I solved the altitude problem with Mount Everest. You guys can go there and freeze your cojones off. I bought a new Mount Everest calendar at the dollar store. I have nice beautiful pictures each month of the mountain. Have fun guys! I’m enjoying these beautiful pictures of Mount Everest chillin’ here in Miami Beach!
I'm a nerd so I was hoping for a little more science... Like let's talk capillary hydrostatic pressure causing the edema and how pressure and volume are inversely proportional therefore things expand up there :-)
Awesome. Wait a second about pooping in the snow. I thought climbers were required to bag it up so it wouldn't contaminate water etc further down the mountain when snow thaws?
Every animal on the planet poops on the ground and no one complains about that. Heck even humans did until a few hundred years ago. Bagging up the poo from a desolate area and bringing it back to an urban area to dispose of it makes zero sense.
@@MrAdamdumont89 humans did until a hundred years ago and it killed thousands by cholera and other waterborne diarrheal infections. By now we can do better.
Peppertree133 T The point is, all those bacteria already exist in virtually every body of water already. That’s why all municipal water supplies are treated. Humans not pooping on the mountain won’t change your water
@@MrAdamdumont89 maybe, but the level/ concentration of, say, e. coli bacteria matters, not just the fact that it's in there. They close beaches based on high levels of e coli, but not bc they're just there.
Stupid question but can climbers remove their blood from lower altitude and 're' inject when at higher altitude for some sort of relief or substantive performance advantage with regards to reaching the summit and back down?
This could backfire, as the body compensates for altitude and kidneys thicken the blood with EPO to increase RBC's/Hematocrit as you ascend. Good old deep breathing, nutrition, and hydration are key but I like your inquisitive mind. You would also want to avoid running an IV line because if the puncture gets infected, it will heal much slower up there. Always lots of hidden factors in medicine.
Well her only safety was holding on to the ropes, and due to the heavy backpack she was carrying, I don't think she would be able to hold on to those ropes in case of a balance loss. Unless she was a power lifter which she definitely didn't look like.
What sort of achievement is that when you have everything set up and even others carrying your crap. Climb the mountain and carry your own stuff, be a real mountaineer!
Poo in the snow! Which doesn't decompose at altitude. High camps stink. The highest rubbish dump on earth is disgusting. Now K2 is becoming disgusting too. Disgraceful from braggart climbers. No love for the mountains. Just pollution.
I am not a climber, but i found this video simply fascinating and educational. Thank you for this video.
Thanks so much!
well done Melanie! great Video! Drs Simon and Helen, HRA, Pheriche
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.
Was searching "How does to feel to be high?" and this popped up in the search results XD

Fantastic video, very well done. Planning for a base camp and surrounding areas hike in the next few years and this information was incredible.

Agreed. Most of us know about this!
What are time limits for survival above 8,000 metres and what happens?
Great video thank you.Stay safe and best of luck!
Fascinating and informative video
I couldn’t do this . I have asthma and suffer from allergies and headaches .
How of the vertical limit is factual?

Not yet, though it would probably be sensible if some guidelines or regulations were imposed.

They say 80% of climbers don't belong on this mountain.. she didn't look so comfortable crossing that ice ladder
Well her only safety was holding on to the ropes, and due to the heavy backpack she was carrying, I don't think she would be able to hold on to those ropes in case of a balance loss. Unless she was a power lifter which she definitely didn't look like.
I need info for a essay
Ok
Bro who is putting a gun to your head to make you do this, God, when she said oh you might have to shit in the snow she lost me.
Kumbu cough is just HAPE
I get the same results from smoking...way cheaper too.

Khumbu cough, ancient virus straight out of the crevasses of the glacier.
no flat earthers in here spouting poo i see.
Bunch of lunatics...
