The commentator said something very profound. The will to win can be even stronger than the will to survive. That is why most people will die on the descent.
this is just folly.. EVERYONE is going to die: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. This life is short ... get right with God through Jesus Christ for eternity!

How did you summit the mountain when you started to hallucinate palm trees 🌴 growing out of the snow? I thought when hallucination starts to set in. That is the sign for a climber to descend to a lower altitude?
Why weren't the other climbers that died with Allison mentioned here, well their names that is, are their lives less meaningful, did they have no family at all anywhere. For the family of those climbers I feel sorry... They had no say in this at all, but now I guess just need to suck it up.
15:37 spectacular sunset is right! I'm sorry Alison didn't make it back to her children 😔 Her son died as a teenager in a subsequent mountain accident, too 😣
Edward that's a shame. She talked about being homesick and thinking obsessively about her kids while at high altitude. And that's ironic because she could have been with them if she wanted. Her ego was more important than those dear children 😫
@@houseofsolomon2440 I hope no one heralds her as "heroic". She abandoned her family on a 'personal journey of discovery' (read ego-fest). Her husband even refused to believe she was dead, discounting witnesses who saw her body. What a mess! Her kids were absolutely devastated. But ok, let's double down & applaud her ability to ignore all those around her who loved her so much. Do your thing, Alison. Who cares about those adorable kids, anyway. Husband should be ok, as he was in denial @ her death.

Oh dears! K2 is the most Hardest among all 8000's.yet Annapurna has the death toll because new climbers climb MT Everest first and then others, Leaving K2 at the end because a mountaineer knows without the experience of Other 8000's, K2 simply become suicidal mission.Those who died at Annapurna among them only 2 or 3 of them summit K2 and other never even tried K2. Those who died on K2 90% of them having Annapurna and other 8000 peaks in their hands. Those who come to K2 wither they succeed or not but most of them having other 8000's peaks in thier hands Or atleast 2 summits Annapurna and NangaParbat (Only then they dare to go for K2). Summit other 8000 peaks is a kind of certification for K2. K2 having the highest percentage of failed expeditions then others. I personally love Mt Everest it looks like a Joint beast is setting on earth.very very very beautiful Mountain and then of course the nameless mountain of earth K2, Standing alone and playing with the mind of best high altitude climbers. Such a obsession.
+jawad akram Right now a handful of climbers are on Nanga Parbat in an attempt to make the first winter ascent of the mountain, IF they are successful it leaves only K2 as the only mountain never beaten in the winter and I hear from guys like Moro it may NEVER be climbed in the winter
"..and his crew were without peer, the strongest group of high altitude climbers in the world." Kind of sad how that guy leaves the Sherpas and similar people out of that "class".
It's rather a pity Everest has become so commercialized. I suspect death rate on Everest is higher even than it should be these days, cause many have no business trying to climb it. When you see docs on what Hillary and Tenzing did, the romanticism has clearly been lost. That last bit after the south summit still seems unbelievable at the time; sadly all that is in the past now.
@@fred.wright that's exactly what he said? But he's wrong on the death rate, it's been getting lower on Everest. Soon they'll build a McDonald's on the summit.
@@AY-qf4pg I understand that. I was trying to say he was right and it's now basically one hundred percent commercialized and it didn't age well because it's not a good thing. I'm waiting on the McDonalds at the top and then I'll do my climb.
8,000m + mountains are so high when there’s a low pressure system in the atmosphere outer space literally gets pulled down and the climbers are in shallow space. That’s why it gets so un-earthly cold up there because you’re literally in space ! Super dangerous fact about high altitude climbing
I say this for kids of the lady that died... Any parent with children should not risk their lives with a mountain like K2. This is selfish of any climbers with kids that do risk the climb as it leaves their kids parentless, so incredibly sad. NO friggen mountain is worth dying over esp when you have people that rely on you...
David F Yes, I can see you have found your way to the list of 8thousanders at wiki :-) K2 is simply too difficult for "regular" people to climb, and they are usually the attention seekers wanting to brag about their achievements in social media. Real mountaineers don't care too much of the attention and publicity (my theory of course). I just can't see some of the top mountaineers like Messner, Ueli Steck, Simone Moro, Boukreev (rip) etc summiting some 8k peaks and immediately post it to instagram. :-) If you've seen some of the documentaries of Everest at Discovery, many of the expiditon members even admit they don't care too much about mountaineering, they just want to be on top of the world, and show it to everybody else, which I think is not the optional attitude. :-)
The sheer remoteness alone is one reason. Why lug a camera crew all the way to the Karakoram when all but two of the top 10 mountains are far easier to get to? The weather is another reason. The chances of being holed up for days, even weeks, on end... But perhaps the sheer difficulty of humping a telly-worthy camera to the top is the main drawback. Unlike Everest, K2 is far, far, far more than a high altitude fell walk with occasional steep bits with ladders in place.
I don't bother with wikipedia. Mainly the 452 climbing books I own. And travel experiences also. But there's no shame in it. It's there to be used why is it an issue ?
At 1:50 the climber shown looks like he could be the ‘green boots’ climber who died in a small cave on Everest and is still there. Has anyone else noticed this? The outfit matches exactly and the guy died in 1996 just after this documentary was made. What are the chances???
#1. So many lives would be saved if only people thought ‘Oh! The weather’s bad? Let’s not go’. Instead of ‘Oh! The weather’s bad? Let’s go anyways’. #2. If she was new to the climbing world she wasn’t a seasoned pro.
heightsofsagarmatha Most definitely! The feeling of being “buzzed” by alcohol is the OH- displacing O2 from the blood which starves the brain of oxygen. If you hold your breath eventually you’ll get the exact same feeling that being drunk causes.
What part of this are you guys not getting. 1 out 3 climbs die on K2, 1 out of 7 die on Everest. K2 is the harder of the two and it has not been turned into a business for guide services to take anybody with money to the Peak
@@DavidF9511 I went back to my less-than-current source, 'explorersweb.com' from 2014 : ( The statistics seems to shift from season to season & from source to source. I've even seen numbers as high as 30% fatality rate somewhere. Happy to let others be those statistics 😉

LOOK. AT. HER. I have to make a run for the summit there's only one open hammock left.
You should not just presume the weather is going to stay nice up there, it has been proven time and time again, it is unpredictable & can change from good to drastically bad in minutes.
Maybe she was selfish. But why does this shit only ever get said about the women?... What about those men who also died along with her, or on other occassions? Where they fathers? Did they leave children behind? Did they think about their children needing a father too, rather than thinking only about themselves and their climbing?... I guess since she's a woman, we've GOT to find some negative shit to say...
i assume that k2 summit and coming back alive is just a Luck. you can be the number 1 climber and not make it. and you can be the number 10 and come back alive. here in Pakistan people say k2 is alive.now i think it is really a living thing...
Well, people can do what they want with their lives. But taking certain risks and/or stubbornly clinging to arbitrary end-goals are going to kill you in mountains this high. I mean, trying to summit K2 right after Everest in the same season? Why?? You think that's going to be easy for your body, let alone statistically likely to pan out knowing the frequency of deadly and sudden conditions on both mountains? It sounds like a bad idea and something that is fueled more by the ambition for a specific and artificial achievement than for love of an actual experience. At least bad assuming you value your self-preservation above all other things, that is. Not gonna assume everyone does or that I can understand those who don't. And the tailgating with wine on the summit of K2 for three hours... yeah, you're asking for death. Just because you survived doesn't mean it wasn't incredibly stupid to do, and if that's the type of judgement you're going to climb with, well.... an icy grave might be waiting for you in the future. That kind of behavior doesn't really promote the idea of surviving after a summit. Like, totally the opposite, actually. What they did was analogous to a naive little fly landing on a the tongue of a yawning lion and miraculously flying away before the gaping maw of doom snaps shut. And somehow the fly had a little cocktail and camped out for a while before buzzing away. Absurdly lucky, and equally reckless.
The fact that so many choose climbing a dangerous mountain where more fail and die than succeed over being there for their family and kids actually disgusts me. If you are single and your family has passed, go for it if you want. That is the only time you aren't hurting anyone but yourself. Unless you use a sherpa who is risking his life to feed his family. Once anyone has made it to the top and back down successfully it is just whatever when all these others just follow in their footsteps. For what? It's beyond stupid. It's stupidity, ignorance, arrogance and hubris from rich people just seeking a picture and what they think as bragging rights. It's been done before. Who cares?!
A good example of the mind destroying the body ...it’s called mind over matter. The egotistical mind wanting the glory of climbing this killer mountain. It prepares to sacrifice the body that contains the mind. The body has to go through the wall of endurance for the mind. Quite often the body gives out under the immense pressure put upon it...thus both die in the end..the ego not surviving cos the body let it down. The ego never gets to brag about its selfish winner ethos..to anyone in a bar over a drink. The body cannot live up to the ego...result,, your a long time dead. Is it worth the gamble.
I get wanting to achieve something big. But I wouldn't risk my life if u had little kids and a partner relying on me. Mountain or see your kids grow up? It's just so selfish. I can't imagine justifying saying goodbye to your family to climb something so obviously dangerous.

"There's nothing interesting about climbing if it's a totally certain game." ??? How absurd - testosterone overlaid on glorious and sublime mother nature, absent spiritual poignancy
It wouldn't be morally right NOT to try and climb this mountain if you have the means. Shame on all climbers who can but won't. We need to pin more glory to the liver of K2 lest we suffer and die as a species.
what an amazing human being, very inspirational, she achieved more in her short life than most of us in twenty life times. her deat h just a tragic accident.
Sorry, she was neither amazing nor inspirational. Pathologically self-centered and criminally irresponsible would be more suitable epitaphs. The fact that she climbed the Eiger north face while pregnant should have earned her a lengthy prison sentence.

I am from Pakistani and I am from the northern areas of Pakistan 🇵🇰. K2 is about 10 Hours from my town by Jeep. I am proud of each n every inch of my Motherland. I am very happy for those who have achieved the summit. But after seeing this video, I am also very sad 😢 that the a mother and a young wife is died n never found 😢😢. On the other hand I respect those Chileans who made it and there team work and humanity save a life a of there friend. And they do not live him alone ⛰. Respect ✊ for those all.

It sounds like a bad idea and something that is fueled more by the ambition for a specific and artificial achievement than for love of an actual experience. At least bad assuming you value your self-preservation above all other things, that is. Not gonna assume everyone does or that I can understand those who don't.
And the tailgating with wine on the summit of K2 for three hours... yeah, you're asking for death. Just because you survived doesn't mean it wasn't incredibly stupid to do, and if that's the type of judgement you're going to climb with, well.... an icy grave might be waiting for you in the future. That kind of behavior doesn't really promote the idea of surviving after a summit. Like, totally the opposite, actually. What they did was analogous to a naive little fly landing on a the tongue of a yawning lion and miraculously flying away before the gaping maw of doom snaps shut. And somehow the fly had a little cocktail and camped out for a while before buzzing away. Absurdly lucky, and equally reckless.
With the sound of stupid music and howling wind noise this documentary was ruined
Yay 'Murrica. Commenator wore a skirt and carried pom-poms.
The fact that so many choose climbing a dangerous mountain where more fail and die than succeed over being there for their family and kids actually disgusts me. If you are single and your family has passed, go for it if you want. That is the only time you aren't hurting anyone but yourself. Unless you use a sherpa who is risking his life to feed his family. Once anyone has made it to the top and back down successfully it is just whatever when all these others just follow in their footsteps. For what? It's beyond stupid. It's stupidity, ignorance, arrogance and hubris from rich people just seeking a picture and what they think as bragging rights. It's been done before. Who cares?!
Now that's some shitty made-for-TV 80s music.
A good example of the mind destroying the body ...it’s called mind over matter.
The egotistical mind wanting the glory of climbing this killer mountain.
It prepares to sacrifice the body that contains the mind.
The body has to go through the wall of endurance for the mind.
Quite often the body gives out under the immense pressure put upon it...thus both die in the end..the ego not surviving cos the body let it down.
The ego never gets to brag about its selfish winner ethos..to anyone in a bar over a drink.
The body cannot live up to the ego...result,, your a long time dead.
Is it worth the gamble.
i love that old british colonialism that sparks them to call them "hills" cracks me up.
I'm sorry but that is like jumping into a pool of sharks.
Wanda Rutkiewicz was a first woman on K", she was a polish climber, what a shame that Alison died :( poor kids, RIP
Poor kids, she didn't care about family - only her selfish ego-driven compulsions. Get a grip Allison
I quit watching at 10:39!! Couldn't take it any
I get wanting to achieve something big. But I wouldn't risk my life if u had little kids and a partner relying on me. Mountain or see your kids grow up? It's just so selfish. I can't imagine justifying saying goodbye to your family to climb something so obviously dangerous.
MIQUEL is a selfish asshole for throwing away his oxygen tank sitting down and putting two of his buddies lives in danger by making them do extra work for his selfish fucking stupid ass
I wonder what Charles Darwin would say about this behavior. Do we want these genes in our pool?
All that work and almost dying just to stand their for 1 minute lmao, just seems dumb to me
Hargreaves' son is following in her footsteps. She was incapable of being an ordinary person.
Oscar Banuelos Did her son attempt K2 yet? I heard he wanted to.
@@darkwitch8648 He just died on Nangar Parbat earlier this year!
Ms Mimosa.......has anyone ever told u that u talk wayyyyy too much. 😠
"There's nothing interesting about climbing if it's a totally certain game." ???
How absurd - testosterone overlaid on glorious and sublime mother nature, absent spiritual poignancy
your idea of spirituality is very shallow
🕳🌑🌪
kurwa!
It wouldn't be morally right NOT to try and climb this mountain if you have the means. Shame on all climbers who can but won't.
We need to pin more glory to the liver of K2 lest we suffer and die as a species.
Interesting comment
what an amazing human being, very inspirational, she achieved more in her short life than most of us in twenty life times. her deat
h just a tragic accident.
Sorry, she was neither amazing nor inspirational. Pathologically self-centered and criminally irresponsible would be more suitable epitaphs. The fact that she climbed the Eiger north face while pregnant should have earned her a lengthy prison sentence.
@Dr Sr you lock people like this up for a living? So you must in turn be highly educated? How is it then you misspelled the simple word roam? I doubt your credibility sir...
What about all the men who leave kids fatherless, stop judging Alison for doing what she did.
M Czenk They’re all selfish assholes it doesn’t matter if the men or women they’re all selfish assholes who makes selfish ass decisions and leaving their fucking spouses and children behind it’s not the men versus women there are fucking assholes you fucking asshole
Dee Cohen yes, and you are the moral judge of our world
Wow that's nervy calling Alison a statistic
chair lifts to make all the 8k peaks somewhat accessible would cause an economic boom for countrieswith them in their borders. Sure the deaths will go way up, but they are dangerous so dont publicise the bad stuff. the media will go along with profits, america is a great example
Joseph Blue To reach K2 base camp You have to walk 63 Km on Baltoro glacier You can't fix heavy machinery on glaciers its impossible
not yet...wait a few decades,...no place is safe from expansion
2 years later and still no chair lifts on k2!!! Lol
Ok guys we have 3 minutes at the summit before we must go down.. what? 3 hours? Perfect! Lol
Dude was tripping at the top of K2, impressive!!! RIP to all who never made it back!
... I actually managed to find, and collect 2 polished slabs of K2 flank white granite, with those amazingly unique bright blue copper compound spot inclusions. They're looking down on me from my bookshelf as I type ...
Thomas Cervasio boring anecdote
....I have a piece of polished K2 granite also from the base of K2 .....one of my favourite pieces in my collection because of its stunning blue deposits and also because it’s the closest I will ever get to this magnificent beast!
I have one from the summit, because everyday i have to climb k2 to go to school
@@Felipe_Ribeir0 😂😂😂
Super cool 😎
Instead of noisy music please give the video natural sounds of climbing,footsteps on snow,climbers talks,their every second voice...
@Eddie Gooden you must have been the bitch guy in school
it's a documentary released many years ago
Erap Aryana He can‘t change it.
Turn your sound down/off put on closed captioning (;
It's just too loud!!
I am from Pakistani and I am from the northern areas of Pakistan 🇵🇰. K2 is about 10 Hours from my town by Jeep. I am proud of each n every inch of my Motherland. I am very happy for those who have achieved the summit. But after seeing this video, I am also very sad 😢 that the a mother and a young wife is died n never found 😢😢. On the other hand I respect those Chileans who made it and there team work and humanity save a life a of there friend. And they do not live him alone ⛰. Respect ✊ for those all. And my condolences to those who left us for ever 🌹 my God be pleased with them and give them rest in haven 🤲🏼. Pakistan Zindabad
Since when is it possible to drive to the foot of k2?
Please fire the guy who made the music for this!
LOL! I just came to post the same thing!!!
Don't watch then
@vtrevlyn39 I cant stand him already.
that's the style of the eighties dude
Madhusudhan S Fucking exactly you can’t even hear half of what the guys fucking saying stupid fucking music is not even good but it’s so goddamn loud and he even hear the narrator
Jeff Lakes (Cdn) was a childhood friend of mine. As teenagers, we skied together on Red Mtn, Rossland, BC. He got into climbing, I went to University. Ran into him in Rossland in '93... & he was talking about having become more involved in mountaineering. I told him to be careful. He was a good friend.
RIP
Jeff Lakes died on K2 1995
