So in order to climb Mt. Everest, you have to be prepared not only to walk past dead bodies, but also to leave a few live ones behind. Sounds like mountain climbing is cold in more ways than one.
Sherpas are there to risk their lives for greedy westerners who want to reach the top of Mt Everest. And yet westerners brag reaching the top like they did everything, like they did not had any assist.
Green Boots actually disappeared from his cave. And no one knows what happened to his body. Probably Chinese people removed his body when they where removing also other corpses from Everest. But of course some ghost/zombie stories exists about Everest corpses.
Man, how depressing. Can you imagine either dying yourself in a rescue attempt, or being forced to leave someone to die who is weakly begging for help?
My wife weighs 320 lbs. So I climb Mt Everest on a regular basis; occasionally, if she feels kinky, she puts on her green boots. That's when it really gets real!
the fatality rate for everest climbers is about 6.5% the fatality rate for astronauts is anywhere from 1% to 4% depending on who you ask and what counts as an astronaut death it is literally more dangerous to climb mt everest than to go to space
Hoàng Trần Minh more people die as a result of car crashes anyways. It’s less likely for any average person to die climbing a mountain, not unless you’re not the average person living in a city.
Hoàng Trần Minh to be fair. They often put much more money into developing safe ways to go into space. If somebody had the money and dedication to develop better safety mechanisms as well as keep novices from trying to climb it would probably be lower cause I bet a notable amount of climbers don't spend the same amount of time preparing and training as the astronauts do
"Green Boots" is no longer in that cave on Everest. In fact, his body has been missing since 2014. Most likely pushed by other climbers off the cliff, in respect of the deceased climber. I mean, it's been 4 years since this happened..
He's the more famous one that has gone missing. Bodies have randomly gone missing over time and it's believed they are being given a climber's burial (buried under a pile of rocks) in an effort to make the mountain more appealing.
I agree and disagree at the same time. They should be left to remind people but, at the same time, they should have the respect we normally give to the dead by not being left on display and used as landmarks.
Its kinda what happened to Bear Grylls. His friend Rob Hall died on Everest in '96. When Bear climbed everest in '98 he saw Rob's body perfectly preserved, and he paid his respects.
@@mattyicicles1608 The weather can change so fast up there, plus the fact that at the altitude of the Death Zone you breath 30% of the oxygen we breath normally (level) its hard to not encounter potentially dangerous situations.

Just a little comment on the 1996 Everest disaster, most of the deaths were actually when they were returning from the summit (having summited earlier that day) when a brutal storm began
There was a crazy slovenian Davo Karničar who sucessfully skied down from the summit of Mt. Everest and a japanese man Yuichiro Miura who climbed Mt. Everest at the age of 80. Respect.
Some believe that due to the high number of fatalities that Everest is haunted. Climbers have reportedly radioed in to their base camps saying that they see other climbers standing in front of them wearing old gear before the radio cuts out and they are never seen again. Others believe that some ghosts are helpful, encouraging the climbers to make it to the top while others, seemingly jealous, attempt to scare climbers right off the mountain
@@mcknightmom4 Google up Sherpa people. They're indigenous people native to mountainous regions. They often act as guides, leading mountain climbers to the top of the Everest. Having spent their entire lives in the Himalayas, they can withstand extreme cold weather and are expert in mountain climbing.

@@lucialuppi5402 I remember him. He didn't think at that moment. I still beleive that having the ability to weild out fire is still better than having none. Haha
Power in fire bending comes from the breath. You can't fire bend properly if you can barely breathe. Even if you had oxygen tanks you'd have to make a choice. Either risk burning through your oxygen supply and die a slow asphyxiating death or preserve oxygen and risk freezing to death. Either way, firebending just prolongs the inevitable.

You forget to mention the role that Summit Fever often plays in deaths on Mount Everest. When people get close, they often become overcome with something called "Summit Fever" which causes them to desire reaching the top at all costs. This leads to some climbers taking unnecessary risks, and leads to others abandoning the injured fellow-climbers to die rather than abandon the summit and attempt to rescue them.
Some people say George Mallory and Andrew Irvine did actually reach the summit, which would of made them the 1st. And Mallory slipped on a dangerous slope on his way down, tried to steady his fall down with his ice axe, but failed due to the axe striking a rock and bouncing off, hitting his skull. This left Irvine on his own and most probably ran out of oxygen and died a slow and painful death. The thing is, only one climber saw them the previous day, and at that stage they were nearing the summit. Additionally, they carried a small camera with them and both said if they would reach the summit they would properly document it. Also, George said he would place a photo of his loved one on the summit. Neither the camera or the photo has ever been found, yet as Mallory was one of the best climbers there has ever been, people do really believe he was the first one, 30yrs before Hillary and Norgay were recorded to summit.
And ironically, Mallory's brother was no other than Air Chief Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory who was one of the men who lead the RAF to victory in the Battle of Britain. Trafford Leigh-Mallory would later die in 1944 travelling over the alps in a Avro York transport plane due to very poor weather. So both brothers died on the mountains.
@@jakenothanks307 there are mountains in South America whose summits are a greater distance from the centre of the earth. But this is due to fact the earth is not perfectly spherical but slightly squashed sphere that bulges at the equator
Michael Ciotta no its that if u want to climb it dont be an idiot and take enough oxygen and satellite communication systems... also they need to get some PJs (parajumpers/rescuemen) there
It was considerate of green boots to choose a fluoro color. That hi-vis color makes it so much easier navigating up and down Everest when visibility is poor. And also his boots are pointing towards the summit so you know exactly which direction to take.
@@Shadowschannel1 It wasn't an undertale reference, he was saying that these people who died once had hope and courage, but unfortunately, never met their goal.
Mt. Everest was scaled (conquered if you will), many times over, at a cost of many lives and victories, now let the mountain rest in peace, with the souls she claimed.
That'll never happen. There's always some 35 year old seeking meaning in their life and trying to do something they're not capable of doing. It's honestly pathetic, and I feel sorry for their families.
I thought it was Hannelore Schmatz, but sources I've seen indicate her body is the one in an odd sitting position, like she was leaning up against a snowbank that melted after she passed. I don't know that the one at 0:56 has been identified. The others I recognized, tho.
Omg I love this! I'm curious about these kind of story and love hearing about them rather than reading. But most of the youtube channels who tells story like this has a scary vibes. It makes me anxious like oh god I want to watch but I'm scared yknow? Glad I found this channel
I hope some people leave things like flowers or things out of respect. It’s so cold I’m sure they’d be preserved. Or fake flowers, just in case. Whichever. But still out of the respect & honor for the dead. 🙏🏻💐🕊🕯
This reminded me of ‘Into Thin Air’ about the 1996 Everest disaster where the madness mountain and adventure expedition members had left Beck Weathers and Yasuko Namba but Beck Weathers was in a coma like state and had woke up and made his way down to Camp IV blind and confused. Beck made it down alive and he did get some stuff amputated. Anyways read the book and watch the movie.
When you first think about this, it’s like “Huh?” Why can’t you drag them down the mountain?” Then you think a little more and realize you’re in one of the most remote area imaginable. There’s miles of jagged, ice covered terrain all around you. You’re higher up than some passenger planes fly. The weather could take a slight turn and in the process, end your life. Getting YOURSELF to safety is going to require every ounce of effort you have. And it starts to make a little more sense...

jake pauls next video: CLIMBED MT EVEREST *ALMOST DIED* (FOUND A DEAD BODY) GONE SEXUAL ( WE GOT ARRESTED )
shark raptor *logan Paul
i didnt even remember that name until you mentioned it here.
Accurate
Necrophilia?
Let’s cut a part, ‘(FOUND A DEAD BODY) GONE SEXUAL’. Hmmm. :thonking:
Hi man
Pls make a video about panzer series
Mountaineers: *sees dead bodies*
Also the mountaineers: Yup, let's continue, its definitely a good idea to continue further to certain doom
Hole in the skull probably due to his ice pick/axe falling and hitting on him as he fell? Hmmm this sounds fishy af
Has a slight smell of Hilary Clinton to it :D
And the other guy was never found again
This is the stupidest comment I have seen today.
Accidents happen. And they happen a lot on Everest.
@@cornovii3012 haha yes hillary clinton because a fucking mountain has everything to do with American politics haha yes you girl!!
Some people say George Mallory and Andrew Irvine did actually reach the summit, which would of made them the 1st. And Mallory slipped on a dangerous slope on his way down, tried to steady his fall down with his ice axe, but failed due to the axe striking a rock and bouncing off, hitting his skull. This left Irvine on his own and most probably ran out of oxygen and died a slow and painful death. The thing is, only one climber saw them the previous day, and at that stage they were nearing the summit. Additionally, they carried a small camera with them and both said if they would reach the summit they would properly document it. Also, George said he would place a photo of his loved one on the summit. Neither the camera or the photo has ever been found, yet as Mallory was one of the best climbers there has ever been, people do really believe he was the first one, 30yrs before Hillary and Norgay were recorded to summit.
And ironically, Mallory's brother was no other than Air Chief Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory who was one of the men who lead the RAF to victory in the Battle of Britain. Trafford Leigh-Mallory would later die in 1944 travelling over the alps in a Avro York transport plane due to very poor weather. So both brothers died on the mountains.
I feel a 4 hour long binge of Everest videos coming on
When you *die climbing mt everest and then realize mount Everest isn't the tallest mountain from base to peak*
It's not about climbing the farthest it's about being at the highest point of the earth
@@jakenothanks307 there are mountains in South America whose summits are a greater distance from the centre of the earth. But this is due to fact the earth is not perfectly spherical but slightly squashed sphere that bulges at the equator
JOSEJOSESITO have fun climbing underwater
Dan Sneyd The earth is a geoid look it up
@@TotoRina4343 It's an oblate sphereoid.
Moral of the story... Avoid climbing Mount Everest lmao.
Michael Ciotta no its that if u want to climb it dont be an idiot and take enough oxygen and satellite communication systems... also they need to get some PJs (parajumpers/rescuemen) there
*whoops I accidentally climbed mount everest*
@@spetsnazttv6724 then there will be dead paras..... No point in bringing the body's back anyway
Of the 1000s of things that can kill me, climbing Everest is not one.
It won't be just being pushed off Mount Everest will be
Do a video on General Douglas MacArthur!
Include his public heroic acts AND his disgraceful personal behavior.
Not even the warmest sweater can keep you warm.
Can a space suit?
@@cuphead8159 nope.
Critical Furries no they don’t, they were only ok on the moon because they reflect the suns heat. That and they landed at below peak surface temps
Critical Furries that’s why their visits are made of gold,,, :p
Critical Furries np brotha, someone taught me so I’m paying it forward.
I hope you enjoy your dinner!
It was considerate of green boots to choose a fluoro color. That hi-vis color makes it so much easier navigating up and down Everest when visibility is poor. And also his boots are pointing towards the summit so you know exactly which direction to take.
All of them dead bodies are once full of determination...
Exu They died trying.
Let them be a monument to mankind’s ambition
@@Shadowschannel1 undercringe? What? stfu
IHaveACake3 It doesn't matter how old something is.
@@Shadowschannel1 It wasn't an undertale reference, he was saying that these people who died once had hope and courage, but unfortunately, never met their goal.
Mt. Everest was scaled (conquered if you will), many times over, at a cost of many lives and victories, now let the mountain rest in peace, with the souls she claimed.
She wants more souls.
More Blood for the blood god
That'll never happen. There's always some 35 year old seeking meaning in their life and trying to do something they're not capable of doing. It's honestly pathetic, and I feel sorry for their families.
Its not a she

0:48 Green Boots
0:50 George Mallory
0:54 Francys Arsentiev
0:56 (?)
I thought it was Hannelore Schmatz, but sources I've seen indicate her body is the one in an odd sitting position, like she was leaning up against a snowbank that melted after she passed.
I don't know that the one at 0:56 has been identified. The others I recognized, tho.
*So MT Everest is just a big cemetery?*
NASA And the ESA more or less yeah
Nope, the term would be corpse field considering none are buried intentionally.
I just scratched "climb Mt. Everest" from my bucket list after having watched this video.
Nice video PLS bring the GERMAN BATTLESHIP BISMARK
Mount Everest=Dead bodies=Great content for Logan Paul
"And minus 30 temperature forced them to abandon the rescue."
Me, a Canadian walking to school in jeans and a parka in minus 35.
@悪Aiiko well the temperatur is 1 thing, the lack of oxygen is something else of a problem
@@Stale_Mahoney As is the amount of time exposed to the cold/lack of oxygen.
now add 8000 meter and lets see!!!
And add wind factor...
This reminded me of Lincoln Hall the person that got stranger on Mt. Everest for 36 hrs and survived
Read about Siachin the highest battle ground in the world, more soldiers die due to frostbite than war.
"Why do you want to climb Everest?"
"Because I'm an idiot!"
No, because I want to prove my mountaineering skills to the world by scaling the tallest mountain.
@@e.r.1702 and have a huge chance die a slow and painful death that i could've avoid.
Oh, and want to have trauma seeing dead bodies and people begging to be saved.
sofer The real one I don’t think corpses really scare many people I think it’s more the story behind them
@@e.r.1702 "prove my mountaineering skills to the world" the world doesnt care about someone doing something thats already been done a bunch before
If I'm not mistaken the locals refer to a section of it as rainbow valley because of all the colorfully dressed dead climbers
I would actually prefer to die this way. If I had cancer and I had a set amount of time before I die I would climb Mt. Everest at my last moments.
You would be too weak from cancer bud
@@cghul7315 Well, that's the point...
@@cghul7315 would try atleast
And lets say you made it to the top, would you die at the top?
@@ic1628 Good point, *what if they're all dead?*
Imagine slowing freezing to death alone on a mountain and being remembered by the color of your boots
"Gotta reach for the top, get on the mountain!" -Midnight riders (Left 4 Dead 2)
every lady's crazy when her daddys not around
Mount Everest is probably the best resting place for a body, i know if I die I would love my resting place to be on the highest point on earth
RIP Commenter who isn't everywhere

I have a feeling your being sarcastic but then again I'm still trying to be everywhere ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@Perifroog I mean you're trying to but competition is tough but anime girls increase your likes by 1000% so you in the right track ;)

Thanks, your motivation really helps!
Forever need a jacket
Omg I love this! I'm curious about these kind of story and love hearing about them rather than reading. But most of the youtube channels who tells story like this has a scary vibes. It makes me anxious like oh god I want to watch but I'm scared yknow? Glad I found this channel
Archeologists centuries from now are gonna wet themselves when they discover Everest
My god imagine having to leave a guy in a cave to die because he’s too far gone... and having to just continue... awful
These Bodies turned Landmarks are straight up Sad, Fascinating and Disturbing at the same time. R.I.P to all of them
I hope some people leave things like flowers or things out of respect.
It’s so cold I’m sure they’d be preserved. Or fake flowers, just in case. Whichever. But still out of the respect & honor for the dead. 🙏🏻💐🕊🕯
I would say snow globes of Mount Everest.
I want a snow globe of Mount Everest with the small, tiny handmade dead corpses laid along it
*handmade dead corpses with snow-globes of Mount Everest on them with tiny specks for bodies*
And the process continues.
This reminded me of ‘Into Thin Air’ about the 1996 Everest disaster where the madness mountain and adventure expedition members had left Beck Weathers and Yasuko Namba but Beck Weathers was in a coma like state and had woke up and made his way down to Camp IV blind and confused. Beck made it down alive and he did get some stuff amputated. Anyways read the book and watch the movie.
Green boots: flips the snow to the cold side.
Mountaineers:
The thought of Mount Everest gives me *chills* down my spine every time
Nein , just stop
that is why *Ford Everest* was made to climb mt everest
Me: watching TH-cam at 1:25am and getting this recommendation
Also me: “that sounds interesting”
how to kill someone you hate? Give him a free ticket to climb Everest ! :D
Vasiliou Vasiliou there a 50 50 chance they might come back.
@@bre8549 if they have no mountaineering experience the chance is not that good

When you first think about this, it’s like “Huh?” Why can’t you drag them down the mountain?”
Then you think a little more and realize you’re in one of the most remote area imaginable. There’s miles of jagged, ice covered terrain all around you. You’re higher up than some passenger planes fly. The weather could take a slight turn and in the process, end your life. Getting YOURSELF to safety is going to require every ounce of effort you have.
And it starts to make a little more sense...
Sometimes I like my own comment to get things started.
