    I'm shocked at how they got some of these shots back then. I mean camera equipment had to be heavy as sh*t.

      I know right?
      Tragic that Sherpas died, for what?
      The mountain is collecting more than 200 bodies up there already. More every year go to brag about climbing the tallest mountain.
      Sadly, it's just about money and ego, and pride.
      It's no place for a ski resort!

    I watch a lot of videos about climbing Everest today and see how things have changed and not for the better. 100’s queuing to get to the top. People not fit enough. No time to spare for those dying at the side of the path. No care or attention given to the Sherpas or their culture. This may be slow paced, but is about culture, people and endeavour.

    honestly, what did the team think would happen...?
    Utterly idiotic and ridiculous... that moe deaths did not occur is surprising!
    Everybody knows skiing on ICE is impossible, they knew that it was 90% ice!
    The loss of 6 Sherpas is tragic and really futile for an ego trip...

    • @KayakCampingOffGrid
      @KayakCampingOffGrid Год назад +2

      @@crystalmprincess15 Well actually no. They are called SNOW SKIERS. Otherwise the name would be ICE SKATERS, where the proper and appropriate equipment is required.The name is self evident. The altitude of Everest is 8848 Metres or 29,0290ft. This extreme height exposes the terrain to ferocious weather and it is well understood that snow does not remain long, if at all, even after a fall. Furthermore, ski resorts apply grooming machines when ice build up occurs to protect the paying customers from injury.

      @@KayakCampingOffGrid So I’m a little confused. I ski, and I’ve lived in the Rocky Mountains for years, I have never heard is called “snow skiers” before but I do know that we ski on snow whether it be natural or machine generated. When you corrected me I got further curious and what I have found is “it is the fastest racing game over the ice”, “downhill skiing needs icy regions like a mountain or hill which is being covered by ice for allowing the gliders to slope over to reach the bottom” “skiing is fun and with the proper equipment it is the best ice game ever played”. I’m sure you’re much more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to competitive downhill skiing, I am just a recreational skier. Would you mind explaining this to me? Thanks!

      Suggest you watch the run and observe him slipping sideways before falling...
      He stopped in a patch of snow, lucky, because the deep crevasse was waiting to swallow our hero.
      As far as your stated home in the mountains, and supposedly that qualifies you as a seasoned skier, I call BS. You are not kidding anyone, except yourself.

      Must have been pretty smart, if not 'sharp'. He managed to not panic and to get himself stopped in impossible conditions. and then, he was smart enough to just set a quick safety and wait for help to get him out of where he got into. Pretty good planing. I saw this back in 1973, when I was eleven years old. My only real thought was that he should have carried a second chute to stop him at the end of the descent. Now, I just think he should have carried a different type of second chute and glided down to the base camp after duffing his drag chute. Now TRHAT would be something to see.
