Everest Overcrowding Just Caused Another DISASTER in 2024

- There have already been several accidents in 2024 on Mount Everest….but are any of us surprised to hear that…What you see on screen are photos and videos from the climbing season on the world's tallest mountain….I am serious this is real footage, and I promise if you stick around, later in this video there will be a specific ominous video taken near the summit that you do not want to miss…
But why? Why is it year after year that record numbers of deaths occur on the mountain? Some chalk it up to the ever-increasing number of climbers, lack of regulation, or the amateur companies leading expeditions…today we will dive into it all….but most importantly tell the story of Daniel Patterson and his Nepali guide Pastenji Sherpa….by all accounts these two men should have reached the summit and made it off the mountain without incident…..they are experienced, extremely fit, and climbing for all the right reasons….but this is Mount Everest. The one thing we know by now….is to expect the unexpected……This is their story….

The Hillary Step collapsed at least 6 years ago, it was a loose pile of rocks, easy to traverse, in 2018. I've been reliably informed it's disintegrated further since then. Look up Tim Mosedale, he seems to have confirmed this first, reliable source, experienced climber,
Awesome video!
You and me and 6000 people holding on to the same rope climbing our way to the top of Everest what could be dangerous about that🤪🗻🤳
If I wanted to pay a ridiculous amount of money to stand in line, I could go to Disney World, and probably not die.
Lol “probably”
You run the real risk of being run over by a morbidly obese tourist on a scooter at Disney while in line ......
@@BEe-vn4yxthe odds are never zero. 😂
No one has ever died at Disney World.
I think Everest is more popular than Disney nowadays. Disney prices have gone through the roof.
At this point, summitting Mt. Everest is a badge of shame, not something to brag about.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lol ok loser
I totally agree. 😢💔🌿
It's sad that the income is of more value for the survival of the locals than the integrity of the mountain is.
While the Sherpas depend on the tourist income to feed their families, it must be distressing for them as well.
Ego followers
You are DAMM RIGHT ✌️✌️
These “climbers “ should be charged another 100k for garbage left behind. If you can bring it in you can take it out
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely agree.
No, you shouldn’t sort the people out through wealth. The Problem is that there are way too many inexperienced People who want to summit. There should rather be a minimum of years required that you have been climbing mountains, before you join a group. At least in my opinion. Sorry if the english is not that good, it’s not my mother tongue.
That's the basis of no-trace camping. You walk it in, you walk it out....
@@Ari-xc5vd Money has nothing to do with it - If you carried it in, you should have to carry it out. That means weighing it at both ends of the trip and it better balance (including a provision for biological waste - chit!). That would go a long way to controlling how many people really want to climb a mountain - a self-limiting process.
At this point it sounds like part of the condition to acquiring a permit should be committing to bring a certain amount back with you that has been abandoned up there so far.
When I watch Everest videos I just cringe. It's like watching humans in their worst form. Greed, selfishness, narcissism, and so on.
That was part of my experience of climbing. Now I just hike, no need for a rope team.

You could just go to the local Walmart to stand in line.😂 There are so many other mountains, too, that you could climb that would actually be an accomplishment instead of this commercialized death trap.

You say Dan was climbing for the right reasons but it sounds like he was climbing for the same reasons everyone else does. Clout, ego, and recognition.
Hopefully he wasn’t using the death of a gym member as an excuse to use donations to pay for his Everest expedition. Even if he funded it himself, if his only goal was to help the family, he could do a fundraiser without climbing a mountain and take the $60,000 he paid to climb and donate that too.
I don’t see this as any different than someone using their vacation to Hawaii as a fundraiser. I’m sure it is something he wanted to do and was probably going either way. There’s really no reason why you would need to climb a mountain as a fundraiser unless you were personally gaining something from it.
Was thinking the same. False generosity/charity happens all the time on social media. Might not be this case but often the person gets alot more out of it than what they give.
Excellent
Clout and recognition gets you pussy that's why people seek it.
That's all it's for.
What's the old saying?.....Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Exactly! using goodwill as an excuse to do something for ones self. 'Climbing Everest to raise money for a gym member who died of cancer - only to gofundme to find a body on said mountain... would it not have been better to just use the money for the climb toward the original purpose without killing a sherpa and contributing towards littering a mountain.

@@fedupamerican296 Well said.
@@cathybassett6432 tyvm.
Same to you. Have a good one.
I don't understand why Nepal doesn't just raise the cost of the permits and then limit them. They could have the same revenue coming in but without the crowds.
Less people = less local spending on guides, porters, accomodation, flights, food etc by tourists. Basically tourism is just about the only thing that country has to leverage so they likely don't dare trying to restrict numbers even if the net effect is that it kills people.
Eventually the mountain will be just a great big dumpster of garbage and bodies. Who is gonna climb it then? Fix it while you can because eventually it will be too late.
Nepal should be charging a down payment of 50 dollars a pound weigh up befor you go up and reimburse for the weight that is brought back down

I have spent most of my life, saving every spare penny, with the hope that one day, i will have enough money to go absolutely nowhere near this god forsaken place

Depressing to see a place of extreme beauty, once only conquered by the world’s most elite climbers, turned into a ridiculously long line of amateurs paying a fortune to follow ropes and ladders and turning the area into a refuge tip. No climber with integrity would see this as a worthy pursuit any more.
Humans ruin everything

Summit fever. Gets them every time
All the weight of the people on those ropes must be terrifying.
If everyone fell at the same time (highly unlikely), that guide rope would snap as if it were tooth floss
Just think how those ropes get there. At the start of each climbing season some Sherpas fix ropes and ladders from base to summit. They are the true heroes of Everest.
❤❤❤❤❤
@@coweatsman
Yes they are.
Sherpa are the only TRUE climbers. The rest are the dead weight they carry up Everest.
@@abelis644 That's absolutely not true, there are many elite climbers from all over the world, they just happen to make up a small percentage compared to the random people that couldn't summit without the Sherpas. Everest in particular attracts the tourists, most of them don't give a shit about the 13 other 8000ers or the far more challenging mountains like Nanda Devi, The Ogre, etc.
Surely the money he paid to go to Everest would have been better to go to the fund raising ?? Sure sounds like it was about him climbing Everest rather than funding
He was one of the few properly prepared and experienced actual mountaineers on that mountain. His death was not caused by inexperience or unpreparedness. The cornice collapsed because of all the weight of hundreds of climbers, most of whom are actually NOT properly prepared and are not actual mountaineers, they are simply people who have enough money to pay for the bragging rights to say they climbed the highest mountain in the world. It's the presence of all these inexperienced "climbers" that turns this mountain more dangerous than normal.
100% I just made the same comment. No reason to climb a mountain as a fundraiser unless it’s something you already wanted to do. Probably spent $75k to raise $10k.

@@Whyusemyname
Exactly.
Like me buying a $10 lottery ticket and saying I won when I win 1 dollar...😂😂😂
There's a ton of overcrowding at the summit and every year Everest is increasingly littered with more trash and frozen corpses. From the outside looking in, commercialism has greatly diminished the prestige that once came with "conquering" Everest. What was once an exclusive club of highly dedicated mountain climbers has been diluted by the sheer number of people who are figuratively (and sometimes literally) carried to the summit, with safety often taking a back seat to financial gain. It's become more of a business than a quest, catering to those who can afford it rather than those who are genuinely prepared. Many Everest climbers today come across as "weekend warriors" who approach the climb as a box to tick off their bucket list rather than a sincere commitment to mountaineering.
Edit: Clarifying that this comment is not a condemnation of Daniel Patterson or Pastenji Sherpa (RIP). It's just a culmination of my thoughts on the overarching subject matter after watching the video (and other content in various forms over the years).
I agree, As a kid I couldn't wait to see the climb, and now it's way too much to see.
And yet they keep accepting applications to claim the mountain every year, more and more!!!!
Frozen corpses you say ? Hmm, ill bring some extra camp fuel along just in case I get hungry up there...never know when one might need to snack a bit. - H. Lector
@@vetinaalvarez4004they gave fewer permits in 2024 than 2023 if you listened to this video
Condemnation would have been fine. Not to Pasterji who did that to support his family.
The trash blows my mind. How do people in nature feel that this is okay? If I’m outside eating and my napkin blows away, I chase after it. People that want to see and experience and a beautiful place on earth treat it like a garbage dump. The need to fine people for doing it.
Yes, but your life isnt on the line when your napkin blows away
@@adambane1719 a lot of the trash is in the camps. Their life isn’t on the line then. Just an excuse. If you carry it up, you bring it back down. If you can’t respect nature, then maybe you shouldn’t go there. It’s their choice to be there. Basic human decency.
People drag useless crap on purpose to the summit to leave there - such as flags, photographs, etc
Napkins are made out of paper. Paper is wood. It breaks down easily. It's like throwing an orange peel on the ground. It's not littering.
No microbes on everest silly. Dead bodies, napkins, whatever. They just stay there, no breaking down.
Nothing has changed since Jon Krakauer wrote his book about this in the mid 90's.
Definitely more greed and negligence now!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
To be honest, I wonder if the result of his book was more interest in Everest.
He didn't go back, and he's even been to the South Pole but in all his travels, Everest was the worst experience of his life. K2 is even worse, but he chose the 1996 Everest trip. I don't think Krakauer would have bothered with any of those peaks after that 1996 disaster where he dodged a bullet.
Respect for how many times Pastenji's name was mentioned👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Native peoples are often left out of these stories!
that's what I said. Of course it Had to be about Daniel. Glad he's gone. Natural selection
None of these guy could scale Everest without the Sherpas, THEY are the true heros, not the guys with obviously too much money.
The filth and trash is truly horrible. No thanks.
Literally a thousand others ways for Dan to raise money than on this deadly peak
I don't get this anyway as the expedition usually costs tens of thousands. What's the point?
This crowd is insane...... it takes all the SPIRIT of it.......
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Didn't realise the crowds were like that. It looks depressing.
How does it make u feel with a group that big and most likely none of those people summited 🥱, money does not take away the real challenge of it that’s why not everyone has been to the top of Everest
@@user-ju8lt8ip1xwut 😂
The thing is there is a short weather period where you can safely climb. There are not that many permits and climbers but the crowds happen bc ALL of them are able to climb during maybe like 10 days the whole year
When The 1996 everest disaster happened, people blamed overcrowding on the mountain as a factor for late summits which lead to descending late in the afternoon into bad weather. There were about 50 people trying to summit that day. 50! Now there are hundreds! People used to leave camp 4 at about 12-1am to reach the summit for about 8am. Now they leave at 8-9pm to accomplish the same goal. Time in the death zone it critical. The longer you're there the more chance you have of dying.
Cool cool. Now let me ask u this, if they take a group of let’s say 150 people, how many of those people do u think actually stay and summit? Cuz I’ll tell u it’s less then 10 including the sherpas most times. So pretty much 140 rich people got scammed cuz of there Ego’s
And now they’re doing this face to arse, dozens and dozens of climbers all tied into the same, single rope, conga-line, death zone insanity on K2, in the Bottleneck under the Serac… and we all know how that’s gonna end.
Soon it will be the same. On Annapurna.
@darkestkhan annapurna is an angry mountain. 30% of people who try die, and almost none of those trying it are amateurs. That mountain will work out the overcrowding problem by itself
They should build a nice covered heated stairway complete with restrooms and bars. By bars I mean taverns. Hell I might go then.
** best comment ever. escalator maybe ?
@katiegeyvanpittius7391 An escalator wouldn't have that mountain climbing feeling that stairs would. Lol
And get the golden arches up there!
A Big Mac on the summit would be good.
@@rosssmith8481I'd order a McFlurry but the ice cream machine will be out of service.
Screw that, I want 4 sherpas to carry me and 2 feeding me grapes. 😂
4:23 If he only wanted to raise money for a sick gym member's family, it makes no sense to make climbing mount Everest as the catalyst for that. The permits alone are like what? over 30k? add another few thousands for flight(s), expedition team costs, gear, accommodations, expenses... the total is closer to 40-45k i would imagine, why not just donate that to that family instead of pretending you're climbing for some noble reason? please, it was all for ego. It's sad two lives were lost because of this.
Pretty much called his vacation a fundraiser. What a guy! Hopefully no donated funds went to paying for the expedition.
To be fair it was probably something he planned to do anyways, so he just did it in honor of him. He spent his own money on the climb and still donated to the fundraiser from what I can tell, so what’s the issue? “Im climbing Everest for bob” is more likely to garner local support and interest than “please support bob”
Absolutely… seems rather hypocritical to me. What’s wrong walking from Lands End to John O’Groats, if you really want to raise money for a good cause? Nope, seems to me he just wanted to realise a long held goal… so, now he has selfishly potentially saddled the poor, innocent, gym member with a guilt trip, added to the pollution on the mountain and consigned yet another Sherpa to an untimely death. My heart goes out to the Sherpa’s family.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He just wanted an accolade he could boast about for the rest of his life, with little thought for the lives of others.
Part of applying for the permit should include requirements to spend x amount of hours community service to clean base camp every year.
Minor correction @ 7:33 : China did reopen the North route in 2024. Adrian Ballinger & team summited via the North route this year.
Yeah the channel creator has a couple things wrong. But otherwise not a bad video. I personally would do the north side over the southern route.
Thanks for the clarification!
The Chinese need a summitting certificate for at least one other 8,000 metre mountain before granting a permit to climb Everest from Tibet.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@wyomingadventures
I doubt you do more than the North route to your fridge...😂😂😂
It's a very sad situation. Nepal counts on the money from climbers and that leads to overcrowding and ultimately death. The regulations need to be stricter about who they allow to climb. It's a dangerous climb anyway, with the overcrowding It's deadly. It's also heartbreaking to see how trashed that beautiful mountain is. Leave it to human beings to ruin one of mother nature's most beautiful places. It is such a terrible shame.
And the semi permanent ice stairway shows that there is nothing natural nor mountaineering about it.
I agree with everything you are saying. This is out of control. Highest rubbish dump, dead bodies that cannot be brought down for families to bury, dangerous conditions, oxygen bottles and human waste. It's a very sad case of human abuse
Imagine! Spending days trying to breathe, aching all over, fighting frostbite, snowblindness, surrounded by dead bodies and all the while having to stare at someones arse in front you.
Lol. I would be miserable and depressed. No way would I do it!
The whole climb isn't waiting in a line. It's around a 40 hour climb
This should be unacceptable. The amount of garbage that must be littering that mountain now. Nobody's climbing to clean the mountain. Just exploit it. Sad.
If everyone could take one pick up one thing maybe on their way down it’d be cleaned up in a week or less! I wouldn’t want to see the mess up there and I’m not including the ppl that have died and were left. Not being disrespectful. 😕
The climbers are too spent to carry down anything they don’t have to. And since climbing season is only a few weeks it would take years to accomplish this.
Plus having to literally climb over dead bodies in places, seeing them scattered in plain sight, and actually describing climbing directions in terms such as "make sure you turn left at the dead climber in blue clothes" doesn't portend a spiritual, life-affirming experience with nature. I think it is incredibly disrespectful to the dead climbers and sherpas. They didn't allow those who found the titanic to enter the ship because it was considered desecration of a graveyard, and they could have made a fortune on that. The Sherpas believe that Everest has a spirit, and that that spirit is becoming more and more angry/sad. One year, if I remember correctly, they refused to climb because they felt the mountain was offended.
I say start a clean up Everest fund, hire Sherpas to do nothing but climb up every year for how ever many years it takes, bring down the trash and dead bodies so they can be buried, (or bury them on the mountain if possible, which it probably isn't) and then leave this poor mountain alone to repair and renew itself. THEN and only then possibly allow a very SMALL amount of experienced climbers a year to climb, picked by lottery.
There are plenty of mountains to climb in this world that aren't littered with oxygen bottles, trash bags, bodies, etc. That's too high a price to pay for a one minute picture of yourself on the summit for your own ego. If you love to climb for the sport of it, you can climb all over the world on multiple mountains that aren't trashed out and where people haven't done irreparable damage. Mountains that you love, not mountains that you ruin. I have friends who have climbed Everest. Some made it to the top, some didn't. At this point in their lives, not one of them thinks it was worth it, and not one is ever going to do it again. Stepping around dead bodies is something they have never gotten over.
They should ban climbing there! When they try to climb but litter, poop and pee these peaks, the rates to climb should be vastly increased in order to keep them off should be enacted!
@@nurserambo1316it's no wonder that the area rebelled with an earthquake 😢
You don't have to climb anything to raise money. That was an excuse, he just wanted to do it.
That is only partially true, because if you announce that you are going to do something above an average then automatically you attract more attention and therefore rise more money.
Oh, I earn money by chasing peaks, too. Those are the peaks in the charts of the stocks I have. Much safer. Can recommend. 🙂
🤔 Interesting take
It’s annoying when people pretend to have altruistic reasons for their dumb goals. Imagine if they started a gofundme for the deceased member’s family instead of using it as justification to wait in line on Everest
Shit up you absolute weapon
Have a day off you absolute weapon
Completely ludicrous! Egos unfettered. 🙄
Six people fell during that collapse, 4 were still on the guide rope and were able to climb back up. I've heard theories that Daniel and Pastenji were unhooking to get around others and were just unfortunatelty both unhooked at the same time.
If that fixed rope get loose or broke then even if they were attached to each other with they own rope it couldn’t help. Not everyone uses jumar on that ridge, some people use via ferrata equipment (you can see it even in this video). It is definitely much faster (and easier) to use carabiner then jumar, but if fixed rope brokes then you fall down.
The waste is absurd…they should be fined for leaving their ish behind. Leave no trace.

I have never been to Everest or any place like it, but in my younger days I have worked in extreme cold where failure to keep moving would have been very dangerous and rescue would come too late. There is no amount of money that would convince me to stand in a barely moving line of tourists on the side of some God-forsaken frozen mountain.
Dan slept in the same tent as polish youtuber Jakub Patecki, who returned this week after successfully summiting everest. In a few weeks, videos from this trip will appear on his channel. You may be able to find out more.

The hilary step fell off in the earthquake. That route at the very top is just a walk now. No actual climbing involved now. Just surprising it's still getting these bottleneck jams
People do very dumb things, all for ego and bragging rights. Wow Bob climbed Everest, but Bob died climbing down. What a winner Bob is.

This is... Ugh. Why BOTHER at this point? It's one giant line off the mountain, and with SO much help it's not even an accomplishment to get to the top.

Actually, China did allow foreigners in to climb this year, for the first time since 2019.
Thank you for the correction!
Everest is the Myrtle Beach of mountains.
Nike should make a shoe dedicated to mountain climbing. They could call it "Just Don't Do It."
the life long goal is unimportant compared to the health of the mountains
My favorite Everest story involved a Japanese industrialist who wanted to be the first to ski down the mountain. While it looks like snow, it is actually hard packed ice. About halfway down he broke the sound barrier. Towards the base, he may have hit the speed of light. He had a team of rescuers pick up his battered body. He lived, but it's not much of a life.
Who is this man?
Don't be ridiculous with that claim

Wow, 🫣😞what a disgrace, I’m disgusted, speechless, I can’t believe what people have done & left all over place that was once such a sacred, beautiful, majestic wonder, shame on them 🤯
Over 20 years ago, I met someone that had planned on climbing Everest but was turned off by all the garbage so he climbed the mountain next to it, instead. I still can't believe I met someone that even got that close. Still super cool. 😃
That's bonkers. It reminds me of the lines of lockstepped stampeders who went looking for gold in the Yukon in 1898/9...
This sounds like one of the most expensive ways to die.
Cool. Love this channel. Keep em coming 😊
Thank you!
I love the fact that people risk their lives to climb this mountain. They should place remote hidden cameras to document all the people who die and continue to die. I have a morbid fascination with looking at the dead bodies that stay preserved.
TT, I completely agree with you; if climbing Everest is your goal and you have the experience and skill for climbing 8K’s or any peak bagging, go for it; it is an awesome world out there. But please don’t think that just by laying out $$$ your goal can be achieved, think again. I get it, as a weekend hiker, nothing is better than setting the goal of reaching any summit and then succeeding.
But two points: 1.). Think of the risk and how it would affect those you leave behind when/if something goes wrong.
And 2. Take your trash with you. Nothing annoys me more than to see that beautiful mountain turned into a garbage pit. It bothers me to my core that those who claim to love the outdoors and relish in the spectacular beauty of nature think nothing of leaving their crap behind. Didn’t your mother tell you to always leave a place cleaner than you found it?
Thus concludes my rant today. Have a great day everyone and pick up your trash😉.
I couldn't agree more! I love my weekend hikes as much as the next person, but you must respect nature.
Always taught my kids the same way I was taught. You leave a campsite better than you found it. That could mean picking up trash or cigarette butts. It can mean cutting and stacking enough firewood to get the next occupants through their first night. Maybe hide away a small bottle of decent whiskey. Leave them some salt, anything to help out. Always told them that, if nothing else, it's good for your soul. And you know how what? They do it. Every camping trip ends in us having a drink, and policing up the campsite for the next guy.
We've tied up flies that worked for us, with a short note on how we fished them. We've drawn maps that show our hot spots. It's what we do to make our green time just that little bit more special for us, and at the sam3 time, maybe special for someone else.
Thanks for listenin'......
@@gordonsmith4039 You are my hero! Love the idea of leaving a little ‘refreshment’. I’ll incorporate that into our decamping routine. Nothing like a little ‘trail magic’ at a camp site.

The days of summiting Everest being an heroic and challenging task have passed. They should just install an escalator and be done with it. Those installing the escalators and the inevitable shopping mall at the summit will have a hard task and should be hailed as heroes.
Mr Twin, I thank you for your attention to this subject 🙏
Thank you!
2:20 ...that reminds me of historic photos of the long lines of prospectors climbing the Chilkoot Pass on their way to the goldfields of the Yukon...
@Terror Twin Just a heads up. It seems the hillary step is not the same anymore. It appears to have broke and become an easier scrabble rather than technical climb
I struggle to imagine a world where a true mountaineer, with the love of nature and love of the sport, would imagine leaving Everest in such deplorable conditions with regards to trash…
Ok I’ve been watching so many of your videos , time to subscribe. Luv your vids.
I heard about this when it first happened, several times, but now that you’ve put names and faces to the two who fell it is just so much sadder to hear about. ❤️ My heart goes out to the family and friends of those people. Such a shame. 😢
I would LOVE to go visit other countries just to get out of the US and experience what they have to offer. I don't need to climb Everest or ride through the Grand Canyon to discover what other places have to offer. My favorite thing to do is travel the unbeaten track. Finding little hole in the wall places and meeting new people is the best kind of vacation.
This was an exceptional little documentary so nicely done
Greed, incompetence (guide companies and climbers alike), tunnel vision and one of the most dangerous climbs in the world, what could possibly go wrong? SMH.
That's way too many people. If I was that crazy, I would've turned back seeing that many people.
You should credit the filmers like Ryan’s footage that you used.
Why, it’s just footage, doesn’t matter who took it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤

Does the news credit everything they use? He's using fair use practices. He's not claiming the video is his. He's reporting on it. People that wanna see the original clip, and care will @justinsmith4562
No *you're* the one who should credit Terror Twin for using Ryan's footage just like it ain't no thang.
I don’t like waiting in line for anything.
This is an accomplishment in patience that I have no desire for
It doesn’t even look like an adventure. It looks like dangerous Disneyland.
2024 actually had WAY more guide/Sherpa to climber ratio. One team which was followed closely had 1 guide, 10 Sherpas, and only 4 climbers. Each climber had their own personal Sherpa to guide them on summit day. They also had Sherpas that stayed close enough during acclimatization that if any of them had fallen they would have had pretty much instant assistance. This is why 2024 had not anywhere near as many deaths as past years. The only difference is that for each and every client that died, there was also a Sherpa who died, except for the Mongolians that were climbing as a duo without any support. But even they were offered a FREE Sherpa to climb with them to the summit, and they refused.
Not all teams had the 11:4 ratio as the Garrett Mountaineering, however, they all had at LEAST 1:1 ratio of Sherpa to climber. Also, in past years the Sherpas mainly did the work and not actual guiding or personally assisting climbers. But this year every single climber was at the very least offered a Sherpa to personally guide them on summit day both up and down the mountain and that Sherpa stayed close to the climber. This is far different from past years. I think this was a direct response to 2023 high death count and the negative media attention that came from year after year stories of unprepared climbers attempting a summit and not making it back down alive.
I won’t stand in line for a chair lift..
This is a Mountain that DESERVES RESPECT and SHUT DOWN ALL TRIPS TO THE TOP
as someone else commented on another video, in nature there are no accidents, only consequences. RIP
Those Sherpas are amazing. Hauling all that weathy dead weight up the mountain to engratiate a narcassist's ego. Truly Amazing! The ego alone must weigh 10 lbs.
What was wrong with Everest being a mountain people earned to attempt, by steadily learning and mastering climbing thru hard work and putting the time in? Every time something is commercialized it is ruined.
Ain’t that the truth.
Really good. Thank you.
I don't even like to stand in lines in grocery stores. To close to strangers. Doing that on a death mountain is insanity.
Being experienced doesnt guaruntee anything wont go wrong, it just means theres probably less of a chance something going to go wrong. Every tourist trap or adventure needs to be regulated and made as safe as poss when life or death is a very high possibility. Feels like money means more than safety by the looks of it!!
It seems K2 is getting similar
I had no idea this was going on. It's unbelievable what with the risks, deaths, corpses and human waste, and litter everywhere.
You need to read the book "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer. He is a survivor of one of the worst Mt Everest disasters that left several climbers dead on the mountain. A very riveting book.
@@TC-eo5eb Thank you. I'll check it out.
Every May I get excited for these videos
I sometimes get confused if a video is old because every May its the same recurring stories: lines, trash,death.
The overcrowding is still bad on k2 aswell.
No its not
For what they pay to climb, you think there would be a dump fee removal in this money they pay . Someone is pocketing a lot of money and not caring about the mountain. The company should be responsible for this trash.
Who would risk their life to go and pick up trash there realistically? Climbers who take a few steps away from the main path often end up losing their life.

I’m talking about down at base camp . It’s a dumpb
it's Amazing the lights of the climbers heading up the mountain, it looks much like a freeway here in LA....and the base camp doesn't look like the edge of civilization, it looks like a village or homeless encampment
From what I have seen in documentaries about Everest is, that the fatality rate under climbers that ultimately make the serious attempt to reach the Summit is very high. The numbers shown from this video that last year 478 climbers got the permit to climb the mountain. I don't know from what stage in the climb the fatality rate is calculated out off all the climbers that attempt to climb. From 2023 that of the 479 climbers 'only' 18 people have died is an other figure than I have seen in several videos and documentaries.
From what I have learned, from each 4 people Sherpa's excluded because they are helping the tourist in reaching the Summit, that from every 4 that reaches the Summit 1 will die. That was a very hard statistic that they showed and what is a crazy amount and I don't know how many people ultimately reach the destination. Many won't come nearby and already need to come back before reaching thenlast camps. So if it is really 1 out of 4 and 18 died. Does that mean an a average of 72 only reached the Summit? Biggest problem people uses all their time energy and too much supplemental oxygen and forget the most difficult part, the decent were mistakes are made.
So what does this mean? Can someone clarify this high number because if many hundreds try to go to the top, that would litterly mean a mass su¡c¡de is taken place each year.
First of all buddy, that isn't a real statistic lmao. Go learn the actual facts because you come across as ignorant.
@tomcooks2562 I say what I have seen from a documentary about Everest and with this video. I get 2 totally different statistics about sadly the fatalities that happen, so in my comment I also ask in a polite matter what the right number is because this video does not include from how many that get a permit get high enough to seriously attempt a summit, so figures can be interpreted differently.
So "Buddy" instead of reacting on a polite matter, you just say I am ignorant because I ask politely what the real numbers are and how they calculate them. You could tell me what they are, if you know the real statistics, instead of being very disrespectful to me and just call me names..
all those tents
its like GARBAGE PILE wtf...
i get it people want some accomplishments in their lifes. BUT AT WHAT COSTS
Wow!! What a terrifying story.
Peace be upon their families ❤
Could you cover the death of Cheruiyot Kirui's death on Mt Everest this climbing season? He was attempting a no bottled oxygen summit
Could you cover the death of Cheruiyot Kirui, a Kenyan who lost his life on Mt Everest this season. He was attempting a no bottled oxygen summit
Don't call the Nepalese government greedy for charging fees! Those fees are 5 figures and they do it to discourage people from climbing. However, the more it has been raised, the more people who want to climb. That isn't their fault. If there were no fees, even more people would be there! They instituted the fees to stop so many people from climbing. There would be even more deaths if there were no fees.
The thing is that money is not used to benefit the people, it goes straight in some officials pockets. And in the meantime deforestation is hoing on to accomodate all these tourists. It's a developpment that is not good
I Wonder where do they all get their Money from?? Its so expensive, it would be better to put the Money into Social Things…😎👍
Those queues are insane, and nothing but a recipe for disaster. Have fun with everest, folks. I'll stay here.
The overexploitation of these mountains makes me sick.
