- In 1955, a group of 12 Kazakh mountain climbers attempted to make an ascent to Victory Peak, the highest peak in the Tian Shan mountains, which became one of the worst tragedies in the history of mountaineering taking the lives of 11 people. Only one climber, severely frostbitten, survived to tell what happened...

I'm a 27 yo mother, from a tropical country that barely has any mountains, with zero interest in mountaineering but I still can't seem to miss not even one of your videos, your storytelling abilities are truly amazing 😊
True.
Try earning your own money instead of spending someone elses then !

Want to go hiking?
What amazes me is the quality of this footage. Very good job.
I kind of appreciate that it was the guy who consistently tried to save everyone else (digging out the snow for hours upon hours, while other climbers sat in their ever-expanding tent, either they cbf or were too weak to assist), he was very strong, thoughtful & logical, pity his mates didn't survive with him (the lad who's uncle was in the Politburo, who died descending after shovelling snow with him, or the chap that fell into a different crevasse the day before). RIP.
Man, I wonder if the team who found that journal got a chill when they realized what it was... Rediscovering the words of the dead is monumental, but it's got to be a little spooky too.
How you manage to consistently publish documentaries of such high quality is really impressive. I always wonder: are you creating the animations yourself? If so: are you a professional in this field or self-taught "just" for these videos? And who is the female voice in your videos? (sorry for the barrage of questions, you don't have to answer, of course)
@ameisee4 Thank you! While I do most of the editing myself, I also have a friend who helps with 3D graphics to illustrate the stories with very little archival footage. As for the female voice, my wife does these parts:)
@@ArchiesArchive Cool, thanks :)
You and your wife both have great voices, I have always wondered who the female voice was too .
Great work all round. 💯🙏☮️🙏
Another fascinating story. Archie’s Archives is one of the best presenters. Measured narration, good graphics that match the story. Thanks!
Amazing that the Usbek group paid attention and helped.
(first comment about the actual content of the video. This never happens to me!)
I have watched your videos long time, and I just realised that I have not written any comment. I will now do it!
Your videos have always been pleasure to watch. Quality, editing and narration is always so well done. These stories are meant to be told with care and passion. I want to thank you and the others that might help you with the videos. I want to wish you all a wonderful day! 😊
I miss soviet climbing stories. Please do more. You always have ones I’ve never heard.
I really enjoy your channel for the original content. Never knows of the very confidential Soviet Union accidents on all those mountains. Fascinating! Thank you for the research and great editing.
Whoever devised or re-created all the footage and so forth is just amazing. The high mountain treks are not only difficult, they seem so cruel. I can not understand a desire, let alone a passion to do attempt these journeys but hey, my hats off to those who do~!
That was a great bit of editing with the journals. Really great to see the production quality of your videos go up.
I’m uncertain how to spell the name of the mountain climber so I won’t try and fail miserably, but I am filled with admiration for him and I’m glad he lived a long life. (Really, really like your videos.)
You should ask for “likes”. You deserve so much more! Almost 14k views and only 528 likes is absurd! Great videos!
Thanks for the video Archie another great story. Have you ever thought of maybe making a channel about Soviet history, it's endlessly fascinating to folk in the west. You and Paperskies always make such interesting videos about soviet era events.
Thank you for all the effort you put in for these high quality videos. Always interesting to imagine oneself in these risky situations where all of nature is against you.
Another awesome Archie story!
Archie, cover The bodom murders or The oven murder. Both in Finland. I love your channel, wish u could upload more often. We missed you. Kram från Sverige
Great video! I always appreciate your careful descriptions and attention to detail. Giving so much background makes it easier to understand what happened and why, instead of just a rushed summary of the tragedy itself. Keep up the good work!
I love you're videos I wait and anticipate them every month
I don’t think they would have survived with more (lots of things). They had not worked together long enough to develop any team mentality or even enough experience to shield themselves from the stress of “it’s cold and someone with more initiative expects me to start taking responsibility for myself”. The two who kept getting up to clear their own tent were setting a fabulous example. Many of the others however had not made the psychological shift from “someone is looking after me” to “I’m learning by experience what needs to be done & im taking responsibility to get it done”
All those men...just gone, just like that. 😥
So often you heare that the mountains are "crule".
I think that the mountains, like oceans, caves, jungles and deserts, just are!
They are in their climate zones with their fakts, and rules.
If man wants to survive, he/she neets to know exactly what they are dealing with and to treat nature with respect.
For natures forces can certainly be dangerous to man!
And pain, suffering and death seems crule to us.
Thats why I deeply admire Sir Edmund Hillary, Reinhold Messner and the third one, whos name I forget, who were knowledgable and respectfull enough to live to a wise old age, to tell their stories. ❤ 😊
Literary 6,902... This never happens to me😂
1:03 Did anyone else notice the face (paradolia) at the timestamp? To me, it looks like Jokers face. 🤣😆
summit fever will get yah.
Love your videos❤. When will you make another one.
literally first, this never happens to me
😱
I have never heard of this peak.
Man fell down crevice. Got saved by pure miraculous luck. Took another look at the mountain and said "That all you got?"
literally second, this never happens to me
I don’t know why I’ve never heard about it maybe was where it is but that’s definitely a hike and a crazy story
I accidently clicked the dislike button but corrected it a second later😅 Just wanted to apologize and explain myself😅
As always your videos are so interesting! I feel very sorry for these people but I'm equally fascinated that anyone goes out to do stuff like this.
Thank you for another great video!💜
30:22 Given the elements, those are some serious should've, could've, would'ves if I've ever heard them.~!!
One for the algorithm gods, All Hail the algorithm
Literally third, this never happens to me.
Absolutely reckless not to acclimatise first. Ego-driven fools. Cant feel sorry for them but i do feel sorry for their loved ones.
They didn’t have a stove, and this and that, so why didn’t they take the stove and things from the abandoned camp??! At least the stove and gas!! 😂🤣
SCARY
Literally 8th this never happens to me
Got dead ????
Wow
Awful yet a good story of that makes any sense. It’s history we can all learn from
4:00 Kyrgyzstan was part of the USSR
🍻🇨🇦😁

Only the ones who listen and think wil learn, the others will end like the ones who did not make it.
The background music ruins this.
Interesting story however your Russian pronunciations are terrible. Even some non-Russian words were mispronounced by you. The climber who fell ill at around 22.32, fell to the ground and became the first casualty of the descent, not the ascent. Aren't all icy crevasses filled with cold water? 24:18
I can answer your last question: no. Crevasses are, definitially, a deep open crack, especially one in a glacier. They are frequently not filled with anything, although some will have a snow bridge over the top.
Occasionally, they are filled with water, which I would imagine would be especially dangerous, as being soaked in a frigid mountain environment is a pretty good way to ensure you get hypothermia and frostbite.
Really interesting but i can tell you the problem of the expedition in one word. Testosterone. Too much of it.
