For years there was a dead guy a bit further down who had green boots - and the guides knew, on the way up, to make a left at "Green Boots". They took that guy off a few years ago, and now people get lost.
Reading some articles at the moment for more details. Here's more info: "After his collapse, Sherpas were initially able to perform CPR and managed to get him a short way down. But just a few hours later Cash died from the effects of the altitude near the Hillary Step - a near-vertical rock face on the southeast ridge. According to mountaineering reporter Alan Arnette, Cash's body is not recoverable - and his friends said 'his final resting place will probably be exactly where he wanted'."
His final resting place is exactly where he wanted... being a piece of litter, dirtying up a pristine natural landscape with his filthy decaying organic body (thankfully cold-decay i.e. doesn't off-gas or seep into the ground) and synthetic accoutrements.
In 1971, I was with three other climbers on Mt Saint Helen's (before eruption). We got into a spot that was solid ice and over 45 degrees of slope. We couldn't reverse backwards. We had to get over to a safer area, but first had to get there. We removed our ropes, because if one fell, it would pull everyone with him down too. We went single file, kicking each step in the ice with our crampons. Took over an hour to get across ice slope. I was 'a bit nervous'. Probably the most scared in my life up to that point.
@@nathanielovaughn2145 Thank you. I was the least experienced snow / ice climber in group. I had rock climbing experience, but little ice climbing. I survived to tell the tale. I found an old photo I took looking at the 3 in front of me. Ice looked like a shiny mirror at extreme angle with footholds kicked in. We got in over our heads. That part of Mt Saint Helen's north face we climbed is now scattered over 200 square miles after eruption.
@@nathanielovaughn2145Thanks... I live less than 100 miles from Mt Saint Helen's, when she erupted we got tons of ash. Maybe she was punishing us for climbing on her - LOL.
The difference between people like me and the ones in this video, is the fact that they paid good money to do this, and you couldn't pay me enough money to do it. Deadly mountain climbing, deep diving, cave exploring, all hard passes.
Took me quite long to see, but at 0:14, just before he jumps, you can see a body just below the path, almost fully covered in snow. You can clearly see the sunglasses if you know where to look
It's never going to be something I'll never do, as I am terrified of heights, but full respect to everyone who has successfully reached the summit. Especially to all the people who lost their lives on the mountain.
For anyone confused and who missed it in the video, the death being referenced in the title of this video can be viewed at 0:14 seconds. It's a frozen body in blue climbing gear, covered with a bit of snow. The corpse is that of Mr. Donald Cash aged 54, of Sandy, Utah. He died there on May 22nd of 2019. He quit his job as a software salesman the prior December before the Everest climb in order to complete the goal of climbing the tallest mountain on each of the 7 continents. He had completed 5 of the others in prior years starting in 2015, the 6th just a month or two before his death, and Everest was the last on the list. His physical constitution at that point in his life, in his early 50s was not suited (or no longer suited) to climbing dangerous mountains and he had already experienced several life-threatening events on the previous mountains, and had permanent injuries including lost fingers and toes. He summited Everest and fainted due to altitude sickness almost immediately after arriving. He slightly recovered, able to move under his own power, and then fainted again (this time permanently) on his way back down while being aided by sherpas. After fainting he slid down to that spot you see in the video at 0:14, likely only stopped thanks to his rope anchor. Despite the body technically being "within reach" of other climbers, the sherpas (the experts) determined it would be too unsafe to ever try to recover his body with current climbing technology, so it will be left there forever or until mountain rescue technology advances to the point where bodies can be recovered from near the summit without any risk to other climbers or rescuers (such safety technology existing decades or more from now will also mean that mountain climbs have likely become trivially easy and pointless). His family has a romantic view of the death and where his body has been left, but in reality his corpse is just another piece of litter trashing up the pristine natural beauty of the mountain, and the anchoring that was left there poses an annoying logistical hurdle for other climbers who are exhausted and sometimes under mild exhaustion-related psychosis when they reach it and have to navigate past it without losing their footing, which this video demonstrates. It's terribly inconvenient when you already have to dodge other climbers going up. Mr. Cash's death was one of 5 deaths on the mountain that week alone - all corpses left as litter.
@@motivatedman9730 yeah I feel like that’s a bit harsh. And not like they’re decaying either, bodies up there are essentially preserved. Now the actual littering of human waste on the mountain. That’s a big problem. They started making people carry a certain amount of trash back down with them as they descend now I believe.
There's statistically a higher likelihood of survival if you don't climb Everest

Nobody gets out alive bud, survival is a very short sighted mentality when it comes to humans and our desires. Preparing for what comes after is a worthwhile endeavor too..........not enough people care enough to make those preparations.
This section makes me think of Mick Burke climbing alone in bad weather, 1975. Who knows where he fell - most likely on the descent in a whiteout. This would be a tricky bit, here, exhausted and can't see. I met Mick in Switzerland at Dougal Haston's hostel a few years before. Dougal asked him: "So, how were the Dolomites, Mick." His classic reply: "STEEP.". . . RIP, Mick.
@@munnjean On Everest, seems it's quite common for parties to split up when their pace if different. Even paired, they most likely would not have beeb roped up on this section.
You can clearly see the curvature of the Earth plus the Troposphere, Stratosphere and Mesophere layers as the sky above darkens. Most planes cruise only a few thousand feet higher than Everest at 35-40,000 feet. Incredible footage and must be unbelievably cold up there.
@@nikonmikon8915 uh negative .. you are wrong and its so simple to figure out.. see its not possible for there to be a curve there when WHEN THE ALTITUDE YOU FLY AT WHICH IS HIGHER DONT HAVE A CURVE AND THRE ALTITUDE IS NOT THAT HIGH .

I heard it's 30 kPa, isn't that far more than 60% air pressure? It's exponential, and from my knowledge, air pressure is calculated by p0*exp(-(altitude/scaleHeight))
@@variegatus4674 it’s derived from gravity acting in a column of air. P = P_ref * e^(-gMh/RT) P_ref being atmospheric pressure at sea level (100kpa), h being height in meters, if we assume a temperature or 15 Celsius and put all the constants into the calculator, we find the pressure to equal 60kpa.
So basically its like sign of route: They would probably say, after 12 meters you will see James's corpse, turn 42° left from there then you will see Austin's corpse from there straight up
When i watched a video the other day of Sherpas who were striking because they only got tipped $2 a bag they hauled to the camps risking their own lives i lost the allure of these videos,especially when in that same video the group waiting to go next said the average is $15.People pay hundreds of thousands to get up the mountain with equipment and tours but the people who carry their HEAVY bags,tents,food etc up to the camps get paid absolutely nothing,its slavery and nothing else.
There’s a video on here we’re a group is trying to climb K2, and the Pakistanis they were hauling their caravan full of everything from Foode to Furniture, went on strike in the middle of it because they found out that the previous caravan made something like $20 for two weeks worth of work. If you can’t afford to pay the help a decent wage stay the f-k home. and if I hear one more person say “yeah but $20 is a lot of money in Pakistan” i’m going to ask TH-cam to do what they do best and censor them.
No it's not slavery. No one is forcing them to do carry anything. If they don't like what they get paid they can not do it. They can sell their labour for however much money they want.
LMAO that's quite a stretch but even if so you'd think the moron who posted the video would say that but instead puts up to sleep watching 2 guys rub their sausages on ea other as they pass
@Jeremy i said almost clown..read the content before you chime in like a school girl! I never said you were in space or on the line, I said you can almost see where the darkness of space begins.. its true, if everest were a little higher you would be able to see the curveture of the earth. Read a book you schmuck
the atmosphere doesnt "end" anywhere near 9km. At 12-15km you will basically only see black in the "sky". The Atmosphere itself expands as far as 630000km away from the Planet, as recent discoveries by ESA/NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory "SOHO" has shown.
@Sharpless2 my point is you can see the earth's curvature including the black sky above the sun line.. it's high enough that your view isn't obstructed.. but I appreciate that nugget of Space information! I never knew you could get that high that you can see the darkness from earth..super cool! There is a Redbull video where a guy goes to the actual gravity line and jumps to earth. Insane! He was free falling at hundreds of MPH.. it was wild
I was severely scared of heights for a long time but when I was 13 I summited Mt. Baker in Washington and have loved mountaineering ever since. I think it something everyone no matter their fears have to experience once in their lives.
I don't think so. It's an unnecessary risk. I feel most people who do this are trying to feel "alive". There are other ways to feel alive you need to search deep within yourself. Life is too short
There was a PBS documentary about climbers. They had a newbie who made a fatal mistake in that she disconnected herself from a rope....and fell. The video showed her descent and it was quite disturbing. The climb stopped to find her body which they did.
some will say " he died doing what he loved" I say " Well, he probably didn't love it during that last bit, now did he?" There are places on earth that man was not meant to go. that's one of them. the other one is in the deep ocean, as we learned with that homemade submarine that imploded a few months ago. If you want the best chance of staying alive, don't go places that you weren't meant to go. To those that want to try to cheat death, do something easy like, not smoking. that is all.
@@Nordmann-nb5eq that was not the point :D ofc its sad and RIP to all those who tried to conquer Mt. Everest, but i still think that the feeling up there is insane and would love to expericence that one day
@@Nordmann-nb5eq well, if you go there, you know the risks beforehand. if you take on more than you can carry, its a big mistake. adults deciding to do this and dying bc they completely overestimated themselves, well, everyone told them how hard its going to be. 100%. no one told them it will be easy. so its on them. obv it would be crazy to see some frozen corpses on your way to the top, nobody wants to see that, and many who died arent even responsible for it themselves as they couldnt really do anything better but it is known that so many ppl do these "all inclusive Everest trips" without having much or sometimes any actual previous experience in mountaineering and those ppl are completely responsible for it and tbh its hard to feel feel sorry for such massive stupidity. its classic natural selection. i also dont feel sorry for the reckless driver if they drive 3 times the allowed speed limit with their car and then die.
Took me awhile to see the frozen body at the start of the video. It's crazy how high this is.....if you look at the background, it's so high you can see where the sky begins to turn into space......that's super spooky to me.
For those of you who don’t know, this is the body of Donald Cash. He was an avid explorer from Utah who had climbed the highest peak on each continent, except for Everest. He fulfilled his goal by reaching the top, but sadly passed away on his descent back down the mountain. He passed doing what he loved, may his soul Rest In Peace❤
While I still don't get why and what's the sole reason for all climbers that made the excitement, I commend their bravery always. Thanks for the footage!
I'm watching this becuz I'm a Union electrician and the other day I decided to skip the last rung on my ladder...so I decided to look up the crazy lives of these elite daredevils...since I too have entered that category.
It looks awesome. I don't like the idea of my body literally slowly dieing once I get above a certain altitude though. I do a lot of extreme things(Even my job is extreme, tower climbing), but I'll pass on that. Seems way too commercialized now anyway.
I had Everest windows installed in 1980 on the advice of thr farmer Ted Moult.Excellent value.I did once attempt to summit Stoney Clouds in Sandiacre ,circa 1990 but abandoned it halfway as two teenagers were having it off behind some bushes.

The scariest part to me is that every one of the people that has died mountain climbing knew the risks and the statistics and thought that they'd be alright anyways and maybd thwy were for a long time but all it takes is one wrong step and you're done
It's not even a wrong step that kills people, usually. Oxygen is very low at those altitudes. It's a tremendous strain on your body. People collapse and die of exhaustion.
Been my dream since I first saw that mountain as a kid. Was blown away by the fact you need oxygen because it’s so high. Been hooked ever since. Maybe one day I could trek in to basecamp at least .🙏🏻
Ill ride witcha bill...but im summiting. no point in just visiting...which still would be hella kool just to be there...i keep thinking about it this way, your basically walking up to airplane space...gonna figure out how to keep warm up there though. And no o2 for me...
@@iansmith3261 with respect. You are one of those people that show up to Everest thinking they got this. Then your frozen on the mountain dead for eternity Just saying.
@@iansmith3261 have you ever experienced anything close to what climbing everest would be like? let alone without oxygen?? you may as well claim you’re going to do it in a t shirt and shorts as well. confidence is good but too much of it will get you killed.
Well he's still connected to the existing line their all still using, I understand those lines get moved and changed at somewhat regular times so he's definitely not been dead long.
Everyone's talking about the dead body... but what gets me is the blackness of the sky above them. Really shows how thin the air is up there and that they really are on top of the world.
This is actually the most dogshit take I have ever see on TH-cam. How about motivate yourself and achieve great things that make your life worth living
I feel like I would just succumb to my intrusive thoughts when I reach the summit. “Fall backwards”, “Jump off”, “Push someone off” it’s kinda terrifying..
Is it weird that I would do this before I did that cave diving thing where people squeeze between tiny openings and sometimes barely make it out alive (or not at all)?
I understand those who choose to climb. Mount Everest are well aware of the chance they take. If they are individuals that have trained and are truly living life to the fullest. I imagine most contribute to society and live a relatively healthy lifestyle. It saddens me when those who have such ambition succumb to mother nature, or take one wrong step, and die so needlessly.
Stupid is not synonymous with risky. Go take some sleeping pills and stay off the internet for a bit if you're gonna be a miserable little kid.@@littlemoth4956
It’s so sad with the deaths on there, they’ll let the families choose if they wanna get the bodies or leave them there, the ones that stay are used as waypoints to the summit.
the sad thing is that it's more often than not dangerous for someone to try to save someone else on mt everest so often people trapped and dying somewhere on the mountain are left to die and their body is often never found again because it's just too dangerous to do body recovery, the morbid thing is these bodies have become landmarks up the mountain that people use to gauge how far up they are. there's a grave at kangaroo grounds in victoria, australia that details an american who got lost somewhere on mount everest and his body was never found. it's really scary how keen people are to risk their lives just to climb everest.
Someone is now struggling on Everest maybe even fighting for their lives, but I’m now in a cozy bed having a good summer sleep! I mean why would people go there and risk so much….

@@veronicaBolanos-mc4fc Because they're not mountaineers, they're egomaniacs who only climb it to brag and add it to their bucket list. No true mountaineer would even consider Everest unless it was by one of it's rarer routes. There are so many more challenging mountains out there, even among 8000'ers, like K2 and Nanga Parbat, or let alone Annapurna. Hell, there are still plenty of unclimbed mountains of almost 8000 meters, the true last unaccomplished feats.
i once watched a video of a blind guy talking about how he climbed mt everest and he loved the view when the sun was rising. he couldnt see it, but he could feel the heat from the sun on his face
I was trying to carefully examine this video but I’m lost, maybe because it was out of frame. But did someone fall in that abrupt moment when the filmer turned to grab the rope?
Took me a moment to see the dead person - rip. That mountain climb is one of few mountains that also acts as unofficial graveyard Bodies can not be collected - by any party as it endangers both, even if they were able to they endanger any climbers currently climbing, cause an avalanche if helicopters are used, and get trapped and or isolated

When i watched a video the other day of Sherpas who were striking because they only got tipped $2 a bag they hauled to the camps risking their own lives i lost the allure of these videos,especially when in that same video the group waiting to go next said the average is $15.People pay hundreds of thousands to get up the mountain with equipment and tours but the people who carry their HEAVY bags,tents,food etc up to the camps get paid absolutely nothing,its slavery and nothing else.
That’s awful, I had no idea they were paid so little
@@lizzytheepiclizardgibb9571 I think in their country it's a lot of money. It doesn't amend the fact that it's slavery though.
Imperialism and adventure tourism are dumb. Nurses, teachers, engineers are my heroes.
There’s a video on here we’re a group is trying to climb K2, and the Pakistanis they were hauling their caravan full of everything from Foode to Furniture, went on strike in the middle of it because they found out that the previous caravan made something like $20 for two weeks worth of work. If you can’t afford to pay the help a decent wage stay the f-k home. and if I hear one more person say “yeah but $20 is a lot of money in Pakistan” i’m going to ask TH-cam to do what they do best and censor them.
No it's not slavery. No one is forcing them to do carry anything. If they don't like what they get paid they can not do it. They can sell their labour for however much money they want.
0:25 dead person bottom of screen. All you see is the dead man’s feet
LMAO that's quite a stretch but even if so you'd think the moron who posted the video would say that but instead puts up to sleep watching 2 guys rub their sausages on ea other as they pass
Thank you!

Very observant of you.
Wow this mountain is so high that you can almost see where our atmosphere ends and the darkness of space begins
No you can't idiot space is another 90km above sea level
@Jeremy i said almost clown..read the content before you chime in like a school girl! I never said you were in space or on the line, I said you can almost see where the darkness of space begins.. its true, if everest were a little higher you would be able to see the curveture of the earth. Read a book you schmuck
the atmosphere doesnt "end" anywhere near 9km. At 12-15km you will basically only see black in the "sky". The Atmosphere itself expands as far as 630000km away from the Planet, as recent discoveries by ESA/NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory "SOHO" has shown.
@Sharpless2 my point is you can see the earth's curvature including the black sky above the sun line.. it's high enough that your view isn't obstructed.. but I appreciate that nugget of Space information! I never knew you could get that high that you can see the darkness from earth..super cool! There is a Redbull video where a guy goes to the actual gravity line and jumps to earth. Insane! He was free falling at hundreds of MPH.. it was wild
space is a hoax.
I was severely scared of heights for a long time but when I was 13 I summited Mt. Baker in Washington and have loved mountaineering ever since. I think it something everyone no matter their fears have to experience once in their lives.
I've got the same opinion, but then it's regarding drugs.
Bro how did you summit Mt. Baker as a 13 year old???
I did Mount Baker in NY. Changed my life
I don't think so. It's an unnecessary risk. I feel most people who do this are trying to feel "alive". There are other ways to feel alive you need to search deep within yourself. Life is too short
Nah I’m good
There was a PBS documentary about climbers. They had a newbie who made a fatal mistake in that she disconnected herself from a rope....and fell. The video showed her descent and it was quite disturbing. The climb stopped to find her body which they did.
some will say " he died doing what he loved" I say " Well, he probably didn't love it during that last bit, now did he?" There are places on earth that man was not meant to go. that's one of them. the other one is in the deep ocean, as we learned with that homemade submarine that imploded a few months ago. If you want the best chance of staying alive, don't go places that you weren't meant to go. To those that want to try to cheat death, do something easy like, not smoking. that is all.
that was a submersible...
👍
That has to be an incredible feeling knowing that you are literally on top of the 🌎
And on top of hundreds of bodies.....
@@Nordmann-nb5eq that was not the point :D ofc its sad and RIP to all those who tried to conquer Mt. Everest, but i still think that the feeling up there is insane and would love to expericence that one day
yae sure good luck dying, feel free to send me all your belongings cause i could really use some
@@Nordmann-nb5eq well, if you go there, you know the risks beforehand. if you take on more than you can carry, its a big mistake. adults deciding to do this and dying bc they completely overestimated themselves, well, everyone told them how hard its going to be. 100%. no one told them it will be easy. so its on them. obv it would be crazy to see some frozen corpses on your way to the top, nobody wants to see that, and many who died arent even responsible for it themselves as they couldnt really do anything better but it is known that so many ppl do these "all inclusive Everest trips" without having much or sometimes any actual previous experience in mountaineering and those ppl are completely responsible for it and tbh its hard to feel feel sorry for such massive stupidity. its classic natural selection. i also dont feel sorry for the reckless driver if they drive 3 times the allowed speed limit with their car and then die.
I wouldn't feel a thing
Being disconnected for those 2 seconds would scare me
Took me awhile to see the frozen body at the start of the video. It's crazy how high this is.....if you look at the background, it's so high you can see where the sky begins to turn into space......that's super spooky to me.
For those of you who don’t know, this is the body of Donald Cash. He was an avid explorer from Utah who had climbed the highest peak on each continent, except for Everest. He fulfilled his goal by reaching the top, but sadly passed away on his descent back down the mountain. He passed doing what he loved, may his soul Rest In Peace❤
While I still don't get why and what's the sole reason for all climbers that made the excitement, I commend their bravery always. Thanks for the footage!
There is ZERO bravery going on here. There are 100% selfish assholes going on here.
Knowing you need to turn around almost immediately after reaching the summit is pretty scary.
If i went climbing and i got stuck, im sure as hell jumping and plummeting to the ground like a flying squirrel
xd
0:54 what is the point?
Without the snow these climbs would be only for the very technical climbers.
It'll probably all melt soon then we'll see 😂
Great point.
That's why I bring my own snow in case I find a wall that's too hard for me.
@@baggy79 imagine if the planet warms up so much that we get 25°C+ on Everest. Imagine what it would smell like with all the dead trash up there.
@@Sharpless2 Hahaha.. pretty nasty I'd say
Love watching people climb Everest. Saves me the hassle of doing it myself
right
also at 0:13 there is a dead body at the bottom of the screen lol
@@Godly_Improvementwhy did you include “lol” it’s not funny
@@AHB23Gtag I've no idea
Me from five months ago thought that it was funny that I was the one to point that out.
Everyone dies at some point tho
I'm watching this becuz I'm a Union electrician and the other day I decided to skip the last rung on my ladder...so I decided to look up the crazy lives of these elite daredevils...since I too have entered that category.
For anyone wondering, the body you see at 0:14, is a climber that cherished on the mountain and is now used as a climbing route marker
It looks awesome. I don't like the idea of my body literally slowly dieing once I get above a certain altitude though. I do a lot of extreme things(Even my job is extreme, tower climbing), but I'll pass on that. Seems way too commercialized now anyway.
same. i think hes a fraud. dont listen to him
@@toafloast1883 You guys are like Dunning Kruger tag team
@@mortalclown3812 considering your handle, you'd make a great opponent for these two.
If Everest is too commercialized for you, then climb K2 or Kangchenjunga, or any of the less-popular ones. Many of them are way more dangerous though
I had Everest windows installed in 1980 on the advice of thr farmer Ted Moult.Excellent value.I did once attempt to summit Stoney Clouds in Sandiacre ,circa 1990 but abandoned it halfway as two teenagers were having it off behind some bushes.
huh
XD
you live your life to the fullest ... just like me ...
Some climb ladders, others climb mounds.
I attempted to climb my Brothers wallet, but couldn't make it to the summit
The fact you can partially see the atmosphere is strangely beautiful in a way
If they look over the edge they're facing, it's like a 10,000 ft straight drop into China.
Yeah as if the fall alone was not bad enough
One side of Everest is in Nepal, and the other in Tibet. China doesn't share any borders with Everest.
@Ted Green Everest sits on Nepal/China border. Southern slope lies in Nepal. Northern slope is China. Tibet is a province of China

@@shaunakmahapatraHurr durr
The scariest part to me is that every one of the people that has died mountain climbing knew the risks and the statistics and thought that they'd be alright anyways and maybd thwy were for a long time but all it takes is one wrong step and you're done
It's not even a wrong step that kills people, usually. Oxygen is very low at those altitudes. It's a tremendous strain on your body. People collapse and die of exhaustion.
@@isaacbruner65 Think of when you're really ill, having to climb a mountain is the last thing you'd want to do. That's what kills them.
Been my dream since I first saw that mountain as a kid. Was blown away by the fact you need oxygen because it’s so high. Been hooked ever since. Maybe one day I could trek in to basecamp at least .🙏🏻
Ill ride witcha bill...but im summiting. no point in just visiting...which still would be hella kool just to be there...i keep thinking about it this way, your basically walking up to airplane space...gonna figure out how to keep warm up there though. And no o2 for me...
@@iansmith3261 that’s cool. But I bet a million you won’t get to camp four without oxygen. Good luck with that.
@@iansmith3261 some of the best climbers in the world can’t do that. Very very few.
@@iansmith3261 with respect. You are one of those people that show up to Everest thinking they got this. Then your frozen on the mountain dead for eternity Just saying.
@@iansmith3261 have you ever experienced anything close to what climbing everest would be like? let alone without oxygen?? you may as well claim you’re going to do it in a t shirt and shorts as well. confidence is good but too much of it will get you killed.
Well he's still connected to the existing line their all still using, I understand those lines get moved and changed at somewhat regular times so he's definitely not been dead long.
Where is the dead body I don’t see it?
13 sec or so
@@M_Duhamel 😁 here I was thinking the guy they pass who was alive was dying.
It's the body of Don Cash who died May 22, 2019. This video was taken just the day after.
I swear people are blind
Everyone's talking about the dead body... but what gets me is the blackness of the sky above them. Really shows how thin the air is up there and that they really are on top of the world.
Just remember that every single body on Mount Everest was once a very highly motivated and disciplined person.
#unmotivateyourself
This is actually the most dogshit take I have ever see on TH-cam. How about motivate yourself and achieve great things that make your life worth living
100% agree. Motivation makes people stupid. This is the best take i've seen in a while, hats off to you sir.
@@nooux1966 This is some naive thinking
@@bigbay1159 Quiet pussy.
@@bigbay1159 i agree. motivation is what drives humans to reach their full potential
Watched the clip a few times now, and I still have no idea about what is actually going on or what it is meant to show? 🤷♂
Now I see. There isn't a falling body on the footage. about 13 sec you can see the frozen body.
@@axelef2344 OH! You are absolutely right! thank you for sharing, Axel, Really appreciate it. 🙏
Have a great day!
I feel like I would just succumb to my intrusive thoughts when I reach the summit. “Fall backwards”, “Jump off”, “Push someone off” it’s kinda terrifying..
People dying with full equipment yet some guy climbed that shit in just his underwear
He didn't reach 8000.
Thats Donald Cash from utah resting there, died 2019. Rest in peace, what a final view...
Is it weird that I would do this before I did that cave diving thing where people squeeze between tiny openings and sometimes barely make it out alive (or not at all)?
I have been to Mt Everest and this is one of the scariest place while descending it.
Please explain why.
@@easterwatts7426 guess
Which route is this? Did you take this same route?
I still don’t understand why people do this shit
You can see the dead person on the bottom of the screen, attached to the line at 14 seconds.
I understand those who choose to climb. Mount Everest are well aware of the chance they take. If they are individuals that have trained and are truly living life to the fullest. I imagine most contribute to society and live a relatively healthy lifestyle. It saddens me when those who have such ambition succumb to mother nature, or take one wrong step, and die so needlessly.
i have someone in my family that climbed mt everest, and he is still alive
Why? They did something stupid and dangerous and paid with their lives. Sounds like Darwinism to me.
Stupid is not synonymous with risky. Go take some sleeping pills and stay off the internet for a bit if you're gonna be a miserable little kid.@@littlemoth4956
the best thing of YT climbing is i can eat pizza during the expedition
Imagine you are falling that mountain when you are at high point and you are knowing that you die and you just close eyes and going to better world
Thank you for this beautiful view from the top of the world. It’s awesome!
This section must be the "Cornice Traverse" with 10,000ft drops on either side of it. Can you imagine the guts this takes?!
😂😂 nah Just Takes No brain
It’s so sad with the deaths on there, they’ll let the families choose if they wanna get the bodies or leave them there, the ones that stay are used as waypoints to the summit.
What the heck keeps that ledge from collapsing and what in the world are they bolting into? Snow??
Tem um período do ano...e do dia para o gelo estar firme..Fora disso..não fazem.. risco de desmoronar!
Ice is very sturdy. Unless it is in a position about to collapse, the icy ridge will remain quite stable, enough for mountaineers to climb on it.
i was thinking the same thing like jesus the amount of trust in those bolts
I feel guilty clicking on this.
the sad thing is that it's more often than not dangerous for someone to try to save someone else on mt everest so often people trapped and dying somewhere on the mountain are left to die and their body is often never found again because it's just too dangerous to do body recovery, the morbid thing is these bodies have become landmarks up the mountain that people use to gauge how far up they are. there's a grave at kangaroo grounds in victoria, australia that details an american who got lost somewhere on mount everest and his body was never found. it's really scary how keen people are to risk their lives just to climb everest.
I’m confused where is this dead guy?
0:14
Someone is now struggling on Everest maybe even fighting for their lives, but I’m now in a cozy bed having a good summer sleep!
I mean why would people go there and risk so much….
its an achievement, a testament to ones ability to do something so incredible
@@cold5417 its gay
@@ikram9266 idk climbing something really big is kinda badass especially when it could kill you
@@cold5417 so an achievement would also be surviving a ring worm especially the african ones (i can tell you from experience)
@@ikram9266 I mean was it an optional experience? did you willingly have a ring worm injecting in you because if you did then you might have a case here
the left hand side of the mountain looks like the border of a game map
I wonder if someone would ever try to parachute from the summit down everest
I imagine the air at that altitude isn’t thick enough for a parachute to deploy.
Уважаю альпинистов, есть порох в этих людях! Сам много лет отдыхаю в горах и тоже влюблен в горы!
Им платят хорошие деньги, что бы заниматься этой хернёй.
@@alexa.davronov1537платят проводникам-шерпам (которые на этой работе нередко гибнут). А альпинисты-туристы обычно сами платят, чтоб туда подняться.
Imagine dropping a good amount of money to increase your death chances by 90%
Hello, Mr. Todd, is that you? It’s Raj. Bodhi’s old friend LOL
death? what death? i didnt see anyone dying or already dead
0:14 look at the bottom you can see a dead body halfly coverd in ice
it sounded like a good life challenge but with research + this video. it’s really making me reconsider
Wait, who died and when?
Don Cash. The day before
@@mortalclown3812that killed me man thanks. Hilarious
I hear most accident happen on the way down : why not use some kind of parachute to climb down? Easier and less risky, no?
Its hard to bring a parachute up there, its too cold, you have too much clothing on, not enough air maybe, too dangerous, not everyone can paraglide
Imagine the wind up there, if u mess up packing it up. u could be draggen of the side. ight lets say u got the take off. whoops blewn into the mountain. Powerful wind. and finally. landing, landing in a crevase could end you
Most people die from exposure not falling
Probably you will land in some crevasses 🤢
Is the body seen @ 0:13?
There's something there, attached to some rope. It could be the dead body. Other than that I just couldn't see anything resembling a frozen corpse.
At :13 seconds you can see a body below the trail. At :27 seconds there is a bikini model further down the path prancing around.
Good god man, that climber got so high and died there, honor to him and all the people who tried to climb Mt. Everest
Sorry but seeing the premier notification I thought it was going to be something else than just a clip from your previous video.
I think they are referencing a visible corpse on this part of the trek. It's right over the edge of the slope
Are you ok now?
Sheesh.
It’s satisfying to know that I have no desire to do crap like this. Thank GOD.
it's ok, you wont' understand the ones who want to do this.
If you wanna know why people do this start researching on meditation, best of luck for your journey. I promise you will not be disappointed.. Start searching for answers to your questions
😂😂
@@anirbanbanerjee823 so you are saying I should jack off 4 times a day!? Mr ahsheem, I am now a devoted follower.
I'm dense apparently. Why was this named Death on Mt. Everest? What'd I miss?
Some loser trying to get clicks on his video
click bait
No you can see a body, or the legs 13 seconds in. It happens often on the summit, one slip and you can get stuck
Comments are full of people bragging “oh I would never do that.” Just shut up! Nobody cares
Also, I would never climb Everest. Too dangerous.
Каждый взошедший на гору должен забрать вниз свой мусор и ещё несколько килограмм. Это будет наибольшим удовлетворением после посещения вершины. Иначе это опять пустое развлечение богачей и загаживание ими планеты.
I just can’t get over humans being on earth and seeing its curvature. I would faint
Of course, the views from the top are magnificent! But what efforts and labors and, most importantly, risk, this ascent requires! I couldn't!
Sad that Everest has become a huge trash dump
My same thoughts. Nobody talks about the filth these mountaineers leave behind. Such disrespect to nature.
@@veronicaBolanos-mc4fc Because they're not mountaineers, they're egomaniacs who only climb it to brag and add it to their bucket list. No true mountaineer would even consider Everest unless it was by one of it's rarer routes. There are so many more challenging mountains out there, even among 8000'ers, like K2 and Nanga Parbat, or let alone Annapurna. Hell, there are still plenty of unclimbed mountains of almost 8000 meters, the true last unaccomplished feats.
i once watched a video of a blind guy talking about how he climbed mt everest and he loved the view when the sun was rising. he couldnt see it, but he could feel the heat from the sun on his face
I was trying to carefully examine this video but I’m lost, maybe because it was out of frame. But did someone fall in that abrupt moment when the filmer turned to grab the rope?
no at 14 seconds you can see a hanging dead body
Where was the death ?just two muppets standing on Mount everest ain't cool these days lol
If you’re looking to recreate a Mount Everest-like experience in America, Mount Washington in New Hampshire
Who died?
0:14
You can imagine it without all the other climbers and no fixed line, leading this pitch on belay how exhilarating that would be.
Suicidally dangerous but exhilarating
Well each year sherpas have to put those lines in so someone is always doing it half freestyle
0:14 bottom of screen
0:27 same area.
That dude below them is dead
Where is the death?
13 seconds in, someone slipped and you can see their legs
What is this video supposed to show?
Ikr. 😂
Dead body at 00:13 below the person in front of the cameraman.
for some people this is a family member who suddenly never came back and this video may be the only record of his remains
Didn't see it at first but 0:14 bottom corner you'll see the body have to look carefully.
Where??
Took me a moment to see the dead person - rip.
That mountain climb is one of few mountains that also acts as unofficial graveyard
Bodies can not be collected - by any party as it endangers both, even if they were able to they endanger any climbers currently climbing, cause an avalanche if helicopters are used, and get trapped and or isolated
I’ve watched and rewatched and still didn’t see anything, could you tell me when it shows and where?
