Just to be clear. Lots of people stopped to help D. Sharp. They offered oxygen, attempted to move him etc. And the first team actually DID radio back to base camp about David. They followed the base camps orders both on their way up and on their way down. Several other groups attempted to help him. Even moved him into the sun to warm him up. The failure was in the communication.
I've heard this story a few times now. The failure started with David Sharp and ended with David Sharp. He may not have known his own limits but he sure knew the risks and he flippantly compounded them.
I feel like I come for the story but stay for the latest in obituaries. D Sharps plan for this almost seems incomprehensible? Why would you do that? Why?
Sharp was the architect of his own demise. Minimal oxygen (after first refusing supplemental oxygen altogether), minimal gear, no radio, no sherpa, climbing alone... every decision he made was a bad one. Why should smarter, better prepared climbers risk their lives to save someone who apparently had a death wish?
Because being human means looking out for one another, and putting the lives of others ahead of other goals such as summiting a mountain. So it's my view, and that of others such as Hillary, that in such a situation we as people are obliged to do our best to help someone in danger escape with their life.
@@whensomethingcriesagainI don’t understand your or Hillary’s complaints. People DID help Sharp. He wasn’t able to help himself. What more do you want? Sherpas stood him up, gave him O2, and tried to get him moving so they could get him down. Others stopped and gave him O2, offered encouragement, etc. That’s not nothing
@@EmiliaJay What more do I want? To abandon your summit push while there's someone in need. Simple as. I think this is a fundamental problem in mountaineering culture that we need to take a much more hardline stance on.
@@whensomethingcriesagain ok, let’s say climbers abandon their summit push (or stay with a person in need i.e. Doug Hansen and Rob Hall). The climbers have limited O2, are exhausted themselves from 1/3 the oxygen in the atmosphere, and don’t have the capability of carrying another person while attempting to descend ice walls, rock cliffs, etc. How are those climbers going to get the person down? How do you expect them to help?
The night Sharp died, the air pressure was so low that space descended upon Mt. Everest--that's how cold it got. There was no way anyone was going to get him down off that mountain and Edmund Hillary wouldn't know what he would have done in that situation bc no one had ever climbed that high on Everest for him to know what he would do. And to summit on the same day the Queen was crowned? He would have passed Sharp by, too.
David Sharp's death was nobody's fault but his and blaming a man with no legs is ridiculous! And many others tried to help him! Everyone knows the risk of climbing 8000 meter mountains!😡
Only know-nothing douche bags can believe a human can carry another human out of the death zone. The worst virtue-signaling exists with high altitude arm chair critics💀
As long as i have known or read about everest, it has always been said that if you can't or dont move on the mountain, you will die. There is no rescue up there, and you shouldn't expect others to risk their lives for you
I don't define people willing to go up on these mountains as "true greatness." True greatness is someone who sacrifices to do something for others or the greater good of society. I mean these climbers can do what they want, and at times i admire their bravery. I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just saying that they're not heroes for doing this. I think it's wasteful of human life but that's just my opinion. But true greatness is not achieved in pursuit of something solely to elevate self.
@@anniepal2012 I'm hooked on these videos too! So there's obviously something in the human spirit that yearns for these kinds of experiences. Not everyone does it but we're all fascinated by it. It would be so amazing if these people took all the money they were going to spend on going to Everest and went to Nepal to sponsor a particular family and live with them for a month and funnel that money to them. Just saying it would be really awesome to change the world instead of just changing your own world by climbing a mountain.

Nothing special or heroic about that. I liken them to addicts but worse in my opinion.
I don’t see how David Sharpe’s death is controversial. So many other climbers tried to be much safer and perished. They also couldn’t have been safely helped. If David wanted a better chance to live, he would have made better decisions. He knew the risks more than many who climb. This is just a result of his decisions. No one is responsible for his death but him.
Nah, the David Sharp "controversy" is and always had been bullshit. One doesn't get to pull the dumb shit he did at that altitude, then expect to be saved by others. Sharp did everything wrong, and with his experience level, that's unforgivable. He knew better and did all those things anyway.
No bottled oxygen and no sherpa in high altitudes is a recipe for disaster. However there seems to be no shortage of climbers that gladly accept that recipe. Don’t know the percentage, but many of those climbers have found their demise due to the obvious dangers. I am not a climber and wouldn’t dare to speak on conditions someone would encounter as all the dangerous elements one would suffer before sub coming to them.
In the last segment, about the most difficult K2 route, you mention a group of climbers who did it in 1986 for the first time. Would be interesting if you could do video about that event/ or just mention their names. Thanks for another great video.
I don’t think anyone could do anything for David at that altitude at that point. There is no way anyone could pick him up and carry him down the mountain. Also sitting with him until he finally died is also very dangerous as everyone at that altitude has very limited time and oxygen to spare for sitting down before you will simply not be able to get up again. So I would not blame any of the climbers that stopped only briefly to check and then continued. There was nothing they could do without putting their own lives at serious risk. He knew that what he was doing was very risky and took that risk and paid for it, I don’t think anyone is to blame but himself 🤷♀️
This Man's family should ask themselves something would he have sat down next to someone and not let them die alone would he have helped someone down the mountain before summiting?? If course he wouldn't have!
Very true… I’m thinking that’s why he waved them off he knew he was screwed by his own doing. But of course the family wants to blame someone instead of accepting reality.
21:50 So he climbed alone without communicating with anyone & without proper equipment, & complete strangers are being blamed for his death how? C’mon.
you can't abandon someone you weren't with to begin with. That's like saying a hitchhiker standing by the side of the road froze to death because every driver that passed him abandoned him. Ridiculous! Plus anybody who gets upset that someone didn't stop and help him let me ask you one question. Do you think he would have stopped and helped anybody including a man with no legs? Of course he wouldn't when you climb Everest you take your chances at a certain point you're on your own
I have listened to several video presenters about climbing the 8000ers and I have to tell you I enjoy yours more than most. You keep the stories moving along and don't drowned tour presentation with too loud, annoying music. I sincerely appriciate it and have subscribed.
NO one is obligated to rescue anyone in that altitude. Especially a cheapskate that did everything possible to pay as little as possible. So it's on him he got in that predicament. Brought it upon himself.
And saying that he was "abandoned" is incorrect in my opinion. To even use the word abandoned implies there was an obligation for someone else to bring him down the mountain if he got in trouble. There isn't, and it's close to impossible to bring someone else down the mountain when they are incapacitated. But there's certainly an obligation to stop, provide comfort, check on the person and see if it's possible to get them down. Sounds like many people did that.
@@Justicia007abandoning someone means you were together you can't abandon someone if you weren't with them to begin with. That's like saying a guy was hitchhiking and he was sitting by the side of the road and no one picked him up so every driver that passed the hitchhiker abandoned them. Ridiculous!
@@susanlett9632 Exactly! And the fact is a lot of people stopped and checked on this guy and tried to help him but he was beyond help. He refused to use oxygen, didn't have all the proper equipment and unfortunately there was no saving him at that point.
Kudos to you for being the first channel to tell the David Sharpe story accurately. The guy was a crappy climber. It doesn’t make what happen right, but that is why it happened. He had no business being up there. Never did.
Re: the David Sharpe story: you said that David spent 5 days in acclimatization trips. Is that even enough? I thought climbers usually take weeks to acclimatize.
I repeatedly heard the term “conquer” in describing summiting a mountain. But is that truly conquering it? Part of the high death toll on these climbs could have to do with this mentality. My opinion is that instead of approaching a climb as something to vanquish we attempt to be harmonious with the mountain- not an adversarial conquest.
I'm never going to freeze on a mountain or get stuck in a cave or get eaten by a great white shark but I love watching other dummies that aren't afraid of these things
This is just not true, many climbers offered him oxygen, which did not help. And tried to motivate him to get up. But Sharp gave up, what were they supposed to do?
Hey pal I'm from the mid coast I'm out plowing now I got six or 8 left we got alot more snow than was forecasted that's for fucking sure lol. I also cut wood and fish lobster we mainers r hard working boys for sure. Hope ur warm with a cold beer n a joint my friend
I just don’t understand the outrage about choosing not to put your life on the line for other climbers. Everyone there knows the risk they’re taking, right? I mean, I still think you ought to do what you can, but this isn’t the environment for heroics unless you are very exceptional. Most people who climb Everest aren’t. Even the best climbers in the world can fall prey to these mountains. What do people really expect others to do to help in a place called “the death zone”? It wasn’t a lack of assistance that killed David Sharp; it was his pride. He went alone, he tried with minimum oxygen, no radio, and no Sherpa.
Could have but I think it was pure arrogance… because that was def a suicide mission. Life has a way of humbling us all at some point, maybe he overestimated his limits as a human versus nature 🤷🏽♀️
David Sharpe doesn’t sound like he gave himself a chance to survive by choosing not to use oxygen, not bringing a radio or food or water. Sounds like suicide honestly 😏
Okay random editorial note. The word you keep saying ‘compromised’ which means- to settle a dispute by mutual concession. is not the correct word! Youre looking for the word ‘comprised’ meaning- to consist of; be made up of.
You are correct. Although, ironically, another meaning of ‘compromise’ refers to the acceptance of standards than is lower than desirable. That meaning seems quite apt here.
No, oxygen. Partners, went another route... All, of her studies, experience, accomplishments, means nothing. Those, are decisions Anyone, doing that. Lacks, respect for their craft, education, mountain and self. The guilt and regrets of teammates, speak volumes. Thank you, for your coverage.
We all understand personal goals.. but us normal see this >>> hey all my friends have died climbing, can someone watch my kids and family while I go climb a mountain, and can someone loan me $65,000 for my death adventure ?
I always find the keyboard warriors funny and the media in general when they say oh its controversial that people walked past David Sharp. I mean its not kindergarten. You cant wrap people in bubble wrap. Theres no roadside assistence. Its hostile, deadly, they go up there willingly risking their life, its nobody elses fault that they're dead. Also technically, they have oxygen saturations of like 65 percent up there, people take two steps and stop to catch their breath for 5 minutes, they cant be expected to drag an 80kg body down its just rediculous to expect someone to kill themselves dragging a guy down who's probably dead already.
Agree with this obvious logic that I’m not sure why and how people don’t get! This isn’t a case of The Bystander Effect! And David did everything possible to ensure he would fail. And like you said, it’s critical life or death by slim margins for people at that altitude already. I am positive if it was possible- the people up there that day would have helped 100%.
I think it's hilarious that a man that happened to be the first to summit Everest in 53 and never climbed any other peaks, has a valid opinion on how people are supposed to act in the death zone..
It’s wild, if you google both their names separately the same pictures come up for both as if they are the same person, which they clearly are not. But I can understand the confusion.
I am SO SICK of hearing about the “CONTROVERSIAL DEATH” of this guy. He was a very experienced climber who made FOOLISH and RECKLESS decisions that got him killed! His DEATH is his FAULT! I’m also DISGUSTED at how the poor Indian climber would become a landmark called GREEN BOOTS… who died during that horrific 1996 storm that killed numerous climbers. He died because he got stuck in a deadly storm NOT BECAUSE he was arrogant and stupid. Yet nobody moved him off the trail… they further dehumanized this man by not even bothering to learn his name instead calling him GREEN BOOTS! Where is the outrage over this? The message I’m getting is the MOUNTAINEERING COMMUNITY only care about your TRAGIC DEATH if you’re not a WHITE WESTERNER!
Bingo and we have a winner 🏆!! Chuck tell him what his prize is!! You sir win the humanitarian non asshole award!! 🥂🍾🎊 may you be blessed with love, longevity and prosperity ❤✌🏾
The slow painful death of the English language. Apparently, David Sharp's team was compromised from the beginning. According to the video, it was compromised by five members, as opposed to comprised of five members. If you think the death of proper speech is minor or irrelevant, I encourage you to check out the histories of great civilizations and the things that lead to their eventual demises. There are typically many causes, but a few of them are present in every case. Apparently, every team that has gone up these mountains has been compromised by the number of members. No wonder why these things ended in disasters. They should comprise their teams, not compromise them. Public education, on full display.
These guys are idiots so a compromise of climbers is the correct collective noun here. David Sharp had a delirious conversation with Charles Darwin shortly before icing up. Also Houdini.
My family will never have to mourn my dead body froze on Mt Everest. I am also not likely to be eaten by a shark or throne to my death from a roller coaster.
WOW! I never knew how selfish with excuses as to why nobody helped the man who dies on the mountain. A mountain has no feelings doesn't care if you live or die. But it makes me feel, like a whole person if I climb it. You know what else makes you feel this way? Your family & loved one's. Mommy, what happened to father? Well. Son. He thought climbing this mountain would make him feel complete. His family, us, or the mountain. His selfish choice killed him. Not the mountain.
Multiple Sherpas and climbers stopped and tried to help David Sharpe....he was unresponsive and could not stand...he was even given oxygen.....he committed mountain self deletion ....check your facts brev...
I just found myself saying out loud with a sarcastic tone… and in a male voice (im a girl) “I’m going to doing everything as unsafe as possible.” I mean C’MON DAVID!!!! (Sharp) Unbelievable Really stupid Sorry but true!
I enjoy your videos TT… but ENOUGH ALREADY! Please stop giving credence to the MYTH other people are to blame for Sharps death. Did he tell his mother he would climb with NO RADIO?!? I’ll bet FEW of those 40 climbers had his experience and you can’t HELP someone else when you’re barely able to help yourself!
What are your sources? How are you recounting small details of David's climb that are not documented or known by anyone? Lastly, your account is not at all correct for the climbers passing by -many attempted to help -so how do you invent little details and then totally miss large ones?
Small thing but you keep saying "compromised" instead of comprised. So close but total different meanings. David's death was a result of a series of arrogant decisions made by David himself.
What did Nadya accomplished? She died young, irresponsible. What does she hold in her hand in eternity, that she had climbed some mountains? Worthless for God.
I feel sorry for Mr Sharp and his family. There would be no question what I would have done. If I was not in danger of imminent death, I would have done everything to save him. Wouldn't matter if I didn't summit. Saving a life is a much better accomplishment . If nothing else besides empathy and compassion, they should have looked at it this way. He was unfortunate to have selfish hard hearted people pass him that day. Thinking , "well he is almost dead anyway so we can go on to find glory" is unfathomable.
He would have done the same thing to them and you know it! If you took an excursion on a white water rafting trip and everybody was told to wear a life jacket and one person said I don't want to wear one. Everyone was told you have to know how to swim and the same person said I don't want to learn how to swim. If every person was told to make sure that they had a little raft with them a little inner tube that inflated and he said I don't want one. And then the raft hits really really rough White Waters burst and everybody's fighting for their lives and this guy's in the middle of the river screaming help me are you going to try to help him at the risk of your own life? And if your answer is yes then I have another question to ask you. Are you helping every homeless person you see and giving them money to live? Are you doing everything to save people in your own neighborhood right now are you doing everything to save people in your own city or county right now? And you can say I wouldn't care. if you spent 50 or $60,000 to climb! Do you have a car sitting in your driveway that you paid $40,000 for? why don't you go sell it and go feed some homeless people or set them up in an apartment you know it'll save their life. If you're not doing any of those things then I you're talking out of your rear end
You can’t be serious in calling those ppl selfish when David did everything he could to make that a suicide mission for himself. Where is the self accountability for him that you somehow missed? Was his life more valuable than anyone else’s? I answer that for you, no absolutely not!! Tell us what would you have done to save him from that altitude? Let’s not kid ourselves there is absolutely nothing heroic about any of these ppl. Most of them leave spouses and children behind after spending a fortune on a hobby. They don’t climb in the name of science or anything noble as a matter of fact!! It’s all about ego and bragging right that absolutely no one cares about but them and you 😂. Play stupid games win stupid prizes 🤷🏽♀️
need to fix your commentary bro, 40 climbers did not pass by and do nothing according to your own story, feel like I just wasted 20 min since I didnt stick around
Poor David had to realize the hard way about 99.9999% of people. They will all step on you or over you, to get what they want. Life isn't all Sugar and Spice and Unicorn farts....and he wasn't a very seasoned climber....obviously.
I don’t see how he could have possibly been saved. Sounds like he was on a suicide mission from his own choices, I think he would have done the same to anyone in that position. The man refused to prepare even in the most basic ways that he should have and paid the price. Whether it was arrogance or overconfidence we will never know.
Victim?? I don't think you know what a victim is. A victim is someone who is the has a crime committed against them or who has been violated by someone or hurt by someone or something that they didn't cause. THAT'S what a victim is. If I were to get dead drunk and get in my car and drive and get in an accident and kill someone am I a victim of drunk driving? The person I hit and killed is a victim I'm not a victim.
Before someone passes fro hypothermia they feel euphoric and have literally no worries.David Sharp most likely shunned people away and stayed where he was because he was happy yet delirious and unaware he was about to die and while in this euphoric state he went to sleep and passed.Although he didnt prepare properly us HUMANS dont always have to shrug our shoulders and say tough luck.Over 40 people saw him and only 2 or 3 really tried to help him but people are basically selfish as hell on those mountains and say "whatever🙄" 🧗♀🧗♀🧗♂ and keep it moving, even if they have enough oxygen and not fatigued or frostbitten.People make mistakes and miscalculate all the time.That dosnt mean they should be left for dead by 40 something people.
![Chris Langan - The Interview THEY Didn't Want You To See - CTMU [Full Version; Timestamps]](/img/n.gif)
David went up without oxygen, no sherpas, no companions, no radio.
Result: No David.

It wasn’t a lack of assistance that killed David Sharp; it was his pride. He went alone, he tried with minimum oxygen, no radio, and no Sherpa.
It may have already been written but a book on ethics could be written using Mount Everest scenarios.
You’re the best!!
I wonder if anyone knows if David had mental health issues? it seems like he was trying to pass away out there
Could have but I think it was pure arrogance… because that was def a suicide mission. Life has a way of humbling us all at some point, maybe he overestimated his limits as a human versus nature 🤷🏽♀️
I wouldn't call a 31-minute video a marathon, lol. It's a compilation, don't you think?
David Sharpe doesn’t sound like he gave himself a chance to survive by choosing not to use oxygen, not bringing a radio or food or water. Sounds like suicide honestly 😏
Hearing this story I have the same thought. Why would someone who knows better than this, choose to do it this way?
Okay random editorial note. The word you keep saying ‘compromised’ which means- to settle a dispute by mutual concession. is not the correct word! Youre looking for the word ‘comprised’ meaning- to consist of; be made up of.
I figured it was a misread from the script the first time. The second time I realized he doesn't know the meaning of the word at all. Smh
You are correct. Although, ironically, another meaning of ‘compromise’ refers to the acceptance of standards than is lower than desirable. That meaning seems quite apt here.
Oh, thank you jeebus! Been searching for this comment!
I'm happy to report that I am alive...😊
Me too glad to hear it 😃
😮😮😮@@ComettableMabel
Good James....right? 😅
Good job!
You ll always be alive, the question? Where s your eternity.
No, oxygen. Partners, went another route... All, of her studies, experience, accomplishments, means nothing. Those, are decisions
Anyone, doing that. Lacks, respect for their craft, education, mountain and self.
The guilt and regrets of teammates, speak volumes.
Thank you, for your coverage.
Am I the only one who finds it comfusing that you climb a mountain to honour someone's death and have someone else die in the attempt?
He CLEARLY did not know what he was doing. IMO, just foolish.
I love your marathon videos, but I have to say it. It's "comprised", not "compromised" (in the context you are using it).
David seemed to be underdressed every time. He was overconfident.
These ppl really get off on not using oxygen which is so asinine and egotistical it’s disgusting 🤮. Life has a way of humbling us all 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you for your interesting mountain climbing videos. The scenery is beautiful but I prefer to not climb 🧗♀️ 😂.
Anyone wanting to climb a mountain like K2, and knowing the danger of several hundred other climbers? Let em go, fk em….
We all understand personal goals.. but us normal see this >>> hey all my friends have died climbing, can someone watch my kids and family while I go climb a mountain, and can someone loan me $65,000 for my death adventure ?
Exactly 😂😂😂😅
I always find the keyboard warriors funny and the media in general when they say oh its controversial that people walked past David Sharp. I mean its not kindergarten. You cant wrap people in bubble wrap. Theres no roadside assistence. Its hostile, deadly, they go up there willingly risking their life, its nobody elses fault that they're dead. Also technically, they have oxygen saturations of like 65 percent up there, people take two steps and stop to catch their breath for 5 minutes, they cant be expected to drag an 80kg body down its just rediculous to expect someone to kill themselves dragging a guy down who's probably dead already.
Agree with this obvious logic that I’m not sure why and how people don’t get! This isn’t a case of The Bystander Effect! And David did everything possible to ensure he would fail. And like you said, it’s critical life or death by slim margins for people at that altitude already. I am positive if it was possible- the people up there that day would have helped 100%.
I think it's hilarious that a man that happened to be the first to summit Everest in 53 and never climbed any other peaks, has a valid opinion on how people are supposed to act in the death zone..
Please do your research, Lincoln Hall survived his everest climb in 2006, so why is his picture (yellow/black cloth) shown as being of David Sharp?
RIP lincoln
It’s wild, if you google both their names separately the same pictures come up for both as if they are the same person, which they clearly are not. But I can understand the confusion.
Would you get on a plane with 200 passengers knowing that one out of every four would die before the plane landed? I wouldn’t but that’s just me.
Those intro's are a bit to long but great video's overall
I couldn't go any farther than the ice wall with that ladder. 😮
I don't get the controversy of David Sharpe. If you cant walk at that altitude, you're dead. Nobody can save you.
Story telling with many mostly unconnected media added.
TH-cam is 99.9999% AI videos
Do the heights add up to about 42km to constitute a marathon?
Comprised.
i rarely hear my name in stories, i kept catching myself confused as to why my name was being repeated lol
schizophrenia
@@OwO---Drunk_Seulgi---OwO😂😂😅
31 minutes is a marathon??
Can't you guys make caves inside the mountain to rest? Like it can be used for ages?
I am SO SICK of hearing about the “CONTROVERSIAL DEATH” of this guy. He was a very experienced climber who made FOOLISH and RECKLESS decisions that got him killed! His DEATH is his FAULT! I’m also DISGUSTED at how the poor Indian climber would become a landmark called GREEN BOOTS… who died during that horrific 1996 storm that killed numerous climbers. He died because he got stuck in a deadly storm NOT BECAUSE he was arrogant and stupid. Yet nobody moved him off the trail… they further dehumanized this man by not even bothering to learn his name instead calling him GREEN BOOTS! Where is the outrage over this? The message I’m getting is the MOUNTAINEERING COMMUNITY only care about your TRAGIC DEATH if you’re not a WHITE WESTERNER!
I agree calling that guy green boots and not even bothering to see who he was is pretty disgusting
Bingo and we have a winner 🏆!! Chuck tell him what his prize is!! You sir win the humanitarian non asshole award!! 🥂🍾🎊 may you be blessed with love, longevity and prosperity ❤✌🏾
First comment or something silly like that
Replying to the first comment also and too, in addition that as well
Random word of the day: sphincter
The slow painful death of the English language. Apparently, David Sharp's team was compromised from the beginning. According to the video, it was compromised by five members, as opposed to comprised of five members. If you think the death of proper speech is minor or irrelevant, I encourage you to check out the histories of great civilizations and the things that lead to their eventual demises. There are typically many causes, but a few of them are present in every case.
Apparently, every team that has gone up these mountains has been compromised by the number of members. No wonder why these things ended in disasters. They should comprise their teams, not compromise them. Public education, on full display.
These guys are idiots so a compromise of climbers is the correct collective noun here.
David Sharp had a delirious conversation with Charles Darwin shortly before icing up.
Also Houdini.
The word is comprised NOT compromised
I know packing light is crucial but you gotta bring a gps … the fuq man
My family will never have to mourn my dead body froze on Mt Everest. I am also not likely to be eaten by a shark or throne to my death from a roller coaster.
WOW! I never knew how selfish with excuses as to why nobody helped the man who dies on the mountain. A mountain has no feelings doesn't care if you live or die. But it makes me feel, like a whole person if I climb it. You know what else makes you feel this way? Your family & loved one's. Mommy, what happened to father? Well. Son. He thought climbing this mountain would make him feel complete. His family, us, or the mountain. His selfish choice killed him. Not the mountain.
👍🐿😎
Looks like on these remote mountain wastelands its every man for himself.
Multiple Sherpas and climbers stopped and tried to help David Sharpe....he was unresponsive and could not stand...he was even given oxygen.....he committed mountain self deletion
....check your facts brev...
i guess its in some and not others ...lol....you could not pay to be there.
What is that? Stupidity? 😂
Yeah I would say most of us has better sense than to frivolously risk our lives for no reason at all 🤦🏾♀️
I just found myself saying out loud with a sarcastic tone… and in a male voice (im a girl) “I’m going to doing everything as unsafe as possible.”
I mean C’MON DAVID!!!! (Sharp)
Unbelievable
Really stupid
Sorry but true!
I enjoy your videos TT… but ENOUGH ALREADY! Please stop giving credence to the MYTH other people are to blame for Sharps death. Did he tell his mother he would climb with NO RADIO?!? I’ll bet FEW of those 40 climbers had his experience and you can’t HELP someone else when you’re barely able to help yourself!
What are your sources? How are you recounting small details of David's climb that are not documented or known by anyone? Lastly, your account is not at all correct for the climbers passing by -many attempted to help -so how do you invent little details and then totally miss large ones?
Mountain climbing is a suicidal endeavor.
Small thing but you keep saying "compromised" instead of comprised. So close but total different meanings. David's death was a result of a series of arrogant decisions made by David himself.
What did Nadya accomplished? She died young, irresponsible. What does she hold in her hand in eternity, that she had climbed some mountains? Worthless for God.
Badass but did not touch.
I feel sorry for Mr Sharp and his family. There would be no question what I would have done. If I was not in danger of imminent death, I would have done everything to save him. Wouldn't matter if I didn't summit. Saving a life is a much better accomplishment . If nothing else besides empathy and compassion, they should have looked at it this way. He was unfortunate to have selfish hard hearted people pass him that day. Thinking , "well he is almost dead anyway so we can go on to find glory" is unfathomable.
He would have done the same thing to them and you know it! If you took an excursion on a white water rafting trip and everybody was told to wear a life jacket and one person said I don't want to wear one. Everyone was told you have to know how to swim and the same person said I don't want to learn how to swim. If every person was told to make sure that they had a little raft with them a little inner tube that inflated and he said I don't want one. And then the raft hits really really rough White Waters burst and everybody's fighting for their lives and this guy's in the middle of the river screaming help me are you going to try to help him at the risk of your own life? And if your answer is yes then I have another question to ask you. Are you helping every homeless person you see and giving them money to live? Are you doing everything to save people in your own neighborhood right now are you doing everything to save people in your own city or county right now? And you can say I wouldn't care. if you spent 50 or $60,000 to climb! Do you have a car sitting in your driveway that you paid $40,000 for? why don't you go sell it and go feed some homeless people or set them up in an apartment you know it'll save their life. If you're not doing any of those things then I you're talking out of your rear end
You can’t be serious in calling those ppl selfish when David did everything he could to make that a suicide mission for himself. Where is the self accountability for him that you somehow missed? Was his life more valuable than anyone else’s? I answer that for you, no absolutely not!! Tell us what would you have done to save him from that altitude? Let’s not kid ourselves there is absolutely nothing heroic about any of these ppl. Most of them leave spouses and children behind after spending a fortune on a hobby. They don’t climb in the name of science or anything noble as a matter of fact!! It’s all about ego and bragging right that absolutely no one cares about but them and you 😂. Play stupid games win stupid prizes 🤷🏽♀️
Why DON'T YOU SHOW THE REAL CLIMBS???
need to fix your commentary bro, 40 climbers did not pass by and do nothing according to your own story, feel like I just wasted 20 min since I didnt stick around
These are mostly repeated stories. 🤷🏼♀️
That's what a compilation is.
Hiking poles (aka trekking poles) are like training wheels on a bicycle. If you need them you haven't really learned to ride.
Don’t bother watching. Yet another crap video of random clips stick together.
Poor David had to realize the hard way about 99.9999% of people. They will all step on you or over you, to get what they want. Life isn't all Sugar and Spice and Unicorn farts....and he wasn't a very seasoned climber....obviously.
I don’t see how he could have possibly been saved. Sounds like he was on a suicide mission from his own choices, I think he would have done the same to anyone in that position. The man refused to prepare even in the most basic ways that he should have and paid the price. Whether it was arrogance or overconfidence we will never know.
Just read the comments. How shameful!!! Blaming the victim. Yes, he made a terrible mistake but should not have lost his life over it.
Victim?? I don't think you know what a victim is. A victim is someone who is the has a crime committed against them or who has been violated by someone or hurt by someone or something that they didn't cause. THAT'S what a victim is. If I were to get dead drunk and get in my car and drive and get in an accident and kill someone am I a victim of drunk driving? The person I hit and killed is a victim I'm not a victim.
Before someone passes fro hypothermia they feel euphoric and have literally no worries.David Sharp most likely shunned people away and stayed where he was because he was happy yet delirious and unaware he was about to die and while in this euphoric state he went to sleep and passed.Although he didnt prepare properly us HUMANS dont always have to shrug our shoulders and say tough luck.Over 40 people saw him and only 2 or 3 really tried to help him but people are basically selfish as hell on those mountains and say "whatever🙄" 🧗♀🧗♀🧗♂ and keep it moving, even if they have enough oxygen and not fatigued or frostbitten.People make mistakes and miscalculate all the time.That dosnt mean they should be left for dead by 40 something people.
