo you feel good writing nasty message to the person you don't know? Person who doesn't care rat's ass about others doesn't even bother to ask.
these people that hire 16 sjerpa's etc probably also bought WoW boosts
Mountainclimbers and mushroom pickers have one thing in common, they would be alive if they just stayed home….
Why not blood dope
