I assume the outdoor pursuit ‘orienteering’ doesn’t exist in the USA? What’s it called there? Just orienting, or orientating? Neither of those words have anything to do with reading maps to navigate somewhere. Stupid meaningless strangulation of words.
I’ve done some light mountaineering, Mt Shasta in California, a few 14ers in Colorado, I understand the drive to reach the summit but big time mountaineering is out of the question for me. I think a decreased number of summit permits is an obvious first step to making Everest and Himalayan mountaineering in general safer. Personally I think there needs to be a list of required peaks before someone even gets a shot at Everest and additional requirements for independent expeditions. I also think Everest should absolutely be a required peak before anybody gets a shot at K2 or Annapurna. I also think there needs to be some level of oversight of commercial expeditions, as it seems every year there’s more rumors about certain commercial expeditions being sketchy at best. I think for guided expeditions, Sherpas word should be law on the mountain. If your sherpas tell you to turn around: *you turn around.* The sherpas should also have the highest individual pay, paid on a per climber basis, regardless of a successful summit. I realize that I don’t know the ins and outs of the Himalayan climbing industry, but these seem like no brainers to me.
Most climbers who climb alone don’t use emergency gps or avalanche beacons. Don’t climb using ropes. Even if he had one it would have been in his backpack.
Aww, your pronunciation of the german names sounds adorable. Completely butchered, but keep it up xD. great videos btw, happy to have found your channel
It’s almost impossible to grasp just how steep some of these faces are. Luckily I’m scared of heights and have a legit medical reason why no one can force me to climb a mountain for charity!
Great video. I wonder if the guy who fell into the crater in St. Helen’s could’ve hiked out the back side of the crater and back around the mountain. Maybe it was too much distance to cover but it looks like you could walk right out of it. I’d also be curious to know how he died. This is the second video I’ve seen on it and both just say he died after the second fall. I’m guessing some type of trauma from the fall.
That would have led him to the wrong side. Meaning he would have walked out and then have to go around the mountain. For someone in snowboarding boots he wouldn’t have made it past night time. He also only had light jacket and not prepared for an overnight stay in freezing night weather
Boxing? You mean guys (some ladies) who beat the crap out of each other, sometimes into unconsciousness or serious injuries. Not so much of an adrenaline rush compared to BASE jumping, skydiving, caving, etc. But each to his own. Personally, I get my adrenaline fix by watching all of these people doing all of these things that I never will.
Yet another cigarette smoking medical doctor… Maybe over-consume absinthe and EverClear as well. All in the interest of legitimate physiological and mental faculty retention research!
Salute for saying "disoriented" and not "disorientated."
Only in America….sigh. It’s called English for a reason 😊🏴
It's funny when Americans think that they invented English.
@@tdurb0 bro your country is irrelevant now, no-one cares about the British Empire anymore except you guys

I think that this is by far your best compilation!! Nicely done!!! 👍
Your narrating voice has gotten really nice to listen to, I can’t wait for more videos🙌
"Not tonight babe, the terror twin mountaineering marathon just dropped"
Truth.
Mt. St. Helens is so distinctive in the skyline because it looks like a mountain that got its top chopped off
How does this channel not have more subscribers?? - definitely deserves more..
Keep it up!! 💯
I love your compilations.. nap time fuel for this afternoon 😁🤘🏻
I thought I was weird cuz I stick the whole marathon playlist on to chill myself to sleep! 😂
Glad it’s not just me
Excellent job!!
I don't understand why you are not at 100k yet!!!I love watching and listening to your videos ❤!
great work. love the channel
I love your content.
And your style of presenting it
thanks for the shoutout to women mountaineers :)
I would’ve thought someone as experienced as Rocky would’ve had emergency GPS unit. Are those not so common

Great job

He may have been avoiding as much volcanic activity as possible. He did say it was incredibly unpredictable
poor mountaineers, barely kept their families fed
It’s a pity Rocky didn’t curl up for the night with a hot rocky, very sad.
Love your videos, but the extra “N” you pronounce in “indi(N)cating” makes my eye twitch 😂
@Terror Twin : C in polish as well as in other slavic languages is pronounced like "ts" in "tsunami". (and "w" is like "v", just like in german).
Where is #12 ??
As a french speaker, let me tell you that you absolutely destroyed the pronunciation of Boulogne Billancourt at 13:05. It was kinda funny.
I’ll never understand playing with your life, your loved ones emotions, and rescuers lives. Seems selfish
Adrenalin junkies. It's an addiction.
Because its there
Why do yall love peril so much? I’m genuinely curious. You could easily get the same adrenaline taking up boxing or something
Climbing mountains is beautiful and satisfying. Boxing, not so much, at least not for me.
