I've only seen one other youtuber cover this disaster so I'm gonna enjoy hearing you cover it. Also, just like the series you did on the 1996 Everest disaster, I really like that you put focus on the Sherpas as well. Growing up, you always know Sherpas are part of Everest and surrounding mountain climbing, but I always thought they were porters. So it's been very enlightening as someone who is not really clued into the mountaineering scene to learn more about their importance and why they are so pivotal to climbers in this area. it's taught me that they are not just locals working as porters, but how they are biologically adapted to live in these extreme conditions and have helped me grow a much larger respect for what they do in these expeditions, even or especially when things go wrong. I think mainstream coverage of these types of stories have really done laymen like me a disservice by downplaying their importance, so I'm really happy for the extra information and perspective you bring by making sure their contributions get purposefully mentioned.
I’m still trying to wrap my brain about sending a poor man dead on his feet with appendicitis on the long hike back and refusing to let another in your tent in horrendous weather who is crawling round on the floor in his sleeping bag with hypothermia! Jesus 😢
@@justkittensbeingkittens5892 Like if I'm halfway up a mountain and bump into someone who decided to veer off the nature loop this morning with half a Dasani and street shoes, I give them what they need, and then give them an earful about it. I'm no mountaineer, just a garden variety outdoorsman, so I understand the stresses are different, but also these people chose to put themselves in this situation. You shouldn't recreationally be doing things that cause you to abandon your empathy
@will.green. Hey there, commenting just to politely note that garden variety means something like non-professional/amateur, so he wasn't pretending to be something he's not (if this word was the reason you wrote your comment 😊). In any case, OP is just empathising with the people in the story, based on his own experience of being a caring human in the outdoors 😊 Have a great day and if you are a mountaineer yourself or a any other nature enjoyer: have fun on your next adventure ! 😊
I'm sorry to hear about your recent loss and glad virtual therapy has helped you. That being said Better Help is not a good option to be promoting. They have faced lawsuits for selling customers' personal, HIPAA-protected information which is a HUGE no-no in the therapy profession, and I don't think online platforms like that vet or pay their therapists well either. I'd advise you to look into it more and reconsider them as a sponsor.
I take each sponsorship very seriously and I do look into each sponsor I work with. I don't take sponsorships lightly and have turned down way more than I've accepted because I don't endorse the product or it's not a good fit with the channel. I looked into BetterHelp before I accepted the sponsorship and learned that they have addressed and corrected the issues that people were concerned with. The channel Cinema Therapy stopped promoting BetterHelp when the issues arose in 2023, but now have resumed their sponsorship after working closely with the company. They have explained in detail, what the issues were, how they were corrected and some of the misinformation that is out there about BetterHelp: www.reddit.com/r/cinema_therapy/comments/1dpriql/addressing_the_betterhelp_concerns_headon_deep/ I am a huge supporter of online therapy and will continue to support it via the BetterHelp sponsorship. BetterHelp may not be for you, but it is a good fit for a lot of people.
Really glad to hear you've done such extensive research before accepting sponsorship - I too was concerned about the BetterHelp link, but am reassured by this comment.
@@adventuresgonewrong Sorry to hear about your dad. I’m glad I don’t have a TH-cam channel bc I know this particular sponsorship is controversial. I respect your decision! Therapy is hard to get in a lot of places and the world needs more of these new models for helping people. I love your channel!
Wilko comes across as a guy who would drive past car crash telling the injured driver ‘you shouldn’t be driving if you aren’t a good driver’ and then tell them to make their own way to the hospital 🤦 There is tough love, and there is clear lack of camaraderie
I think the hardest thing about these stories are listening to the introductions and wondering if this is a survivor or not. It's kinda heartbreaking to see these young, good-looking, strong people knowing many are no longer alive. You see these pictures full of life, excitement and hope. It seems so unfathomable that within days they will be dead. Also I can't help but feel like some higher power kept telling them to stop and go home and they didn't listen. It's a good reminder of the power of nature and pride must come second to listening to what you're being told. During your intros I really listen to every word to see if you say things that will give some hints. Like using past tense or "if". Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. You really have a gift for story telling and keep me on the edge of my seat. A cliffhanger if you will. Can't wait to hear the rest of the story. May God bring peace to the families of the ones that didn't come home.
It's amazing how much research you put into your videos to ensure that viewers are genuinely engaged and learn something with each story you tell. Keep it up, you truly are great at what you're doing 😊
Wilco sounds like a delightful fellah. Also, sarcasm aside, Pemba's story is incredible and heroic, and barely touched by the media following the disaster.
@@spiritmatter1553 Glaciers are retreating world wide, and they are finding things like ancient fire hardened spear shafts, and bows, coming out of the ice in near perfect condition. If they are not collected the exposure destroys them within a few years.
I've heard several versions of this tragedy, but you've given the most thorough coverage by far. Thanks for going to the trouble of consulting multiple sources and telling us much more about the sherpa and guides who took part.
As a geologist I would love to visit in K2. However, I also want to live so I consider better to stay away. Add. Would it be possible to cover one volcano eruption? It wasn't adventure as such but all gone wrong... in 2019 Royal Caribian took people to volcanic island (White island) in New Zealand. 22 people killed and many got beyond horrible burns when "calm" volcano "woke up". I personally feel angry, visitors weren't experts and they had all the reasons to believe a cruise company has made sure island is safe.
I was thinking of doing that one even though it's gotten quite a bit of exposure. I think it's a great one to learn from because the tourists did put their trust in the tour operators.
@@coryjohnson2486a fellow scientist, hi ! Where do you get that statement ? Is it because your sense of danger comes from the infinitely small vs extremly tall ? 🤔
As a fellow swede I've both read Fredriks book about the event and seen some interviews with him, and he's a real hero. You can see in his eyes when he talked about this years later that it was so traumatic for him 😢 I don't know what he's up to nowadays but I sincerely hope that he's been able to overcome the trauma. He seems like an amazingly empathetic person
They almost always die on the descent. Being tired and cold and deprived of oxygen over many hours make everything harder. But you have to be a bit crazy to think it's a good idea!
I love the Documentary, The Killer Summit. I’ve watched it many times. I don’t know why I’m so drawn to watching tragedies, learning about the people, seeing the live footage… I’m just absolutely enthralled by it. The sadness, the human spirit, the strength of these incredible mountaineers, it’s all captivating. I was particularly touched by Ger McDonnell’s story. Watching footage of him before the impending doom, learning about how he was the kind of man who would try to help a fellow climber even when it put his life in danger. He was vastly different than his Nordic teammate and friend Wilco, who comes off as such an arrogant and selfish man.
Mt Everest and K2 just keep hammering home just how important a known turn around time is. Condolences on your dad and i hope your grief continues to heal.
If every climber or tour guide just spent ¼ of what tourists---sorry EXPLORERS.... pay( to shit & sleep& die on the worlds tallest peaks) into a cleanup project, perhaps K2& Everest wouldnt also be the highest garbage dump along with thousands of frozen turds and hundreds of dead humans that are just lying around or under a caverock. Meanwhile, the "explorers" walk RIGHT BY on a line of rope where somehow, at times, 200 idiots are all holding the SAME ROPE!!! Insanity. That's not CLIMBING. it's not mountaineering: that's general admission at a concert. Or lining up for boxing day sales. I know the country needs the money but if they organised it with good standatds maybe they can take control of this tourism instead of all the foreigners running 260,Large per person rackets with no refunds for cancelation, while all the locals who do all the carrying, saving are treated like servants in their own nation. I read there WAS a goal to do it and many locals and tourists are volunteering to do it so I can only hope now that its been done by so many it could lead REAL EXPLORERS to find other mountains that dont have line-ups like a football game. When I see what do to everywhere I realise our civilization is the least cultured. I respect travel. I did it alone at 18. But I didnt expokit the places. This is not as crazy as these new 8000 person cruises, giant floating amusement parks. I wonder what kind of adventure those passengers would get if they got the Costa Concordia issue out in the extreme deep like a bomb or 4 the ship sinking in 15 minutes! Honestly, I would like to see that cruise disaster covered because cruising is a billion $$ industry. I like the storytelling style of this channel. BTW. That was a tangent, sorry!!
Once again you did an excellent job of highlighting some of the events that led to the ultimate disaster! When does part 2 come out? Also, somewhere along the way you asked if "we" liked longer videos. I for one do! Thanks again and take care
As an indoor climber that takes the safety regulations fairly serious, i cannot imagine for any earthly reason wanting to do anything with that team. the second people didn’t have enough equipment I would’ve been seriously considering how/if I could make it down alone/refusing to leave the camp.
You do a really good job respectfully handling a topic that is sometimes mined for shock value, and explaining complex situations in a way most people can easily understand, good job 👏 👏👏
I have bad anxiety and when I find a video I connect with (for whatever reason) I end up playing it on repeat. Your videos on the 1996 Everest disaster are currently on repeat for me. Thank you for all you do and for producing such good content.❤
@@lynettemccavery7190 I am the exact same, currently rewatching the 1996 disaster and this one, even thought I usually don't watch content longer than 30 mins!
I really enjoy how you give every person involved their time and story, even the sherpas and those who are working and not just summiting, it really is important to remember they're people as well and too many people forget to include them when they talk about the tragedies that occus in mountaineering
Thank you for creating such riveting content. It’s obvious that you do a ton of research and that you are really diligent about presenting the facts and details. I love your channel and I can’t wait to watch Part 2! Wishing you all the best from Texas USA. Thanks again for all you do, have a great weekend.
Always love your content - you really know how to tell a story. Biggest lessons I took out of part 1: when people are motivated by ego and don't 'listen to the mountain' or to those who have gone before, when they don't have respect for nature or humility, things invariably go badly.
My favorite channel by far. The stories are well-researched, I love the fact-focused narration (with an occasional joke to lighten the mood :) ) and each video is just the right length. In all my years floating around you tube this is the only time I've actually subscribed to a channel, and the only one I have ever commented on. :) . And very sorry for your loss-it's never easy to lose a loved one.
I find this a very interesting story. That guy said it was “such a beautiful day, how could anyone die on such a beautiful day”. You do such a great job researching your videos. I have seen several documentaries and Videos on this climb. You have information for me.
So glad to see a new video out on your channel! Great job on Part 1! Can’t wait for Part 2. Like you I also enjoyed the book, “Buried in the Sky.” Helped me appreciate the Sherpas’ perspectives of mountain climbing.
I literally laughed out loud when you said that Wilco called the meteorologist and yelled at him for making an incorrect forecast for the mountain. Wilco sounds completely unhinged.
Love your content great work on filling in the gaps left by others I can’t watch any of your videos without learning something new I really appreciate the extra effort you put into finding every detail of the story - just wish you put out more videos
I just discovered your channel. Great video. I have heard this story already, but you brought these “characters “ to life for me. I’m heading right over to part 2
This summit attempt sounds like a schooltrip with 4thgraders with nobody listening and everbody jumping around as he likes….half of the class didn’t have the demanded equipment, others get sick and very few are really having fun….
4:07 - correction : first person to climb all 14 8000ers isn’t Ed Viesturs but Reinhold. First American to climb 14 x 8000 is ED. Great video though - glad to have Sherpas have their say in the narrative for once 💯
Yaaaaay! Thank you so much excited to watch part 2. My emotions always get going on this one 😣 especially with all the shortcuts taken that have caused death. I def feel Pemba about the rope, I’d be pissed too. Also, the part about them trusting the meteorologist again after that person got it wrong the first time 😅
My condolences to you for your loss. It's always good to have some kind of support system to help you through difficult times. And thanks for another awesome video. Looking forward to pt.2
I enjoy your videos because you provide an in-depth explanation of human nature and how people often allow their thinking to become obscured by desires for fame and fortune. I think your understanding and compassion comes from your personal struggles. Thank you for sharing your personal stories and for the in-depth understanding you provide as to why so many big adventures get off track or go horribly wrong.
Why would anyone make a man with appendicitis walk for about a week. That is so inhumane. I can't even begin to imagine the pain that man must have gone through. I'm glad he survived.
You're my go to listen when painting! I really love the respectful and well detailed stories, you do such a good job painting a picture with words i dont even usally watch the video
Watching this on repeat waiting for part 2, even though I watched the bbc documentary on this in the meantime, because you are the best! Every viewpoint considered, everyone’s story taken into account and no unnecessary deep voice acting to make it sound a horror story. It’s like listening to a friendly neighbour tell interesting stories while lounging around a camp fire surrounded by your beautiful dogs ❤
Yay!! I've missed your uploads! You left me hanging!!! 😂 I hate waiting for part 2!!! But I definitely will be! Love the fur babies in the background too! ❤️
While I'm glad that you're getting that sponsorship money, selling their user's incredibly sensitive information is not something I believe a company should get to come back from. And of course it is up to everyone to decide if they want to use this service or not, bur I do think it is important that they are informed before they make that decision. So if you are thinking of using the sponsor of today, pls do your research beforehand.
excellent as always.....however, a fundamental error has never, to my knowledge, been mentioned. Climbers in one video called it a perfect day, warm clear and calm. But the unusually high temperatures were a time bomb for the serac. At 8000 meters, sunset freezes and contracts the warm ice within minutes - from 25 to -25 in 45 minutes - and is a well known danger....ask any Kumbu icefall doctor. Getting past the serac before this sudden destabilizing and perdictable risk is absolutely necessary. Descending under the serac shortly after sunset is inexcusably reckless
Great video! I’m by no means an expert on this incident but I’ve watched both documentaries (The Summit and K2 The Killer Summit) in the past and you’ve covered things that even they didn’t and I feel like I’ve learned so much more about the individual climbers involved. Can’t wait for part 2! 👏
I'm sorry for your father's passing. I, too, have grieved my father for the past few years. Dads are so special to us girls/ladies when a good relationship exists. So many things remind me of him. I try to be more grateful for these moments than sad, but there is healing in the sadness too. We only have one life and must cherish time with our loved ones while they are here.
This is such a different approach to these events than I've heard before. Fascinating! I really respect your research and perspective for this tragedy.
I will never understand the desire these people have to climb these deadly peaks. All the trash and sewage and nights without sleep and endless days in close quarters... Sounds like literal hell.
Yayyy!! My favourite narrator making another fabulous video about one of the most interesting things about our planet, our mountains and the people who put in hundreds of thousands of dollars with a view ( pun intended ) to climb up into dangerous 8,000 metre high mountains in the pursuit of the summit. I ❤ love adventures like this, from the safety of my home, I find myself absolutely engrossed biting my lips in fear and excitement. Am really pleased with this channels content, and finally, a huge shoutout to the narrator, I could listen to her for hours at a time!❤. I really mean it, not many people can do topics like this, without boring me stupid, you are fabulous, absolutely fabulous ❤🩷🩷
There are a lot of things mentioned here that I've never heard in any of the other documentaries about this event. This video is very well researched and told. A long time ago I let an inexperienced climber shelter in my tent once, he had lied his way onto an expedition, it just seemed easier to say "you can come in and warm up with some tea but only on the condition that you go down as soon as the weather breaks" They got shelter and sleep in relative warmth and we had one less liability on the hill the next morning plus I couldn't have lived with the guilt of sending him away as others did that same night.
I’m not sure what attracts me to this story, I live on the east coast! And I am a scuba diver, not a mountain climber. I’m impressed with your storytelling
Excellent storytelling! Of course the two puppers were a lovely bonus ❤. In my opinion when you're young you can do whatever you want with your life, but attempting to climb K2- that reclaims 1 life every 4 climbers- when you have a family it's incredibly selfish and despicable

Next one will be out soon!
I really enjoy how you give every person involved their time and story, even the sherpas and those who are working and not just summiting, it really is important to remember they're people as well and too many people forget to include them when they talk about the tragedies that occus in mountaineering
Thank you for creating such riveting content. It’s obvious that you do a ton of research and that you are really diligent about presenting the facts and details. I love your channel and I can’t wait to watch Part 2! Wishing you all the best from Texas USA. Thanks again for all you do, have a great weekend.
I love your mountain videos!! May your father rest in peace ❤️
Love hearing the background of the climbers, it really builds the story helps us see the motivations. ❤ been waiting for this video drop.
It's my favourite part of these stories.
Always love your content - you really know how to tell a story. Biggest lessons I took out of part 1: when people are motivated by ego and don't 'listen to the mountain' or to those who have gone before, when they don't have respect for nature or humility, things invariably go badly.
Could your dogs possibly look any more chilled out? 😍❤️ Another brilliant upload thank you so much 👏🏻
They are! I get them out for a good run before the filming so they’re not restless. 😅
Thanks for including the Sherpa and HAP perspective!
Armchair adventurer here. Love this channel! And the theme song slaps! Love it!
Safest place to be as an adventurer
Great storytelling! love how you're combining multiple perspectives.
I love watching your dogs in the background.
I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your father ❤️ I hope therapy goes well for you
Thanks so much.
“Hey guys, should we get insurance that covers helicopter rescues for our attempt to climb Savage Mountain?”
Everyone: *no*😂
Well the climbers got evacuated out, just not the help.
Next expedition: "Huh, it's weird that nobody applied for the cooking job this time, guess we'll just have live on candy bars and cold water 🤔"
Excellent video. These really are the best - well researched and brilliant narration.
Many thanks!
Finally got my husband hooked on your videos, too! Great research as always and love your quips. We are looking forward to part 2!
Way to go! 😅
I love your storytelling and watching your dogs sleep and move around in the background. Thanks for both.
Sorry to hear about your struggle. I miss my dad too. Good video, cute dogs!!
Thanks, hope you’re doing ok.
My favorite channel by far. The stories are well-researched, I love the fact-focused narration (with an occasional joke to lighten the mood :) ) and each video is just the right length. In all my years floating around you tube this is the only time I've actually subscribed to a channel, and the only one I have ever commented on. :) . And very sorry for your loss-it's never easy to lose a loved one.
Well thanks for taking the plunge to subscribe here, appreciate it!
Return of the Queen!!! I have been waiting for your “next” video for several weeks!!!!🎉
It was a long break but now you'll be seeing regular videos! Thanks for being patient.
Me too, I love this channel 🎉
I find this a very interesting story. That guy said it was “such a beautiful day, how could anyone die on such a beautiful day”. You do such a great job researching your videos. I have seen several documentaries and Videos on this climb. You have information for me.
I just love watching your videos. As soon as I see one pop up on my feed I drop whatever I’m watching and tune right into your stories.
Amazing, appreciate it!
1 in 4! I am amazed that anyone attempts it.
Crazy stats.
Thank you for all the work you do on these videos. 👍👍👍
I love the way you tell the story. I usually turn off most people who talk on youtube but your videos are different. thank you
So glad to see a new video out on your channel! Great job on Part 1! Can’t wait for Part 2. Like you I also enjoyed the book, “Buried in the Sky.” Helped me appreciate the Sherpas’ perspectives of mountain climbing.
Such a good book!
Your videos are always so amazing and so well done! Can’t wait for part 2
I literally laughed out loud when you said that Wilco called the meteorologist and yelled at him for making an incorrect forecast for the mountain. Wilco sounds completely unhinged.
This and your everest disaster videos are amazing and well detailed. Hard to believe Anatoli Boukreev climbed K2 without Oxygen.
Love your content great work on filling in the gaps left by others I can’t watch any of your videos without learning something new I really appreciate the extra effort you put into finding every detail of the story - just wish you put out more videos
Thanks so much. More regular videos will be coming out now,
I just discovered your channel. Great video. I have heard this story already, but you brought these “characters “ to life for me. I’m heading right over to part 2
Awesome, thanks so much!
This summit attempt sounds like a schooltrip with 4thgraders with nobody listening and everbody jumping around as he likes….half of the class didn’t have the demanded equipment, others get sick and very few are really having fun….
I lost my dad, too, two years ago. He was my rock. I feel your pain and send you love and healing. ❤️🩹
Thanks so much, same to you.
4:07 - correction : first person to climb all 14 8000ers isn’t Ed Viesturs but Reinhold. First American to climb 14 x 8000 is ED.
Great video though - glad to have Sherpas have their say in the narrative for once 💯
Ah shoot, I meant to say “First American to climb…”
Yaaaaay! Thank you so much excited to watch part 2. My emotions always get going on this one 😣 especially with all the shortcuts taken that have caused death. I def feel Pemba about the rope, I’d be pissed too. Also, the part about them trusting the meteorologist again after that person got it wrong the first time 😅
OMG - new video just before the weekend! Thank you - can’t wait to watch.
I’ll post my reaction afterwards as well.
Excited to hear your take on it!
So thrilled to see your video! Really enjoy your presentation.
I love your videos/stories! It feels so relaxing to watch
WOW ! Riveting presentation, waiting for part 2.
My condolences to you for your loss. It's always good to have some kind of support system to help you through difficult times. And thanks for another awesome video. Looking forward to pt.2
Thanks so much and thx for watching!
Excellent work with the technical bits!!
Just found your channel. I’m hooked, subbed. Been binging the videos. Your storytelling is clear, well researched, and compassionate.
Excellent work. Chock full of details I did not know about.
Glad to hear it!
I enjoy your videos because you provide an in-depth explanation of human nature and how people often allow their thinking to become obscured by desires for fame and fortune. I think your understanding and compassion comes from your personal struggles. Thank you for sharing your personal stories and for the in-depth understanding you provide as to why so many big adventures get off track or go horribly wrong.
Why would anyone make a man with appendicitis walk for about a week. That is so inhumane. I can't even begin to imagine the pain that man must have gone through. I'm glad he survived.
Excellent content as always
Hello again from the UK. Yours is always a notification I look forward to receiving. Thank you so much x
Yay! Thank you!
You're my go to listen when painting! I really love the respectful and well detailed stories, you do such a good job painting a picture with words i dont even usally watch the video
It's so good to see a new video from you! It's a good one! See you in Part 2!
Can’t wait for part 2! Thank you for the great coverage of these events
Thank you for your wonderful work, always. Seeing your videos makes my week and more ❤
Watching this on repeat waiting for part 2, even though I watched the bbc documentary on this in the meantime, because you are the best! Every viewpoint considered, everyone’s story taken into account and no unnecessary deep voice acting to make it sound a horror story. It’s like listening to a friendly neighbour tell interesting stories while lounging around a camp fire surrounded by your beautiful dogs ❤
Just finishing up part 2! Thanks for the support!
Yay!! I've missed your uploads! You left me hanging!!! 😂 I hate waiting for part 2!!! But I definitely will be! Love the fur babies in the background too! ❤️
Totally left you guys ganging, working on editing part 2 now so won’t be too long!
While I'm glad that you're getting that sponsorship money, selling their user's incredibly sensitive information is not something I believe a company should get to come back from. And of course it is up to everyone to decide if they want to use this service or not, bur I do think it is important that they are informed before they make that decision. So if you are thinking of using the sponsor of today, pls do your research beforehand.
I agree, everyone should do their research beforehand.
just about to say this!!!!
excellent as always.....however, a fundamental error has never, to my knowledge, been mentioned. Climbers in one video called it a perfect day, warm clear and calm. But the
unusually high temperatures were a time bomb for the serac. At 8000 meters, sunset freezes and contracts the warm ice within minutes - from 25 to -25 in 45 minutes - and is a well known danger....ask any Kumbu icefall doctor. Getting past the serac before this sudden destabilizing and perdictable risk is absolutely necessary. Descending under the serac shortly after sunset is inexcusably reckless
Great point and I think I mention that in Part 2.
Support this amazing woman by subbing to her, not one sponsor to annoy. Extremely well researched.
I also had losses, three this year..... get well on your time. Im very sad to hear you say this.
Thank you once again for your fascinating storytelling ❤❤❤
you back!!! you were missed.... now i have a few videos to catch up on.... so excited. thank you😊
I checked 2 days ago for a video because I thought I missed an upload. You have a gift ❤️
Great video! I’m by no means an expert on this incident but I’ve watched both documentaries (The Summit and K2 The Killer Summit) in the past and you’ve covered things that even they didn’t and I feel like I’ve learned so much more about the individual climbers involved. Can’t wait for part 2! 👏
Great video!! Looking forward to part 2 :)
Omg! Just noticed one of your dogs is asleep on its back! Lmao. That is awesome.
I'm sorry for your father's passing. I, too, have grieved my father for the past few years. Dads are so special to us girls/ladies when a good relationship exists. So many things remind me of him. I try to be more grateful for these moments than sad, but there is healing in the sadness too. We only have one life and must cherish time with our loved ones while they are here.
Thanks so much and well said. Sorry for your loss.
This is such a different approach to these events than I've heard before. Fascinating! I really respect your research and perspective for this tragedy.
Wow, so much info. First time I've heard an explanation of Cecelia Skoggs incident.
Another great episode!
You do a very good job on these - intelligently presented and factually described and to the point.
Came for the story, stayed for the napping dogs...
I will never understand the desire these people have to climb these deadly peaks. All the trash and sewage and nights without sleep and endless days in close quarters... Sounds like literal hell.
Yayyy!! My favourite narrator making another fabulous video about one of the most interesting things about our planet, our mountains and the people who put in hundreds of thousands of dollars with a view ( pun intended ) to climb up into dangerous 8,000 metre high mountains in the pursuit of the summit. I ❤ love adventures like this, from the safety of my home, I find myself absolutely engrossed biting my lips in fear and excitement. Am really pleased with this channels content, and finally, a huge shoutout to the narrator, I could listen to her for hours at a time!❤. I really mean it, not many people can do topics like this, without boring me stupid, you are fabulous, absolutely fabulous ❤🩷🩷
AAAAAAAAA I love when AGW uploads!!! Just in time for perfect breakfast listening!!
Love it!
There are a lot of things mentioned here that I've never heard in any of the other documentaries about this event. This video is very well researched and told.
A long time ago I let an inexperienced climber shelter in my tent once, he had lied his way onto an expedition, it just seemed easier to say "you can come in and warm up with some tea but only on the condition that you go down as soon as the weather breaks" They got shelter and sleep in relative warmth and we had one less liability on the hill the next morning plus I couldn't have lived with the guilt of sending him away as others did that same night.
I’m not sure what attracts me to this story, I live on the east coast! And I am a scuba diver, not a mountain climber. I’m impressed with your storytelling
I think most of us can relate, these stories just suck you in!
Excellent storytelling! Of course the two puppers were a lovely bonus ❤. In my opinion when you're young you can do whatever you want with your life, but attempting to climb K2- that reclaims 1 life every 4 climbers- when you have a family it's incredibly selfish and despicable
Well done video, really enjoyed it.
I’ve watched so many videos on the same stories but yours are always the best!
Thanks so much!
