Met this man today. He was very attentive and kind. Knowledgeable as well. I got the feeling that he did care about people.
yeah, he is a warrior !
good for you, I wish I have an opportunity to meet up with him personally.
This video need to be shared with all the climbers ... very useful stuff
And he even gave up his helicopter ride that had come to rescue him because he said another climber was worse than he was, what a nice guy
Ken Kamler ..a wonderful speaker an good doctor..
Wasn't there a point after which Beck turned up at camp where he spent a night and everyone thought he had died again and didn't check, and set off without him, leaving him for dead a second time until a straggler heard him shouting? This story makes it sound as if he walked in, got some oxygen and was airlifted straight out
He was left behind, left for dead twice.
The day that he walked into Dr. Kamler's tent, was the beginning of his salvation....he was still at the mercy of death.
Yes
@7:12 if you fall to your left, you are. Going to fall 8000 feet into Nepal. If you fall to your right, you are going to fall 12000 feet into Tibet. So it's probably better to fall into Tibet because you LIVE LONGER !!! 🤣🤣😂😂😂
Brilliant theory 😂
I don’t understand how is this only 104k views.
"Into Thin Air" is a good recount of this Everest story. By Jon Krakauer.
His Into the Wild is very good also!
An EXCELLENT read.probably my favorite book..
He’s a great writer but was quite biased in his rendition of the story, Anatoly boukreev’s book the climb is also a great read on what happened up there from the most Capable athlete of them all
That should be a standard form of measurement. "a yak load"
I don't understand some of the hate. Everybody have their own personal purpose. If you don't, then you probably don't understand why climbers do what they did.
My god! That will to survive made me cry with joy!
Don't ever count us Texans out.
Yes, Rob should have half of his will to not leave his family at home he might have got down
That year's climbing series has spawned more books, movies and inspirational talks than any other climbing season on any other mountain. It wasn't the worse season on Everest, but with the presence of the IMAX team and the other notable teams, we have "Into Thin Air" and other great tales of survival and doom. If you liked this, check out the TV series Everest... two 10 part seasons following one guide and his paying clients. Great stuff.
I read the full story in "Into Thin Air'. It's a very sad real story. But, Beck was the guy there. I wish I could meet him one day
For a copay and a trip to Dallas Texas you can
If you want to read this story in its entirety, the book is called 'Into Thin Air'. Its brilliant.
@rafaravioli
That guy was called Rob Hall, he was one of the best mountaineers in the world and he would have survived had he left one of his clients behind to die. Plus, he did this for a living, guiding people up Everest was his source of income. Furthermore they set out in perfect weather conditions and there was literally no reason for them to believe that this storm would come up.
Please do some research first next time you speak badly about dead people.
RIP all great mountaineers.
senetiinsanity- exactly! Rob will forever be legendary mountaineer!
Probs shouldn't have ignored the 2:00 turn around time tho. Personally I think the fact that so many of the people there were amateurs is what caused all the delays that led to everyones deaths. The sherpas were busy half dragging the weaker climbers that they didn't have the energy/time to fasten the ropes at the second step
Never speak ill of the dead
Nifty speech. If he gives it again, I suggest he brings out that dude Beck. He would have killed it, the place would have exploded in appplause.
The 2 men sitting behind Dr Kamler could not look any less interested in what is an excellent presentation
I'm in my early 20's and have been to Base Camp. A lot of climbers are in their 30s and early 40s. This seems to be due to endurance thresholds being higher at those ages.
And yes, it really is that tough up there. At Base Camp, there's half the oxygen there is at sea level. It still sounds like a lot, but it means your diaphragm has to expand all the way down to your stomach to draw in air. I only went to Base Camp, and it's the hardest thing I've ever done, by a huge margin.
😳🙏🏾🙌🏿
I like how he made that joke even though he's experienced death first hand.
The special people who climb these very tall mountains have my complete respect.. They did and are doing something I could never do considering I have a fear of heights, and hate the cold... I'm just fine watching and hearing about it from all those brave ppl... I've just discovered that a double amputee has summit this monster of a mountain.. That blew my mind... Much respect...
He still laughs out loud at his own joke about falling into Tibet, he must have told the same joke 50 times
Brillant lecture Doctor.
Beck Weathers man...what an incredible guy.
maybe i'll cross climbing mount Everest of my things to do list.
I still do not understand what they are trying to find on the top of that mountain..
It really is an ego thing - because I mean, they get up there and then they have to come down straight after otherwise they die... just so that in the end they can say "I was in the top of the world". I mean, to risk your life just to say those words.. that is ego over life..
I loved an enjoyed this video..
@rafaravioli Yeh ! No sympathy for anyone who dies on a space mission as well !! Its called human endevour.And " the guy" was a person called Rob Hall who you might want to find out about before showering your judgement on him.
"Into thin Air" covers most of it and was one away from the pulitzer.
You climb the mount everest while your wife is seven months pregnant?
I don't even know if there's a word for that...
Just plain awefull.
When Christopher Columbus first went to his royal family to tell them about his idea to find a way to india sailing west, he was told the same.
until he found someone who found it worth trying.
If humans weren't that way, we would still sit around a waterhole in africa collecting fruits and runing from everything thats a danger to us...
Amazing things happen everyday!
I get butterflies just watching someone going over one of those cravases, and I really mean that I get actual butterflies
Could someone pls explain this?
How come, on top of Everest where the air is rarefied, winds are so strong? I mean, wind is based on air, right?
Tnx
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; ... who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never tasted victory or defeat. -- Theodore Roosevelt
you must not think what i have accomplished through you could have been accomplished through any other means - an unknown consciousness
@xjustamem0ryx I doubt you will ever do anything as courageous as this. These men went through a whore of an ordeal, whilst following their passions.And that makes them "poor, pitiful men"? More like legends!
17:17 How do you spell the name for that part of the brain? Thanks!

It's a shame that Rob didn't have half the motivation of beck about not leaving his family he might have got down
Interesting talk. But bottom line the lesson was: Anyone who goes there is just stupid....
If you feel compelled to, there are ways to risk your life or test yourself to the limit without being just a stupid tourist doing something pointless.
For no good reason? Everyone is different with different passions... most of us view climbing up Mt Everest as pointless but to them its their lives and its unfortunate for them that their passion is extremely dangerous. It's just something they had to do, you might not agree with it but belittling the dead is just low.. some soldiers also leave their unborn child/children because they may feel such a strong compulsion to do what they feel is necessary.
Easier to have sympathy for people who never take a single risk in their lives and yes, still die... yet cannot say they did something as amazing as this?
Rob Hall would have been the first person to tell someone else to leave doug and save himself. He should not have needed telling he was the one in charge of the expedition
And he should not have allowed doug to carry on to the top it was already past his cutoff time, and surely he knew doug was not strong enough to get down and he was far too slow. He broke all of his own rules and yes he left his wife to raise their child that he would never see, totally irresponsible
@rafaravioli
it's not for no reason. some people like to break the limits of possibility, to do the impossible. I am pretty sure that this way of thinking is not even their fault. humans are design to be that way. this is how we evolved. i am not saying that trying to climb the Everest is a good evolutionary choice, but that breaking limits and surpassing ourselves is. those people died doing what they liked and there is no point in saying they're stupid now. lets just respect the dead .
@rafaravioli and all the thumbs uppers. It's a great thing that we as humans are not all alike. If we all thought like this way, there would be no US, the world would still be flat and humans wouldn't get much further than the cave door.
@kinsmed A lot of them do, I think. Many speakers need a very long portion of their time until they finally get to their point. So usually the ends of those talks are very exciting, but the beginnings relatively boring.
I'd wish they could spread parts of their points into earlier minutes of their talks to build up the excitement for the final part.
Overall the talks are very interesting, but not very well presented...
Especially the one with a pregnant wife at home, well done...
Rest in peace
It seems Rob didn't have enough red in his brain
Wow.
Just wow...
@Sideways0J you know how it is its a miracle when god saves one child in the same earthquake he killed twenty thousand
@GrudgyDiablo Not taxes. Climbing everest is expensive - the climbers pay plenty for climbing equipment, survival gear, keeping base camps running etc. AFAIK that's all paid for by the climbing expeditions (i mean who else pays for it?), not taxes.
The climbers can pay for this as well.
It could even be run as an privatized ultra-successful self-sustaining private charity. Everest climbers are rich people - save lives every season and it would pay for itself with grateful donations.
TED speakers are allocated 18 minutes.
Doesn't it seem that they spend 17 airing out their credentials, then think they can cram their point into the last one?
Awful is how you spell it correctly. And plenty of people put their lives in danger every day, regardless of their loved ones. They were doing great things and living their dreams.
@liquidminds There is a difference When
i say i want to put my head inside a lion's mouth and
when i say i want to discover what inside
the lion's mouth i hope you get it..
Cool talk!
Maybe a bit long of a video though
A comet I have never heard of that before
Interesting...
he could have used his willpower to stay home.
Bahahahha
Mark Roth gave a talk on suspended animation and low oxygen environments. I am thinking that these two talks are related.
His little sarcasm is dumb
get over yourself, a life is a life and should be treated as such. It makes no difference wheather these people died living ordinary lives, or died dangerously climcing everest. They do not ask for your sympathy, but please respect the dead.
climbing everest without oxygen messner+habeler 1978
Is an oxygen rebrether the same as one for undersea, meaning you get more oxygen than what you can carry. So basically it goes on forever is that right does anyone know
@rafaravioli yer.. its a very selfish pursuit.. but omg its worth it, but those who say its worth it have never died.. so they cant really comment on what its "worth"
It don't like it when people ascribe special "miracle" attributions to one person's story, and seemingly ignore the failure of miracles for the less fortunate casualties. Did the other people not care about their families enough? Did they not pray hard enough, or correctly?
I would prefer a more rigourous approach to hypothesizing about what variables might have lead to the increased access to "will power" *if* we are to assume that is what saved him. Not *imaginary* brain scans.
hah, if these people got so motivated by their families to survive hypothermia, why the hell would they traverse mt. everest in the first place?
why respect the dead, do they have a problem with any actions taken against them ?
ken why you do not talk about tha
guy who went up there without oxigen
It's the oxygen levels in the air.
Not trough, there’s was another doctor, Dr Hutchinson from Montreal!!
hahaha i noticed that too and it really really annoyed me i almost threw a hammer on the screen!!
well he did it not only in 78 he came back in 80 to doit again
his name is Messner
@tubehax im not saying to respect the dead for the sake of the dead, i am saying to respect the dead out of common respect for human life, and for those who might have lost a family member or a loved one to mount everest. It is quite disgusting of you to show know tact or apathy for those who have lost a loved one. Even if you do not sympathize with them, keep your useless comments to yourself so others do not have to feel the pain of you belittling death.
Hello
How do you pee on Everest?
I read, last year, a book called "Life and Death on Mount Everest," and it was fascinating. It makes a little clearer the motivation for people to do this in the first place, and I recommend it. It's written by a woman named Sherry B. Ortner.
@Fullcontact83
damn straight. I'm climbing everest in 2013. hell yeah!
Its 2019. Are you still with us?
@@jeffcastleberry5541
Yes J am
Did u climb it
Guess he's not with us
Both guides had the weather reports
That is not true. If you listened to Dr Kamler , he said no one was aware the storm was coming. I’m going to believe the people that were actually there, then 1 loser who does nothing but make videos discounting everyone’s account of what happened who were actually there. Michael Tracey is a loser who is obsessed with krakauer.
drink some water MAN!~
Yes!!! OMG that was driving me nuts!!!
@teleomorph ...face is swollen from cold
@ggp1983
he could just as well had showen "this is his heart rate, had we had measured it, maybe, I think so, could be.
How about "this guy left his pack, went back down the montine, than heard his friends were in trouble, so he climbed up, went into the med' tent, said a "funny" joke, and made up the part about *laying dead in the snow*". couldn't that be what have happened?
You're not!

@elthammob
which is self interest / EGO -- more than 1 billion people in this world go to sleep ungry every night, and these are going up the, staying there for 10 seconds, and then come down -- and you call this a "high achievement" / "victory" -- lol... silly
So true :) hahaha Pretty annoying, isn't it? :)

He was not the only doctor on the mountain. Outright falsehood.
Not impressed by this lecture.
He was NOT the only doctor on the mountain. First, there were several doctors climbing. They may not have been in a position to treat patients, but they were there. and some of the expeditions had doctors at camps.
He also makes some mistakes in recounting Beck weather's story-the duration was not as many days as he said.
And, we have no idea what really went on in Beck's brain.
