- To understand the story of Beck Weathers, you must go back to the fateful events of May 1996 during the ill-fated expedition on Mt Everest, forever etched in infamy. In the spring of 1996, Mt Everest braced itself for an influx of climbers from across the globe, each harboring a fervent desire to conquer its formidable peak. Beck Weathers was poised at the base of Mount Everest, unyielding in his readiness. Faced vision challenges at higher altitudes, his guide refused to permit him to summit, promising to accompany him on the descent. Unfortunately, the guide never returned and Weathers was stuck, blind on Mt Everest in mega storm on the highest peak on Earth.

Thank you all for your support! Wanted to try a new day this week. I hope you all don't mind the surprise upload. If you're new to the channel, welcome and remember to like and subscribe!
I have to admit. When I first started this channel, this particular story was among the first that crossed my mind. But I wasn't confident in my abilities as an editor or a storyteller to feel like I could tackle a story as epic as this one. Plus, I wanted to start with lesser-known stories that stand apart from other channels in this genre. A year later, I felt like it was time to tackle this story. It's as intense of an ordeal as any story told on this channel.
This is a nice surprise! Thank you for the video! It's a great way to start the weekend! This is my favorite channel! Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
I've been listening to you when you had about 14k or 27k subscribers and it's the combination of your ability to captivate your audience and your tone.
Hopefully we get a first name Sir. Haha
Love it! Thank you, OD!
Beck’s story is amazing!
Thanks, I don’t miss an episode
Great job documenting this amazing story of survival.
Who goes to climb Mount Everest while their wife is heavily pregnant? Seriously selfish
Selfishness is a common theme among majority of these climbers
Chances of dying climbing everest-1%
Chances if dying in a car crash - 1%
Who goes driving a car while their wife is "heavily" pregnant?
@@bradsanders407That’s a red herring and you know it. People spend a LOT more time driving than climbing, and people drive for reasons other than driving itself - I.e., to work and do a million other things.
You can’t just pull statistics out of your ass without context.
They may have needed the money.
A car ride average maybe half an hour. Average Everest expedition 2 months.
By overcoming impossible odds, Beck Weathers demonstrated what human will-power is capable of. He paid a high price for completely reinventing his life for the better, though.
Beck Weathers' journey is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder to never give up. Well said Jeep.
You could say that Beck Weathers, weathers the weather well, whether that weather is the actual physical or figurative weather.
@@bradsanders407Bravo!
😂😂🤣@@bradsanders407
@@bradsanders407wether!!
@OutdoorDisasters - You ABSOLUTELY did right by this event and by all of the people on the mountain that day. I know I’ve told you a hundred times but I’ll say it again, FANTASTIC JOB!! I am so glad you decided to create this channel. As are many, many others. Thank you for all you do. YOU are appreciated! Cheers, my friend. ☺️
For anyone here interested in what the climbers stuck in that storm had to say, watch "Into Thin Air" or John Krakauer's Ted talk about the 1996 disaster.
❤❤
Between your voice, masterful storytelling, and nostalgic feel you create, I am mesmerized and completely captivated by each piece you create, not wanting the story you tell to end..bravo!
Thank you! You kind words are much appreciated!
Regardless of how experienced their Sherpas are, anyone who takes on Everest needs to understand that at some point during the climb it becomes every man for himself and if they become immobile for whatever reason, they may end up on their own and alone.
Oh they'll leave ur ass 4sho. It's written in the disclosures
Beck and everyone else who decides to climb that mountain knows that up there is it every man or woman for himself or herself if you can’t walk on your own. Beck became a liability for any would be rescuer. It’s just too dangerous. He was helped by an Australian.
A few of my heroes:
1. Beck Weathers
2. Chesley B. Sullenberger
3. The Pakistani helicopter pilot who rescued Beck Weathers. Wow that’s a whole other story.
Thank-you, Outdoor Disasters.
Superb.
That helicopter pilot has steel cajones. I wish I had the time to spend more time on that. In the book, Beck went about the pilot and how much of a hero he was. Well said!
The helicopter pilot that rescued Beck WASN'T PAKI(you're kidding, right?) he was a Nepalese Army captain flying a stripped bare French built "squirrel " helicopter, to this day he holds an altitude record for height reached, touched down, person taken on board × two
Kudos to Weathers' wife. Her wanting a divorce because she felt mountaineering seemed more important to him than his family was understandable. When she found out he was alive, she not only organized a historic rescue but stayed with him despite his major injuries, which, for some, would've been all the justification needed to continue with the divorce.
Yeah right, more like she was angry because he was spending so much money mountaineering. That’s all these parasites care about.
Justification 😂😂😂if you mare vows for better or worse that’s what it means you better not get married weak mentality having ssa
The tragedy saved their marriage
Probably the 2nd most famous Everest story, well told as always.
The first? The first?
@@bradsanders407 The first presumably being Sir Edmund Hillary 1953. Or maybe George Mallory 1922.... Maybe this is the third most famous everest story ... although people have short memories
Your videos really leave my heart full. Hearing such intense stories of tragedy, survival, and renewal at the hands of the natural world is incredible, especially with the way you lay out the stories. My heart aches with sadness and hope for people I will never meet.
I don't engage in any extreme outdoor activities but the lure of the wilds sinks in easily even for a casual hiker. One of my best experiences was going off trail near the painted hills in the Oregon desert with an experienced guide (a geologist friend who had spent at least a month in the area during his studies) and it was incredible, but absolutely could have gone wrong if my friend got hurt and we couldn't rely on him for directions.
But at the same time I have no urge to summit a mountain, and will never place foot near Everest. Between my lack of required skill, perhaps a lack of ego, and an awareness of what is being done to that mountain in the current day all make that a clear decision. I'm also more than a little horrified that there was a company in '96 that took inexperienced climbers up that mountain. How times change, eh?
Thank you for your kind words. These expedition are definitely not for every one. I consider myself pretty adventurous. But there are things I would not do for sure. Nothing wrong with staying within your comfort zone. Live vicariously through some of the people in these stories I guess lol. Thank you for watching!
God truly had a lot more for Beck to do in life and the others, they are all survivors! God is amazing and is always right on time. ❤ from Birmingham Alabama USA 😊
So God didn’t like the people who died?
God doesn't exist. He survived be sheer luck, nothing else 😂
Can you imagine how much his wife, Peach had to wire to the Nepalese captain to get him to strip down his copter, strip it bare and set a record breaking flight, to this day? One for the record books and he did it twice, not sure it was all "god" as you say or a wife that was ready to divorce her husband and was motivated by what we'll never fully know
OD-Video- nice to end a week full of work! Have a wonderful weekend everyone❤
Thanks, you too!
Such an amazing story! At first, I was thoroughly confused because I was thinking Rob Hall had indeed been close to death and left for dead, but survived. But that was Lincoln Hall! So sad that Rob was not as fortunate.
his name is Weathers
& the Weather almost Killed Him
oddly funny
Wow !! You are an amazing story teller. I love it.
Wow wow wow
❤❤
I am home sick today just lying on the couch so for me this was a great surprise, thank you.
It just wasn't Beck's time.
Beck Wethers was not a novice; he had already climbed many of the tallest mountains on earth.
I have found that strenuous outdoor physical exertion alleviates my depressive symptoms. But I have to keep it up. It doesn’t start relieving my symptoms until about 2-3 weeks into this regimen. And heat intolerance makes it hard to do in the summer, so it is my good fortune to live in a northern climate.
Unfortunately, injuries which prevent heavy exertion outdoors will set me back very seriously, and the resulting symptoms make it hard to get going again.
🙄??🙄
Try volunteering/donating to people in need. I find that pulls you outside of yourself, and prevents you from thinking those thoughts. Get to like rosemary essential oil, even if you don't like the smell at first. Good for getting rid of what ails you. Valerian short term, hyssop oils aid with mood. Hope that helps.
@@gittejensen1229Rude!!
@@dottypitchell208 I have found that serving others brings me out of my depressive episodes. My DIY.
So happy to see the upload! This story has fascinated me. I read Into Thin Air several rimes and also Beck's book. You did a great job on this story!
I'm so happy your enjoyed it! I read Beck's book researching this. What a badass. It truly defies comprehension how he survived.
New od video in the middle of the day? Guess its time to throw this on and take a nap!
Great idea
This was a great story, and I thank you for all your work! Have a great weekend!
Thank you! You too!
My goodness, I had not realized frost bite can set in so quickly.
Great job. 👍 thanks again!! :)
❤❤
😮😮😮 woah this has trulyreached me, so much more than many other documentaries on this story xx 😮😮😮 xx
I hiked to Base camp when I was a young 18yr old amateur boxer and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year for my 40th. Hiking to base camp is gruelling enough I couldn't imagine submitting Everest.
Summiting or Submitting ??? 😂😂😂😂
I heard him talk of his experience to a small groups of physicians. It was an amazing talk.
Always thought mountains were cool although everest has been a particular favorite thank you for bringing to light these amazing stories you are doing a great service
I’ve read the books (both Krakauer and Boukreev) and I’ve watched endless interviews and documentaries on this tragic excursion…but it never gets old listening to all the perspectives on this event. Yours was exceptional! And Beck is a real life super hero indeed!!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Imagine paying $100,000 for that
Nope!
Happy Friday! Thank you for the surprise video!!! Have a great weekend and thanks again!!❤🙂
What surprice??? We hav heard his story 100'ed of times.🥱
Another great one O D love your channel❤️❤️ thank you
Left for dead survived on mt everst
GREAT vid. AWESOME job!!!!
Wow! What a story. Thank you. Great narration!
Excellent as always
Thank you! Cheers!
❤❤
I really enjoyed you narrate this story. Thank you! New subscriber here. ❤ From Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
The narration on this one is so superb.
What a fucking machine. After everyrhing, the repetitions in training... his body was in trek mode and it took over to save his ass.
33:28 My face looks exactly like that when I wake up in a random alley way with a severe hangover from all the Bud Ice from the previous night.
Maybe I have been to Everest....
Wow. I don't even know what happened to the time. I was completely immersed in your story telling! This is an absolutely incredible story. I really don't think I could attempt to put into words what needs to be said in reply. Not yet. There's so much.
It's weird how his story stands looming in my mind almost like a mountain. A big, scary, cold, impending, inspiring, shockingly beautiful but loveless mountain that doesn't give it's gifts willingly or easily. Somehow Beck was gifted a double resurrection on that mountain. Once of his body, once of his soul. And I'm just feeling like me trying to understand that mountain through Beck feels impossible, even maybe irreverent. But then again, whatever we can gain, I'm sure he would want us to gain.
But I'm scared I'll twist his story the wrong way, take a wrong step in my mind as i try to understand it.
I'm not trying to be over dramatic. It's just... Part of me is angry he had to pay such a price to get a piece of peace in his soul. But then I'm happy too.
Maybe i recognize the tortured soul, and the mountain looming before those who struggle that way. It's so cold and scary and sad. But he wouldn't trade it. 🤔 I must think.
You are a master story teller. Thank you. I was so excited to see an early surprise🎉!
It used to be an amazing feat. Now though, in my opinion, it has just become another bought and paid for tickets off a bucket list. Just like a pay for trip to space. It's not amazing now, it's just expensive!
I definitely hear ya. Still, you have to be committed to that list, that's for sure. Takes almost 2 months to climb that thing. Climbing up and down a few times before you go the summit. It's definitely an in vogue thing to do. But it's truly is an accomplishment to climb Everest, regardless of the motivations.
PS This reminds me of how Zion's National Park forbids commercial operations from leading hikes into the narrows etc. I am really glad they don't. For reasons made clear in this video and more.
I understand it works some places, I'm just glad we don't allow it here.
An amazing feat of survival. The human body and its ability to overcome is often called into question but I ask this, to go through what this man went through, shouldn’t we determine that the drive to survive is the ultimate strength of our own soul, our own need to see tomorrow? Thanks for sharing.
Your narrating voice should be in movies and e-book voice overs! Maybe you could try that as well? If you haven't done so already
It was a complete miracle.
It is hard to even imagine that kind of cold. Weathers’ experience is just so amazing.
Definitely not for the fan-hearted more for the dumbhearted
Beautiful localized sun
Imagine being... Rob? Who left Beck and 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ the Japanese woman? Imagine being him when Beck reappeared. Then imagine being Beck.
Amazing story of sheer will and determination to not be left for dead.
Rob Hall,sat Bw down to wait until he game back for him becurse B w was blinde please remember That.
And yet wasn’t last year one of the deadliest on record? Clearly we’ve learned nothing.
I see God's finger prints in your storys❤
If you drop at 28000 feet, you cannot be helped and you’re gonna die.
Beck warns people now that they should not climb Mt Everest !! It should be banned from climbing ! Rich people continue to leave trash all over the mountain ! Those rich people should pay to clean it after climbing it !
Just the bodies that have been left or lost there is enough to be making it be off limits!
Acknowledge the selfishness and greed?
Total lunacy!!... why ?
A disasterous tragedy of people ignoring God (intuition). Mentally clouded. Taking risks where no risks should've been taken.
Scott Fischer died so others could live and Anatoly and a Sherpa were real Heroes.......
Do a video on how a postal worker has time to climb mountains. Was he working part time?
It’s called vacation time
@frogblues the whole trip takes two months or more. Very few people have that much vacation time.
@@Tenebarum Vacation time rolls over for Postal workers if unused, and they get 4 weeks vacation after three years, five weeks of vacation after 15 years.
It’s really not that hard to envision him planning well ahead and saving vacation time and working with coworkers to get two months off. There’s also leave without pay which is not that hard to get.
Fixating on someone getting two months off instead of the incredible story is a bit odd. But maybe you and Suzanna should write your congressperson that they should take away vacation time...
@@Tenebarumpostal employees are allowed to trade/sell so to speak leave time, he put it together supported and assisted by coworkers, my god kids today are so dum6
@@bethewalt7385 What kids are you referring to? It's extremely difficult to get 4 consecutive weeks off in any job. This was his second try in 2 years.
Do you feel smart now?
Why?
I don't understand why people separate unless one of them is severely injured.
Wow, what a story, f*** a duck!
I know!
36:06 Does anybody else see the resemblance between his wife and the Kronan from Mass Effect?
Would a compass have helped the stranded group?
It was said to be hurricane-force winds at 27,000 feet. Temperatures were below zero.
Likely couldn’t hold a compass.
No😂😂😂😂😂what a clueless comment, lordy lordy
If I was on Everest and I was left for dead, that is what I would do.
Love 💕 you 😂😂😂😂
Churchill referred to his own depression as like having a black dog following him around.
Only those who suffer from refractory major depressive episodes can understand the absolute need to challenge oneself in a natural setting.
Well, maybe they had troubled to save themselfs........
😊😊😊
Beck showed the whole world, "Don't mess with Texas" an epic and truly inspiring story of survival.
Ooohhhh dear, not
Ooohhhh der,,,NOT mr Veathers
$$$ always helps one recover
Well, they should N O T allow this..........
I only wish they would put that effort into working a job.
I find those that temp fate and life to be sick people. I give no honor to these vain endeavors.
My friend's son died on Everest. As a child he used to play with my son's. A total waste of life. He is still up there somewhere 😢😢😢
@@angelaberni8873 Sorry for your lose. Only those that have lost seem to understand the hubris and arrogance of vain pursuits.

Dude the damn ads every 3 minutes are ridiculous. I like your stuff but not if it’s gonna be more ads then show. RUclips is literally just tv now. I’m over it.
Pay for RUclips premium and never see an ad again.
God wanted him to live.
What about the people who died?
*A REAL MAN. ATRUE HERO. AND WHAT A WIFE TO HAVE, MY GOD*
12 ads in this video...😢 kinda makes younbreak focus to much.
12 ad's? I didn't even see one. 🤔
I had one lol
@@javierross7441 maybe you have RUclips premium?
I didn't have any. But remember that ads are how we can get this kind of "free" content. The people who make them make money from the ads.
Pay for RUclips premium and never see an ad again.
It's so ironic that his last name is Weathers.
I thought the same thing producing this video
These climbers are Survival 😂😂..the real heroes are teh Sherpas...who guided them
Why waste so much money and risk your life just to spoil the b mountain and self- glory which ain't gonna matter when you leave earth.
Go help humanity and wildlife instead.
I never felt much sympathy for him, because he had a wife and young children but still chose to climb Everest. Selfish.
Thinking you know what someone else should do, could also be viewed as selfish.
He suffered from depression. Mountaineering is how he dealt with it.
Wonderful tale but not completely accurate.
All I saw was a bunch of selfish, ridiculous people.
These morons who will gladly pay $60K to visit a cemetery, sewer and garbage dump. Smh
These are true stories that are just being retold . I think the credit should go to the surrvivors
This might not be pedantic but it is ridiculous. Just watching museum curators goof off.
Bro, after watching this video of you with your endeavors, I’d would have let you too. Just sayin’ SMH
You're a bit late to this story mate !
Ah man I thought I was the only one who knew about this.
@@outdoordisasters lol !
Wow I was crying by the end. Yet I still feel these people are selfish especially when you have Children. Beck was one lucky man
You keep saying South Pole
Perfect choice of words when you're on a potentially dangerous adventure "wise" & "prudent"!👍🧗♀️🏔⛏️🥾
