The Sherpa are the real heroes of mountaineering.
i punched a few of them out.. cause they wouldn't listen.
They are the true mountaineers, they make so many summits compared to their charges
It's quite fascinating actually, the Sherpa/Tibetans have, through their centuries-long isolation in these harsh environments, developed a genetic setup that makes them unique even among mountain people and makes them perfectly equipped for very high altitudes.
When you're high up, usually your body (more specifically your bone marrow) produces more red blood cells, thus maximizing your oxygen intake/oxygen distribution in your body, but also thickening your blood and raising the risk for an embolism, this is the case for people in the Andes for example who often suffer from chronic altitude sickness.
The Sherpa however don't just have more red blood cells, but also more plasma, which in turn prevents the thickening of their blood. They also have genes that prevent an immediate stimulation of red blood cell production when being confronted with lower oxygen levels, which also prevents their blood from thickening. Studies have also shown that a small percentage of people from lower regions have some of these genetic mutations as well, which might be part of the reason why some "lowlanders" seem to be able to deal with high altitudes better than others.
The Messners never needed a Sherpa
Also never seen a Sherpa climb a hard wall. So no they arent the real heroes.
As a Bulgarian I don't remember Atanas's death being in the media or maybe it got lost in the pandemic news. I read about him and he seemed to be very well-educated in agriculture and sadly had a son born in 2009. I don't understand how a parent can risk leaving their child an orphan, it is incredibly sad and reckless. Another incredibly accomplished Bulgarian climber Boyan Petrov also lost his life a few years back.
I want to be the first one to climb everest while only eating snow
😂 😂😂😂 I will only ingest air..and someone can only ingest earth ..and another fire.. 😂😂😂😂😂
Everything else... is for... Lightweights
The fact that people do this in such arrogance is baffling to me. Then others expect sherpas to just gear up and save these people is even more baffling to me
No one forces the Sherpas to do the job. It's always their choice. I know that they're poor and they need the money, but in the end it is still their choice.
I totally agree when the Sherpas have asked them to turn back or they don't take extra oxygen. It shouldn't be the Sherpas putting their lives on the line because the climbers are being extra dangerous.
@@darksoul479no one said they're forced to.... They said they're expected to... These same people go back to their own country and go straight to the media and say that the Nepalese run a rinky dink operation this has happened time and time again all the while it's only the richest and most arrogant people that can afford the trip then their 1% family blames everyone else but the person who died...
Messner never needed a Sherpa
Right on, you got it…I mean I get the passion, but getting the sherpas to safe you and rescue…not right
“They attempted to climb the RuPaul face of Nanga Parbat(captions)😂😂😂😂😂😂
While I would say that these deaths are incredibly sad, I think we should reserve "tragic" for the deaths of people who don't climb 8,000-meter peaks. I'm sure it seems a tragedy for their loved ones, but these people went on horribly dangerous adventures knowing the risks. It was those who loved and valued them who picked up the heart-shattering tab.
I have an alternative thought... In my world, the only deaths that aren't tragic are those of people that have taken a life. The mere fact that you say that it is a tragedy for their families is admitting that it is tragic for someone, just not for you. Can you imagine what our lives would be like with out the brave people that are willing to take chances? JMHO
@@jellybean7253 Inherent in that risk is that climbing partners and sherpas may be at risk for those same people taking chances. Quite a number of sherpas and others have died trying to save some "brave people's" asses.
Loss of life is always tragic it doesn’t matter how
@@zackprice8688not always.
@@wizzyno1566 loss of life is tragic anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool
Watching this video is like climbing an eight-thousander.😮💨
I’d like to know how all these people have the money to do all of these climbs!
Sponsorships by entertainment or equipment companies usually.
Lemonade stands I think 🍋🍋🍋
Who knows maybe they delt drugs.
Is the weather ,is nothing to train for the weather !
Thank you for this video.
The common thread of being killed here is arrogance
I would say mental illness combined with grandiosity, is the common thread among all these people. It won’t be long until we are hearing about hundreds dead in Everest avalanche.
Anyone who decides to go for glory on an 8,000-meter peak is arrogant, for sure. Letting someone else risk their own lives to try to bail their asses out (i.e., sherpas) is arrogant beyond words.
@@josi4251do you find people speeding and taking risks driving on a highway just as arrogant?l for the major risks to others? I think that's more arrogant; sherpa and porters choose their job and are paid well for their country standard. I believe they should get more. There are more frequent situations in daily life that holds more arrogance and risk to us directly.
@@dana102083 Yes, crazy drivers are taking risks which definitely affect others. The major difference here is that all of us need to be in vehicles to go to work, school, etc. No one really needs to climb 8,000-meter peaks. While I admire the skill and determination, it's usually only for personal glory.
The more people that die climbing these mountains it seems the more other people want to risk their lives trying to do it.
This is something that people do that are so rich they don’t know what to do with all of their money!!
Cry elsewhere. Messner is a Hero of course he is rich, he climbed 1000 of mountains SOLO...... without oxygen....
They wanted to do something about this world? What does climbing mountains do??! 🤣😂
I die vicariously through their inevitable deaths.
No you dont.
@@wizzyno1566are you missing your funny bone? Congrats
It's a hostile environment.
Thank you for bringing attention to it.
It's not a hike in the hills.
Why in the world would you go climbing around on K2 in the winter??!
It’s mostly ego. And a very tiny group are locals that are just very talented and adapted to the weather conditions so they know they can do it. But still extremely dangerous.
i may be wrong... but i don't believe there is anything But Winter... on K2
Since when were there 9000 meter mountains?
Ones of dreams
One 2 skip a feeewww
I wonder if his family was rich, or was he rich. Where did he get the money to do all of these climbs??
Which he are you referring to? Messner that remained alive?
i believe in climbing without Any supplemental items and equipment... Luxury items such as ice Axe , Drugs [Dex], Stoves, Sleeping gear & Tents, Food, Radios... & Rope... Only Me, and the Mountain... Who will survive?
Oh... and Crampons!
Plus, this is Far less expensive.
no one can survive it's not humanly possible
You conquer nothing in the mountains. Be careful or you will end up part of the scenery.
You conquer your own limitations and that matters. Try it on a small scale sometime.
That's just not true, you mean they don't achieve anything by your silly standard without experience or understanding. What's wrong with achieving personal mental and physical goals? Resiliency is one of the most important things beside physical fitness imo. Maybe YOU wouldn't conquer anything in the mountains, maybe you suck!!
You conquer yourself
K2 isnt in the Himalayas..
"There are only three Sports: bullfighting, motor racing and Mountaineering; all the rest are merely games."
Ernest Hemingway.
Yea, but ole Ernie blew his brains out with a shotgun, so I wouldn't put much into his brilliant observations.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
@@trent3872you can be brilliant but still depressed and suicidal. In fact the two things are often linked.
@@wizzyno1566 True, Hemingway is one of my favorites. Faulkner, Steinbeck. Love the classics.
It is not a sport to put other people life in danger. They don't even carry their own gears and depend on Sherpas to put ropes and ladders and take their shit up the mountain
I want to climb Annapurna eating nothing but meat. I bet I’ll be strong enough to get up there and back down.
I will be the first without meat or leaves, only toastbread
k2 ubelievable, must be nice to be that rich
Poverty and prosperity are a choice, quit being envious and get to work.
Do something
Ok... I gave it a try but I can not watch this channel with all the mistakes made by narrator. In 1st story "he climbed solo and reached the summit an hour before sunrise", but then "his brother raced to catch up with him and met him before summit so they made summit together a few hours before sunset". I caught several other mistakes in 1st story. I just now started watching the 2nd story but 2 seconds into it when it says she "climbed all 9,000 meter peaks..." omg... there are NO 9,000 METER PEAKS! YOU LITERALLY JUST TALKED ABOUT EVERST BEING HIGHEST PEAK AT 8,700'ish meters! How do you make that mistake unless you just don't care, don't put any time into actually researching these stories you bring to CZcams. And since I enjoy real documentary type channels here, I will not be subscribing or ever watching this one again. If I can't trust the source and trust the information they are putting out, that is a big, bright red deal-breaker for me.
A lot of lazy channels using chatgpt and an AI voice
Yeah I noticed that too, especially because I'm quite familiar with the story. Many parts of these events are disputed but even the ones that aren't were wrong here. For example, Reinhold didn't leave by himself because he wanted to ascend alone in secret but because of a miscommunication through coloured flares that were supposed to indicate a good or bad weather forecast to the people in the higher camps, because they didn't have a radio.
Humans who choose to adventure areas where NO LIFE EXISTS seem to have suicidal tendencies.
K2 and Vegan 😮
😂😂 funny huh
IKR 😅 as if the mountain cares whether you are kind to animals and eat healthy fruit, grains & vegetables, thus granting you permission to summit without any external risks, not to mention physical limitations of human beings whether you eat meat or not. The sheer arrogance & recklessness of these affluent people who think they’re invincible because they omit animal products from their diets. 🤦🏻♂️
Old Chinese saying: Man who klimb mountain is mad man.
Wise words indeed.
Arrogance . Safety first . It should be illegal to climb without oxygen and also there should be a board to approve the climbing plan and they should keep a bond of rescue money in advance before going !!! Climbing more than once should also be stopped as once done leave the mountains for others and not one person’s ego again and again !
Don’t you get enough bureaucracy in everyday life?
Don’t you see it’s not working?
Hard drugs and the violent use of weapons is illegal but it doesn’t seem to be slowing anyone down,either…
No further comment.
wanda is masculin
Vegans always tell you they’re vegans… hi I’m so an so and I’m a vegan….
That's not true and I should know because I'm a vegan.

Beacause they have no brain left.

Uh... i, was just going to... say... hello.
( With respect, in my opinion).
they are not the himalayas....they are the himalaya... it is already plural...Himal is singular himalaya is plural.......when will you westerners ever get it right?
Take it up with The Encyclopedia Britannica then 😂
Thanks for the PSA
@@joquin4618 my pleasure...just thought people should be more aware of when they insult a language and a nation.
We in the west start sentences with a BIG letter. Stop insulting our writing style and language you uneducated and intolerant human being.😂
Whens we's ares goods
ands ready... s.
Sorry, but Thank you for the clarification... perhaps This is mostly what has been absent.
Can someone link part 2 ?
Nothing there is tragic. Tragic is when someone dies in traffic accident, weather disaster, when someone is killed...that is tragic not this.
They knew what they doing and how risky it is and yet they did it anyway.
This narration is terrible.
