    This is basically a talk on how to put yourself, and the people around you, in extreme danger.
    And just out of pure egoism.

      Everest has been commercialised and turned into a climbing tourist site. It’s not even the most difficult or the most dangerous mountain.
      Annapurna I has a climber death rate of almost 34%, K2 is right behind at 29% and Everest sits at about 4%
      Climbers like Reinhold Messner reached all 14 8,000m Himalayan peaks without supplementary oxygen. He also solo climbed Everest without supplementary oxygen.
      These commercial climbs involve tonnes of equipment and food to be carried up by sherpas

    People with inexperience climber like her can be the ones to sadly die on Everest. She should not have put Sherpas and team in danger of their lives by being inexperience.

      @@jak11631 YES, I've spoken with a world class mountaineer who has summitted Everest many times. He said anyone with the money, unfortunately, will find someone to guide them.

    I have mixed feelings here. Great talk about how to overcome fear etc. but I'm also very annoyed at hearing about so many inexperienced climbers that put other lives at risk.

    She was more prepared for Stone Mountain, not Everest. What a reckless individual

    It is not 30% less oxygen near the summit. It’s worse than that. The concentration of oxygen is about 1/3 of that at sea level. So it drops from about 20.6% at level to just under 7% at 29,000 feet.
    …..Hillary was not alone when he first climbed Everest in 1953. Hillary and his climbing partner Tenzing Norgay reached the summit together.

    She should have gone back home, train for a year, climb a smaller mountain, train another year, and maybe then come back to climb this one. And know that she achieved it because of hard-work and dedication, not stubbornness and good luck.

  • @Flugmorph
    @Flugmorph 4 роки тому +45

    if she would've had extensive mountaineering training like any climber attempting mount everest should have, then she wouldn't have to suffer and whine so much. really annoying ted talk unfortunately.

  • @seanhelmi6663
    @seanhelmi6663 Рік тому +3

    She didn’t climb anything. Sherpas carried up all her equipment and oxygen and fixed ropes ahead of her so she could pretend to climb and give this talk. Sherpas probably short roped her or carried her along the way.

  • @Tor2ise
    @Tor2ise 3 роки тому +28

    Nice talk, but you’re setting up totally wrong example. How could you be there without any experience or training? Sadly, $$ matters and inexperienced people like you buy this achievement which undermine this feat achieved by other experienced mountaineers.

    • @sonurakheja3530
      @sonurakheja3530 3 роки тому +6

      Yes ..you are right...there is no way that person like her should be allowed though she achieved it but it doesn't meant that everyone can achieve...people like her become the reason for other's deaths..I am surprised everyone praising her but I don't think she did any wise act

      Wether you like it or not Everest became, decades ago, an attraction for the wealthy to go risk their lives and the expedition is priced accordingly. Experienced mountaineers are well aware of this and unless they're on a quest for their 7th summit it doesn't make any sense for them to climb Everest. Seeing an experienced mountaineer climbing Everest doesn't impress anyone anymore, K2 is there for the most experienced.

  • @kentlarsen5834

    Courtney excellent talk. To hear the ups and downs of that 2 month expedition brings it to life as if it's a human body. I hope you love your sherpas who helped you succeed, their expertise made you fulfill your dream and your able to let so many people know the inside truth about the climb. Congratulations.

    I think K2 is a much better test for “real” mountain climbers.....This mountain is now a tourist destination......How sad....As long as you have the money.......

    Heard that saying Anyone can climb Everest on a sunny day? Well, I dont actually believe it.
