The K1 (Masherbrum) Disaster
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 08. 2023
- K1, aka Masherbrum, is a jagged peak that has been overshadowed by the infamous K2. However, K1 is an even more difficult ascent; one of the hardest mountains to climb in the entire world, and few climbers dare attempt to ascend its steep, treacherous slopes.

So, he wandered off by mistake and found shelter. Then slid 1000 feet down a slope and was largely uninjured? Was this guy just loading previous saves?
He had an achievement to unlock and didn't care how many retries it took to get it.
It sounds nuts but they spend a few days at this crazy high altitude before the summit assault. Imagine doing hard labor and only being able to take one shallow breath every ten seconds.. it’s almost like choking. That’s how it is the last quarter of K2.. you make one poor decision in an oxygen deprived stupor and you die. It’s a brutal mountain. Look up Annapurna mountain. It’s killed like 35% of all climbers who have tried.
Altitude sickness is no joke.. and it picks its victims at random. An out of shape fat guy can do fine at high altitude where an Olympic athlete can drop dead.. and you don’t know which you are til you’re up there.
People always asking me me why are you always out climbing a mountain ⛰️, and I'm like "Dude, because it's their"!..... damn bro, I like sound smart
I wonder if the mountaineer returned to camp was aided by his fall. No one can repeat the route because the fall is integral to it’s successful descent.
Probably won’t ever be willingly repeated, but yes definitely aided his decent.
That’s fucking insane. “Hey just fall 1000 feet and you’ll be right about where I was : )”
Ironic that the climber who strayed off the path ended up surviving. So many times that ends in disaster. Then to climb down one of the most difficult mountains solo. That's an amazing feat.
And then fell 1,000 feet. That's one way to get down a mountain fast. Another is a wing suit.
As soon as the narrator got to that part, I thought Heinrich was a goner, but turns out he avoided sharing his climbing partners' fate by straying off.
Dude had God on his side. He got lost which spared him from freezing to death in the wind, then he fell 1,000 feet off an ice cliff at 24,000 feet and somehow still made it.
Excellent. The accuracy and intensity of this documentary left me completely exhausted.
I attempted K1. No dice. I did succeed at KY.
For the algorithm 👊
What does that mean

@aparna5868
It’s what autists who know what 40K is say
Now prepare to see only videos from this channel and maybe one other because the most recent algorithm is busted
@@aparna5868 hitting like and commenting on a vid enters it into more of a priority spot within your algorithm
love your videos. this is one of the best mountaineering disaster channels on youtube (of which i follow many lol). i have never heard of this mountain or disaster which made it all the more interesting. i also really enjoy your narration style- it’s very calming.
your first k-2 video put me into a deep rich sleep many moons ago and ive been in on your channel since, seeing another is like a sequel to this memory
He sounds like he's either going to sleep or is on qualudes, it's very relaxing!😂
It's always a good day with some new Morbid Midnight Mountaineering!! Thank you for educating us about these great mountains and honoring the brave souls who challenge their heights. Nothing makes doing the dishes more enjoyable than these videos 🏔️
What an incredible story. I'm really enjoying these videos on less well known peaks, each one is a window into a unique location
I’m fascinated by mountain climbing which is odd because I’m terrified of heights and hate to be cold!
Many mountain climbers also hate both of those things, some fears have a magnetism, some don't I guess.
Same
That's one of the scariest mountains I've ever seen. Beautiful, but scary. Thanks for an excellent story.
This is the first video I've seen detailing K1.
Okay, guys, I'll gladly go to the mountain... To hike around the base, smell some flowers and have a drink at sunset!
I'm with you. I'll bring some fine Japanese Sake.
The mountain is way above the treeline. No flowers up there.
Maybe stick to the lowlands
I'm bringing some binoculars so we can study the Darwin award candidates.
Goes the wrong direction and the fall probably saved his life. Luckiest, unlucky man to ever live...
The roof of the world. That party us humans have a hard time being a part of.
Love your channel. I'm always in awe of the bravery shown by the mountaineering community.
Yeah, like when they abandon people to die because they didn't pay the fee for a guide, or they're a porter instead of a paying customer.
This is so informative!!! Fantastic video; I love this kind of content!🌻🌼🐝
That’s totally bad ass never knew about the imposing impossibly of K-1 it’s never going anyplace but the expedition costs of sherpas alone and experienced enough climbers ( ten world wide ?) , no one is willing to temp fate I loved your Ogre Mountain video BTW your productions are always a treat .
It’s a stupid tough climb. Everest from the south Col is pretty easy. No route of K2 is easy. It kills a ton of people a year and they are REAL mountaineers.
Altitude sickness, avalanche, or crevasse.. you’ve got like a 1 in 5 chance of one of those killing you. Brutal.
Huh...so there IS a "K1"...
Horrific finding by Heinrich !! 😮😮💀
Damn; he fell 1000 ft and survived ! Guess the 🏔️🏞️⛰️ liked him ! 😯😁💪
Manythnx Morbit Midnight 🤘
Thank you for your hard work!
I love your mountain disaster videos
Lookup “David Snow” his whole channel is real footage of mout rain expeditions to Everest.. most are intense. Lots of climbing deaths and you watch the teams process that while still having to climb. It’s truly sobering inspiring stuff. 🫡
Excellent topic and presentation. kudos.
wow! What a story. And once again, the achievement is not reaching the summit but rather coming back alive after reaching it.
For the armchair mountaineer, a satisfying scare.
Thanks for another great video
Another nice video Midnight.
Morbid does a lot of research for these videos.
You are good at this.
Thanks so much!
Very interesting to learn that “K1”, which appears to be a very tall, demanding, and technical mountain seemingly is ascended only on very, very rare occasions, yet “K2” - also a very tall, demanding, technical mountain - is ascended somewhat frequently.
Is this just because Nepal and China are more welcoming nations than Pakistan? I have no idea; only guessing.
You do really good work on your videos.
Thank you so much!
They should have used the “clane technique” for the final summit push.
Or as it was once called “wax on, wack off” technique.
This climbing style is a variation of the fukawee style of mountaineering.
what a nightmare of a solo decent that must have been
More most excellent content !
Hiding from wind is key.
I'm hooked. Also, when you say the height in meters, and on the screen show the elevation in feet it is nice. Also PLEASE describe on the screen how high in miles. Beside the foot elevation. Would be awesome. IE: K2 is 5.35 miles high.
most americans know a mile is 5280 feet so it would be redundant.
I am an American who wants to be more “fluent” in metric and also appreciate both sets of units.
@@ripwednesdayadamsI would guess that extremely few Americans know how many feet there are in a mile!
Mountains are usually talked about in either km's or feet, so miles would be like a third wheel IMO.
Doing what they loved.
that voice though
So this is pretty much one of the mountains with the least number successful summits? That says a lot about its obscure difficulty, I was surprised to hear there were camps in the mountain because I was certain there was nothing over there since it's so difficult unnoticed no one bothers with it.
Camps are what is set up by individual expeditions. They are permanent sites on well traveled routes but each major expedition sets up waypoints along the way for people to acclimatize and support people to stay.

@@maureenoh2 oh well, I thought there were only permanent/periodic camps like the ones you find on everest or k2, didn't know there were just provisory camps for one expedition alone. Thanks for the information.
No one else stepped up and said they want to be first? Yet there's waiting lines on Everest?
Yeah... adventurous spirits, eh? ;o)
I couldn't even imagine!?.
How wild to know that you are the only human being to have ever done something so grand.
This Mountain is a legend. Just like the south face of Lhotse
I really appreciate your videos. And I would be more than happy if you stretched them out a little longer. :)
Your voice is so calming to listen you. I'm totally hooked on your channel only because can listen to your magical voice ❤
You might enjoy the voice of the guy at Geology Hub
Impresionante, Masherbrum, Junto a Gasherbrum IV son dos de las montañas más difíciles de escalar de la Tierra
BRUTAL
I wish you'd attach little on-screen text labels to the photos, just so we know what each is.
Hukt on foniks werkt fore mee! 🎧🤓💥💯💥
Well that's another way to get down!
I miss how loud this intro used to be...
Bring it back!!!
Przemysław Nowicki is pronounced like Pshemiswav Knovicky just fyi
I tried my best lol but now I know for next time thanks!
@@MorbidMidnight Its an art form pronouncing polish names lol
Who cares 🤷
I usually care about that sort of stuff and thought the creater of the vid might as well.@@principecaprincipeca2243
Thanks Voy-Check Yank-ov-ski
wow. thats crazy
fuuuk yah! another dope video
I know all of these pics are supposed to be of K1 at different angles, but don't they all look like completely different mountains to you?
Two, or even a few more, people losing their lives anywhere, is not a "disaster", but a tragedy. Nevertheless, I admire your work, and encourage you to keep at it, well done!
Bravo on the pronunciation of those names, Bruh!
That sheer face does look alot like the Eiger
Are you deliberately trying to put people to sleep?
I call it darwin
I’ve climbed K2. It wasn’t as bad as it’s been made out to be.
I’m huge though.
I climbed K19 back in the day
So are the two dead chaps still on the mountain?
Good question. I don't think he mentioned if the bodies were recovered after the team had gotten back to base camp.
Probs been blown off the mountain or buried in ice/snow by now.
Nobody would recover those from that part of the mountain, that’s basically almost never climbed. Guy almost died descending from there, who’s gonna risk going back for 2 bodies?
Mentioning Tango Towers and K1 at the same time makes my thoughts go to Rolf Bae.
He did everything right, but still he had 0 chance.
(Ok maybe he should have descent and not stand an wait for Lars and Cecilia.)
But dang, he was probably the best climber on that mountain that night and the only one that perished who did everything by the book and had the needed gear to survive even without the fixed ropes, but was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The others. They could have made it if they were not so fixed on the fixed ropes
Despite the poor sherpas that were made to go and save the Koreans, who messed up themselves 🫤
Imagine looking your newborn baby in the eyes and having the audacity to name him Prezemyslaw
Name him Creamyslaw
If that were your father's name it would seem perfectly natural.
Imagine being born Polish and not immediately finding a rope and a tree
**is part Polish**
Never repeated???? Hell I rode my bike up that route.
Skip to 12:28! The rest is nonessential nonsense
Not a bad way to go.
Aww gee, you actually mean to say this mountain is harder to summit than the Swiss Matterhorn and Mount Whitney in the California Sierras? Those are pushovers next to THIS one.
Why risk K1 when you can be shepherded up Everest?
I love algorithms ❤
Difficulty?...North face of Devil's Thumb Alaska.
All mountains are survivable by staying away from them 😉
I respect mountaineers,i can't climb a ladder without worrying about my life
I climbed a fence once. Solo. No ropes. And in winter.
I fell on the descent and had to miss school the next day.
@@nickreynolds8391 🤣🤣🤣 imagine being 15k ft!
@@martinkirugi254 Seriously, I can't even imagine. I can't even imagine climbing the 14Kers we have here in the US, much less the behemoths in the Himalayas that get up over 25K feet.
These mountains fascinate me...but I can confidently say that you'll never find me on one of those. I'm not good with heights, so I think that pretty much rules me out of mountain climbing.
@@nickreynolds8391 same case here. Heights frighten me too so mountain climbing is not my thing but I love seeing documentaries about them. The highest thing I have climbed is a hill in my hometown.
F da algorithm!🎉😂
Grandmothers and double amputees have climbed to the summit of Everest. Try to climb K1 and prove your worth.
It all depends on the route.
There are still at least two routes up Everest that have never been conquered.
You can take the train to the top of the Eiger-
They’ll even stop and let you clip on a safety line and lean out for a stupid selfie…
Over in Peru,
Mount Chimborazo's summit is approximately 2,100 meters (6,890 feet) farther from the Earth's center than Everest's summit,
despite being almost 2,600 meters
(8,530 feet) lower in elevation.
Thus,it is that much closer to space,
as well.
This is due to the bulge in the Earth that actually places Chimborazo’s summit above the peak of Everest.
It’s pretty funny to me that all those people going up Everest mistakenly believe that they are climbing to the highest spot on Earth.
How many of them have ever even heard of
Chimborazo?
@@j.griffin -- Cool! I never new those things!
“Climbed”
By which you mean moved their legs forward, and sometimes not even that by themselves.
@@j.griffinI’m not sure if you know this, but because we’re ants living on earth’s skin, we don’t measure mountain height in distance from earth’s core, we measure it in distance from sea level (the surface of the skin)
That’s a cute little sciencey nerd fact but it means absolutely nothing to mountaineering, since you’re not starting your journey from the core of the earth. The height to the skin surface below Chimborazo is lesser than the height to the skin surface below Everest. That’s what we determine peaks from.
But yes, technically Chimborazo is the “roof of the world” if you were surveying as an alien
Yay!!! 💕
Weirdest comment section ever, also.
Cannot stand the supposed eerie background frequencies along with the voiceover. Not necessary, the story is enough with out the horrid background noise.
Someone got scared and shid and pissed their wittle panties
I have no words. Except for why! You couldn't find anything better to do with your life. Smh
Comment
Second
40 minutes to long!
Well look here! More proof of my narrative that really, outside of the baseball field and the singles bar, confidence and optimism are actually super dumb. Although it's less romantic, fear and negativity are much more useful. If you want to put your "look how brave and fearless I am" shit in my face, all I ask is that no one cries if I laugh when you die in a completely needless and avoidable way😉
I want to like this guys videos, but he talks like he's half asleep or stoned..Not as annoying as that Critikal guy, but close
It’s because it’s about loss of life disasters over spooky music. What do you want him to talk like, a game show host?
I like your content but the foreground music is annoying as f.
It would be pretty cool if the words were pronounced correctly
Make your own videos then, master linguist
It was more than just a tad aggravating to repeatedly hear the narrator say "rout" when the correct word was "route".
Oddly, both pronunciations are used by climbers - I mean a climber will use one or the other in certain cases. I can't explain the exact reason but if you climb long enough it kind of seeps in.
