You are the TH-cam King of Mountaineering Disasters. Im continually impressed by the quality of your dialogue,. narration and editing. You deserve more subscribers. Keep up the good work.
@@XJapanGonnaGiveItToYa-cd4xj Very few people have no family at all - if you're young and fit enough to tackle Annapurna you'll likely have parents, aunts, uncles, siblings and friends... If you have a partner and kids, I can't see how this kind of expedition could ever be justified. I have friends who lost their partner or their parent to the mountains, and the impact is devastating.
@@shwetadeshpande8374 You are misunderstanding. It's unfair for mountaineers to choose to put themselves in such extreme danger when their deaths will cause such devastation to family and friends - especially if they have kids. I'd have thought that my meaning would be obvious to any normally intelligent person?
I read the book “Annapurna, First Conquest of an 8000-meter Peak” by Maurice Herzog, Leader of the French Himalayan Expedition. Published 1953. It was very interesting with so much detail including fold out maps. They had frostbite so badly on the return that it was hard to read, partly due to lost gloves, but mostly due to the treacherousness of Annapurna. A recommended read.
The death rate is crazy high, but it isn't 1 in 3 who try to summit, nor is it 1 in 3 who actually summit. It's the total number of summits v. the total number of deaths. So if you decide to climb the mountain your chance of summiting is 3 times as high as your chance of dying - again, a crazy high ratio. But it isn't what some commenters are saying it is.
Thanks *TT* for an honest, understated and thoughtfully presented documentary of this expedition. I particularly appreciate that you're not just cashing in by setting up a channel with AI, which we are being inundated with. They're always too wordy and it seems there's only so many 'voices' that are supplied so I can't figure out which channel I am listening too. As soon as I realise they're AI generated, I stop watching.
I am amazed by the people who climb these mountains! Is this really how they want to die? They know there is that risk every time you climb. But is that really how one wants to leave this earth? Like I said, these climbers amazed me. It has to be born in a person to like "hobbies" like this. This is so extreme! You are fabulous storey teller! This story was very moving. My heart goes out to their families.
No mountain climber sets out on a journey intending to die. These people are in a class of individuals that you or I cannot understand. Adventure beckons them and they cannot resist the call.
@kamakaziozzie3038 You are absolutely right! It's just amazing to me how strong these individuals are. So totally focused. They have to be. But it is also sad when they don't come back.
There’s a void in every mountaineer that has to be filled. Behind every smile you can sense sadness. Not all are like that. But most I know are. I climb to experience God’s creation.
I was a part of a crew of 4 who rowed across the Atlantic Ocean un-supported. More people have walked on the surface of the moon and lived. I never touched an oar before or since. 36 days was enough rowing for one lifetime for me. I'm an addict. I found it emotionally and mentally relaxing once you got your body into the rythmn. Fear was there yes. Your days and nights were planned. No bills to pay 💰 No one bitching at you. Normal daily life struggles is what tweeks me. Orca was the name of our rowboat 🚣 You can google and check my story . Happy New Years and God Bless ya all ❤🙏🏼🫵🏽
It's sad to think about what they might've gone through during their last moments. After all, since they were conscious at the start of their falls, there's a risk they could've been aware about their imminent end all the way down to wherever they ended up, unless they hit something making them unconscious on the way.
Sad thinking about it. It feels weird and unethical, but when I hear of mountaineering deaths I always hope it was cerebral edema or hypothermia. Can’t bare the fact of being cognizant of your impending demise. Love the book Roadside Picnic/movie Stalker. Feel like K2 and Annapurna are those spaces. Alternate realities for those who dare enter
💯. Not a mountaineer but love hiking. Nearly done with all of Colorados 14ers. Every time I scramble a ridge with thousand foot drops on each side I feel the most alive I heav ever felt. Fully present. I guess it’s my addiction… I understand the calling. I do my best to mitigate risk, but make no mistake about it; climbing, mountaineering, and level 4 scrambling are inherently selfish activities. I’m single and in my 20s. My brother used to join me but quit as soon as his son was born. I hope I have that rationality. Being fully present for your child is more impressive than any solo feet.
Listen man I loved the video. It was really well made but I you made a mistake at 3:05 its not 1 in every 3 people who TRY to summit who die, but rather for every 2 people who summit 1 person who tried dies. It's a death per summit ratio not a death per attempt ratio.
Nah .. not every one successfully summits an attempt. The statistic is 1 in 3 who begin this adventure does not make it out alive. That is a terrible statistic. It’s Russian Roulette style human sacrifice .. the price paid for Bragging Rights. Absolutely an egotistical pursuit. I wonder how they rationalize that sacrifice in their minds to be able to live with it?
@@jeannemarie5908 As of 2022, 365 people had reached the summit of Annapurna I, while 72 had died in the attempt. This is how they get the death ratio, NOT as you are saying, get your facts right. In fact, the mountain is much easier to summit now and the ratio is falling. That being said, it's still a dangerous mountain and very avalanche prone
Climbing season is over mate. What’s to cover has been covered. There’s a load more on this channel that’s far more interesting than the 2 commercial mountains.
To be honest I just got a little bored of covering very similar stories, so I try to find longer/more unique ones. I will definitely bring some of the big peaks back though as I know everyone loves them!
"It all came at a cost that no one should ever have to pay." What romantic bullsh!t! How can you say that without laughing? You climb a dangerous mountain, you agree to pack along death with you. No excuses.
The highest I ever climbed was to the top of Sneffels, 14000, Colorado. I was terrified of what the couple that led me trekked me through...43 years ago!! Summer hike, but don't be fooled. I signed my name on scroll at top. Only room for the 4 of us at top....I just wish they had told me what to expect....😳
If you're unfortunate enough to survive the deadly mountain, cheer up... at least you lost your fingers, toes, and parts of your face as a trophy of some sort!!! 😂😂😂
Please learn what the deaths per summit statistic means. You incorrectly explained it in the video. Note: you are not the only one - it's misused much more than I see people get it right.
@@frockabyebabyshabbychic2611 it’s the ratio of those who actually make the summit vs those who die trying that’s why it’s 1 in 3. But this doesn’t account for people who turn back (e.g. due to bad weather, run out of oxygen, too tired to go on) and make it back safely. So no. of deaths vs. number who ATTEMPT to summit would be a much smaller number but I don’t believe they keep stats on everyone who ATTEMPTS to summit - only those who ACTUALLY summit.
Hello. Nice content. I wish I could listen to all ur videos whilst falling asleep but ur audio quality has too much treble+noise on my iphone. Can u make furure content with another microphone or fix the audio? If I see this improvement I will sub etc. Content: 10/10 Visual: idk, im using u as a podcast.. prolly 10/10? Audio: 3/10
Certain amount of hysteria here. Annapurna has had 473 summits and 73 deaths, which under most mathematical systems is not 32%. Nanga Parbat is worse with 21% ratio. You wouldn’t catch me up there but total respect to those who do instead of wrapping their lives in cotton wool. And proper climbing as well, not entitled wannabees looking for bragging rights being dragged up Everest by their sherpas.

@annakeye to each their own i guess. I love his super long compilations when I'm cleaning or doing chores etc.
A death rate of 32% on Annapurna I - even worse on the South Face. I'm a climber myself, but this is insane - horribly unfair on family and friends.
I'm not very old but I only have two family members. I can see people with no family being more able to do this sort of thing
@@XJapanGonnaGiveItToYa-cd4xj Very few people have no family at all - if you're young and fit enough to tackle Annapurna you'll likely have parents, aunts, uncles, siblings and friends...

It's not 1/3 climbers who die, but a ratio of deaths relative to those who SUMMIT. A very different figure. Most just don't even make it to the top.
so does that make it more deadly or less?

Really enjoy your Narration.. need more stories and latest news about Everest and K2 news.. why no stories in 2024 !!!!!??
Good point!!

"It all came at a cost that no one should ever have to pay." What romantic

Well wishes coming from Owatonna Minnesota!!
Where???
What a terribly sad story. I mean all of them are on this channel but still...
I'm pretty sure that's there a flat iron on the north face of the Eiger
The background music is too distracting 😊
There was a Mini-Rock Band on the side of a mountain? Was it classic rock?
5:53 where can i find full video
First, shout out from maine usa my friend
Last...stupid to say just for attention
noticed the avalanche on the left side at 9.43 .?
So what do they get exactly from risking their lives like this? Only an adrenaline rush and an ego boost? Not worth it.
Sure it is
Annapurna is a walking suicide mission. I see why they abandoned the descent.
One doesn't leave garbage on a majestic queen.

Is that ai voice or pitched down? Sounds quite strange
They make it sound so intense yet almost 70% of climbers make it back.

it is a tale of caution and the deaths are higher compares to Everest.
Which means that just over 30% of climbers don't make it back which considering the odds is pretty intense
