I'm here after your other documentary about the K2 2008 tragedy. I must say yours are much more informative about all climbers who took part in each of the events. And objectively presented as well. I'm sure this took more time than the average for such documentaries, and it has definitely been noticed by lots of viewers.
Yah, watching again.. that bit at 8:45 and you see one of my favorite mountains, Chogolisa. Chogolisa with its flat top and looking like a wedge. And the Gondogoro Pass is near by it. Must admit, tho I doubt now it will happen, I have finally let go of any notion of climbing an 8k mountain but I harbor daydreams sometimes of 1) trekking the Gondogoro Pass and visiting the glaciers and seeing the big mountains and more like a dream 2) visiting into the Nanda Devi Sanctuary; it's quaint but I was taken absolutely reading the Erik Shipton writings, and some others, describing the wilderness and mountain and passes. I love looking at pictures and maps of Nanda Devi. And of most mountains. Anyway! Someone wrote something epic and tragic about an expedition to Chogolisa that stuck with me. It's got a history, for sure.
Little tip. Always overlay lettering by adding a different colored border to the letters, like they have them on quality subtitles (in anime for example). Like a black border around white lettering. This way, you can always clearly read the letters regardless of what colors are present in the images you have them layered over. Like in this case with images of the many snow covered mountain ranges and the white lettering. Hell, you can do white letters on a completely white background and still be able to read everything, by giving the letters a black border.
Thank you for this interesting video! I always like your way of storytelling, the great footage you choose to show the real situation and also your analyze of the tragedy. All your videos are worth to be seen if you are interested in mountaineering. Amazing!
Ok, comment 3 b/c this stuck with me... at about 26:50 "...Jeff came down the Black Pyramid. It was a harrowing effort. Peter Hilary and Matt Comsky* climbed up above the camp to meet him, and he just threw himself at them. He delivered himself, physically and psychologically, to them and they hugged him and got him down into the tent." You have a way of writing that is very touching. * I know the spelling is wrong!
They were excellent climbers but no matter how good you are you have to have luck with the weather too. So sad they made it to the top but were blown off the mountain.
You are no kidding. I'm in the opposite side of the world from these places but this channels really brings it in well. Going to start watching all of them soon!
Judging from all the videos that ive seen, most of the deceased climbers were married and had children. You have to be a selfish and narcissistic person to put a lousy mountain before your family. I guess their ego trumped their family. Pathetic.
I have to say....I really love your channel!!💗 I watch many, but you have the best voice to narrate this genre of tragedy video. I thank you for the hard work you put into each video. I am American and live vicariously through your videos. So, thank you so much for all you do!! God bless you and your family.✝️ 🤗 May God keep you safe and at peace during these strange, chaotic times.✝️🤗💗
I think you'd have better luck going over Niagara falls, not the American side with the huge boulders have way down, the Canadian side which is all water. Good luck
Just imagine if they hadnt climbed K2 they would all be ALIVE today! Im so glad I don't climb mountains. I love life and and all that it offers. Being ALIVE and well to me is more important than climbing any mountain! Life is amazing. You don't need to climb any mountain to realize this fact.
If you are scared of death then you will never feel alive. these people loved alpine climbimg. Of course there are dangers. Race car drivers, snowboarding, many other sports that bring you joy cand be deadly but people accept the inherent risk. Of course there are pansy like you that are boring to be around that do the same thing every day, every week of every year. Enjoy that long life buddy. Some people would rather self delete than spend years like that. These people died chasing their life's dream. Good for them.
Please stop calling these "disasters" or "tragedies". People who pay thousands of dollars for guides, equipment and training know damn well what they are getting themselves into even if they can't get out of it.😕
To be fair, more people succeed than fail on these mountains. We would need to normalize failure and death to not consider this anything but a tragic accident.
Turn on the captions. I’m almost completely deaf, but when I began losing my hearing 33 years ago, captions helped tremendously with accents, places I’d never heard of, etc.

Great storytelling! Fantastic photos. Your research is outstanding. I will have to watch this one again.
Awesome, thank you!

Great content and thank you for not showing a thousand pics of other mountains through this. I love your touch
Glad you enjoyed it!

If you don't know your never going to know. there are worse things in this life worse than death.
@@adamtheede2575 Get over YOURSELVES! Sherpas are fed up of trying to bring down your corpses in your failed attempts at machismo.

I Can hardly understand you. Your accent is very thick.

Guess I should’ve thought of that. Thank you
