    • EVEREST UPDATE: Sandy ...
    Rainbow Valley is in the death zone of Mount Everest, high up above 8,000 meters (over 26,000 feet), where your body slowly dies off, cell by cell, because of the extreme cold and lack of oxygen. The Rainbow Valley is made colorful by the jackets of the dead climbers that you'll have to climb over on your way to the peak of our world, the summit of Mount Everest.
    Other disgusting things litter the mountain other than body parts and corpses - TONS of trash and piles of human feces. And it only has one way to go from the top - down to the people living below.

      There are about four base camps on Everest And one of them is up in the death zone at around 28,000 feet .so he probably died at one of the high altitude base camps .

      Also beyond semantics, just because you came down doesn't mean you're magically all better. Many ppl have been flown off the mountain to then not survive despite being in the hospital.

Neither she nor I are making fun of their deaths but of the choice to participate in this type of hobbies. Considering that mountain climbing WILL make you struggle to breathe, is not that far removed the comparison with the worldwide event that was occurring at the time. Is dark, ironic and a coping mechanism. Chill.

    Irvines body was found by the Chinese. Pan Dou and Fuzhou said that on the 1975 Chinese expedition to the North Face of Everest, the team had found the body of Sandy Irvine and the Kodak VPK, which they brought home. Later, Chinese technicians attempted to develop the film but were unable to recover any images. It is also possible, if not likely, that the film revealed Mallory and Irvine high on the mountain, perhaps even on top. This, of course, would rob the Chinese of the first ascent of Everest's North Face, an accomplishment that occupies sacred space in the hearts and minds of the Chinese people. Of course, given the present trajectory of geopolitics, the VPK might as well have fallen into one of the gaping crevasses at the bottom of the North Face, so slim is the likelihood that the Chinese government would reveal to the world what's on that film.

    I think it's a shame that one of the 7 wonders of the world has been desecrated like this by human beings. At age 71, I have no plans of ever climbing Everest, although 25 years ago when I retired I entertained thoughts of climbing it. I retired in Colorado and climbed several 14ers here, and during a long tour of duty in Hawaii, I climbed Moana Kea several times when ever my unit deployed to the Big Island for training.
    Right now, I would be satisfied with simply visiting Base Camp in Nepal, and seeing the mountain and taking photos and talking to people who have returned from the summit. To me, that would be a beautiful experience.

    Well done. Very well described, explained and narrated.I feel that each person who wants to visit Everest should pay USD$1million and up (according to the CPI) each and the amount to be distributed equally between the sherpa and expedition company. If the climber fails to heed the rules of climbing such as (not following sherpa instructions or litering etc, the expedition is halted, cancelled and the climber is to be expelled out of the country. There is too much money around and too little respect for the sherpa and the mountain. This is not Disneyland! and if climbers cannot respect the mountain, they should not be on it.

    I appreciate the theme of this channel and the topic of this video, and the delivery is great. There are just a few inaccuracies that aren't that important for the overall story, but are still inaccurate. For instance, the rainbow valley is not in the direct route up the mountain, it's purposely off to the side to keep the bodies out of the way. You don't have to "climb over"all of their bodies. Are there bodies on or near the path? yes, spread out individually, but rainbow valley is not something you hike through.

    back Down ,repeat up to camp 2 , all done over a period of time. Sonetines yiu do camp 1 to 2 then back to base camp . It's process.. not all by sitting at base camp. And it doesn't take days to climb from camp 2 to 3 . 1/2 day or less by a good climber.

    Most of the bodies are on the upper reaches of the mountain. They never thaw, as it never gets above freezing up there (not too far above Base Camp). The snow doesn't melt off the mountain up there either. Most of it sublimates as water vapor. Or, the snow that blows & accumulates in the upper valleys has to work its way down the Western Cwm, form into ice as the Khumbu Glacier, and travel down through the Khumbu Icefall as it nears the Base Camp. This takes many years to do. (Even as low as Base Camp, day temps during summer get above freezing 2/3 months a year for a short time in the afternoons). Even with "global warming".

    What is so sad is that the Nepalese is they are caught between a rock and hard place. They are so poor that they need this money while at the same time their mountain is being trashed. Those sherpas depend on the climbers.

    People climb at night because the ground cover is more solid thus less chance of avalanche.

    I saw a photo of a deceased woman, probably at Rainbow Valley, which sort of haunts me. She was a beautiful woman, but it was so sad obviously. She just looked like she was contemplating something, but her eyes had the vacant look that only a dead person can possess. Another climber stopped to see her and the look on his face had the same I felt. It was sad, but I hope someday, she will return to her family for her final resting place. Did anyone else see her photo?

    Among other errors in your video you're wrong about there not being any kind of wildlife on Everest that will eat remains.
    There's a breed of ravens that the locals call Goracks and they gutted the body of Mallory, the people who found him don't talk about it because of how they pulled his internal organs out, they did it by "entering through the rear" which is pretty undignified and is obviously why they don't bring it up, the information was brought to light in an interview with a climber who was not with them but is friends with the climbers that set out to find Mallory, he was one of the people they consoled with because he's one of the researchers with the most time researching the Mallory and Irvine mystery, matter of fact they were all but lost to history when in 1969 he'd become interested in their story and wrote an article about them in The New York Times, ever since then interest in their story has continued to grow over the year's to where it's practically formed a cult following these past 10 years or so, the guy's who found Mallory's body obviously didn't want to say anything about that fact because his family is still around and considering how cruel people can be on the internet obviously didn't want to be the source for information that could be the basis of cruel and undignified jokes.
    The Gorack's are extremely hardy birds that can be found at all attitudes on Everest scrounging around for any kind of food around camp sites and have even been seen flying over the peak, they're one of only two birds known to fly over Everest's peak with the other being the Bar Headed Goose, they travel over it twice a year when migrating from the north frim the Tibetan Plateau to the south in India then returning north after the winter.
    Gorack's are definitely birds you don't want finding you if you're laying there injured, even in the death zone they'd have no problem landing and starting to tear you apart in a helpless condition.

    Recently heard a Mallory historian describe the genesis of that famous "because it's there" line. Apparently, after a presentation, a reporter kept pestering an annoyed Mallory for a quote and he sarcastically delivered that quip. It was meant to be dismissive, not some philosophical deepity.

      @@Wingedpiper1 no doubt you are correct. I guess i was talking about the constant release of feces that and the newly deposited crap would have a smell before freezing, but you are right in that frozen poo and bodies aren't going to smell. Thanks for the clarification.

    It's not what it used to be, I camped, hiked and backpacked in the sierras long ago and respected the outdoors. Have moved to the 4 corners
    and camped in the San Juan's, the amount of toilet paper human feces sanitary pads just above camp almost made me puke this was 2008
    the weekend after the 4th of July maybe that had something to do with it, the thing is that there were a lot of campers still in the area from New Mexico
    who totally thrashed their campground with trash and ATVs running over vegetation breaking it down like it was a contest to see who could do the
    most destruction on the plants. I give up on humanity.
