Garbage Mountain. How commercialising is killing Mount Everest.
For many, Mount Everest stands as the pinnacle of human achievement, the ultimate test of courage and endurance. The dream of conquering this behemoth has captivated hearts for generations. However, the reality of Everest is far from the romanticized image projected in movies and documentaries. Everest is a treacherous mountain, and the pursuit of this “dream” for the debutante mountaineer can turn into a deadly nightmare. This story implores you, the ambitious youth of India, to carefully consider the immense dangers of climbing Everest before risking your life for a fleeting moment of glory.

    Well described narration of this tragedy. I am heart broken once again by listening to this. I have climbed a few times with Martin Moran and also once with Chetan Pandey and John McLaren, three of the eight who passed away in this tragedy and also with Mark/Zac/Ian, three of the four who had gone to set the route on ND-E. So the tragedy hit hard. My deepest condolences to the family and friends of the climbers involved in the tragedy and salute the rescue teams for the difficult task of performing the recovery of the bodies. Martin was a fantastic climber and a great human being. I was with him on three of his expeditions in the Indian Himalaya and have also climbed with him in Scotland in the winter. I had met his wife and son as well. Very heart breaking.

    Very nice presentation, but there are a couple minor errors regarding the US expedition in 1976. First, you state that John Roskelley summited Nanda Devi 5 days after Ms. Nanda Devi Unsoeld died on the mountain. (30:15 to 30:40) In fact, John (and 2 others) summited on September 1, 1976, and Ms. Unsoeld died a week later, on September 8. Second, you state that Ms. Unsoeld's father, Willi, was so upset about the loss of his daughter, that he was found dead two years later at the bottom of a rock, perhaps by accident or suicide. (31:05 to 31:20). In fact, Willi died in a snow avalanche on Mt. Rainier, while leading a group of 20 or so students from the college where he was a professor. We cannot know whether he was suicidal at the moment in time, but it is more reasonable to conclude he was taking his leadership role seriously, and was trying to get everyone to safety in a winter storm, including himself. His group was quite close to a well-established mountain cabin (Camp Muir) when the avalanche struck. Willi decided to take a shorter, though more risky, route to safety. (One of his students died in the same avalanche; the others survived). A prior commenter, Mr. Langlois, makes a similar point.

    Please forgive me. Willi Unsoeld was killed on Mt Rainier in an avalanche while leading a group of college students down in a snowstorm Not suicide. I was on Mt Rainier that day. I worked for the Park Service and am well aware of the circumstances.. He may have made a poor decision but it was not suicide.
