What have I learned about mountaineering? The main thing is it does not matter if you’re a rookie or “professional/expert” you can die just as quick as the mountain wants you to
Most of the issue is the ''experts'' are not expert what so ever. The vast majority of the time people die on mountains is when its their first or second time climbing that mountain or when they are far past the age they should be for the endeavour. Just because you have climbed a few other mountains does not make you an expert on every mountain.
I can imagine myself in the Himalayas: “ wow, this is unbelievably beautiful. Do I want to go up? Are you crazy? I’m just gonna admire them from here.”
@@sendthis9480 I’m definitely not lazy, but I would much rather go hiking in Hawaii!! And I couldn’t and would not want to deal with the altitude! Just because you would rather hike in a much more beautiful area, and not need to worry about snow storms, frostbite, avalanches, hypothermia, or freezing to death!! Not lazy, just smart!!
@chicagogyrl4846 I seen every episode of I Shouldn't Be Alive, and that mf Dewey almost died hiking in Hawaii- that episode was rough. Im not hiking in the snow, the rain, OR the sun- they'll all kill you 😂
I trekked the Annapurna circuit in the Spring of 1986. We walked about 200 miles over about 12 days. It was almost 40 years ago but I can still remember it like it was yesterday. It's an amazing experience.
This is false sir reality is Mother Nature decides who lives and who dies up there. No mountaineer would climb any mountain if they were certain they’d die meaning they did not kill themselves it’s actually a very disrespectful comment to make considering the vast numbers of men and women who passed away chasing there dreams.
@@redblade8160Every climber knows the reality of climbing that high is that there is a possibility of dying. Just being up there you are slowly dying without any disasters happening. So whether they think they'll live or die they know death is a possibility. Don't be naive, you'll probably never been up anything high
Of all the channels that cover mountain disasters, yours is the only one I know of that has covered this. I had no idea that this mountain has such a body count. 😞
@@lindabrennan4455 yeah cool story. Uneducated af but cool story. Tell us about the body counts of the average 2000-3000m mountains in the alps. Please state sources aswell. Maybe you didnt know that mountains do actually exist outside of the Himalayas aswell. Sounds crazy but its true.
If you get hit by an avalanche in your home, i would call that tragic. To go to a place with avalanches and then getting hit by them, thats not tragic, thats plain stupid.
Can't imagine going to sleep and then waking up seconds before getting hit by a avalanche. Screw that. From sleeping soundly to wide awake and suffocating under snow.
Been to Sikkim and looked at Kangchenjunga. The highest mountain in India, bordering Nepal. These mountains require RESPECT and should not be a playground for egos and people with too much money. I also wish they would take their trash back down.
A few years ago I did the exact same trekking. I was alone and I went during spring. Very true that the toughest part is getting to Thorong LaPass. I had a mild headache and made it..I have low blood pressure. That might have helped plus God of course.
I noticed several very fast hikers turn around on Thorong La pass before they made it to the top. The altitude starts to get to some that high and you see a lot of tortoise and the hare type situations. Then some guy carrying six wooden crates with glass coke bottles go by in flip-flops. What views that place has, worth seeing it during the rhododendron bloom.
Sure look at how many people die walking down the road/going shopping/going to or hime from work by getting a bang of a car/truck/bus/van etc our lives can be taken at any moment by the choices we make and just end up being in the right place at the wrong time
Don't understand why people have the need to climb Everest, and the view can't be the driving factor. We have perfectly good photos from the summit all over the internet.
When your born and raised at sea level like most of us, these elevations are brutal on the human body, Sherpas are born and raised in these elevations. Base camp is high
I only go near Annapurna (or any another circle) route when I have money for a sherpa to be with me at all times. Just in case. And if there is even lowest risk for any bad weather, I am more than willing to pay shelter for me and sherpa. I would never ever climb to actual mountain.
Mountains are NOT asking for "sacrifices". They just stand there. It's humans who sacrifice themselves to these extreme sports knowing that the end could be a part of it but doing it anyway.
I was familiar with all of these but the Annapurna Circuit “disaster.” Fascinating, but tragic. Largely because many of the trekkers were unprepared. If there is one thing I have learned about the Himalayas, it’s that weather can NEVER be predictive. You might have an idea, but the stochastic process that is high altitude weather, means that even predictions which look certain, are not. Therefore, you must always be prepared for worst case scenarios, even when the circuit “says” you don’t need a tent and cold weather gear, you need to carry both.
I have done hiking in the Colorado (where i live), mountains but have enough common sense to not do it in the Winter months. People should think before they do these these things. I just can't feel sorry for the people who make these bad decisions.
We enjoyed our climbing in the Tetons. That was as high as I’m going! We were blasted by the change of weather just midway, lightning, hail which covered the trail forced us to take refuge in a bear’s den! I’m 86 years/o and done with climbing!
After seeing this video I myself I have decided that ,the highest thing I will climb on this earth is a tree and also to be specific the hardest tree that can not break easily. Thank you.
Please forgive me for sounding heartless and unsympathetic but perhaps I am. I feel sad that the horrible things happened to all those people. That being said, it is incomprehensible to me that people would attempt to climb a mountain in an unfamiliar land, completely unprepared for sudden weather changes and risk their lives. What is wrong with these people?
The hike doesn’t look all that great to me. I’d much rather go hiking in Hawaii, with the beautiful waterfalls and pools that you can swim in, and all the beautiful flowers! And no worries about a snowstorm!! 😂🤣
Those locals at Annapurna are utter scumbags for taking those people's money and promising to guide them, then abandoning them to die. They should've been arrested and jailed for attempted murder, or robbery at the very least.
I could see myself going no further than the 1st Everest base camp. I have no desire to risk my precious life to try and reach a mountian sumitt and possibly die on the way up or down. Im not critizing those that do, but im just saying that it's not my cup of tea
As a climber for now 24 years and pretty sure more skilled than the average Everest climber, i agree. Just because of the fact that there are so many aspects you cant control and that skill doesnt matter anymore if anything happens at that height.
I am absolutely blown away by the hubris of these people!! Human beings were not intended to live in a place where the air cannot support life!!! Yet they continue to climb into that space?? It is nothing short of insanity!! Especially when you have people who count on you to come home! I sincerely believe it is a form of mental illness! It is Utterly ridiculous to do this knowing that if you die up there, you stay forever disrespecting the purity of the mountain or risk the lives of others to retrieve your body! I find it quite selfish and I couldn't even sleep last night after watching this video!!
Hey Karen, how about minding your own business? How about letting others have passions you dont have? Just because you dont want to do it or doesnt understand it, doesnt mean that its a mental illness. But its nice to see how people with no inspirations in their own life, feel the need to judge others. Btw: The mountain doesnt care about its purity, it just stands there.
I feel the calling to the Himalayan mountains my soul feels it I’ve been watching videos of Everett and the surrounding mountains all 14 8,000ft since I was a kid too the only thing keeping me from going is that I’m middle class with middle class money 😂 I barely can even afford the thoughts of going lol
.... you can climb the highest mountain in the world, and some people will say to you when you tell them .... " so what " It's just not worth risking your very life for. 😏
Obviously we hear about tragedies happening in this sport. However never realized it has taken so many lives. Despite the best preparations and skill, seems like luck good or bad plays its part.
How callous can one be? How could you go on climbing and celebrate getting to the top after one of your fellow climbers just fell to their death? Jesus!! Seems to be a lot of narcissists become climbers. I find it unthinkable.
Extreme climbing CAN be narcissitic just many other top Level sports can be (even tho climbing Everest isnt Top Level Sport). You only see those extreme examples in those videos. I wouldnt have any desire to make the summit aswell if my friend died but after all, if you return or not, it doesnt change the fact that your friend died, as hard as it sounds. But in general, mountaineering is normally exactly the opposite of narcissitic, atleast its my experience in now 24 years of climbing
I personally prefer to watch Mount Everest on my mobile rather than going for an expedition as risk of Accidents are full hypothermia suffocating that's give me goose bump
When it's in your blood it's in your blood ❗️🩸❗️ People die every year in a motorcycle race called the *"Isles of Man"* . Last year, 2023 , six motorcycles died in that race.
I have to be in much better shape than the vast majority of climbers when I'm going up a mountain. Dragging a cooler of beer up a sheer vertical wall is hard assed work.
Loretan was not at all focused on becoming the 3rd climber to summit all fourteen 8,000m peaks, he couldn't care less. Chamoux on the other hand turned up to base camp with journalists in tow. His team arrived a couple of weeks after Loretan. Other climbers said that the French had not given themselves time to acclimatise. Chamoux wanted the 3rd ranking too badly and it cost him his life.
Even the easiest mountain has claimed many lives. What are these people thinking? Do they not understand deadly freezing temperatures, strong winds, avalanches, and heck, lack of oxygen? Do they think their body is as strong as superman, that they can overcome all this challenge? Seriously, just stay in the snow storm for a day, if they really want to challenge Hyperthermia that much.
Ah o lugar é lindíssimo,mas só pra admirar de longe. Afinal Everest o monte mais alto do mundo,o que significa que não é pra ninguém está lá. Mas o lugar é magnífico, mágico, surreal,ouvi dizer que Deus fez muito só com as palavras,mas este lugar acredito que ele pôs a mão.🙌 🩷
Any hiking at these altitudes is not easy!! You must stop a lot and get accustomed to the altitude! These people must have been absolute novices, and probably have never hiked like that in their lives! Why do they think that climbers spend time at the base camp camp, then at higher camps, when attempting Everest??! They probably didn’t even know that!!
I bet even an inexperienced person could survive if luck is with them. It has nothing to do with experience imho, the most experienced have perished and inexperienced have gone with guides. With some it is the guides that have perished and a handful of people they had with them made it. It is like drawing for sticks and a game of russian roullette.
The concept of sherpas is so sad. These people have no choice but to escort people who are not qualified up the mountain.. carrying ALL of their things for them. 9/10 sherpas wish they could get out of the job
People not only kill themselves in high altitudes but also kill the mountains by throwing waste and rubbish. Let the mountains remain .Enjoy their beuty from the down.
So many wrong advices Here Like dont Climb Mountains.. I mountaineer since nearly 20 Years and what Kills Most People is Bad Preparation (Gear ,Mentally and Physically) and underestimating the Nature own Physical Limits.
In the Himalayas, the number 1 cause of death is avalanches- which climbers have no control of whatsoever. At best you can maybe fancy yourself having an excellent eye for potential avalanche danger and try to stay in relatively safe places, but it only takes once 😒
@@poutinedream5066 Well,of Course we cant Control when an Avalanche will come First of all i think 99% of Mountaineers arent summiting the Himalayas...and even when ...No Matter If 6000Metres (my highest) or 8000....when you Start your Tour you know you can possibly die...even a 4000M Mountain can throw Something unpredictable at you which you cant survive . And this is nearly the importantest Skill you need...know when to turn around. The other Events Like an Avalanche ...Well its Part of the Deal. You know this before you Start your Adventure. And there are a few Mountains Like the K2 or (even relatively Dangerous) the Mont Blanc where the Chances of having deadly Events are so possibly high that you should avoid those Mountains. My Point was Just About the General Advice to completely Stay Away 😊👍
@diskuslars7527 That's interesting. I've watched so many mountaineering videos on YT, it begins to feel like if you not in the death zone, it dont count 🤣. I climbed Mt Pocono on summer camp when I was 12, and even then, I rode on a male counselors back (he was like 17 and we both got in trouble, it was a Christian camp, and surprise surprise, they were ones thinking about sex. I was just lazy, and he was up for the challenge of doing it with my 100 pounds on his back- we made it back down first and I was naive enough to expect 👏🏽🙌🏻🤜🏼🤝🏻🏆)- 😏 sorry, I digress. You'll never hear me calling Everest a nature hike or tourist attraction. I think a popular misconception has taken hold that because the Sherpas work so hard, that means it's easy. It doesn't sound like you're ego climbing, checking off locations, when all you're really thinking about is the day you can brag about climbing Everest or K2. I think people like that have already caught summit fever before they even got on the plane, and bad things are bound to happen. If everyone shared your logical, measured approach, I think the number of deaths would be much lower, especially in the Himalayas.
What have I learned about mountaineering? The main thing is it does not matter if you’re a rookie or “professional/expert” you can die just as quick as the mountain wants you to
Exactly. It makes the rules
Ong im thinking people will try to get to the top of a mountain just to slip and fall back down just let gravity play it course 😭
Absolutely terrifying 😢

Pretty sure she wrapped him in his and her sleeping bag because of the hypothermia.

Yes!! I rarely even leave the HOUSE!! It’s dangerous!
Really like your graphics. Makes it easier to see exactly what happened.
I've never had the call to hike up a deadly mountain. I do not have a death wish.

Maybe, just maybe because its their passion. Not so hard to find out

Finally someone said it. How can you even ask for money in that situation, they could easily have saved some lives
You are correct Sir! Are these locals of Sherpa descent?
No, Sherpa work harder, they do all physical labor. And some of them die. If tourists want to go, at least, Sharpa may make some money.
Mountaineering,I would say is adventurous.The weather,Etc.is another

It is going to get more crowded and slower many more will die. Just a graveyard for people with too much money and the sherpas who shlep them.
So the climbers talk about it calling to them and they can't deny it meaning that it's an addiction.
These people probably didn’t even dress properly, or even bring extra clothes, in case of snow!

Climb a Mountain? I made my dining room into a bedroom just so I didn’t have to climb the stairs 😂
Nobody is an expert in wild nature. If animals can't survive there... humans definitely can't!
So many wrong advices Here Like dont Climb Mountains..
I mountaineer since nearly 20 Years and what Kills Most People is Bad Preparation (Gear ,Mentally and Physically) and underestimating the Nature own Physical Limits.
In the Himalayas, the number 1 cause of death is avalanches- which climbers have no control of whatsoever. At best you can maybe fancy yourself having an excellent eye for potential avalanche danger and try to stay in relatively safe places, but it only takes once 😒
@@poutinedream5066 Well,of Course we cant Control when an Avalanche will come
First of all i think 99% of Mountaineers arent summiting the Himalayas...and even when ...No Matter If 6000Metres (my highest) or 8000....when you Start your Tour you know you can possibly die...even a 4000M Mountain can throw Something unpredictable at you which you cant survive .
And this is nearly the importantest Skill you need...know when to turn around. The other Events Like an Avalanche ...Well its Part of the Deal. You know this before you Start your Adventure. And there are a few Mountains Like the K2 or (even relatively Dangerous) the Mont Blanc where the Chances of having deadly Events are so possibly high that you should avoid those Mountains.
My Point was Just About the General Advice to completely Stay Away 😊👍
@diskuslars7527 That's interesting. I've watched so many mountaineering videos on YT, it begins to feel like if you not in the death zone, it dont count 🤣. I climbed Mt Pocono on summer camp when I was 12, and even then, I rode on a male counselors back (he was like 17 and we both got in trouble, it was a Christian camp, and surprise surprise, they were ones thinking about sex. I was just lazy, and he was up for the challenge of doing it with my 100 pounds on his back- we made it back down first and I was naive enough to expect 👏🏽🙌🏻🤜🏼🤝🏻🏆)- 😏 sorry, I digress. You'll never hear me calling Everest a nature hike or tourist attraction. I think a popular misconception has taken hold that because the Sherpas work so hard, that means it's easy. It doesn't sound like you're ego climbing, checking off locations, when all you're really thinking about is the day you can brag about climbing Everest or K2. I think people like that have already caught summit fever before they even got on the plane, and bad things are bound to happen. If everyone shared your logical, measured approach, I think the number of deaths would be much lower, especially in the Himalayas.
Route is pronounced ROOT not ROUT. Rout is when you get destroyed in battle!
No sympathy. Bulls/Horns. No man's land.
Do peope not know that its the deadliest mountain range in world?
I wanna go 🥺
Let’s find the most steep dangerous path 😅ok
Are they beautiful…sure I bet they are, do I want to go? Uhh no, no thanks
Wonder why she thought she was immune to danger?!
... oh wait. I know why
Thanks,
I don't pity these people respect nature and stay out of it
The two French climbers should have turned back if they had not summited by lunch hour.
I never see the point in mountain climbing, especially in snow, freezing conditions
I'll wait to go there after they build a road so I can drive up in my electric car
Thank god im not there
Not in a trillion years.
💚💙👍👍👏👏
I still say blood doping
Yes we go up by plane?? 😂😂
Ridiculous.
