I think, seems the sherpas risk their lives for pennies per climb, they should, AT THE VERY LEAST, be allowed to decide when to call off a climb.
Many of the organisations are Asian and often owned by Sherpa families. its the corrupt government taking the bulk of the money.
If I had Elon money I would pay the Sherpas not to go on the mountain.
Most of them love it though. They don't like being overworked just like anybody else but most of them love the work itself and are extremely proud of it.....
@Elon-Born with money, makes more money, and gives none away!
@@JasonP6339they love climbing. They don't love the multiple risks they make for the "extra" pay. It's actually disgusting what they are paid. Absolutely disgusting.
Yes maybe just paid what they deserve to be paid
white man's burden lol, yeah how benevolent of you, saving the poor savage from their livelihood that others are paying tens of thousands of dollars to do themselves. right
Thanks for covering the real heroes of mountaineering in Himalayas. The Sherpas deserve way more in every aspect for the risks they take and work they do. They really deserve more respect and equality rather than be treated as tools to be used and to take on risks that no one else is expected to take.
Agree❤
Great, thanks for posting...NOW we can be be a "mountaineers-in-our-own-minds" without risking personal injury!
We can climb Everest without crampons, rope, risk, and still get a GREAT view.
We conquered K2 last week, but went through a whole bag of Doritos because K2 is rough.
DUDE i just LOVE the hustle and bustle of the big city, it’s so DYNAMIC and makes me feel like i’m in one of my favourite TV SHOWS. you should totally come on down to my studio apartment, it’s got EXPOSED RED BRICK walls and everything, we can crack open a nice hoppy ipa or three and get crazy watching some cartoons on adult swim! and dude, dude, DUDE, we have GOTTA go down to the barcade- listen here, right, it’s a BAR where us ADULTS who do ADULTING can go DRINK. BUT!!!! it’s also an ARCADE like when we were kids, so we can play awesome VIDEO GAMES, without dumb kids bothering us. speaking of which megan and i have finally decided to tie the knot- literally -we’re both getting snipped tomorrow at the hospital, that way we can save money to spent more on ourselves and our FURBABIES. i’m fuckin JACKED man, i’m gonna SLAM this craft beer and pop open another one!!!
💀💀💀
😂 Perfect. Best comment! 🏆
"We"??
Speak for yourself, l*ser !
@@chazzbranigaan9354 Good Point.....I''m a cement / steel / iron kind of guy myself....I love the sound of construction equipment in the morning. I don't want to know jack, only the sound of jackhammers.
I climb Everest with earbuds, listening to a recording of a Case 550 Loader idling at 525 RPM on a non-stop loop.
This is how you climb mountains, Son......You take the "rest" out of Everest & "get high" like a MAN!
Man I love these videos!
I also gotta say I love that you started off with respect to the sherpas. They truly are the impressive ones.
Well done Bryce for cancelling the climb: listening to his gut and showing true leadership.

Shame creators still have a "if I don't put chapters, people will watch longer" mindset...
Anyways, cheers legend 🤙🙏
23:05 apparently there are A LOT more than "only 1 first" if you're paying any attention to these marathons. First man, first woman, first Cambodian, first geriatric Rottweiler, first man under 40 with blond hair and no pubes, first pescatarian.... the list seems endless. After I head the marathon that said "he wanted to be the first vegan to summit Denali" I lost my last particle of patience for these people.
lmfao honestly it is ridiculous. first person should just be the end of it. no one gives af about these made up “records” except for the people making them up.
I literally just finished watching the video on the woman who wanted to be the “first Asian with a pacemaker” to summit Mount Everest.
@@IronWangCreates sigh. Lol
You've inspired me, I'm gonna be the first overweight, out of shape, youtube watching nerd to climb Mt. Everest. I'm gonna start stocking up on ice cream to acclimate to the cold.
😂😂😂😂😂
I’m no mountaineer but I honestly believe that, as Scott Fischer (RIP) said during the tragic 1996 expedition that if you can’t climb, “you shouldn’t be on the mountain at all.” He was right. Unfortunately, he, and about nine other people passed away in a freak storm on the way down from the summit. I heard that most people on Everest die on the way down.
8 people total
I'm glad there are still some people willing to take chances & explore especially in space. We need to always to have men & woman willing to do this despite the obvious risks, because that is how we learn.
They do not pay those Sherpas nearly enough
I guess they do since the sherpas keep taking them
@@Anonymous38572they do it out of desperation to take care of their family because although the pay is disgusting, it's way above the average pay in Nepal.
So they many a couple thousand a season. The average yearly income in Nepal is $700. So they are very well off. Nepal is very very poor. Not every nation will be well off. Just like not even person has a good life. Unfortunately this is just life. Just how the cookie crumbles. But they should be listened to. In every death they almost always say they told the dead person to go back and they don’t listen. But something are just freak storms and accidents.
@@Heavyisthecrown it’s not 700 per year it hovers around 700 a month (its made it up to like 861 USD monthly at one point). Articles that compare the two are comparing the average monthly salary in Nepal (converted from NPR to USD) to the average income sherpas make in the two month climbing season. The average income in Nepal is a tricky subject because we’re relying on calculations made with unstable exchange rates between two unstable economies. According to world salaries the average yearly income in Nepal is approximately 970,200 NPR a year which converts to approximately 7275 USD today. Sherpas do not make enough in the two months of the climbing season to meet that yearly average. Sherpas often work in the off season because of this they risk their lives for two months to then still have to work the other ten. Sherpas make more than average if they also have a second job but they’re still by no means rich considering the scope of wealth disparity in Nepal.
TLDR; you’ve mistook monthly for yearly income. Sherpas make under the average income in Nepal if they do not work outside of the two month climbing season.
I really enjoy this series. Pleasant Sunday afternoon surprise to see the upload. Thanks 🙂
Oh boy...I think I may be hooked on these stories!😮😊
I watch these because I'm intrigued with the morbid curiosity of a person's will to make a choice knowing an option is either death or accepting the challenge to fill the exhilaration of victory.
May they rest in ever lasting peace. Prayers for the family and fellow Sherpa .
They're the most needed on any climb. RIP xxxx
lmao the addition of the screams to splat sounds were wild..
Imagine living your whole life as an expert mountaineer, then you wind up in a youtube compilation after a terrible tragedy that took your life.
I love this content keep it coming! great for sleepy time
I think not all Sherpas want to do such risky work. But they may not have a choice. He has to take care of his family. In fact, there should be security for them in addition to their regular income. No one wants to die. Love Sherpas.❤
SHERPA ARE NOT EXPENDABLE...THEY ARE AS IMPORTANT AS THE TOURIST MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS..LET THE TOURIST MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS SET THEIR OWN ROPES AND LADDERS...
@@GeneralFranco-jr2jiwell then they should say no we won't take you. Either pay use twice as much or don't go at all. But they don't. It's quite easy it would also get ride of the none serious climbers only the rich people would be left in order to afford the Sherpas. So why don't they boycott 🤷
I'll wait until they have the gondola built and established. Then im gonna summit that bad boy.
Been waiting on you to post #9! You better be working on #10 cos I hate waiting 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love these videos !
Fastest click on a video in a while!
Guilty also😊 we the fast clickers
Thank God for Russell Brice !! ❤️🔥🙏He listened to the mountain and pulled the plug on the icefall and saved his sherpas and climbers ❤️🔥
That climber at 1:58 has been at it for a couple of years now ... lol. A nice camera shot indeed of these high risk adventurers doing what they love (I flew Hanggliders for 11 years), climbing over the remains of ancient mega Titan dragons bodies fossilized thousands of years ago, awesome.
Yay, another Terror Twin video!
**minutes later**
Holy ××××.. ohh my..
That’s gotta be one of the fastest glaciers on the planet…3-4 feet per day is gnarly for a glacier
Big strong mountaineer chugging up. And then exhausted they take the final nap by a glacier. 😮
I saw a documentary about the amount of trash the mountaineers leave behind. And now I see this beautiful ice and just keep thinking about the tons of shit people leave up there.
And, they’re leaving their literal 💩 behind as well! There’s loads of frozen human waste there now, too. Humans have really trashed that mountain :/
Liked and subbed 👍
Maybe if they band together they can demand the pay they deserve. Unionize.
I love it.
My as well center on the Sherpas for every mountain climbing video! They do 75% of the work. But Man does not have 9 lives. 🙏
Criminally underrated
Criminals I tell ya…criminals
Yes
mataias .... where you find this ?
I just now got the notification... I'm an hour late.. 😢
learning that the sherpas do the most dangerous work - setting up the icefall for the tourist mountaineers - fills me with pure rage. I had a dim view of Mt Everest climbers before and it's even dimmer now. how selfish, how despicable. sherpas don't even believe in climbing the mountain because it's sacred to them. they're only risking their lives because these wealthy pricks are paying them to do it!
if you want to "find" yourself or test your mettle, work in fucking customer service. 3 months of dealing with Target customers will test you more than any mountain 🙄
When every person pays 50.000 for a climb on Mt Everest why aren't the sherpas paid (at least ) a thousand for every climber that uses the track they lay?
Sherpas earn a high wage in comparison with other people of Nepal. Wages are determined by the economics of the area and a variety of factors that can’t all be addressed with comments. Search around and you will figure it out.
@@flintspeicher8152 I am well aware that they are horribly underpaid for the risk they take. It is above the average wage in the region, but this isn't enough.
@@TorianTammas so how much is enough? Do you think that you should decide? Or should they decide for themselves?
@@TorianTammasso the average income in Nepal is $700 a year. They make 3,000-5,000 a season. So they are technically rich in their country. But I do not believe this should commercialized period. If you wanna climb the mountain, climb it. Don’t have 100 Nepali’s carry all your shit. We should leave the mountain be. But this is seriously the ONLY way to make money there. They have no natural resources or minerals at all. Their only revenue source is this. So if no one came there the locals would be devastated. They do not want this to stop.
@@Heavyisthecrownimagine being so confident in something you’re so sorely mistaken about that you comment it everytime someone expresses they think Sherpas should make more money. The average income in Nepal is 2k USD more than what Sherpas make in a good climbing season. They should make enough risking their lives in the climbing season that they shouldn’t have to work otherwise but that just isn’t the case.
It was the British expedition. It was massive. Hillary and Norgay made no decisions about the Khumbu icefall or anything else. They followed directions.
Ive been watching these videos for past few days and iam really curios (I cant find this information anywhere) - How many kilometers you have to treck from the base camp to the top of Everest? I know you have to do it in parts and colectively probably hike more than twice the distance but i would like to know how long is the treck "on paper"
I don't know in kilometers, but it's approximately 40 miles.
Google Earth is free
@@kamakaziozzie3038 Shutting up is also free if you are not going to answer a question
"I will come back for you" ~ the deadly last words, spoken to those left to die, over & over again ~ on these videos. If you climb & hear them, stand & descend along with those willing to leave you, or suffer an eternity of pain.
What is that title music pls? Love it.
May they rest in ever lasting peace ❤
Wow that guy just was supposed to be holding the ladder.. 19:37
It’s about time more climbers start their summit bid from the Tibet side. No Khumbu glacier.
The more inexperienced don’t like using the North option as it requires proof of other 8K summit experience
It’s not open I believe.
@@googleknowsus8184 China reopened the Tibet side (North Ridge) back in April of this year
Died doing what they love. Deadly love.
That dude falling when the ladder failed😢
The Mountaineers should be 100% paying for injuries, deaths or whatever happens to Sherpas. They're all loaded, they all let the Sherpas set the route, they all know the risks and they let these poor, tough men go first. The Nepalese government should fine every foreigner $50000 every time a Sherpa is killed or seriously injured on their expedition. Hopefully they'd think twice before putting those brave men at risk. Racism at it's very worst, sorry to say.
Yea that's like saying any time you crash a car you owe the government 50k
@@dakotabynum5137 Every climber should pay 10k to the Sherpa's part of it as a payment and another part as a payout in case a Sherpa is injured or dies.
@@TorianTammasthen there wouldn’t be any Sherpa lol 10,000 in Nepal… you’d never work again. The average yearly income is $700. They are paid between 3k-5K a season.
@@Heavyisthecrown once again you’ve mistaken monthly salary for yearly salary. You can look it up for yourself. The average YEARLY income in Nepal is 970,200 NPR or 7,275 USD. Sherpas make around 5,500 USD in a two month climbing season and need to work outside of the climbing season to meet or exceed the average annual income in Nepal. Articles that compare the average salary in Nepal to what Sherpas make in a two month climbing season are comparing that to the average monthly salary in the region. The level of ignorance you’ve shown in this comment is actually kind of gross and shows not only a deep misunderstanding of economics but a deep misunderstanding of people.
stay safe people
Wonder if they had fun?
Mishael Mathews, why would you call it a rescue when it was clearly a body recovery attempt.
Your comment about Mont-Blanc and Chamonix is interesting. Actually, Mont-Blanc is, surprisingly, a larger mountain than Everest,
since it rises a full 3800 meters over its base, which is roughly 13,5 kilometres across, while Everest is towering barely 2900 meters over its base whose width is much less than 13 kilometres unless we include the neigoughring summits of Lhotse and Nuptse as
being themselves parts of Everest. Similarly, a lot of mountains like Denali, Mt Logan and Mt Rainier are possibly larger than Mt Everest.
However, this being said, Mt Everest summit is clearly HIGHER than the highest peak of Mont-Blanc and the effects of altitude, the extremes of weather conditions and the lack of oxygen make it a much harder mountain to climb than Mont-Blanc.
I always think of a full body suit that can take humans to the highest and lowest places on earth, maintaining regular body temperature and an oxygen conversion mechanism ie no tank. Seems doable.
? Look at the mountain lol
38:14 😭😭😭???
I wonder if those sherpas consider that some people don't get to have families. Shame on them.
That was certainly not a Georgian folk song😂😂😂😂😂
Is there no way to avoid khumbu Icefall at all? Or is it even more dangerous?
There are two routes up. The north route is more dangerous I think and the Chinese government had it closed for the last couple of years due to COVID
The most popular routes are the South Col route (Nepal, where the Khumbu icefall is located) and the North Col route (Tibet). The Nepal side is by far the most popular, and also the only route that allows helicopter rescue from as high as camp 3 (~ 7,100m). The Nepal side is colder with harsher winds, no opportunity for helicopter rescue if necessary, and is harder to climb because of loose rocks. There are around 20 known routes to summit, but they’re all much harder to climb than the two main routes.
@@meggo329 apparently the Chinese government reopened the Tibet side on april of this year.
It’s crazy $400 for a life and you can’t even pay millions to not have a person you love gone and after fighting they got 10k is still awful and feel bad people do that for a living without being paid well and if something happens they should pay the family big money without even asking
No praise or as given to the Sherpa that saved Hillary's life so that he could reach the summit. I want to know how money did Hillary pay him. He is the true hero. He should have been knighted.
Rich people are annoying. Son does something incredibly dangerous and dies: sue!
Also don’t think summits should count unless they successfully descend.
Абсолютно не факт,что если заплатить людям,рождённым у моря,не выходить больше в море,которое их кормит, но при этом опасно для жизни,и они перестанут ловить рыбу?????!!!!!😮
I understand Sherpas do it for work and to sustain they families but the rest that pay 90k just to "achieve it " I don't understand specially the parents who did it after they kid begged them not to and left him alone since both died .
It was Matthias choice to climb Denali on his own. He failed and died. He was not deserving of people risking their lifes to look for him.
If you weren’t there, YOU DON’T KNOW. people with no high altitude climbing experience have no business on those behemoths. Saying to your chum ‘hey! Wanna climb Mt. Everest?’ Is ludicrous. Shelling out tens of thousands of dollars for the best guides and interviewing the whole team (ridiculous) doesn’t guarantee that your loved one will summit and return safely. I swear, some of these people who think they can climb these peaks have their heads up their a**. 🙄
"Honorary representative?" He was a Soviet citizen,
I wish this guy would correctly say bivouac
I'm so happy to see this comment. It's driving me nuts!
@Sweet_Tooth_Art Former military here and it's like nails on a chalkboard....and he says it so much! Ugh....
saying Mikhail Hergiani came from a small country is hilarious. he was born in USSR
Nice sharring
let's be honest here, Nepal doesn't owe those families ANYTHING. if anything, they owe Nepal tons of money for the loss of tourism revenue all those Sherpas caused by being so clumsy up on that mountain and creating such a bad PR fiasco.
400 dollars??????😮 WTF NEPAL???
Guy on ladder is murdered that other feet didn’t need to be on ladder pushing forward ice bridge man was killed murdered
🤔
Love the channel, but please work on the transition between the title screens and your first words after, the jump cut legit feels jarring idk why
Good for the Sherpa's!
This got me thinking, as we should, that each family in Maui got $700.00. Why expect more from the same people who caused the whole thing for the quick & planned land grab in the first place?
For those who think those things don't exist, (Direct energy weapons and major weather modifications, even causing hurricanes, they're talking about using them on Palestine (dews). All this has been out in the open if you only care to do your research.
Sorry y'all. The Sherpa's fight for the families just reminded me of what happened to Maui families, let alone the thousands of missing children & the disinformation from media.
Too many commercials
Georgia the homeland of Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili,aka Joseph Stalin and aa far as i know he was not a mountain climber.
Everest is the HIGHEST mountain. Not tallest. Tall mountains have high relief, like Dhaulagiri. Tall people can lie down.
OK I'm 100% not trying to be rude but do you pronounce words incorrectly on purpose to drive engagement? Like I can understand 1 or 2 times with Bivouac but chasm 😅
I cannot get around how the Sherpas who lost their lives where only worth pennies really. A few thousand dollars for a whole life. Shocking.
Wow!! This guy is sooooooo nasal !!!!
Then don’t listen. 🙄
...and you are?? @@MiffetBlue
$40,000 for 1 spot on an Everest expedition? I don't feel bad for them
That’s cheap these days too
only rich people can climb it, i would not do it even if you paid me 1mil
It's paid to the Nepal government, the Sherpas make above minimum wage .
Americans always trying to sue someone 😅
Just a quick comment here. American measures and etc are just....stupid mate. Feet.inches...so bloody messy and confused.. just like 12 hours format ..Fahrenheit... Funny thou. Cheers
Why not spend 5 min learning how to pronounce the names of people and places you are discussing?
Can’t do that. They’re North American.
Be careful getting your information from this person/channel. A lot of bad bad information given out by him. He constantly changes complete stories, or doesn’t know enough about it, simply just doesn’t know, or simply not knowing and saying whatever he wants.
Which channels are better in terms of true mountain stories
3:22 climbers absolutely do NOT climb through Khumbu 8x. That would be four round trips. I’ve not climbed but have been to base. Many will know much, much, MUCH more but this seems like you’re are reporting the old number. Before 2015 disaster specifically. Sherpa however do indeed make their way through atleast a couple dozen times. It’s about exposure. Paying climbers now acclimatize using hyperbaric solutions in advance or go to other surrounding peaks to acclimatize that are far less dangerous first. This in turn does aid in minimizing Sherpa exposure. But not reducing to anything near negligible. It’s still a great risk.
But that’s why I don’t climb there. Many ppl sit here and say things they, all due respect, literally have no first hand knowledge of or any experience with .High altitude climbing is a business at its core. Shouting about the discrepancy in risk from Sherpa vs climber without recognizing that is dishonest. At the end of the day, No one has to be there. Everyone chooses to be. And some situations are uglier than others. But as I said on this channel before, it’s so easy to point to a piece of information with enormous amounts of levers that had to be triggered before we reached it.
- Tell the stories of how the expansion of agencies that get climbers to the peak and how they employ guides- how they might affect pay structure of the highly qualified support on the mountain when you have services bottoming out the labor which dilutes the best more experienced talent to negotiate appropriate compensation.
- Talk about the government issuing more permits which in turn forces these agencies that pop up and profit from the increased demand supplementing guide support under this pretense. If there’s a profit incentive, there’s a corner to cut.
- Talk about the relaxed thresholds needed to acquired a permit which has increased in less experienced climbers in increasingly more dangerous situations which has in turn put more Sherpa and porters at risk with increased climbing responsibilities.
- Talk about the pay structure of the porters built around rewarding more trips through, say, Khumbu and moving more load.
THEN if you want, talk about the morality of high altitude climbing in Nepal and its financial mechanisms that play in the disparaging risk.
No one does that . Bc it’s much easier to retell the story from an Alan Arnette’s blog or an NPR article or a Wikipedia page. It’s much more difficult to talk about the nuance of this situation which is considerably more “interesting” if that’s the right word even. But if we keep just doing this, you’ll keep perpetuating the issues in your own way. Atleast touch on how we get to these tragedies. Yes , it requires more investigatory work which you may have not thought was your job but I think you’ll find it more interesting as someone who tells these stories. There seems to be a lot more beneath the surface than ppl seem to want to look at in the face.
I used to go to the local climbing spots and wait for the people to head up the trails then I’d break into their cars, steal stuff, smoke cigarettes inside them and throw the lit butts in the seats, sometimes pee and poop inside the trunk. But then I stopped because my grandma kicked me out of the house
A true hero you are
The second story? Unfortunately, you’re pronouncing Mathias’ name completely wrong, and it’s actually and correctly pronounced “Ma-tea-iss” not “Ma-thigh-us”. I went to school with not one, but two guys named Mathias, and both pronounced their name like the former, not like the latter. And every other Mathias I’ve ever met or heard of pronounced their name like the former pronunciation 😊 I don’t know where the name comes from, but I grew up in Canada and that’s the only place I’ve come across the name (I’m pretty well traveled and have been living in the U.K. for about 12 years now and have never come across another Mathias, but in Canada I had the two I went to school with, one I worked with and about 4 or 5 other Mathias’ I’ve come across in different places in Canada)
In the US is not always pronounced the way you stated here is it commonly pronounced Math-is so I think it I were your from not to stay he was wrong especially since he is researching these stories to share with others…..
So bc it's pronounced that way in Canada that's the way it's pronounced everywhere? It's pronounced Ma-thigh-us in the US
As far as I am concerned the Sherpas were the hero's on any mountain climb. People were willing to pay loads of money just to get to the peak, but were not willing to pay money to the poor humble people that allowed them to do so. Money is the route of all evil and always the poor people came of worse
That's crazy that this Kumbu Ice fall happened in 2014 the year right before the 2015 Earthquake, ....back to back Epic crazy ...ok fine i feel bad for the sherpas now, guess I'm not totally iced out in my pro mountain lack of human compassion.
9:22 no stories we just want to see the disaster
Oh boy...I think I may be hooked on these stories!😮😊
It's officially my hobby
