The 2006 K2 Disaster | How Climbers MET THEIR END on the Mountain?
In the 2006 climbing season, bad weather kept climbers from reaching the summit of K2 during June and July. A series of snowstorms made it impossible to climb K2. Only four climbers successfully climbed and descended K2 that year, two Italians and two young Japanese. They were the first to climb K2 since 2004. Warm weather on K2 that year prompted climbers to retreat under the threat of avalanches and rock falls.
An eight-members strong Russian team was struggling to reach the summit of K2 via the Abruzzi Spur route that year. They had been battling raging storms and bad weather for almost two months. In the second week of August, they started their summit push from Camp 4 on the Shoulder....

    In Lou Kasischke book "After the Wind" he emphatically says that Rob Hall set turnaround time of 1:00 PM and not 2:00 PM (insinuating that no one wanted to disrespect Hall for the deaths after his death). Kasischke also claimed that 11:00 AM should have been the turnaround time. He also claims that there was no need to put ropes on up to the summit as they could simply climb up it without rope (he says Boukreev used an old rope to climb up). Sorry, just read his book.

    Sandy Pittman and Beck Weathers I thought were the biggest dbags in climbing. I did some research on Pittman she’s not the person I thought she was. She put her time in but even so she was vilified in Krackours( it’s not right I know) book. Now it’s this woman and Beck Weathers. I’m so interested in the dbags in climbing and mountaineering. A lot more than I thought. Thanks for the content. Keep it up. 👍

    With all respect for the achievement, courage and determent of these high altitude climbers but I can imagine that they lean heavily on the resources of the rescue people in the region they climb when things go wrong. Do these climbers always must ask permission from the authorities where they climb (a permit) and insure themselves in case of rescue missions. How does this work..anybody?

    After a little research I can say that she used her sexuality to have Men do all the heavy lifting so she could travel light when climbing. A Man named Thor fell in love with her, risked his life on more than one occasion to save her life but she didn't love him back, she simply used Men after screwing them. Upon returning to Paris she never mentioned Thor and him risking his life to save her. The next time they met Thor said Hi! Her reply was, have we met? After some big lies to the French press she never mentioned the men that risked their lives to save her. She died on the Mountain along with the man she was with. Just desserts.

    This is so sad. Having a responsibility for a client and having to deliver what they paid for takes away a lot of freedom. I cried when he called his pregnant wife. And I had to think of how angry they were at Chantal Mauduit and Thor for needing to get rescued. Sh*t happens to the best. Now they suffered the same. Not happy about that, but never feel too confident.

  • @AnnaLee33
    @AnnaLee33 26 дней назад

    RIP. I couldn't help but remember how he reacted when Chantal Mauduit needed to get rescued. He banned her from his future expeditions. I had a bad feeling when he reacted in this way, and then, he needed to get rescued himself and it was impossible.... it's very sad that he had to perish there, that Chantal perished. Nobody is safe up there, everybody can get into the situation where they need to get rescued. Just saying, I mean no disrespect and understand he wanted extra safety. But then, apparently they didn't hear the weather forecast or decided they summit anyways... it's tragic. I would have wished for both, and all, to get down alive and well.

    Ok, after having watch Adventures Gone Wrong and Michael Tracy's videos on RUclips about this event, I have completely changed my perspective on this. Take nothing Jon Krakauer said as fact or truth, first off. This video is based on Krakauer's point of view. You need to read everyone else's accounts and take into consideration that since 1996, Krakauer has changed his story 3-4 times. Hall's well established turn around time was 1pm. It's in a bunch of documentation in the videos of the above mentioned creators. Everyone going for the summit decided to ignore it. Hall was trying to get notoriety for his company and was more focused on that than on conducting a safe expedition. Doug Hansen was a victim of Rob Hall's ego. Hansen knew that he didn't have it in him to make it to the summit and was going to go on down, but Rob Hall talked him out of that and instead to turn around and keep going up. At this point in the climb, Hall's team had 5 members opt out of summiting. He needed as many climbers as he could in order to look good for Krakauer's article for Outdoor Magazine. Oh, and by the way, Rob Hall was footing the expedition bill for Krakauer... Outdoor magazine paid Krakauer's climbing fee to the Nepalese Government. He completely climbed for free. Lopsang wasn't short-roping Sandy Pittman at any time in the climb--that was one of Krakauer's lies. In the picture @8:12, you see the teams up at the Hillary Step. *The photo was taken at 1pm.* Sandy Pittman is the one in yellow standing by herself at the top of the Hillary Step. Lopsang was in white with a blue pole in his backpack standing near the bottom of the H Step. There is no way he short roped her up that step and there is no way Krakauer could see bc he was close to the summit at 1pm when the photo was taken by Fischer. @9:23, that is not Lopsang. He was wearing a white covering over his climbing suit and had a blue pole sticking out. That person descending is Sandy Pittman about 75 feet from the Hillary Step. She was wearing a yellow climbing suit. You should also know that Krakauer abandoned both Yasuko Namba and Beck Weathers on the slope when he could have helped them. Namba and Mike Groom were descending together when they came upon Krakauer who'd run out of O2. They got him together, he recovered and joined the two in the descent, until they saw another climber descending at a rapid pace. Groom sent Namba down with Krakauer while he went to go see about the other climber. Before this happened, Krakauer came upon Beck Weathers who asked him to help him down and he refused. Mike Groom was the one who collected Weathers and had him in tow til they got the big huddle. In fact, until the storm hit, Namba was descending at an impressive pace and if she'd not run out of O2, she would have most likely made it back to camp. This expedition was the first of the season. One of the main reasons why Krakauer besmirched Boukreev was bc Krakauer wanted to summit first that season--he used the ruse of 'helping them fix the lines', but once lines were no longer needed above the Hillary Step, he took off to be the first person that season to reach the summit. Boukreev could smell what was up. When K got to the summit, he found Boukreev had beaten him by 15 minutes. THAT is where the animosity about Boukreev not using O2 came from. Krakauer collapsed on his way down near the south summit from lack of O2, so his recollection on things can't be taken as fact.
