If you cannot climb the mountain without a Sherpa carrying all your equipment or have not summited other 8,000m peaks you should not be allowed on the mountain. The mountain should be reserved only for the best climbers and locals. There’s far too many people with little to no climbing experience thinking they can just pay enough money to have sherpas do it for them.
@@zxqwerxz Is money going to suddenly allow your body to handle the cruising altitude of an airliner? Absolutely not. These people who die on the mountain every year have no idea what they are signing up for.

They need to make it a law that the tourists must carry all their own supplies across the Khumbu Icefall. That will cut down on the crowds and save sherpa lives. Right now the rich people are basically outsourcing the biggest risks to the sherpas. This video shows a lot of tourists that aren't mountaineers and don't have basic climbing skills.

As much as I admire the climbing spirit, I still hope he gets his wish. It's hard to see these people repeatedly risking their lives while simultaneously watching their country's natural beauty deteriorate for a few dollars.
Blows my mind every time I see people do the most dangerous jobs in the world but have the biggest smiles on their face even though they make the smallest amounts of money. Not to mention even as an American I laugh every time I hear an American brag about summiting Mount Everest when the Sherpas do it multiple times a year or at the very least have done it multiple times in their lifetime😂😂. Climbing Mount Everest is almost like a d**k swinging contest for rich mountaineers. And I'm not trying to take away the amazing feat of climbing the second most dangerous mountain in the world because it is quite an amazing feat to have done so but you just see how much more humble the Sherpas are. And for anybody reading this comment yes as far as percentages go there is a more deadly mountain in Nepal than Mount Everest. Annapurna 1 is the most deadliest mountain in Nepal because of how steep the sides of the mountains are people have been crushed by boulders the size of cars ice blocks the size of cars avalanches. It's all around a way more deadly mountain than Mount Everest ever will be. Now technically Mount Everest has killed more people but the percent of people killed for every ten people that climb Annapurna 1 is whey higher than the percent of every ten people killed on mount Everest.
Yeah it's ridiculous and some of the bozos fall into crevasses or die of altitude sickness. For what! It's like other bozos who take selfies up high and end up going into eternity. Heaven or you know where. Some who have died on mountains have kids. It's selfish.

She posted a part 2 to her “K2 disaster” also recently, I love her and her border collies is the background.
No one can get pulled up that mountain. They can be assisted with fixed ropes and experienced guides- but once you start getting over aboot 6,000 meters it’s not physically possible for someone to pull another climber to the summit. This is one of the reasons why so many bodies are left on the mountain.
There's so many people making these climbs, that there's even infrastructure in place to let these tourists "glamp" while climbing Mt Everest. 😂 The climb now just doesn't feel as impressive as before, since rich tourists can pay their way to be dragged up the mountain. It's the Sherpas and the local community making this happen, that are the most impressive
hahahahahaha double the price god damn middlemen thats the issue man thats the damn issue man... if i have to pay and then you dont even do it ... the nepalese do it god this is sso wrong
There should be fitness tests akin to what Formula One drivers have to go through for anyone wishing to make the climb up Everest. Added with that should be summiting at least 50% of all mountains above 8,000 metres across the world, all before they even think about Everest.
Will this world ever be fair... Will people that run business ever be fair to their employees who do hard work... Will ever empathy not greed become a lead motivation for actions...
Nepal people are very lucky in India border area. Very beautiful place and very natural Nature for floating Tourist in all seasons. Survive. Cleaning wastage is very headache and very expensive.
Fly the supplies into the lower base camps. If food is that expensive, there is no way that its not economically viable. its 100% that people would visit as a tourist and do lower camp stages just to be on the mountain, not to climb to the top. If the base camps are properly supplied, than its a lot less demanding for the select few who do want to go all the way up. Maybe it takes away from the majestic, but they could obviously build fixed pathing into the bedrock that goes around the glaciers. It might take longer, but some people might like the lower risk of death....
Supplies are already flown and portered into the lower base camps. People do visit the lower base camps. Infact 95% of all visitors never go above the base camp but it only costs around 1k - 2K per person. There is also already somewhat fixed pathing but due to how many avalanches there are, only so much can be done.
@@WoahItsRuka Clearly not enough flying. Would you rather have limited supply of food/rice that cost $60+ cause they can't carry it up the mountain fast enough. Or as much food/rice as you wanted for $60+ a bag cause it was flown in? Although if done properly, I don't see how prices couldn't fall.
09:49 This is such a beautiful moment! Climbing Mount Everest is a dream for many, but it’s not just about reaching the summit-it’s about the journey. The high cost reflects the complexity of the expedition, from permits to specialized gear and expert guides. It’s a challenge that few can afford but many aspire to
If you cannot summit Everest on your own, then you should not attempt it whatsoever because that’s not a true mountaineer. Everest should be like it was in the glory days where summitting it was actually a massive human accomplishment, using Sherpas and pretty much only being accessible to the very rich, who could care less about the lives, they’re putting at stake along with the pollution they leave behind… It’s a fall from grace for anybody who consider them themselves mountaineer. Again, if you can’t do it by yourself, then don’t do it all work up to it if you can that’s the entire point of Everest.
something isnt adding up here. the amount the conpanies are charging conpared to the amount the people on the ground are making is a huge discrepancy. its easy to blame the climbers but lets be honest, the predatory companies who charge obscene amounts while paying peanuts are the problem
Because oxygen is very rare there and it's expensive to import. You have to import all your own oxygen and carry it with you either on your back or your sherpa.
Who stays at home on pretext of agencies get more money than the ones who risks everything? Just ban all adventure agencies related to mt.Everest... and directly contact Sherpas
10:27 is Guy Cotter, he is referenced in the movie Everest which is a real life story of his friend Rob Hall. Must watch before you even think of attempting the climb
couldnt they use drones to delivery supplies? some bigger ones can surely carry bags of rice for less money than 60 dollars? use helium balloons to get the heavy loads easier up the mountains?
The dont explore, they not climbing, they just following a native he doing most work putting his life at risk so people can take a selfie at top smh darn shame and most got more money than natives will ever see
Shame that Sherpas risk their lives to get inexperienced tourists up Everest. They need to institute prerequisites on mountaineering experience to filter out the "more money than brains" crowd.

Where is this something that is acceptable... if anyone in England or USA or Canada or Germany or Australia said they wanted to do a similar activity, would this be acceptable??? This is totally bullst. Stop supporting this activity now!
I find it ironic that there are those who make the summit and brag, but the Sherpas have summitted far more and are humble.
yeah no one's ever made this point in the past 20 yrs
Most is because they work doing this, while the ones who pay are doing this most for status.

Sherpa life hang on limit. Some people want its test but for sherpa its a survival thing.
So many bot comments…
I don't see a single bot comment.
Definitely. I reported a bunch of them.
@@2011blueman Look for the generic, comments that are not relevant to this video with all the included emojis. If you click on each of those profiles, the accounts were recently created.
great documentary. thank you
Good job Pravin 👏
41:10 $20 for the Northface ?
“I see green boots almost there”
If ya know you know.
Fvck, I love mountains and nature but I know I couldn’t because I have anxiety and my panic attacks are too bad. The death zone is so dangerous, bro your body starts to die. Also if y’all wanna see more about an infamous Everest disaster the channel “adventures gone wrong” posted a three part series. She posted a part 2 to her “K2 disaster” also recently, I love her and her border collies is the background.
Personally, I don't see the honor in being pulled up the mountain by guides.
Facts! Where’s the skill, adventure, risk…..if you’re being guided and with pre destined stops. Weak generation of hikers if you ask me.
No one can get pulled up that mountain. They can be assisted with fixed ropes and experienced guides- but once you start getting over aboot 6,000 meters it’s not physically possible for someone to pull another climber to the summit. This is one of the reasons why so many bodies are left on the mountain.
@@Dee-ye2dknice armchair commentary. Something tells me you wouldn’t even be able to make it to base camp
@@AndorranStairway I never made that claim😂.
@@Dee-ye2dk then cut the crap with the "weak generation of hikers"
i have a suggestion - ban climbing the Everest all together
What's the average age of people going up? I imagine all 50+ retirees with some $$.
You know what they say,... "Only a moron would climb to such peril". Truth.
Do humans have to destroy everything they touch?
4:34 Prime example of when you're a danger to not just yourself...
Wow posting this video same day as Inoxtag mount everest video is crazy coincidence
There's so many people making these climbs, that there's even infrastructure in place to let these tourists "glamp" while climbing Mt Everest. 😂 The climb now just doesn't feel as impressive as before, since rich tourists can pay their way to be dragged up the mountain. It's the Sherpas and the local community making this happen, that are the most impressive
So so Expensive for people and nature by claiming Sagaramatha 😊 love you from 🇳🇵
hahahahahaha double the price god damn middlemen thats the issue man thats the damn issue man... if i have to pay and then you dont even do it ... the nepalese do it god this is sso wrong
Great video
0:09 for many, it's the last adventure of their lifetime.
Life is only cheap when you stay home !!! And even then it’s expensive 😂
If one can even afford a decent home. 😂
Love these mountaineering ones
Lines going up Everest, like it's an amusement park ride.
Hour-long video just to say it's for the expedition and gear lol
Because it’s a for rich people.
Rich people systematically destroy all that is good.
And someone should vote for you? Geez you sound like an extremist
There should be fitness tests akin to what Formula One drivers have to go through for anyone wishing to make the climb up Everest. Added with that should be summiting at least 50% of all mountains above 8,000 metres across the world, all before they even think about Everest.
@22:33 - @22:37 Most important thing said in the piece
Will this world ever be fair... Will people that run business ever be fair to their employees who do hard work... Will ever empathy not greed become a lead motivation for actions...
If you “climb” Everest I’m not impressed, but I will thank you for stimulating the economy there.
Bruh, y’a un drapeau du Québec sur le mur à 28:20 ⚜️
Nepal people are very lucky in India border area. Very beautiful place and very natural Nature for floating Tourist in all seasons. Survive. Cleaning wastage is very headache and very expensive.
Fly the supplies into the lower base camps. If food is that expensive, there is no way that its not economically viable. its 100% that people would visit as a tourist and do lower camp stages just to be on the mountain, not to climb to the top. If the base camps are properly supplied, than its a lot less demanding for the select few who do want to go all the way up.
Maybe it takes away from the majestic, but they could obviously build fixed pathing into the bedrock that goes around the glaciers. It might take longer, but some people might like the lower risk of death....
Supplies are already flown and portered into the lower base camps. People do visit the lower base camps. Infact 95% of all visitors never go above the base camp but it only costs around 1k - 2K per person. There is also already somewhat fixed pathing but due to how many avalanches there are, only so much can be done.
@@WoahItsRuka Clearly not enough flying. Would you rather have limited supply of food/rice that cost $60+ cause they can't carry it up the mountain fast enough.
Or as much food/rice as you wanted for $60+ a bag cause it was flown in? Although if done properly, I don't see how prices couldn't fall.
Can't even watch this bullshit. Makes me sick what really is going on there.
So expensive many people pay with their lives!!! Now that's what you call EXPENSIVE!!!
09:49 This is such a beautiful moment! Climbing Mount Everest is a dream for many, but it’s not just about reaching the summit-it’s about the journey. The high cost reflects the complexity of the expedition, from permits to specialized gear and expert guides. It’s a challenge that few can afford but many aspire to
If you cannot summit Everest on your own, then you should not attempt it whatsoever because that’s not a true mountaineer. Everest should be like it was in the glory days where summitting it was actually a massive human accomplishment, using Sherpas and pretty much only being accessible to the very rich, who could care less about the lives, they’re putting at stake along with the pollution they leave behind… It’s a fall from grace for anybody who consider them themselves mountaineer. Again, if you can’t do it by yourself, then don’t do it all work up to it if you can that’s the entire point of Everest.
I mean.. you can climb it yourself just follow the guides and the other teams on the way up all the ropes are there the only thing is no 02
something isnt adding up here. the amount the conpanies are charging conpared to the amount the people on the ground are making is a huge discrepancy. its easy to blame the climbers but lets be honest, the predatory companies who charge obscene amounts while paying peanuts are the problem
31:50 If the helicopter ban is about getting a fairer deal for the porters. They should at least let them use quad bikes.
To the Nepalian government: make the climbers pass a test or get a climbing permit before allowing them to attempt climbing Everest
Carrying all that weight is going to destroy their back and knees.
youve been misinformed! do you really believe the body the body is that weak
It's been a status symbol for years now.
Because oxygen is very rare there and it's expensive to import. You have to import all your own oxygen and carry it with you either on your back or your sherpa.
Who stays at home on pretext of agencies get more money than the ones who risks everything?
Just ban all adventure agencies related to mt.Everest... and directly contact Sherpas
10:27 is Guy Cotter, he is referenced in the movie Everest which is a real life story of his friend Rob Hall. Must watch before you even think of attempting the climb
Yes his friend died there I would never climb Mount Everest we humans are not supposed to be there.
couldnt they use drones to delivery supplies? some bigger ones can surely carry bags of rice for less money than 60 dollars? use helium balloons to get the heavy loads easier up the mountains?
They should charge a million. There would still be enough millionaires with little egos who would do it.
2:58 weeks??🤔
Yes it takes a long time
U call it expensive ?? It's still cheap yet..
this is a repost no?
The dont explore, they not climbing, they just following a native he doing most work putting his life at risk so people can take a selfie at top smh darn shame and most got more money than natives will ever see
if it cost 100k where is all that money going? Why have a fee that pays the sherpa like a union
The calculations at the end make not much sense.
From Nepal 🇳🇵❤
Shame that Sherpas risk their lives to get inexperienced tourists up Everest. They need to institute prerequisites on mountaineering experience to filter out the "more money than brains" crowd.
Didn’t y’all post this already ???
You guys repeat the same sentences over and over just different rephrasing .
Ladies garment ka online business.. Pls bataye.. Challenges and solutions
What's the point of climbing Mt Everest? or any such mountains? Isn't it just to Flex
well... where else are you gonna find a museum of preserved poop and corpses? a niche market (London- Ripleys believe it or not museum has a framed dry turd with someone painted on it. iirc Marley, but i could be wrong)
Shows the selfishness of people. Disgusting for thrill seekers and the rich. Ugh
I'm retired at 27, went from Grass to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife, $35k biweekly and a good daughter full of love ❤️.....
I'm highly inspired.
Please spill some sugar about the bi-weekly stuff you mentioned.
I raised 75k and Christina Ann Tucker is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Christina A. Tucker is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!
Wow 😱 I know her too
Miss Christina Ann Tucker is a remarkable individual whom has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life.
I started with a miserly $1500. The results have been mind blowing I must say TBH!
< I know that woman(Christina Ann Tucker)
If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!
Maybe because it's the tallest mountain in the world. 0:24
Highest. Not tallest.
Dumb. Real climbers go elsewhere. This is for tourists.
Complain all you want, but the Sherpa people need tourism to survive.
Right, this has to stop - why are the Sherpa eating and sleeping alone and having to fend for themselves? Where is this something that is acceptable... if anyone in England or USA or Canada or Germany or Australia said they wanted to do a similar activity, would this be acceptable??? This is totally bullst. Stop supporting this activity now!
@@elysiumstarz
You really need to calm down.
You have very little clue what you’re talking about.
Learn to control your emotions.
This is what humans do to everything... Sherpas should be overpaid....
I am wondering how do they do pipi there, perhaps they use diapers?
These aging sherpas are demanding too much. Many younger fitter ones are willing to do their jobs for half the pay.
Can’t they just prepare for something safer, like Finnish Brutality? Though they will need to know how to shoot firearms tactically.
