For years there was a dead guy a bit further down who had green boots - and the guides knew, on the way up, to make a left at "Green Boots". They took that guy off a few years ago, and now people get lost.
In 1971, I was with three other climbers on Mt Saint Helen's (before eruption). We got into a spot that was solid ice and over 45 degrees of slope. We couldn't reverse backwards. We had to get over to a safer area, but first had to get there. We removed our ropes, because if one fell, it would pull everyone with him down too. We went single file, kicking each step in the ice with our crampons. Took over an hour to get across ice slope. I was 'a bit nervous'. Probably the most scared in my life up to that point.
@@nathanielovaughn2145 Thank you. I was the least experienced snow / ice climber in group. I had rock climbing experience, but little ice climbing. I survived to tell the tale. I found an old photo I took looking at the 3 in front of me. Ice looked like a shiny mirror at extreme angle with footholds kicked in. We got in over our heads. That part of Mt Saint Helen's north face we climbed is now scattered over 200 square miles after eruption.
@@nathanielovaughn2145Thanks... I live less than 100 miles from Mt Saint Helen's, when she erupted we got tons of ash. Maybe she was punishing us for climbing on her - LOL.
Reading some articles at the moment for more details. Here's more info: "After his collapse, Sherpas were initially able to perform CPR and managed to get him a short way down. But just a few hours later Cash died from the effects of the altitude near the Hillary Step - a near-vertical rock face on the southeast ridge. According to mountaineering reporter Alan Arnette, Cash's body is not recoverable - and his friends said 'his final resting place will probably be exactly where he wanted'."
His final resting place is exactly where he wanted... being a piece of litter, dirtying up a pristine natural landscape with his filthy decaying organic body (thankfully cold-decay i.e. doesn't off-gas or seep into the ground) and synthetic accoutrements.
The difference between people like me and the ones in this video, is the fact that they paid good money to do this, and you couldn't pay me enough money to do it. Deadly mountain climbing, deep diving, cave exploring, all hard passes.
It's never going to be something I'll never do, as I am terrified of heights, but full respect to everyone who has successfully reached the summit. Especially to all the people who lost their lives on the mountain.
Took me quite long to see, but at 0:14, just before he jumps, you can see a body just below the path, almost fully covered in snow. You can clearly see the sunglasses if you know where to look
This section makes me think of Mick Burke climbing alone in bad weather, 1975. Who knows where he fell - most likely on the descent in a whiteout. This would be a tricky bit, here, exhausted and can't see. I met Mick in Switzerland at Dougal Haston's hostel a few years before. Dougal asked him: "So, how were the Dolomites, Mick." His classic reply: "STEEP.". . . RIP, Mick.
@@munnjean On Everest, seems it's quite common for parties to split up when their pace if different. Even paired, they most likely would not have beeb roped up on this section.
For anyone confused and who missed it in the video, the death being referenced in the title of this video can be viewed at 0:14 seconds. It's a frozen body in blue climbing gear, covered with a bit of snow. The corpse is that of Mr. Donald Cash aged 54, of Sandy, Utah. He died there on May 22nd of 2019. He quit his job as a software salesman the prior December before the Everest climb in order to complete the goal of climbing the tallest mountain on each of the 7 continents. He had completed 5 of the others in prior years starting in 2015, the 6th just a month or two before his death, and Everest was the last on the list. His physical constitution at that point in his life, in his early 50s was not suited (or no longer suited) to climbing dangerous mountains and he had already experienced several life-threatening events on the previous mountains, and had permanent injuries including lost fingers and toes. He summited Everest and fainted due to altitude sickness almost immediately after arriving. He slightly recovered, able to move under his own power, and then fainted again (this time permanently) on his way back down while being aided by sherpas. After fainting he slid down to that spot you see in the video at 0:14, likely only stopped thanks to his rope anchor. Despite the body technically being "within reach" of other climbers, the sherpas (the experts) determined it would be too unsafe to ever try to recover his body with current climbing technology, so it will be left there forever or until mountain rescue technology advances to the point where bodies can be recovered from near the summit without any risk to other climbers or rescuers (such safety technology existing decades or more from now will also mean that mountain climbs have likely become trivially easy and pointless). His family has a romantic view of the death and where his body has been left, but in reality his corpse is just another piece of litter trashing up the pristine natural beauty of the mountain, and the anchoring that was left there poses an annoying logistical hurdle for other climbers who are exhausted and sometimes under mild exhaustion-related psychosis when they reach it and have to navigate past it without losing their footing, which this video demonstrates. It's terribly inconvenient when you already have to dodge other climbers going up. Mr. Cash's death was one of 5 deaths on the mountain that week alone - all corpses left as litter.
@@motivatedman9730 yeah I feel like that’s a bit harsh. And not like they’re decaying either, bodies up there are essentially preserved. Now the actual littering of human waste on the mountain.

You can clearly see the curvature of the Earth plus the Troposphere, Stratosphere and Mesophere layers as the sky above darkens. Most planes cruise only a few thousand feet higher than Everest at 35-40,000 feet. Incredible footage and must be unbelievably cold up there.

@Jeremy i said almost clown..read the content before you chime in like a school girl! I never said you were in space or on the line, I said you can almost see where the darkness of space begins.. its true, if everest were a little higher you would be able to see the curveture of the earth. Read a book you schmuck
the atmosphere doesnt "end" anywhere near 9km. At 12-15km you will basically only see black in the "sky". The Atmosphere itself expands as far as 630000km away from the Planet, as recent discoveries by ESA/NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory "SOHO" has shown.
@Sharpless2 my point is you can see the earth's curvature including the black sky above the sun line.. it's high enough that your view isn't obstructed.. but I appreciate that nugget of Space information! I never knew you could get that high that you can see the darkness from earth..super cool! There is a Redbull video where a guy goes to the actual gravity line and jumps to earth. Insane! He was free falling at hundreds of MPH.. it was wild
I heard it's 30 kPa, isn't that far more than 60% air pressure? It's exponential, and from my knowledge, air pressure is calculated by p0*exp(-(altitude/scaleHeight))
@@variegatus4674 it’s derived from gravity acting in a column of air. P = P_ref * e^(-gMh/RT) P_ref being atmospheric pressure at sea level (100kpa), h being height in meters, if we assume a temperature or 15 Celsius and put all the constants into the calculator, we find the pressure to equal 60kpa.
When i watched a video the other day of Sherpas who were striking because they only got tipped $2 a bag they hauled to the camps risking their own lives i lost the allure of these videos,especially when in that same video the group waiting to go next said the average is $15.People pay hundreds of thousands to get up the mountain with equipment and tours but the people who carry their HEAVY bags,tents,food etc up to the camps get paid absolutely nothing,its slavery and nothing else.
There’s a video on here we’re a group is trying to climb K2, and the Pakistanis they were hauling their caravan full of everything from Foode to Furniture, went on strike in the middle of it because they found out that the previous caravan made something like $20 for two weeks worth of work. If you can’t afford to pay the help a decent wage stay the f-k home. and if I hear one more person say “yeah but $20 is a lot of money in Pakistan” i’m going to ask UA-cam to do what they do best and censor them.
No it's not slavery. No one is forcing them to do carry anything. If they don't like what they get paid they can not do it. They can sell their labour for however much money they want.
While I still don't get why and what's the sole reason for all climbers that made the excitement, I commend their bravery always. Thanks for the footage!
I was severely scared of heights for a long time but when I was 13 I summited Mt. Baker in Washington and have loved mountaineering ever since. I think it something everyone no matter their fears have to experience once in their lives.
I don't think so. It's an unnecessary risk. I feel most people who do this are trying to feel "alive". There are other ways to feel alive you need to search deep within yourself. Life is too short
I'm watching this becuz I'm a Union electrician and the other day I decided to skip the last rung on my ladder...so I decided to look up the crazy lives of these elite daredevils...since I too have entered that category.
Took me awhile to see the frozen body at the start of the video. It's crazy how high this is.....if you look at the background, it's so high you can see where the sky begins to turn into space......that's super spooky to me.
It looks awesome. I don't like the idea of my body literally slowly dieing once I get above a certain altitude though. I do a lot of extreme things(Even my job is extreme, tower climbing), but I'll pass on that. Seems way too commercialized now anyway.
Been my dream since I first saw that mountain as a kid. Was blown away by the fact you need oxygen because it’s so high. Been hooked ever since. Maybe one day I could trek in to basecamp at least .🙏🏻
Ill ride witcha bill...but im summiting. no point in just visiting...which still would be hella kool just to be there...i keep thinking about it this way, your basically walking up to airplane space...gonna figure out how to keep warm up there though. And no o2 for me...
@@iansmith3261 with respect. You are one of those people that show up to Everest thinking they got this. Then your frozen on the mountain dead for eternity Just saying.
@@iansmith3261 have you ever experienced anything close to what climbing everest would be like? let alone without oxygen?? you may as well claim you’re going to do it in a t shirt and shorts as well. confidence is good but too much of it will get you killed.
I understand those who choose to climb. Mount Everest are well aware of the chance they take. If they are individuals that have trained and are truly living life to the fullest. I imagine most contribute to society and live a relatively healthy lifestyle. It saddens me when those who have such ambition succumb to mother nature, or take one wrong step, and die so needlessly.
Stupid is not synonymous with risky. Go take some sleeping pills and stay off the internet for a bit if you're gonna be a miserable little kid.@@littlemoth4956
There was a PBS documentary about climbers. They had a newbie who made a fatal mistake in that she disconnected herself from a rope....and fell. The video showed her descent and it was quite disturbing. The climb stopped to find her body which they did.
Каждый взошедший на гору должен забрать вниз свой мусор и ещё несколько килограмм. Это будет наибольшим удовлетворением после посещения вершины. Иначе это опять пустое развлечение богачей и загаживание ими планеты.
Well he's still connected to the existing line their all still using, I understand those lines get moved and changed at somewhat regular times so he's definitely not been dead long.
I was trying to carefully examine this video but I’m lost, maybe because it was out of frame. But did someone fall in that abrupt moment when the filmer turned to grab the rope?
This is actually the most dogshit take I have ever see on UA-cam. How about motivate yourself and achieve great things that make your life worth living
some will say " he died doing what he loved" I say " Well, he probably didn't love it during that last bit, now did he?" There are places on earth that man was not meant to go. that's one of them. the other one is in the deep ocean, as we learned with that homemade submarine that imploded a few months ago. If you want the best chance of staying alive, don't go places that you weren't meant to go. To those that want to try to cheat death, do something easy like, not smoking. that is all.
The scariest part to me is that every one of the people that has died mountain climbing knew the risks and the statistics and thought that they'd be alright anyways and maybd thwy were for a long time but all it takes is one wrong step and you're done
It's not even a wrong step that kills people, usually. Oxygen is very low at those altitudes. It's a tremendous strain on your body. People collapse and die of exhaustion.
Is the idea that the person is still locked on so that we can see them and remember them - that's their place of rest? Otherwise, why not remove the attachments and let them rest alone? Wouldn't less mass pulling wherever also be better? Honest question.
I do not respect those who put the lives of others at risk because they're on an ego trip. If they want a challenge and deserved respect, do it without Sherpas staging O2, lines, supplies etc. The Sherpa people do not want to be up there but they HAVE to in order to support their families, due to the rising cost of living in their home towns which is a situation that exists SOLELY due to the presence of the rich on their ego summits. Sherpas are treated like tools, but the only tools there are well... you get it. This is not a thing to respect or encourage. You haven't summitted everest unless you've done it solo or with a group of people not employed by you.
@@LateNightDateNight it's clipped from ua-cam.com/video/7ey6RarzXfc/v-deo.html filmed around 3 years ago, from what I remember the guy had died the day before
I feel like I would just succumb to my intrusive thoughts when I reach the summit. “Fall backwards”, “Jump off”, “Push someone off” it’s kinda terrifying..
Must be the scariest feeling ever. Gives me the chills Mount Everest 🗻 So much respect to those that should be there. Not so much respect though for Bucket listers with minimal or no climbing experience who put others in danger. Fascinating place, would love to visit someday. To experience the the wonderful people and culture of Tibet .. ✌️ ❤🗻
ive been wondering this too, i think it's the hillary step viewed on descent (the cameraman's perspective is one of someone who has just summited and is on the way back down to the col)
Imagine the wind up there, if u mess up packing it up. u could be draggen of the side. ight lets say u got the take off. whoops blewn into the mountain. Powerful wind. and finally. landing, landing in a crevase could end you
I may be stupid but how does he died ? He's not far away from the path, couldnt he come back on the path ? I know it's not that easy, but i have some trouble to understand how he died, if anybody can explain it to me it would be very nice
Of course, Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler summited in 1978, being the first to summit without oxygen. Some say, Messner was never quite the same afterwards; hell if I know.
It’s so sad with the deaths on there, they’ll let the families choose if they wanna get the bodies or leave them there, the ones that stay are used as waypoints to the summit.
If you wanna know why people do this start researching on meditation, best of luck for your journey. I promise you will not be disappointed.. Start searching for answers to your questions
its a dangerous decision to pick up or help other climber, because you need to know you are at a place where no help can reach, no oxygen, 1 mistake and you are dead. So they do not want to risk more lives to save 1 corpse. i hope this clears up your question.
The dead person left a Last will to remain where he died and corpses on Mt. Everest are never removed, it’s impossible to bring them down without risking the life of the recoverers. They are only moved away from the route by a few meters if necessary.
When a person falls off a mountain like this, it is not an unpleasant way to experience the death of the body. The reason is, the mind has a chance to know very clearly that it is all ending, and there is a chance to simply let go. To the extent that a person who finds himself falling off the side of a mountain lets go and completely surrenders, the fall becomes one of falling into the bliss of the Absolute/Void.
Someone is now struggling on Everest maybe even fighting for their lives, but I’m now in a cozy bed having a good summer sleep! I mean why would people go there and risk so much….

you live your life to the fullest ... just like me ...
Some climb ladders, others climb mounds.
I attempted to climb my Brothers wallet, but couldn't make it to the summit
Thank you for this beautiful view from the top of the world. It’s awesome!

Wow this mountain is so high that you can almost see where our atmosphere ends and the darkness of space begins
No you can't idiot space is another 90km above sea level
@Jeremy i said almost clown..read the content before you chime in like a school girl! I never said you were in space or on the line, I said you can almost see where the darkness of space begins.. its true, if everest were a little higher you would be able to see the curveture of the earth. Read a book you schmuck
the atmosphere doesnt "end" anywhere near 9km. At 12-15km you will basically only see black in the "sky". The Atmosphere itself expands as far as 630000km away from the Planet, as recent discoveries by ESA/NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory "SOHO" has shown.
@Sharpless2 my point is you can see the earth's curvature including the black sky above the sun line.. it's high enough that your view isn't obstructed.. but I appreciate that nugget of Space information! I never knew you could get that high that you can see the darkness from earth..super cool! There is a Redbull video where a guy goes to the actual gravity line and jumps to earth. Insane! He was free falling at hundreds of MPH.. it was wild
I’ve done several 4000ers and you feel weak and slow because of the 60%~ air pressure, I can’t imagine what 25%~ feels like.
Death
Probably feels over 2x worse
Mt Whitney which is about 14500 felt like I had asthma again- Everest really is 2x worse
I heard it's 30 kPa, isn't that far more than 60% air pressure? It's exponential, and from my knowledge, air pressure is calculated by p0*exp(-(altitude/scaleHeight))
@@variegatus4674 it’s derived from gravity acting in a column of air.
P = P_ref * e^(-gMh/RT)
P_ref being atmospheric pressure at sea level (100kpa), h being height in meters, if we assume a temperature or 15 Celsius and put all the constants into the calculator, we find the pressure to equal 60kpa.
There's statistically a higher likelihood hood of survival if you don't climb Everest
When i watched a video the other day of Sherpas who were striking because they only got tipped $2 a bag they hauled to the camps risking their own lives i lost the allure of these videos,especially when in that same video the group waiting to go next said the average is $15.People pay hundreds of thousands to get up the mountain with equipment and tours but the people who carry their HEAVY bags,tents,food etc up to the camps get paid absolutely nothing,its slavery and nothing else.
That’s awful, I had no idea they were paid so little
@@lizzytheepiclizardgibb9571 I think in their country it's a lot of money. It doesn't amend the fact that it's slavery though.
Imperialism and adventure tourism are dumb. Nurses, teachers, engineers are my heroes.
There’s a video on here we’re a group is trying to climb K2, and the Pakistanis they were hauling their caravan full of everything from Foode to Furniture, went on strike in the middle of it because they found out that the previous caravan made something like $20 for two weeks worth of work. If you can’t afford to pay the help a decent wage stay the f-k home. and if I hear one more person say “yeah but $20 is a lot of money in Pakistan” i’m going to ask UA-cam to do what they do best and censor them.
No it's not slavery. No one is forcing them to do carry anything. If they don't like what they get paid they can not do it. They can sell their labour for however much money they want.
I've always wanted to see what's on top of Mount Everest and now that I have on UA-cam I don't need to risk my life visiting it.
While I still don't get why and what's the sole reason for all climbers that made the excitement, I commend their bravery always. Thanks for the footage!
I was severely scared of heights for a long time but when I was 13 I summited Mt. Baker in Washington and have loved mountaineering ever since. I think it something everyone no matter their fears have to experience once in their lives.
I've got the same opinion, but then it's regarding drugs.
Bro how did you summit Mt. Baker as a 13 year old???
I did Mount Baker in NY. Changed my life
I don't think so. It's an unnecessary risk. I feel most people who do this are trying to feel "alive". There are other ways to feel alive you need to search deep within yourself. Life is too short
Nah I’m good
I'm watching this becuz I'm a Union electrician and the other day I decided to skip the last rung on my ladder...so I decided to look up the crazy lives of these elite daredevils...since I too have entered that category.
Of course, the views from the top are magnificent! But what efforts and labors and, most importantly, risk, this ascent requires! I couldn't!
This section must be the "Cornice Traverse" with 10,000ft drops on either side of it. Can you imagine the guts this takes?!
😂😂 nah Just Takes No brain
I feel guilty clicking on this.
Took me awhile to see the frozen body at the start of the video. It's crazy how high this is.....if you look at the background, it's so high you can see where the sky begins to turn into space......that's super spooky to me.
It looks awesome. I don't like the idea of my body literally slowly dieing once I get above a certain altitude though. I do a lot of extreme things(Even my job is extreme, tower climbing), but I'll pass on that. Seems way too commercialized now anyway.
same. i think hes a fraud. dont listen to him
@@toafloast1883 You guys are like Dunning Kruger tag team
@@mortalclown3812 considering your handle, you'd make a great opponent for these two.
If Everest is too commercialized for you, then climb K2 or Kangchenjunga, or any of the less-popular ones. Many of them are way more dangerous though
Watching the view from Mt Everest would be extraordinary, of course from the comfort of the tv
the best thing of YT climbing is i can eat pizza during the expedition
Without the snow these climbs would be only for the very technical climbers.
It'll probably all melt soon then we'll see 😂
Great point.
That's why I bring my own snow in case I find a wall that's too hard for me.
@@baggy79 imagine if the planet warms up so much that we get 25°C+ on Everest. Imagine what it would smell like with all the dead trash up there.
@@Sharpless2 Hahaha.. pretty nasty I'd say
Been my dream since I first saw that mountain as a kid. Was blown away by the fact you need oxygen because it’s so high. Been hooked ever since. Maybe one day I could trek in to basecamp at least .🙏🏻
Ill ride witcha bill...but im summiting. no point in just visiting...which still would be hella kool just to be there...i keep thinking about it this way, your basically walking up to airplane space...gonna figure out how to keep warm up there though. And no o2 for me...
@@iansmith3261 that’s cool. But I bet a million you won’t get to camp four without oxygen. Good luck with that.
@@iansmith3261 some of the best climbers in the world can’t do that. Very very few.
@@iansmith3261 with respect. You are one of those people that show up to Everest thinking they got this. Then your frozen on the mountain dead for eternity Just saying.
@@iansmith3261 have you ever experienced anything close to what climbing everest would be like? let alone without oxygen?? you may as well claim you’re going to do it in a t shirt and shorts as well. confidence is good but too much of it will get you killed.
If i went climbing and i got stuck, im sure as hell jumping and plummeting to the ground like a flying squirrel
I understand those who choose to climb. Mount Everest are well aware of the chance they take. If they are individuals that have trained and are truly living life to the fullest. I imagine most contribute to society and live a relatively healthy lifestyle. It saddens me when those who have such ambition succumb to mother nature, or take one wrong step, and die so needlessly.
i have someone in my family that climbed mt everest, and he is still alive
Why? They did something stupid and dangerous and paid with their lives. Sounds like Darwinism to me.
Stupid is not synonymous with risky. Go take some sleeping pills and stay off the internet for a bit if you're gonna be a miserable little kid.@@littlemoth4956
There was a PBS documentary about climbers. They had a newbie who made a fatal mistake in that she disconnected herself from a rope....and fell. The video showed her descent and it was quite disturbing. The climb stopped to find her body which they did.
Being disconnected for those 2 seconds would scare me
dying while looking at this scenery is as beautiful as it is sad
I have been to Mt Everest and this is one of the scariest place while descending it.
Please explain why.
@@easterwatts7426 guess
Which route is this? Did you take this same route?
If they look over the edge they're facing, it's like a 10,000 ft straight drop into China.
Yeah as if the fall alone was not bad enough
One side of Everest is in Nepal, and the other in Tibet. China doesn't share any borders with Everest.
@Ted Green Everest sits on Nepal/China border. Southern slope lies in Nepal. Northern slope is China. Tibet is a province of China
When I have problems,i look this kind of vidios , thank you 💖💖💖
Каждый взошедший на гору должен забрать вниз свой мусор и ещё несколько килограмм. Это будет наибольшим удовлетворением после посещения вершины. Иначе это опять пустое развлечение богачей и загаживание ими планеты.
Thats Donald Cash from utah resting there, died 2019. Rest in peace, what a final view...
Well he's still connected to the existing line their all still using, I understand those lines get moved and changed at somewhat regular times so he's definitely not been dead long.
Where is the dead body I don’t see it?
13 sec or so
@@M_Duhamel17 😁 here I was thinking the guy they pass who was alive was dying.
It's the body of Don Cash who died May 22, 2019. This video was taken just the day after.
I swear people are blind
I was trying to carefully examine this video but I’m lost, maybe because it was out of frame. But did someone fall in that abrupt moment when the filmer turned to grab the rope?
no at 14 seconds you can see a hanging dead body
the left hand side of the mountain looks like the border of a game map
Just remember that every single body on Mount Everest was once a very highly motivated and disciplined person.
#unmotivateyourself
This is actually the most dogshit take I have ever see on UA-cam. How about motivate yourself and achieve great things that make your life worth living
100% agree. Motivation makes people stupid. This is the best take i've seen in a while, hats off to you sir.
@@nooux1966 This is some naive thinking
@@bigbay1159 Quiet pussy.

Watched the clip a few times now, and I still have no idea about what is actually going on or what it is meant to show? 🤷♂
Now I see. There isn't a falling body on the footage. about 13 sec you can see the frozen body.
@@axelef2344 OH! You are absolutely right! thank you for sharing, Axel, Really appreciate it. 🙏
Have a great day!
Knowing you need to turn around almost immediately after reaching the summit is pretty scary.
some will say " he died doing what he loved" I say " Well, he probably didn't love it during that last bit, now did he?" There are places on earth that man was not meant to go. that's one of them. the other one is in the deep ocean, as we learned with that homemade submarine that imploded a few months ago. If you want the best chance of staying alive, don't go places that you weren't meant to go. To those that want to try to cheat death, do something easy like, not smoking. that is all.
The scariest part to me is that every one of the people that has died mountain climbing knew the risks and the statistics and thought that they'd be alright anyways and maybd thwy were for a long time but all it takes is one wrong step and you're done
It's not even a wrong step that kills people, usually. Oxygen is very low at those altitudes. It's a tremendous strain on your body. People collapse and die of exhaustion.
Proof that the camera man actually never dies 😎
Is it a body we see 15 secs out in the video?
Is the body seen @ 0:13?
There's something there, attached to some rope. It could be the dead body. Other than that I just couldn't see anything resembling a frozen corpse.
I’m confused where is this dead guy?
Is the idea that the person is still locked on so that we can see them and remember them - that's their place of rest? Otherwise, why not remove the attachments and let them rest alone? Wouldn't less mass pulling wherever also be better? Honest question.
I would never ever wanna climb that
I do not respect those who put the lives of others at risk because they're on an ego trip. If they want a challenge and deserved respect, do it without Sherpas staging O2, lines, supplies etc. The Sherpa people do not want to be up there but they HAVE to in order to support their families, due to the rising cost of living in their home towns which is a situation that exists SOLELY due to the presence of the rich on their ego summits. Sherpas are treated like tools, but the only tools there are well... you get it. This is not a thing to respect or encourage. You haven't summitted everest unless you've done it solo or with a group of people not employed by you.
As a complete climbing novice that is obsessed with these kinds of videos, can I have context as to what we’re seeing here?
at around 13 seconds there's a dead body just to the right and below the path
@@The-D33J Yes, see that, was wondering if that was newly fresh or an existing situation
@@LateNightDateNight it's clipped from ua-cam.com/video/7ey6RarzXfc/v-deo.html filmed around 3 years ago, from what I remember the guy had died the day before
The body of Daniel Cash
I was wondering the same thing!! But just saw it at the 13 second mark.
I feel like I would just succumb to my intrusive thoughts when I reach the summit. “Fall backwards”, “Jump off”, “Push someone off” it’s kinda terrifying..
Must be the scariest feeling ever. Gives me the chills Mount Everest 🗻 So much respect to those that should be there. Not so much respect though for Bucket listers with minimal or no climbing experience who put others in danger.
Fascinating place, would love to visit someday. To experience the the wonderful people and culture of Tibet .. ✌️ ❤🗻

@@neurodivtries4101 I'd do both .. Thanks for the Heads up..

What’s that white dot in the lower right and part of the sky around 50 seconds?
Venus maybe
imagine on top of mount everest the recording device says: battery low
death? what death? i didnt see anyone dying or already dead
0:14 look at the bottom you can see a dead body halfly coverd in ice
Wait, who died and when?
Don Cash. The day before
@@mortalclown3812that killed me man thanks. Hilarious
Is this route on the south or north side?
ive been wondering this too, i think it's the hillary step viewed on descent (the cameraman's perspective is one of someone who has just summited and is on the way back down to the col)
Hey what exactly part of Everest is this??
Hillary step
North east ridge route
What the heck keeps that ledge from collapsing and what in the world are they bolting into? Snow??
Tem um período do ano...e do dia para o gelo estar firme..Fora disso..não fazem.. risco de desmoronar!
Ice is very sturdy. Unless it is in a position about to collapse, the icy ridge will remain quite stable, enough for mountaineers to climb on it.
i was thinking the same thing like jesus the amount of trust in those bolts
I hear most accident happen on the way down : why not use some kind of parachute to climb down? Easier and less risky, no?
Its hard to bring a parachute up there, its too cold, you have too much clothing on, not enough air maybe, too dangerous, not everyone can paraglide
Imagine the wind up there, if u mess up packing it up. u could be draggen of the side. ight lets say u got the take off. whoops blewn into the mountain. Powerful wind. and finally. landing, landing in a crevase could end you
Most people die from exposure not falling
Probably you will land in some crevasses 🤢
I may be stupid but how does he died ? He's not far away from the path, couldnt he come back on the path ? I know it's not that easy, but i have some trouble to understand how he died, if anybody can explain it to me it would be very nice
he fell and had a massive heart attack. Probably due to exertion and lack of oxygen.
Thanks for the video. Now I don't have to go to a place where there's not enough O2 to light a pipe.
You can imagine it without all the other climbers and no fixed line, leading this pitch on belay how exhilarating that would be.
Suicidally dangerous but exhilarating
Well each year sherpas have to put those lines in so someone is always doing it half freestyle
Of course, Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler summited in 1978, being the first to summit without oxygen. Some say, Messner was never quite the same afterwards; hell if I know.
Being oxygen deprived for so long surely did something to his brain.
Ive seen this video before. There used to be a comment by a guy claiming that body was his fathers. It came on the news and everything
It’s so sad with the deaths on there, they’ll let the families choose if they wanna get the bodies or leave them there, the ones that stay are used as waypoints to the summit.
I wonder if someone would ever try to parachute from the summit down everest
I imagine the air at that altitude isn’t thick enough for a parachute to deploy.
Sorry but seeing the premier notification I thought it was going to be something else than just a clip from your previous video.
I think they are referencing a visible corpse on this part of the trek. It's right over the edge of the slope
Are you ok now?
Sheesh.
Climbing Mount Everest? without me! only when there are Starbucks and McDonalds up there

😂😂
@@anirbanbanerjee823 so you are saying I should jack off 4 times a day!? Mr ahsheem, I am now a devoted follower.
At least the person that died got to go out in beautiful scenery.
the body seems not to be that far down couldnt they just pulled him back up? (Sorry if a stupid question im just curious)
its a dangerous decision to pick up or help other climber, because you need to know you are at a place where no help can reach, no oxygen, 1 mistake and you are dead. So they do not want to risk more lives to save 1 corpse. i hope this clears up your question.
The dead person left a Last will to remain where he died and corpses on Mt. Everest are never removed, it’s impossible to bring them down without risking the life of the recoverers. They are only moved away from the route by a few meters if necessary.
At :13 seconds you can see a body below the trail. At :27 seconds there is a bikini model further down the path prancing around.
When a person falls off a mountain like this, it is not an unpleasant way to experience the death of the body. The reason is, the mind has a chance to know very clearly that it is all ending, and there is a chance to simply let go. To the extent that a person who finds himself falling off the side of a mountain lets go and completely surrenders, the fall becomes one of falling into the bliss of the Absolute/Void.
WOW, YOU'RE SO DEEP BRO!!! ARE YOU THE BUDDA???
