A lady at Wendy's bought me a burger when I was 14 because she said I looked hungry and I didn't have money to eat. I still talk about her 15 years later. It's wild that people can be this ungrateful.
I still remeber people that offered like 20c to 5$ at line in checkout because I didnt have the right change a few times in my life~ "Don't put that back hon, I got 5$" Or a whole group of people offering a bit of change and I have done the same because of the good will they showed.
As a kid I went in to a store and bought myself some ice cream I think it was and I was 36 cents short. The cashier gave me 36 cents from her own wallet and helped me. I STILL think about her and on occasion mention to people how she was kind enough to give me 30 cents. I don’t even know her name and I’m in my 20s now. I’m sure it’s been at least ten years, and probably more.
I was living in a car after my mental health went off a cliff. A woman noticed me sleeping in my car outside a park in a rural town and brought me breakfast and a hot cup of coffee. She told me how she'd been in a similar situation and she knew what it was like. Wherever she is I hope she's doing well. I still have the cup.
@@xenoemblem7 not to be the bad guy, but, it's their JOB to be there for monkeys 🙊 like this one... ( not that it makes a difference here of course!! F this guy!! 😒 )
Considering it isn't uncommon for someone who is struggling to be left behind due to the potential for the rescuer to endanger themselves in the process, that person was risking themselves to save him. Truly a heart of gold.
There's like a strange obsession with some guys to say they left someone behind as like a badge of honour but like I've said before about climbing as a spot; No wonder that people whose entire personality is "me climb bigger rock than you" are psychos.
One person had to be abandoned because the weather was bad and it was getting dark and would place the sherpa's in too much risk. So the next day when the sherpas started their climb up the mountain, they were expecting to see the man's frozen corpse... but somehow through physical strength, endurance, and willpower, he had kept himself alive all night long without anything protecting him from the elements. The sherpas helped him down the mountain, and he survived with some bad frostbite (think he lost toes and fingers, can't remember now). You never know what can happen on Everest!
@@RavenMobile Your story goes against everyone else’s so it’s a lie. He was found by a business competitor who was a Sherpa helping a group of Chinese climbers who canceled their ascent to help him. More Sherpas didn’t join until they descended camp 4 in which the rescued man’s Sherpa business took over and called the helicopter. This is according to all the Sherpas and the climbers present, you’re a liar on the second half
@@tacticalbacon7386 I hope they are, a lot of people have been making up stories like that to defend the climber. Even though he himself didn’t even claim such things happened
As a Marine veteran, I can tell you first hand that carrying even 60 pounds on your back, with full gear, on a relatively flat surface for even an hour or so will make you feel like breaking in half. I can't even fathom strapping an entire (180ish?) pound man on my back in negative degree weather, at 8300m, for 6 hours, over mountainous terrain. Those sherpas are built different.
Much respect for Sherpas. They risk their lives for these kind of idiots, they often carry the equipment and their lives are often viewed as disposable. One of the most impressive jobs out there
Usually the people who others consider to be disposable have some of the most important jobs. It's pretty stupid how people don't see that and they don't get the respect they deserve
This feels like a metaphor for how the world is. A rich person lays dying from his own selfish decisions and is saved out of compassion by an underpaid expert just for the rich person to thank other rich people.
@@meatisomalley With so much money climbing the mountain, they'd be pretty poor entrepreneurs if they didn't manage to snag as much of it as possible before it climbs back down.
@@meatisomalley I damn sure hope they do! The work it takes to safely trek the worlds tallest mountain so some rich people can gain XP irl should come at a high fee. After all, theyre getting paid for their labour, but yea the analogy was great
It all comes down to ego. Objectively thanking his sponsors and not his rescuers diminishes his utter failure to be a climber. He would have to be a little humble for 60 seconds out of his life, and that's just absolutely impossible for some people to admit they messed up.
It's crazy, because he could have easily _thanked both_ the Sherpa and his sponsors, and there'd be zero backlash. It's not like he had to choose between Mary Jane and a bus full of children here.
As a Nepali, Sherpas dont get enough money or credit for what they do. They are literally the guardian angels of Everest. These guys are so damn tough but also one of the kindest people you will ever meet, they appreciate anything and everything, because they know, they have been raised in scarcity yet they dont get as much love as they should. Much respect to these tough resilient bhotes.
@@Rock_Appreciator Nims isn't Sherpa, he's a Magar but yeah, him and the guys that did that run with him, as well as winter K2 are some fucking badass dudes.
Yeah this video made me think the Sherpas gotta have the most thankless job of all probably. They help privileged people up and down this dangerous mountain risking their own lifes too. If you are about to die on mt Everest nobody has to help you, not even the Sherpas as far as I know. I heard that helping a dying person on mt Everest is too dangerous as it can quickly deplete your own energy so you die too. It's just too much a risk. Everyone who is up there made the gamble of "if something goes wrong I could be a goner". Doesn't matter how rich you are, at mt Everest everyone is equal to how dangerous it is and nobody to call if something happens. So then to be one of the few lucky ones who do get his sorry ass life rescued cuz of this guardian angle sherpa and he doesn't even get a thank you? OMG... Being a hero requires not needing the validation of getting a thank you, knowing you saved a life is the reward. But even so... The guy who got saved deserves the hardest face slap ever by his own mother for this disrespect and ungratefulness.
If you see one tell him thank you from polish woman. Our people also climb Mount Everest and might be or might been svaed one day by sherpas. I'll tell my fellow Poles who sherpas are.
Another point that's missed out in all mentions of this story... Gelje was actually the "expedition assistant" for another client, not for Tharumalingam. Gelje saved Tharumalingam's life AFTER he scolded his client for continuing with the expedition instead of giving priority to save a fellow climber's life. He had to scold and convince his client, telling him that his higher priority was to save a life instead of just taking his client up to the peak. These guys who get rich without human connections... they just don't get it. They're sociopaths.
I once broke my ankle and some kind lady saw me in the parking lot of the ER, got me a wheel chair, and pushed me to the front and I nearly cried. I still think of her kindness. So to be carried like a baby for 6 hours and “forget” to thank them? Absolutely selfish. Disgusting behavior honestly
For real, I still think back to a girl complimenting my hair clip and it makes me smile; apparently the climber blocked gelje sherpa and then unblocked him after getting so much heat and then he FINALLY thanked him.
Acts of kindness no matter how big or small are all precious. Too bad some people are so consumed by their own ego to not realize the worth of these kind of acts.
It needs to be stressed how rare it is to rescue someone from Mt Everest. In the majority of cases, people are literally left to die because there’s nothing that can be done to save them. That’s how crazy this environment is. For this Sherpa to perform the rescue, he had to put his life in extreme jeopardy. It’s akin to running into a burning building.
I'd say it's significantly worse than running into a burning building, because we do have far more volunteers, equipment, and general human experience to do exactly that. Firemen are trained and deserve respect, sure, but I wouldn't say it's akin to what happened here :p
If that burning building was 8000 meters above sea level and you had to run 6 hours on through the fire while traversing treacherous terrain with bro literally strapped to you back like a backpack.
Ye Letting this entitled man die would be disgrace But nobody could know what his true nature was until he woke up. After all people are people until they reveal their sinister nature
I climbed to Everest base camp a few years ago in a group of about 15 people all from the U.K. I was sponered to be there but everyone else came from posh backgrounds with lots of money. The way some of those people treated the Sherpas was embarrasing at times. I quickly made the decision to shun most people from the group and only hang out with the Sherpas. The six of them on my team were the coolest, bravest most kind hearted people you could ever hope to meet! While the others were spending their evenings on the three week trek with their noses in books or on their phones I was in the back rooms with the Sherpas sharing their weed and whiskey with me and taking the piss out of each other. It's fucking embarrasing how some entitled western people behave, it's not a race thing it's a western thing. But the Nepalese and especially the Sherpas put up with it because tourism is the main economy of their country and they'd be fucked without it. Doesn't make it right though. I can picture exactly what sort of guy this was but am glad people can see what a dick he is!
@@tyronebrown55 yeah mate they were sound! Some of the girls in the group coundn't be fucked to carry their huge bags so paid these guys to carry it along with all the camping & cooking stuff. They were so glad to be done each day & to relax. Smoking weed is all good with Shiva so they say they smoke it to get closer to her! But Nepalese hash is an unbelieveable smoke also, like crumbly pollen 🙂
From what you yourself write, I would be careful with saying that it's "a western thing". Most likely it's rather "a money thing". There's actual research linking antisocial behaviour to wealth, and I bet you're likely to find (and can actually view) equal amounts of assholery among Russian, Arab, Chinese and Japanese rich people. Money really does corrupt.
Yeah, add to that the gear he was carrying (o2 tanks, cold insulation) and the fact that the man was wrapped up, making him even larger and more awkward to carry
@@ambatuBUHSURK not the tallest but the highest elevation. Terrain on the route they used was still quite terrible, hiking in that cold and snow slows you down a lot and drains the stamina way faster.
I remember when my son was born a month early. He was put into an incubator for 2 weeks until his lungs started to work. For a fortnight me and the wife sat by his incubator, almost trying not to bond with him in case he died but it was too late. We grew him and he was our son. However his life was saved by the glorious nurses of the UK National Health Service. I'd like to thank everyone in the Costa Coffee for giving us a free coffee to stay awake when we needed to. FFS.
I almost died on Mt. Everest, but my life was saved thanks to Raid Shadow Legends! And some guys on the mountain, I guess. Make sure to use the code ungrateful to get the latest hero in the game.
I always laugh at that scene in 'Seven Years in Tibet' during the snowstorm up Everest, when Brad Pitt says, "Peter! Just give me TWO Sherpas, and I can reach that peak by tonight!" He still needed the Sherpas to make the climb, but of course, his character would get all the credit, lol. I wonder how much trash this guy left on the side of the mountain before he was carried off of it?
This is a feat of superhuman strength! For those who are unfamiliar with the subject, let me tell you why this is even more amazing than the video lets on. Sherpas are the ones who decide and secure the routes to the summit every year which means taking all the risks their very rich clients never have to take. As if that weren't enough, they also carry the bulk of the equipment for those same clients with the exception of personal oxygen tanks and even do all the cooking and cleaning.
Huge shoutout to all of those Sherpas who helped save that man’s life (despite him being extremely ungrateful.) They deserve all the love and respect in the world.
In the military, carrying a wounded man on your back out of a dangerous area, saving their life, is worthy of medals and admiration. Those that are rescued praise their saviors, their battle-buddies, the medics, Dust Off, the surgeons. They don't praise their recruiter, and only their recruiter.
They dont praise them they say thank you then run back into the battle. Your military must be on some lazy stuff if you are able to sit there and praise the medic, surgeon and battle buddie. Last I checked you "praise" your recruiter for helping you get out of a terrible and unwanted lifestyle. So, to answer your question. Yes, you still would "praise" your recruiter. Smooth brain.
“I myself have climbed and train many others to climb this great beast but even I nearly succumbed to the immense danger this mountain poses. I want to take a moment to thank the amazing people who saved my life and the amazing work they do. If not for them I wouldn’t be here today.” Such a simple thing he could’ve said.
As I was unconscious on the mountain, oxygen running low and slowly freezing to death, I wished I was somewhere else. And thanks to today's sponsor NordVPN I could be
As a nepali ,sherpas are always under appreciated in general for their work to help people climb Everest, without sherpas its not that easy to climb the Everest. theres a lot of time where sherpas has rescued people from brink of death but there is always some story on who survived not who helped them survive.
It's true. I think it's fine to give some attention to the survivors, but the Sherpas are the real MVPs; I would think covering their stories would be far more interesting.
Almost drowned when I was 15 at the beach, I will never ever forget the bearded man who saved my life for as long as I live. I couldn’t imagine being so far up my own ass that I intentionally don’t thank the very people who saved me. Thank you again Mr. David
@@SophisticatedDogCat I don’t think he forgot either, he just didn’t want to for whatever reason. If he were grateful he would’ve mentioned everyone who saved him by name imo
I'm sorry that happened and that's a good point, but I thought this was gonna be like a parody of the climber and you were just gonna end with like "I'm glad G-Fuel was there for me" lol
The sherpas are truly GOAT! One saved my aunts life on Everest! My aunt climbed Everest, and she started suffering from altitude sickness/hypothermia and just wanted to sit down on the snow to “rest”. The group was running late, the sun was setting, and they were still in the danger zone 😬 so leaving her there might have cost her life. It’s difficult to rescue people that high! So a Sherpa, a skinny younger gentleman who was about 5 feet tall, who they had paid as their guide, kept telling my aunt: Here, I can carry you! We must keep going!” My aunt is a bit above average in height for women (5’9 if I had to guess), and she was fit but not tiny:) so even in her disoriented state, she would look at the Sherpa who was so much smaller than her:) and resentfully say back “…..I guess I can walk a little further”😂 just because she didn’t want him to have to carry her! In her oxygen starved brain, she was very annoyed with him 🙊 And this process repeated over and over again until she was safe again at the highest camp:)! According to her (once her brain was working normally of course), this man absolutely saved her life 🙌🏻 and he was so sweet, sunny person that if she did fall, he would have done everything in his power to carry her. So yeah:) we don’t deserve sherpas, they are AMAZING. And I hope whatever that man is up to now, he is happy:) Ps, they do have a very probable identity for green boots! They think he was Tsewang Paljor who perished on the mountain with an Indian climbing group 😔
fun fact: the man who nearly died had actually already climbed mount everest 3 times and trains other people to climb mount everest. most likely he felt ashamed that he out of all people had to be rescued considering he trains ppl to go up the mountain. regardless, it’s utterly insane to not show any gratitude towards the people who actually saved his life
What's sad is that he 100% had Sherpas with him those previous 3 times. You'd think he'd have more appreciation for these people if he made that treck often.
Sherpas are absolutely incredible, athetically and it seems morally also. I'm not the kind of person who would climb Mt Everest, but if I did and my peak run got disrupted for saving someone's life it would make me all the happier. Lots of people climb the mountain, not many people get saved from the "death corridor".
I'm from a reasonably poor part of malaysia, we got a lot of tourists, we joke about them getting in trouble trying to brave our own mountains and jungles, and it truly warms my heart to see that weve developed enough as a country to have started our own exports of dumbasses.
I remember a case where climbers were stuck on a mountain and during the rescue the sherpa was constantly yelled at and put down during the rescue operation and ended up dying trying to save the people. I've heard of so many cases where they nearly die saving people during expeditions even though the common mentality is to abandon people due to the vast majority dying when attempting it. Even when treated terribly they will still do everything they can to help, which is really noble.
The best part is that you can just leave them to die and nobody would blame you, but these people seriously do this from kindness of their hearts and receive nothing in return
Reminds me about the two climbers/hikers that had to be rescued from a mountain in Bavaria last weekend. Instead of thanking the rescue team afterwards they instead started arguing and insulting them, because they were forced to leave some stuff, like a sleeping bag, behind. Some people are just too full of themselves to even realize what's really happening around them.
I remember a story several years ago where this guy got caught in a flash flood and when he was saved he thanked God for saving him and then tried to sue the rescue team for taking too long.
I feel like Sherpas never get enough respect. It always cracked me up that you see pics or vids "valiant Explorers" equipped with the best mountaineering gear of their time, to boldly go where no man has gone before and then you see some Sherpa, dressed only in a light shirt and carrying half a house worth of luggage casually walking with this guy.
Sherpa nowadays got better gear .. dont look down at them .. although their body literally different from normal human , they do wear a great gear to climb the everest
@@syahmi518 I don't think they were looking down on them, their comment sounds more like they're impressed at the sheer human resilience and strength of a Sherpa. They have the ability to do something remarkable with little gear needed, something most of the human race isn't built for without a checklist of expensive equipment.
Green Boots’ real name was Tsewang Paljor, who was a member of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police. In 1996, he was part of an expedition attempting to summit Everest from the North Ridge. Theres his name, dude was an awesome climber, but a storm hit before the summit, and he decided to try to hit the summit before descending. Pretty cool/sad story
The beautiful irony that this reflects terribly on him and his sponsors. Great press for the wonderful Sherpa who rescued him. That Sherpa deserves a reward and respect.
It’s even worse when you realize these incredibly talented individuals who have mastered the ability to climb in extreme environments, are paid the same amount as a minimum wage or less, and all the money for hiring one, goes to some Rando Company
kind of a useless ability if they only use it for sightseeing. but I definitely agree that they should get more money than the rando company if the rando company is taking too much.
i read the book "into thin air" by jon krakauer when i was in high school and it STILL haunts me. it's such a brutally honest look into what these expeditions are truly like, and that they often end in so much suffering. the sherpas who lead these expeditions and save the lives of climbers really are angels.
They are not angels and in many cases they will hold up Expeditions trying to extort the westerners for more money simply because they can. They know you are stuck up there and they will threaten your life. There are dozens of RUclips video showing the Sherpas getting incredibly violent because they randomly decided to change how much money they want. The Sherpas who live in this area live like kings compared to the rest of the citizens in town due to the huge paychecks they receive from climbing the mountain at the whole times a year I've been following Everest climbing for many years and many times I have been absolutely appalled at the behavior of the Sherpa people. Does that mean they all behave like this? Of course not. But this Western notion that these are these amazing noble people who just get taken advantage of by the evil white man is absolutely Preposterous and shows you have little to no idea what you're talkin about
That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero.” - Stan Lee
He help because he wanted to help. Who said it must be done, why? He is not a superhero, nobody asked him to help and he should not expect any praise in return, it was his own decision, not a request. If he wanted thanks - should have threatened to leave the guy there until he begs on his knees and sings praise.
Malaysian here. The news of the guy not thanking the sherpa not only is embarrassing but ruins the image of Malaysia. The sherpa deserves MORE than a thanks in social media. I hope that the Sherpa gets more recognition and awards, and I hope that every Malaysian should learn this mistake and hoping they do NOT repeat the same mistakes again.
The fact that you would thank people who gave you the ability to almost perish instead of the heroic sherpa that carried your frozen body down the tallest mountain in the world completely baffles me
@@TheThreatenedSwanby that logic you shouldn’t thank anyone for their service? Someone close to you gets murdered? Ah don’t worry people die everyday it’s the norm in most of the world
this story hits home, i had a near death experience while on holiday in cyprus, i was swimming at the beach near the resort i was staying in and went a bit too deep in, a man who i will never forget pulled me out of the water as he had noticed a very strong current had formed nearby. i was none the wiser and i owe my life to this man wherever you are just know that im thankful beyond words, even if i was too flustered and to thank you in person. Edit: I forgot to mention that at the time I was only 14 years old and very naive but also stupidly stubborn going out deeper despite my parents telling me not to. The only other thing I remember about this man other than the obvious was that my mother later told me he was currently active or ex Royal Navy. The facts are a bit hazy to me it happened so fast.
it's actually just insane, almost unfathomable, that there are people capable of carrying a fully grown man on their back for six hours, down a snowy mountain and with very little oxygen. I don't know anyone in my life who is capable of picking up a person their size for even a little bit.
If someone saved my life, I would dedicate my entire life back to them. Hell, I would still feel like I wasn't thanking them enough. Huge L on the guy who didn't thank that kind man who saved his life.
Exactly. If I were the guy who got saved, I'd be inviting that sherpa to every future family event for the rest of our lives. No way I could be ungrateful to someone who saved my life.
Or, just a few ( I mean, not a few, but you get the idea... ) bucks out of your kindness of your heart and your knowledgeable of the situation, should be enough...
Shout out to the Sherpa. Man is straight up built different with how he was able to carry that man down a mountain for SIX HOURS AND not even be upset about not being thanked for it.
I know you mean it as a joke but Sherpa's litterrally are built differrent. They have a special gene found only in areas such as Nepal which leads them to have a more effecient blood stream allowing them to better deal with the lack of Oxygen at high alititudes. It's the reason why they are so intrumental in climbing Everest because when the average climber has long ceased to be a functioning being a sherpa is still capable of acting.
A lot of the people who go to Everest now seem to be highly narcissistic and treat their own lives and certainly the lives of sherpas as cheap. This is a difference between these climbers who are often very privileged, and the much humbler foreigners who they are paying to work under them, and that can carry all the ugly dehumanizing prejudices. A lot of people honor foreign climbers in both life achievements and deaths without regard to sherpas who reach those same heights and die in sometimes greater numbers, not to mention so often saving lives. There is a culture of callousness wherein climbers have allegedly put people in great risk or even left them to die just to achieve their climbing goal. And sherpas are the greatest casualty of that callous narcissism.
Also keep in mind that a lot of deaths on Everest occur when people try to save others. It may seem heartless, but there's an unspoken rule that if you see someone in trouble, you almost always have to move on anyways. Trying to help wastes precious time, energy, and oxygen, as well as depletes your supplies. Not only do you throw away any chance you had of reaching the summit, but very likely you're risking your life as well. I recently saw a graph of the nationalities of all the recorded deaths on Everest, and most nationalities had basically a handful of deaths (2-7 usually iirc). Meanwhile, the death poll for Nepali who acted as Sherpas dwarfed all the other deaths combined. It was something like 300 deaths.
@@ralphwiggum3463 Uh, it's not like that. People can't stop to help others, because that normally results in their death as well. It is an extreme struggle against burning lungs up there, just hauling your own body. To try to help someone else off the mountain is really extreme. Sherpas are a rare breed, they've been climbing the mountain since they were young and have extremely adapted lungs to the low-oxygen. Regular people have almost no chance of helping another climber who has grown too weak to transport themselves. If everyone stopped to help, the result would be a continuous stream of people dying trying to help others, the tragedy growing and growing.
i mean thats an obvious statistic, of course sherpas are going to have the most deaths. they’re the ones who live there and go up with each of those people.
This reminds me of that lady that passed out in water and a man saved her and them she tried to sue him for violating her personal bubble without permission or something. Those sherpas are incredible hats off to them. Those are real men in the modern day.
@@phil_zupra_b5880 I guess they should Pay for their mistakes, is this dark ? Yes but if they arent fazed by fact they were saved for death and want to make the rescuer's life worse, you bet that entitled head will fall back where it belongs.
I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to climb Everest and Lhotse back in 2013. On top of performing a rescue like this in the Death Zone, one major aspect of this feat that was not recognized was how STEEP the trek is from Camp 4 down to Camp 2 is. For context, on the South side (through Nepal), you have to go up the Lhotse Face from Camp 2 to Camp 4, which is 30-40 degrees incline with glacial ice. If there's little to no precipitation on the face, you have to really force your feet into the ice to keep your grip, even with crampons. I can't express how painful and exhausting of a trek it is going from Camp 4 to Camp 2, let alone with a full HUMAN extra of weight on your back to throw you off-balance. While there are fixed lines, if you fall during any of the transitions on this face, you are toast. What Gelje and his fellow Sherpas were able to accomplish was nothing short of superhuman feat. I'm still completely dumbfounded how they could physically pull this off. It blows my mind how many climbers are so insanely full of themselves to not recognize their Everest expeditions are not possible without Sherpas. Just a reminder, these Sherpas were not obligated to save this man as attempting a rescue of this magnitude is insanely dangerous at that high of altitude. This is a testament to how amazing, unselfish, and kind-hearted Sherpas are. It's truly disappointing and disgusting that this climber cares more about sponsors and clout versus thanking the incredibly brave people who saved him. He is not a true member of the climbing community. To Gelje and the other Sherpas who risked their lives and saved this ungrateful man, you are legends and from all of us, THANK YOU!
Reading all this makes me think of this guy as an even bigger loser than I thought he was, thank you for showing me the anything is possible TheWuuDee, and thank you for writing such a long comment, I know that took a long time
I knew someone who is one of the guides for everest. A few years ago he was out climb for fun with his best friend when they got stuck in a snow storm and unfortunately his friend was killed by hypothermia and the guy I knew carried his friends corpse down the mountain after the storm passed. It really messed him up and he's finally seeking treatment for his trauma almost 6 years later.
I was held hostage at Touristtrap hotel in Kenya when one of the guides crawled trough the airvents and systematically killed the terrorists and saved us all. Thank you so much Raid Shadowlegends for making this trip a reality.
@Nicholas Brooks But then Sherpas realized they were dummy thick and the clap of their ass cheeks was alerting the guards. They had to prepare for a fight!
@@nova_supreme8390 🤣🤣🤣 Honestly I just started replaying MGS V and I must say.. Big Boss is so damn thick that I’ve gotten spotted because I sort of lulled off a bit gazing upon his greatness.
The dude even blocked his rescuer afterwards because he didn't want it to affect his reputation as someone who could reach summit without a problem as he has a stake in a few companies.
every time i watch charlie’s videos while getting high it feels like i’m at a smoke sesh with that one talkative stoner and i’m so zonked but invested in the story and then he goes “but yeah” and you know the conversation is over
maybe the Sherpa's were using Nord VPN which is why he didn't notice them rescue him since they were completely incognito so he assumed it was his sponsors
As a Malaysian, that dude received a huge backlash. In the interview he thanked sponsors like some dweeb celebrity and blocked the sherpa on social media.

The Sherpa gelje did the right thing. He did something impossible. Saving life is important. And we should also be thankful to the Chinese client who understand saving life is more important than summiting Everest.
@Wynn I think the Chinese client is the guy who hired the sherpas in the first place, the guy that was dying was not the sherpa's client. The sherpa cancelled the trek with the Chinese client to save the shmuck that was freezing.

My family went on a cruise in Mexico back in 2008. This was the summer before starting high school for me. We were on an excursion at this quiet beach cove when it started raining a bit and the tides got bigger. Somehow a I got caught in a riptide as I was playing on the shore. One moment the water was below my knees, and the next thing I knew, my feet got yanked from the sand and I couldn’t feel the floor anymore. I wasn’t a strong swimmer (and still not). Luckily this random guy named Mike heard my gargled screams for help from the shore. I literally would be dead if it wasn’t for Mike. It’s been 15 years and I still tell people this story
“There are a lot of people I’d like to thank for saving me from that burning building, but none was more important than RAID SHADOW LEGENDS. Without them I would’ve had no chance, so thank you again to RAID SHADOW LEGENDS for saving me and my family from being burned alive in our own home.”
I would feel so incredibly horrible that someone actually went through something like that to save me. To not even think of them is just baffling to me. Dude I feel bad asking for a glass of water this dude literally carried you on his back. Some people don't deserve to be saved 😢
I'm literally screaming!! I've been so pissed and embarrassed as a Malaysian (all of malaysia is screaming) I can't believe how rude he was. He even blocked the sherpa on Instagram
@@Tom-sd9jb he did for a while before he unblock the Sherpa again. The sherpa literally commented on one of the people who bash the guy for being ungrateful that he was blocked and after a huge backlash the guy unblock the sherpa and then apologize for it which is stupid and embarrassing.
I have a friend who is a sherpa who guides people on many expeditions! I'm always amazed at the tenacity and mental and physical fortitude that the entire guide teams exude.
Just a correction he isn’t unidentified people just don’t care to remember his memory. He died in 1996 in the storm. His name was Tsewang Paljor. At least in the book Dark Summit written by Nick Heil and I believe John Krauker mentioned him in his book Into Thin Air
@@pumkin610 Most life on Earth has died before you were born, millions and millions of years of dead dinosaurs, tens of thousands of years of dead humans. It's pretty crazy.
I used to believe that people don't change until something really bad or life changing happens to them. But lately I've been starting to believe that most people just don't change at all no matter what...
Hahaha yeah. Atleast that seems to be the case with egotistical people. They are too far gone into their delusions of granduire they only see the rest of the world as their slaves and don't feel gratefull if someone does something out of their kindness to them. They are just like "well yes of course, I deserve the best treatment cuz I am a King and you all are my servants." They have often used people their whole lifes, never once saying thank you and they continue to be like that their whole life. They expect to be treated like a god at all times and demands it, that's why they also have such anger issues when anyone ever says no to them. They legit get toddler tantrums and is abusive when they don't get their way. If you have any humbleness in your heart you can still change. But ego is permanent.
@@zebnemma This is called a narcissist and they very rarely change. Narcissism I believe is currently called a personality disorder, but I think the medical community is considering removing it as such because a disorder requires someone to understand that they have a problem and narcissists don't. Instead, it will just be seen as a personality, as there's really no "cure" except for the person finally learning to be introspective about their behavior and consciously making an effort to change.
I think that people who can change, even if it is difficult, tend to get their start with big events like this. It isn't immediate, and I'd bet money that the guy was personally thankful regardless of his social media messages, but I bet this whole incident is forcing him to rethink his current priorities and start considering things he hasn't before, especially after seeing that footage. Change can take a long time, even after big events, if their current state of being is built on years or decades of foundation. Some people might not change, but I don't think it is because they are incapable, I think it is because they haven't had the right experiences yet. I believe most if not all people are capable of change, the question is always whether they go through with it and come out the other side once they reach the precipice, or if they will slip back down into old habits. Something I think is also possible (no idea if it actually happened though) is that he didn't even write that sponsor statement personally, he might have had someone write it for him since he was so rattled and ill, and that person neglected to mention the sherpas because of the sponsor pressure, with the actual guy writing a follow up thank you after the backlash informed him of the statements lapse in judgement.
I'm glad someone like you on RUclips tells the truth. Keep up the good work brother. Don't forget all these people that climb leave all there garbage behind. They don't even pick up after themselves.
I'm glad you mentioned like the cost of Everest a little bit, because it's honestly a huge issue. There's a couple days to summit a year, and Nepal will never limit the number of climbers cause they need the money from the expeditions, but there's so many people that you're waiting in line to summit for hours at a time. It's honestly sad. Look up pictures of like 2013 and beyond and you'll see just people waiting one behind another in huge lines. It's a safety issue now with the number of people going.
If you read Into Thin Air you’ll see that this was an issue even in the 90s. Everest is no longer a mythical feat of human resilience, it’s just another place we’re leaving our trash
@@campbell9825 I’m reading that in one of my summer classes right now, Sherpas are really the driving force of many of these expeditions and do all this for job security.
It should be noted that a Sherpas business is completely reliant on the amount of successful trips they have under their belt, which gets them more clients, and they have a short window to get those successes in the season. The fact that they canceled the whole trip to get this guy down and he showed no gratitude is wild. I’d be giving that man my life savings if the climb got fucked up because of me and he still got me off that mountain.
I think the dudes probably gonna get a lot of business now. He's just proven himself as a wonder human who is extremely strong and knowledgeable in front of the whole world.
@@Falcodrin Gelje Sherpa is already a quite famous guide, he did IIRC, 8 of the 8000m peaks with Nims Purja during his world record run and he was part of the group that summitted K2 in winter for the first time (he was also the youngest of the group). I'm not sure if he's gone on to do the rest since but as of a few years ago he'd done 11 of the 14 8000ers, including most of the extremely dangerous ones like Annapurna, K2 and Nanga Parbat. Dude has an incredibly impressive resume. His work with Nims put him on the map but this will definitely add to his legend for sure.
There was also a story in China where a female climber almost died near peak. There's apparently a rule that if it's above certain height, people no longer have the responsibility to save you because it's too dangerous. But in this case, another climber still chose to give up on his climb and to save this woman. He also got another climber on the way to help. They had to pay a sherpa $10k to help. But after the woman woke up at base, she refused to pay the $10k to her saviors... The people saving her had to cough up their own money on top of the cost of their own expeditions.
Yeah. I've commented about how this behaviour is likely rooted in wealth itself, as research even links wealth to antisocial behaviour. It's simply money that corrupts people, they loose all sense of what is good and right to do for their fellow people.
Green boots (Tsewang Paljor or Dorje Morup) was actually moved. Nobody knows where the body went, if it was retrieved, pushed off the edge, or moved off the path where he's buried by snow. No person/group has admitted to moving the body. But yeah, there are a ton of bodies up there. The Rainbow Valley is a constant reminder of people who weren't so lucky and didn't have guys like Gelje who could help.
Even more disgusting that he was up there alone, putting others in harm to rescue him because he's too cheap (despite his 'sponsors') to properly fund a safe expedition.
I think it's fair to say most or all people who solo it are doing it for the challenge of doing it solo, not because they're just cheap. If you were cheap you just wouldn't do it at all because solo or not it's still expensive AF.
I hate that mentality. Climbing the mountain is already dangerous it's like saying you're putting others at risk because you didn't wear your seat belt let people live their lives and mind their own business
@@JasonDevil06 is this bait? Not wearing a seatbelt *is* dangerous for other people, when your corpse gets catapulted out of your windshield like a projectile. And what this guy did wasnt “living his life”, it was him nearly getting himself killed, forcing the sherpas to risk their lives carrying him down, AND ruining their clients climb too
Imagine being at the death's door, but then thanking your sponsers but not the rescuer. How hard is it to thank the rescuer, seriously? Heartfelt words and some decency to show gratitude.
Recently a french youtuber released a documentary in wich he trains for a year then climbs Everest with his team. The documentary higlighted the abysmal behavior of tourist climbers. The guys team got some oxygen bottles stolen during the night in the death zone because people had failed their first attempt and wanted another free try. People go up there untrained, creating litteral roadblocks, not because the mountain is hard, but because they're not abble to do mountaineering basics.
Freezing temperature, mountainous terrain, tools weight, human weight, thin atmosphere, snowy-icy surface, and on a limited time, yet all paid in no thanks and a little wage.
The sherpas that helped this man have the kind of generosity and kindness I’ve always strived to have. Unfortunately no good deed goes unpunished and in this case hard recognized. I hope the man who nearly lost his life soon realizes exactly what was gifted to him, a second chance that would not have been offered, had the Sherpa decided to keep on with his hired client. Also carried on another mans back for 6 hours??? How can you not recognize what an incredible feat that is alone.
For real. Feels like the more I do for others, the more they expect from me. I don’t need a thank you or anything, just don’t take advantage. It’s been making me bitter over time. Hopefully you find the magic formula to keep going. It’s rough and people will use you as a stepping stone before tossing you like trash if you’re not careful.
I have SO MANY negative feels about this. I went down an Everest rabbit hole not that long ago, those sherpas do so much of the work. But you mentioned how it’s changed over the last decade… and I think it’s important to highlight how over crowding led to a good bit of deaths in 2018. (Maybe it was 19?) as well as the uptick in climbers has led to less respect for the mountain, and how it’s now being trashed.
I can't even carry my backpack with my work stuff through an airport without getting needing to take it off. The fact that he was able to lift a grown ass man on his back and down a MOUNTAIN for SIX HOURS is mind-blowing to me. What's even more mind-blowing is the fact that the guy who was rescued didn't even think to say thank you.
And consider that it was already very high on the mountain, where the temperatures are extreme (not _the most extreme_ but still _pretty fckin bad_ temps) amd the air is thinner, having to carry their supplemental oxygen and extra weather equipment. Sherpas are just built different.
@@Fay7666 The thing with Sherpas is, they shouldn't be used as human mules by rich asshats, we should study their DNA or something cause what they do borders on superhuman.
These Sherpas seriously aren't human. What an absolute beast, carrying a grown man on his back all the way down Mount Everest! What are they made of!? Absolutely legendary.
I think I heard somewhere that they have more dense muscles so they look pretty small but are ridiculously strong. Something to do with the oxygen and altitude.
I guess he was true to himself and decided to start living his second one as he ended his first one: Being an entitled dunce, just only looking out for nr 1.
Sherpas have one of the if not the most dangerous job in the world. They make routes up the mountains, not just Everest, all of the massive mountains people wanna climb, they help set ropes, set trails, clean up after people, and help recover the dead or dying if they can. These men and women deserve to be seen in the same light as any other dangerous and well respected job. Because they literally go into a place called the death zone and do it year after year. All the while having the highest death toll on those mountains. They are something else entirely and deserve all the respect and thanks we pampered, soft foreigners can give.
Atleast Sherpa's have gear now. Earlier ones, back when Everest climbing was considered a superhuman feat, they didn't even have oxygen tanks. Also they're incredibly strong and biologically adapted to breathing in the thin oxygen poor atmosphere up there
To the hero who saved him: thank you for risking your life to save another, If you see that particular guy again up there, you can probably keep on keeping on.
They had the soul and heart to see this guy and save him and then had the honor and pride to be content with saving the life. The Sherpa never asked for thanks and when he did FINALLY get it he just says thanks hope you recover well. We should all take a second to learn from this guy. As for the dude who got saved I don’t know what’s going through his mind. It literally costs you nothing to just say thank you
Imagine you save a man's life risking your life and then he whispers in your ear, "Opera GX is the greatest browser of all time"

Considering it isn't uncommon for someone who is struggling to be left behind due to the potential for the rescuer to endanger themselves in the process, that person was risking themselves to save him. Truly a heart of gold.
There's like a strange obsession with some guys to say they left someone behind as like a badge of honour but like I've said before about climbing as a spot;
No wonder that people whose entire personality is "me climb bigger rock than you" are psychos.
One person had to be abandoned because the weather was bad and it was getting dark and would place the sherpa's in too much risk. So the next day when the sherpas started their climb up the mountain, they were expecting to see the man's frozen corpse... but somehow through physical strength, endurance, and willpower, he had kept himself alive all night long without anything protecting him from the elements.
The sherpas helped him down the mountain, and he survived with some bad frostbite (think he lost toes and fingers, can't remember now). You never know what can happen on Everest!
@@RavenMobile Your story goes against everyone else’s so it’s a lie. He was found by a business competitor who was a Sherpa helping a group of Chinese climbers who canceled their ascent to help him.

It all comes down to ego. Objectively thanking his sponsors and not his rescuers diminishes his utter failure to be a climber. He would have to be a little humble for 60 seconds out of his life, and that's just absolutely impossible for some people to admit they messed up.

Yeah this video made me think the Sherpas gotta have the most thankless job of all probably. They help privileged people up and down this dangerous mountain risking their own lifes too. If you are about to die on mt Everest nobody has to help you, not even the Sherpas as far as I know. I heard that helping a dying person on mt Everest is too dangerous as it can quickly deplete your own energy so you die too. It's just too much a risk. Everyone who is up there made the gamble of "if something goes wrong I could be a goner". Doesn't matter how rich you are, at mt Everest everyone is equal to how dangerous it is and nobody to call if something happens. So then to be one of the few lucky ones who do get his sorry ass life rescued cuz of this guardian angle sherpa and he doesn't even get a thank you? OMG... Being a hero requires not needing the validation of getting a thank you, knowing you saved a life is the reward. But even so... The guy who got saved deserves the hardest face slap ever by his own mother for this disrespect and ungratefulness.
If you see one tell him thank you from polish woman. Our people also climb Mount Everest and might be or might been svaed one day by sherpas. I'll tell my fellow Poles who sherpas are.
Another point that's missed out in all mentions of this story... Gelje was actually the "expedition assistant" for another client, not for Tharumalingam.
Gelje saved Tharumalingam's life AFTER he scolded his client for continuing with the expedition instead of giving priority to save a fellow climber's life. He had to scold and convince his client, telling him that his higher priority was to save a life instead of just taking his client up to the peak.
These guys who get rich without human connections... they just don't get it. They're sociopaths.
I once broke my ankle and some kind lady saw me in the parking lot of the ER, got me a wheel chair, and pushed me to the front and I nearly cried. I still think of her kindness.
So to be carried like a baby for 6 hours and “forget” to thank them? Absolutely selfish. Disgusting behavior honestly
For real, I still think back to a girl complimenting my hair clip and it makes me smile; apparently the climber blocked gelje sherpa and then unblocked him after getting so much heat and then he FINALLY thanked him.

Acts of kindness no matter how big or small are all precious. Too bad some people are so consumed by their own ego to not realize the worth of these kind of acts.
Old habits are hard to break eh?
But do you know where the worst place to break your ankle is? That’s right, ONLINE! That’s why I use NordVPN…
It needs to be stressed how rare it is to rescue someone from Mt Everest. In the majority of cases, people are literally left to die because there’s nothing that can be done to save them. That’s how crazy this environment is.
For this Sherpa to perform the rescue, he had to put his life in extreme jeopardy. It’s akin to running into a burning building.
Came here to mention something like this. Definitely needs to be pointed out more.
It's akin to running into a burning building blindfolded and doused in gasoline!.
Massive respect to the Sherpa and his crew.
I'd say it's significantly worse than running into a burning building, because we do have far more volunteers, equipment, and general human experience to do exactly that. Firemen are trained and deserve respect, sure, but I wouldn't say it's akin to what happened here :p

I climbed to Everest base camp a few years ago in a group of about 15 people all from the U.K. I was sponered to be there but everyone else came from posh backgrounds with lots of money. The way some of those people treated the Sherpas was embarrasing at times. I quickly made the decision to shun most people from the group and only hang out with the Sherpas. The six of them on my team were the coolest, bravest most kind hearted people you could ever hope to meet! While the others were spending their evenings on the three week trek with their noses in books or on their phones I was in the back rooms with the Sherpas sharing their weed and whiskey with me and taking the piss out of each other. It's fucking embarrasing how some entitled western people behave, it's not a race thing it's a western thing. But the Nepalese and especially the Sherpas put up with it because tourism is the main economy of their country and they'd be fucked without it. Doesn't make it right though. I can picture exactly what sort of guy this was but am glad people can see what a dick he is!

In the military, carrying a wounded man on your back out of a dangerous area, saving their life, is worthy of medals and admiration. Those that are rescued praise their saviors, their battle-buddies, the medics, Dust Off, the surgeons. They don't praise their recruiter, and only their recruiter.

Almost drowned when I was 15 at the beach, I will never ever forget the bearded man who saved my life for as long as I live. I couldn’t imagine being so far up my own ass that I intentionally don’t thank the very people who saved me. Thank you again Mr. David
Glad your okay!
I don’t think he forgot who saved him, he just directed his gratefulness to the wrong people.
@@SophisticatedDogCat I don’t think he forgot either, he just didn’t want to for whatever reason. If he were grateful he would’ve mentioned everyone who saved him by name imo
@@Nonessentialsquid thank you
I'm sorry that happened and that's a good point, but I thought this was gonna be like a parody of the climber and you were just gonna end with like "I'm glad G-Fuel was there for me" lol
The sherpas are truly GOAT! One saved my aunts life on Everest!
My aunt climbed Everest, and she started suffering from altitude sickness/hypothermia and just wanted to sit down on the snow to “rest”. The group was running late, the sun was setting, and they were still in the danger zone 😬 so leaving her there might have cost her life. It’s difficult to rescue people that high!
So a Sherpa, a skinny younger gentleman who was about 5 feet tall, who they had paid as their guide, kept telling my aunt: Here, I can carry you! We must keep going!”
My aunt is a bit above average in height for women (5’9 if I had to guess), and she was fit but not tiny:) so even in her disoriented state, she would look at the Sherpa who was so much smaller than her:) and resentfully say back “…..I guess I can walk a little further”😂 just because she didn’t want him to have to carry her! In her oxygen starved brain, she was very annoyed with him 🙊
And this process repeated over and over again until she was safe again at the highest camp:)!
According to her (once her brain was working normally of course), this man absolutely saved her life 🙌🏻 and he was so sweet, sunny person that if she did fall, he would have done everything in his power to carry her.
So yeah:) we don’t deserve sherpas, they are AMAZING. And I hope whatever that man is up to now, he is happy:)
Ps, they do have a very probable identity for green boots! They think he was Tsewang Paljor who perished on the mountain with an Indian climbing group 😔
fun fact: the man who nearly died had actually already climbed mount everest 3 times and trains other people to climb mount everest. most likely he felt ashamed that he out of all people had to be rescued considering he trains ppl to go up the mountain. regardless, it’s utterly insane to not show any gratitude towards the people who actually saved his life
talk about *EGO*
What's sad is that he 100% had Sherpas with him those previous 3 times. You'd think he'd have more appreciation for these people if he made that treck often.
@@margaesperanza exactly!!
It’s called racism.
@Northstar_004 how is it racism how did you get to that conclusion
Sherpas are absolutely incredible, athetically and it seems morally also. I'm not the kind of person who would climb Mt Everest, but if I did and my peak run got disrupted for saving someone's life it would make me all the happier. Lots of people climb the mountain, not many people get saved from the "death corridor".

I remember a case where climbers were stuck on a mountain and during the rescue the sherpa was constantly yelled at and put down during the rescue operation and ended up dying trying to save the people. I've heard of so many cases where they nearly die saving people during expeditions even though the common mentality is to abandon people due to the vast majority dying when attempting it. Even when treated terribly they will still do everything they can to help, which is really noble.
The best part is that you can just leave them to die and nobody would blame you, but these people seriously do this from kindness of their hearts and receive nothing in return
Reminds me about the two climbers/hikers that had to be rescued from a mountain in Bavaria last weekend. Instead of thanking the rescue team afterwards they instead started arguing and insulting them, because they were forced to leave some stuff, like a sleeping bag, behind.
Some people are just too full of themselves to even realize what's really happening around them.
The most tragic stories in life are the ones about shitty people not dying.
Yeah, rich spoiled people tend to think like that, and since it’s gate kept with an expensive entry, you’ll just see more of it.
Most Bavaria coded Story I’ve heard in a long time, Bavaria makes everyone extremely egotistical
Maybe this is generous, but that could be a shock/trauma response maybe?
I remember a story several years ago where this guy got caught in a flash flood and when he was saved he thanked God for saving him and then tried to sue the rescue team for taking too long.
I feel like Sherpas never get enough respect. It always cracked me up that you see pics or vids "valiant Explorers" equipped with the best mountaineering gear of their time, to boldly go where no man has gone before and then you see some Sherpa, dressed only in a light shirt and carrying half a house worth of luggage casually walking with this guy.
Sherpa nowadays got better gear .. dont look down at them .. although their body literally different from normal human , they do wear a great gear to climb the everest
@@syahmi518yup after lots of protests and shits, they have better gears now than before. Before, it would be mostly homemade.
@@syahmi518 Yes, nowadays maybe. But I meant the old days, when western explorers who came there weren't just rich tourists.

Green Boots’ real name was Tsewang Paljor, who was a member of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police. In 1996, he was part of an expedition attempting to summit Everest from the North Ridge.

The beautiful irony that this reflects terribly on him and his sponsors. Great press for the wonderful Sherpa who rescued him. That Sherpa deserves a reward and respect.
It’s even worse when you realize these incredibly talented individuals who have mastered the ability to climb in extreme environments, are paid the same amount as a minimum wage or less, and all the money for hiring one, goes to some Rando Company
It's ridiculous that companies are even allowed to get away with that kind of thing. Like, they should have to pay those people more
kind of a useless ability if they only use it for sightseeing. but I definitely agree that they should get more money than the rando company if the rando company is taking too much.
This also depends, the elite rescue teams get 10x than the sight seeing ones but the majority do get paid a lot less.

i read the book "into thin air" by jon krakauer when i was in high school and it STILL haunts me. it's such a brutally honest look into what these expeditions are truly like, and that they often end in so much suffering. the sherpas who lead these expeditions and save the lives of climbers really are angels.
Didn't even know this book existed. Thanks for recommendation!
They are not angels and in many cases they will hold up Expeditions trying to extort the westerners for more money simply because they can. They know you are stuck up there and they will threaten your life.
There are dozens of RUclips video showing the Sherpas getting incredibly violent because they randomly decided to change how much money they want. The Sherpas who live in this area live like kings compared to the rest of the citizens in town due to the huge paychecks they receive from climbing the mountain at the whole times a year
I've been following Everest climbing for many years and many times I have been absolutely appalled at the behavior of the Sherpa people. Does that mean they all behave like this? Of course not. But this Western notion that these are these amazing noble people who just get taken advantage of by the evil white man is absolutely Preposterous and shows you have little to no idea what you're talkin about
Thanks for the recommendation 🙏🏾

I know you mean it as a joke but Sherpa's litterrally are built differrent. They have a special gene found only in areas such as Nepal which leads them to have a more effecient blood stream allowing them to better deal with the lack of Oxygen at high alititudes. It's the reason why they are so intrumental in climbing Everest because when the average climber has long ceased to be a functioning being a sherpa is still capable of acting.

A lot of the people who go to Everest now seem to be highly narcissistic and treat their own lives and certainly the lives of sherpas as cheap. This is a difference between these climbers who are often very privileged, and the much humbler foreigners who they are paying to work under them, and that can carry all the ugly dehumanizing prejudices. A lot of people honor foreign climbers in both life achievements and deaths without regard to sherpas who reach those same heights and die in sometimes greater numbers, not to mention so often saving lives. There is a culture of callousness wherein climbers have allegedly put people in great risk or even left them to die just to achieve their climbing goal. And sherpas are the greatest casualty of that callous narcissism.
Also keep in mind that a lot of deaths on Everest occur when people try to save others. It may seem heartless, but there's an unspoken rule that if you see someone in trouble, you almost always have to move on anyways. Trying to help wastes precious time, energy, and oxygen, as well as depletes your supplies. Not only do you throw away any chance you had of reaching the summit, but very likely you're risking your life as well.
I recently saw a graph of the nationalities of all the recorded deaths on Everest, and most nationalities had basically a handful of deaths (2-7 usually iirc). Meanwhile, the death poll for Nepali who acted as Sherpas dwarfed all the other deaths combined. It was something like 300 deaths.
This hits hard after hearing the story
@@ralphwiggum3463 Uh, it's not like that. People can't stop to help others, because that normally results in their death as well. It is an extreme struggle against burning lungs up there, just hauling your own body. To try to help someone else off the mountain is really extreme. Sherpas are a rare breed, they've been climbing the mountain since they were young and have extremely adapted lungs to the low-oxygen. Regular people have almost no chance of helping another climber who has grown too weak to transport themselves.
If everyone stopped to help, the result would be a continuous stream of people dying trying to help others, the tragedy growing and growing.
@@RavenMobilethe Nepalese have a genetic mutation that allows their blood to function with very low levels of oxygen. Look it up.

Incredibles suing supers moment.
I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to climb Everest and Lhotse back in 2013. On top of performing a rescue like this in the Death Zone, one major aspect of this feat that was not recognized was how STEEP the trek is from Camp 4 down to Camp 2 is. For context, on the South side (through Nepal), you have to go up the Lhotse Face from Camp 2 to Camp 4, which is 30-40 degrees incline with glacial ice. If there's little to no precipitation on the face, you have to really force your feet into the ice to keep your grip, even with crampons. I can't express how painful and exhausting of a trek it is going from Camp 4 to Camp 2, let alone with a full HUMAN extra of weight on your back to throw you off-balance. While there are fixed lines, if you fall during any of the transitions on this face, you are toast. What Gelje and his fellow Sherpas were able to accomplish was nothing short of superhuman feat. I'm still completely dumbfounded how they could physically pull this off. It blows my mind how many climbers are so insanely full of themselves to not recognize their Everest expeditions are not possible without Sherpas. Just a reminder, these Sherpas were not obligated to save this man as attempting a rescue of this magnitude is insanely dangerous at that high of altitude. This is a testament to how amazing, unselfish, and kind-hearted Sherpas are. It's truly disappointing and disgusting that this climber cares more about sponsors and clout versus thanking the incredibly brave people who saved him. He is not a true member of the climbing community. To Gelje and the other Sherpas who risked their lives and saved this ungrateful man, you are legends and from all of us, THANK YOU!

Was yours a private expedition or a commerical one? Ive been trying to work out the logistics of both.
I knew someone who is one of the guides for everest. A few years ago he was out climb for fun with his best friend when they got stuck in a snow storm and unfortunately his friend was killed by hypothermia and the guy I knew carried his friends corpse down the mountain after the storm passed. It really messed him up and he's finally seeking treatment for his trauma almost 6 years later.

They have often used people their whole lifes, never once saying thank you and they continue to be like that their whole life. They expect to be treated like a god at all times and demands it, that's why they also have such anger issues when anyone ever says no to them. They legit get toddler tantrums and is abusive when they don't get their way. If you have any humbleness in your heart you can still change. But ego is permanent.
@@zebnemma nothing is permanent but change require significant amounts of effort. if you can change so easily, you would become millionaire easily.
Wonder what it’s gonna take for that guy to change then, cuse apparently a near death experience doesn’t do it
@@zebnemma This is called a narcissist and they very rarely change. Narcissism I believe is currently called a personality disorder, but I think the medical community is considering removing it as such because a disorder requires someone to understand that they have a problem and narcissists don't. Instead, it will just be seen as a personality, as there's really no "cure" except for the person finally learning to be introspective about their behavior and consciously making an effort to change.
I think that people who can change, even if it is difficult, tend to get their start with big events like this. It isn't immediate, and I'd bet money that the guy was personally thankful regardless of his social media messages, but I bet this whole incident is forcing him to rethink his current priorities and start considering things he hasn't before, especially after seeing that footage. Change can take a long time, even after big events, if their current state of being is built on years or decades of foundation. Some people might not change, but I don't think it is because they are incapable, I think it is because they haven't had the right experiences yet. I believe most if not all people are capable of change, the question is always whether they go through with it and come out the other side once they reach the precipice, or if they will slip back down into old habits.
Something I think is also possible (no idea if it actually happened though) is that he didn't even write that sponsor statement personally, he might have had someone write it for him since he was so rattled and ill, and that person neglected to mention the sherpas because of the sponsor pressure, with the actual guy writing a follow up thank you after the backlash informed him of the statements lapse in judgement.

I think the dudes probably gonna get a lot of business now. He's just proven himself as a wonder human who is extremely strong and knowledgeable in front of the whole world.
@@Falcodrin Gelje Sherpa is already a quite famous guide, he did IIRC, 8 of the 8000m peaks with Nims Purja during his world record run and he was part of the group that summitted K2 in winter for the first time (he was also the youngest of the group). I'm not sure if he's gone on to do the rest since but as of a few years ago he'd done 11 of the 14 8000ers, including most of the extremely dangerous ones like Annapurna, K2 and Nanga Parbat. Dude has an incredibly impressive resume. His work with Nims put him on the map but this will definitely add to his legend for sure.
There was also a story in China where a female climber almost died near peak. There's apparently a rule that if it's above certain height, people no longer have the responsibility to save you because it's too dangerous. But in this case, another climber still chose to give up on his climb and to save this woman. He also got another climber on the way to help. They had to pay a sherpa $10k to help. But after the woman woke up at base, she refused to pay the $10k to her saviors... The people saving her had to cough up their own money on top of the cost of their own expeditions.
Yeah. I've commented about how this behaviour is likely rooted in wealth itself, as research even links wealth to antisocial behaviour. It's simply money that corrupts people, they loose all sense of what is good and right to do for their fellow people.
Don't waste time tring to save white people.
@@lVideoWatcherl right? People who grew up wealthy seem to be disconnected from reality.
"Thank you, hope you are recovering well" What an actual GIGACHAD

Green boots (Tsewang Paljor or Dorje Morup) was actually moved. Nobody knows where the body went, if it was retrieved, pushed off the edge, or moved off the path where he's buried by snow. No person/group has admitted to moving the body.
But yeah, there are a ton of bodies up there. The Rainbow Valley is a constant reminder of people who weren't so lucky and didn't have guys like Gelje who could help.
I think you mean lucky to have sponsors
I think I read somewhere that he was buried where he was. In any case he has been identified.
I saw in another comment that a 2010 Chinese expedition is confirmed to have retrieved the body.
Even more disgusting that he was up there alone, putting others in harm to rescue him because he's too cheap (despite his 'sponsors') to properly fund a safe expedition.
I think it's fair to say most or all people who solo it are doing it for the challenge of doing it solo, not because they're just cheap. If you were cheap you just wouldn't do it at all because solo or not it's still expensive AF.
I read that his team abandoned him. gelje wasn't even part of his team
I hate that mentality. Climbing the mountain is already dangerous it's like saying you're putting others at risk because you didn't wear your seat belt let people live their lives and mind their own business

@@JasonDevil06 is this bait? Not wearing a seatbelt *is* dangerous for other people, when your corpse gets catapulted out of your windshield like a projectile.
And what this guy did wasnt “living his life”, it was him nearly getting himself killed, forcing the sherpas to risk their lives carrying him down, AND ruining their clients climb too
Imagine being at the death's door, but then thanking your sponsers but not the rescuer. How hard is it to thank the rescuer, seriously? Heartfelt words and some decency to show gratitude.
Imagine dying and no one knowing who you are.Then being named green boots and used as a waypoint.
He actually is identified now.. and they STILL call him green boots lmaoo
@@Jeff-cr9ho lmao
Tsewang Paljor is his name if anyone's curious
Well i'd honored. Using what left of me as a waypoint to other is pretty cool
@@theunknowman12 to be fair it's nearly impossible to get some bodies off the mountain, so it's for the best the they're left as markers and reminders
Huge respect to sherpas who literally risk their live to save others. Tourists should show some love to them while visiting nepal
Imagine you cancel your trip to save somebody and the dude just starts spitting "thanks raid shadow legends without my ssr ork i would have died"
Recently a french youtuber released a documentary in wich he trains for a year then climbs Everest with his team. The documentary higlighted the abysmal behavior of tourist climbers. The guys team got some oxygen bottles stolen during the night in the death zone because people had failed their first attempt and wanted another free try. People go up there untrained, creating litteral roadblocks, not because the mountain is hard, but because they're not abble to do mountaineering basics.
I’m still hung up on the fact that bro was able to carry an entire other human being DOWN MOUNT EVEREST 💀💀💀 What a literal fucking tank holy shit 😭
I swear sherpas are a different breed. They do crazy shit like this all the time
Freezing temperature, mountainous terrain, tools weight, human weight, thin atmosphere, snowy-icy surface, and on a limited time, yet all paid in no thanks and a little wage.
You dont have to kiss the ground they walk on, but damn at least say thanks to the men who saved you. Glad he's okay even still. Props to the Sherpas.
Glad he’s ok? Why?
@@karabinashe may be ungrateful but doesn't need to die
@karabinas beacuse hes a person, a shitty one, but still a person. What did he do that constitues death or serious injury?
The sherpas that helped this man have the kind of generosity and kindness I’ve always strived to have. Unfortunately no good deed goes unpunished and in this case hard recognized. I hope the man who nearly lost his life soon realizes exactly what was gifted to him, a second chance that would not have been offered, had the Sherpa decided to keep on with his hired client. Also carried on another mans back for 6 hours??? How can you not recognize what an incredible feat that is alone.
For real. Feels like the more I do for others, the more they expect from me. I don’t need a thank you or anything, just don’t take advantage. It’s been making me bitter over time.
Hopefully you find the magic formula to keep going. It’s rough and people will use you as a stepping stone before tossing you like trash if you’re not careful.
Namaste to a hero, Gelje Sherpa . The ENTIRE world climbing community is grateful to you.
I have SO MANY negative feels about this. I went down an Everest rabbit hole not that long ago, those sherpas do so much of the work.
But you mentioned how it’s changed over the last decade… and I think it’s important to highlight how over crowding led to a good bit of deaths in 2018. (Maybe it was 19?) as well as the uptick in climbers has led to less respect for the mountain, and how it’s now being trashed.
4:24 I was fully expecting a Raid Shadow Legends sponsor
I can't even carry my backpack with my work stuff through an airport without getting needing to take it off. The fact that he was able to lift a grown ass man on his back and down a MOUNTAIN for SIX HOURS is mind-blowing to me. What's even more mind-blowing is the fact that the guy who was rescued didn't even think to say thank you.
Well he put in the work to be that strong, he deserves to be praised for Saving that man, if he wasn’t strong enough dude was dead
And consider that it was already very high on the mountain, where the temperatures are extreme (not _the most extreme_ but still _pretty fckin bad_ temps) amd the air is thinner, having to carry their supplemental oxygen and extra weather equipment.
Sherpas are just built different.
@@Fay7666
The thing with Sherpas is, they shouldn't be used as human mules by rich asshats, we should study their DNA or something cause what they do borders on superhuman.
The sherpas should’ve just let nature take its course
The low oxygen up there must have killed 90 percent of this person's brain.
These Sherpas seriously aren't human. What an absolute beast, carrying a grown man on his back all the way down Mount Everest! What are they made of!? Absolutely legendary.
I think I heard somewhere that they have more dense muscles so they look pretty small but are ridiculously strong. Something to do with the oxygen and altitude.
They are made of poverty. Poverty will make you strong, bud.
Make the kkk more diverse.
@@TheRealBillix So you're telling me they're canonically built different?
@@Exxperiment626 I dunno man, I know some pretty weak crack ho3s.
imagine getting a second chance at life and this is how you use it
I guess he was true to himself and decided to start living his second one as he ended his first one: Being an entitled dunce, just only looking out for nr 1.
Sherpas have one of the if not the most dangerous job in the world. They make routes up the mountains, not just Everest, all of the massive mountains people wanna climb, they help set ropes, set trails, clean up after people, and help recover the dead or dying if they can. These men and women deserve to be seen in the same light as any other dangerous and well respected job. Because they literally go into a place called the death zone and do it year after year. All the while having the highest death toll on those mountains. They are something else entirely and deserve all the respect and thanks we pampered, soft foreigners can give.
"I almost died, but let's take a second to thank today's sponsor Raid Shadow Legends"
Atleast Sherpa's have gear now. Earlier ones, back when Everest climbing was considered a superhuman feat, they didn't even have oxygen tanks. Also they're incredibly strong and biologically adapted to breathing in the thin oxygen poor atmosphere up there
To the hero who saved him: thank you for risking your life to save another, If you see that particular guy again up there, you can probably keep on keeping on.
I’m sure the guy who saved him doesn’t give a fuck if he was thanked or not and he would do it all over again.
They had the soul and heart to see this guy and save him and then had the honor and pride to be content with saving the life. The Sherpa never asked for thanks and when he did FINALLY get it he just says thanks hope you recover well.
We should all take a second to learn from this guy.
As for the dude who got saved I don’t know what’s going through his mind. It literally costs you nothing to just say thank you
