Polish climbing grades are pretty similar to UIAA grades and use Roman numerals. So it's "five plus" rather than "/v/ plus".

Excellent!

For the people who find this intresting: There's a documentary about this. It's on Netflix.

whats the name of the song used in the intro?

very good viedo good job

Besides Sherpas doing 70% of the work, its too expensive, too crowded, too polluted, too sad.

True ice warriors. Thank you for reminding this story

School field trips. I wonder what the history of these trips

Apparently May is not the best time to go to Everest.

Pure ego motivates many of them. I don’t think blind ambition should be so romanticized, you didn’t even mentioned that Frances’ son begged her not to climb Mt Everest but sadly failed to convince her. The worst thing is that plenty of amateurs who have no business going near such a high mountain, are able to attempt to reach the summit because of adventure companies that help them do it in exchange of lots of money

To anyone wondering, there's a theory/conspiracy that Irvine's body and the camera were brought down by the chinese, the camera's film was developped and was supposedly ruined. This because they went through the chinese side of the mountain, which the later chinese team summited, marking them as the first to summit that side. However, if Mallory and Irvine managed to summit, they'd take the grand first not only from Hillary and Norgae, but also the chinese team (and even if their summit story is very cool it wouldn't be as impressive if they were marked as "second"), and due to international PR reasons and national pride they wouldn't allow it. As far as my opinion on the debate, they did summit and fell on the descent.

it always amazes me how cruel commenters are towards the climbers. yes, they knew the risks, but they didn't deserve to die just because they did it anyway? why is this risk so much more horrific than other risks? have some compassion

Lesson learned: Have at least ONE sherpa, have oxygen tanks, NO EGO and be careful. Also dont ascent ñate because then youll descent in the night

Mountains be passing out Darwin awards left and right

no ascent of any 8000er is more badass than this

This is Peter Boardman Clown 👻

This is not Hannelore Schmatz. It s Peter Boardman who s sitting there at 8.200 m

The May 10 1996 disaster also had the insane story of Beck Weathers. He was assumed dead twice!

0:20 When it comes to climbing K2, phrasing it like "an exciting opportunity" is the mother of grifts.

I'm not haunted they were all f'ing ego maniac jackasses who could give a shit about anyone else to accomplish there meaningless stunt.

Respectfully pushed him off cliff ?

Sitting here in my warm house knowing that outside right now it’s -1 F, I will never understand the desire to climb Everest and risk living to see your loved ones …

Great stuff man

Makes me mad all these people that step over bodies. leave sick people behind, but they take pictures of their "Conquests" without saying the guids and Sherpas that have conquried the hills so many times and these people pay them to haul stuff, take care of them and never say, "So and So made it possiable and carried my ass down!

Hall's body is under snow on the S Summit, it was covered within a year and the next year David Brearshears pointed out where it was

There are actually 22,000 bodies on Everest.

All of them, nuts. What a pointless waste of lives.

Stupidity and Hugo Egos. White folk have no shortage of either.

What accent is this?

bla bla bla

Your channel is excellent.. so tired of lazy mountaineering channels spreading poor unresearched information -thank you for being better!!!

They ALL know the Risk of Climbing that Mt.

They're making these idiots sound like heroes....they're just egomaniacs.

Didn’t Sleeping Beauty’s husband die too up there??? Sergay???

They should shut it down for 5 yrs. PAY the sherpas to bring down the bodies they can and clean up the tons of garbage. When you reopen, only issue 1/2 the permits as before. It’s become too crowded & it’s ruining the mountain & the experience of climbing it.

A lot of Darwin Awards up there. . . .

Alpinists at the age of 80 years are wise and good climbers. Others die earlier. It is the instinct, that says to you, return and go back to base. You are save, when you are drinking a Weizenbeer in a warm Hütte (Refuge, Rifugio, shelter, etc.)😂😂😂. Best whishes from Bavaria, West Germany

I fear that so many of the deaths are due to too many people climbing at a time forcing people to take chances on windows and storms

i love that perspective 1:02

It's time it was stopped

Play a stupid game.....And when a stupid prize!

Why? Shut the mountain down, clean it up and leave it closed.

I don't understand the hoopla of climbing a mountain, any mountain. It's suicidal, uncomfortable and BORING.... 🤔🤔🤔🤔 I wouldn't waste MY time doing that. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 MAXIMUM BOREDOM. 😖😖😝😜😝😝 These climbers knew the risks, now their bodies will remain there for thousands of years and end up like UTZI, dragged around by glaciers for the next thousand years. They all made unwise decisions.. They didn't think about their families, when they died up there, how selfish. 😖🙃

For more on the 1996 debacle on Everest I invite those that are interested to check out Michael Tracy’s RUclips articles… very thorough and some of it tough to hear… and very well done… and yes he takes a dump on John Krakauer.
