UPI: June 3rd, 1982
The American China-Everest '82 Expedition had to turn back 1,500 feet from the summit of Mount Everest, Dan McConnell, a spokesman for the expedition, said today.
McConnell said he received a telephone call early today from team leader Lou Whittaker in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa.
Whittaker reported that the expedition had failed in its attempt to scale the 29,028-foot mountain from the China side.
He said that all 16 surviving members of the climbing team generally were in good health although some of them were suffering from frost bite. Most members lost weight from their strenuous activities on the slopes of the world's highest peak.
Whittaker told McConnell the climbing team would hold a news conference in Seattle next Monday.
Details of the summit attempt and the accident that killed Marty Hoey of Tacoma, Wash., the only woman on the trek, will be discussed at the news conference, Whittaker said.

I would like to thank the band of Mrs Burton's school for deaf infants for stepping up and doing the background music when the original band cancelled at the last minute. Thank you for the upload :)
IKR? My poor ears are bleeding. 😂🤣😆😅
Underrated comment. Love the sense of humour
Hilarious. Couldn't stop laughing!
It kicks ass
😂😂😂😂😂
RIP Marty Hoey, you were beautiful and intrepid!
Thx, love you're Videos!
Thanks for watching!
He *is* the videos.
thankyou for making this video
Sometimes the best music is none at all.
Lol, that audio though!
That's the soundtrack to my very worst trip.
Whoever composed this soundtrack belongs in the horror film industry
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m
Dead!
Agreed. My ears! I can barely get through it bc of that.
😂😂😂😂 exactly 💯
I got mild altitude sickness from the soundtrack but recovered well after one hour... Thanks for the upload, thoroughly enjoying your channel. Brilliant
good to hear you survived the soundtrack and video quality hardships. haha
😄
😅😅😂😂
The soundtrack made me want to fall down the North Face.
You are absolutely right
When I was a kid and my mom used to teach violin lessons in our house, I always wondered what a full orchestra of the kids that didn't practice would sound like together.
This soundtrack answered that question I think
🤣
I thought this music sounded familiar! I first heard it when I was on hold, calling customer service for Hell.
I love watching these older ones. It's nice to see what she looked like before all the trash and long queue for the summit. Thank you!
They should enforce the pack it in, pack it out rule to keep the mountains prestine. Sadly they have too many people climbing today that just leave everything they don't need anymore behind, including the dead bodies.
This comment is gold
The soundtrack reminded me of The Shining and made me want to take an Ax to my TV 😳😬
😂
Horrendous soundtrack
Can't get enough of these Everest docs... fascinating! I have no desire to be a mountaineer, but do enjoy each story of drama, bravery, tragic losses and literal breathtaking beauty of Everest. Thanks for all the uploads Mr. Snow.
100% agree. The scene of the enormous peaks is so dramatic on its own, let alone triumph and tragedy, seracs and crevasses.
Same here. Especially these worn out vintage docs. After having seen a video a certain mountain ascent.. it's like you were almost there with them juuuuust a little bit and shared their emotions, confrontations... From the comfort of your sofa...lol
I'm a mountaineer , and climbing a mountain is the coolest . It doesn't have to be a suffer fest in freezing cold . Pick the right mountain during summer and camp in the alpine .
@@hobbes8737 I was planning my first hike and wanted it to be in the mountains but the bummer summer kinda ruined those plans so i'll be waiting for next year to come. I'm Belgian, so the Pyrenean mountains aren't that far away from here... I'm curious what it's like. I won't be doing any climbing. Just hiking.
@@hobbes8737 - I don’t know if you’re in the US, but if so do you have a favorite or a recommendation for a new “mountaineer” who hikes a lot?
I have no desire to climb mountains, hate snow and absolutely detest heights. Admittedly I'd like to see Everest from the lowest ground I could, but for some reason I'm on a mega mountain climbing video binge.
Love your channel and a new subscriber. Thanks for the awesome videos 😎
Look up Everest base camp trek in Nepal. It's not super easy but really not that hard. It's basically trekking from teahouse to teahouse. Fly to lukla, acclimatize in namche bazar, choose a trek with plenty of days to aid acclimatization.
Sounds awesome! And you can see the top?
That’s funny, I’m doing the same exact thing - it’s fascinating. Due to the 🦠 I’m home more often, so I’m looking for interesting things to watch. Climbers and climbing doesn’t really get much attention in terms of media coverage, compared to other sports great videos but the background music 🎼 is annoying. 🤗
You hate heights and yet are an aviator, die-cast no less! Wow you are so ironic. BTW, I believe you. Not trying to be a smart ass!
@@danieltoth3900
I can fly at 40,000 ft in a Boeing 787 happy as Larry with no issues. I get up on a ladder and I'm very un-nerved and don't like it one bit. It's the strangest thing🤷♂️
I'm down the rabbit hole of mountaineering videos
Incredible doc. Thank you for the upload. That awful whistle/flute music is driving me nuts. I can't stop scratching behind my ear, with my foot. On another note the book Seven Summits is a great read.
Lol the music is horrendous
I couldn’t believe what I was listening to. I’m a music producer and this was awful. I know how they made those sounds and with what equipment. Sounds like a Korg Polysix with a modulation on the pitch. Everything sounds modulated, for I don’t know what reason.
Wow! I never knew Throbbing Gristle did a soundtrack!
Not sure if this is a real group, but it should be.
@@tunatuna6723 Check out their album 'Twenty Jazz/Funk Greats.'
After a short while, I recovered from the nauseous soundtrack. Great footage! Good info! So sad that climber Marty died.
Whoever made the soundtrack should have been took to the top of mount Everest and staked to the ground
🤣🤣🤣
More like thrown off.
It's like they put the band on a rollercoaster and they record them playing as they whiz down that first drop.
Stories set to music like that never end well.
Neither did the music.
The music of nightmares
3:24 I wasn't sure if I was watching an Everest documentary or a swinger video.
It took me too long to find this comment
Why isnt the funny stuff up top in youtube comments anymore :((
From a distance of 40 years I found that scene excruciating
Totally underrated comment. 🎉
Are they actually all nude? Wild 😂
This music is from a haunted carnival ride. Truly, the soundtrack of nightmares.
I'm getting PTSD listening to this sound from living next to a Chinese neighbour's kid learning violin years ago :)
Watching this has trully been a psychodelic experience
Psychedelic
@@l.ronhubbard5445 true that
Very sad this is also the same year Joe Tasker and Peter Boardman died on the pinnacles. For the people complaining about the music, get over yourself. Y'all complaining on little crap. Don't like it, don't watch it.
Complaining about complaining, if you don’t like their comments don’t read them
People can do what they want mmmmk?
documentaries today are just so much better....Redford is good...fire whoever did the music...like now
18:00
Narrator:
“They stop for a break and have a private moment of thought.”
Music:
“We all float up here. “ 🤡🎈
I love the video but what’s up with the drunk Peruvian pan flute band lol?
I started grinning ear-to-ear seeing this team run across Bonington! What a fun, daring, and small fraternity mountaineering must have been at the time.
Thanks again for sharing all of these - you’ve singlehandedly entertained me this summer and gotten me out into my WV mountains more this season. Just today putting a second coat of Pecard’s leather dressing on a new pair of Scarpa hiking boots, 100% inspired by Gunter Messner.
Ah yes, Sir Chris Bonington. I asked him once how many times he had close calls to death in the mountains and he answered: "too many to admit to".
And the photo of Reinhold Messner with Lou Whittaker and Jim Wickwire at advance base camp.
Actually the world's greatest climber to this day, Reinhold Messner, climbed the North Face of Everest solo.
Link ?
Is the North Face the toughest ?
@@cp_pdn the North Face of most mountains in the northern hemisphere are the hardest, due to the lesser amount of sunlight.
When they are hard, they are HARD.
@@cp_pdn
ua-cam.com/video/5pR2uN0LF_g/v-deo.html
@@cp_pdn Christopher Bonington who led the ultimately successful expedition to climb Everest's southwest face entitled his account "Everest the Hard Way." I suspect that was correct as the southwest face is steeper than the north face.
I have to agree Reinhold is the greatest climber ever🥇
The audio quality when it comes to the soundtrack is hysterical! It also puts me right back into a cool, dark middle school classroom staring at that fat TV on the rolley cart. Otherwise, great old documentary!
I think the climbers should have to listen to this droning music while they're climbing. Omg.
Would have been a lot better with out the irritating music.
Soundtrack makes me feel like I'm on acid...
It's portraying what they felt like with altitude sickness. I don't want to climb anymore.
I’m hooked on your Everest content. Thanks for the education. And, I don’t mind the music that seems to warn me that a serial killer is about to leap out from behind every rock or ice wall.
Very ominous!..lol
🤣
Am I the only person who loved the music?!?!
I’m playing this at my wedding
IT WAS KINDA HAUNTING. MARTY IS MY HERO , WHAT A WOMAN!!!ID MARRY HER 😍 💕
Anyone else catch the one guy in the hot tub trying to sneak a peak?
I was disappointed that nobody mentioned the music in the comments section
Lassa is not the most remote city in the world anymore. Iquitos Peru is in the middle of the Amazon rain forest, and has 400,000 residents. lts the largest city on the planet that is not connected to the outside world by any road. They use the river system. Just some trivia.
best soundtrack I've ever heard
lol
😂
Kung Fu theater rip off..
😅😅😅😅
Anyone know where I can get this soundtrack? It's so relaxing.
But seriously, great documentary!
I don't know where you can get the soundtrack but you can replicate the effect it has on you by wrapping your pointer fingers in sandpaper and slowly twist, push and pull them in your ear canal
@@l.ronhubbard5445 😂😂
Experienced severe hypoxia from discordant background music! Perhaps the twisted music is symbolic of the twisted mentality of humans who risk their bodies and lives for the ultimate peak experience, that is not so 'peak' when you lose all your fingers and toes and many times your own life in the process of bagging it.
Fantastic footage truly moving..excellent soundtrack..where can I buy it ...
Lol
That spooky ghostly music in the background was indicating all along that this is going to be a failed attempt.
Great video, but their use of the music and that weird WOW effect gets really annoying really quickly..
Thank you, David! Very appreciative of your efforts to put these videos together for us!
I used to do "crazy" things which harmed me,(but not risking to lose limbs and life), but I had good reasons for doing so again and again. Later I got a depression and went to therapy. It was a kind of therapy where there was not just talking, but I relived the traumas from early childhood on.. And there I found out the real reasons for the crazy things I was doing: The lack of love and appreciation I experienced as a child, worked as a constant unconscious drive to do things by which I hoped eventually getting the love and appreciation of my parents and later of other people. There was the constant drive to prove that I was worth it. I became aware that the reasons I had believed in before, were mere rationalisations. Not being able to stop doing those extrodinary things harming myself and not feeling what urged me to do so, I had to make up a "good" reason for doing so.
I strongly believe, that in most of those extreme mountaineers there is also an unconscious drive that forces them to torture their bodies and their minds to extremes, which are far beyond what I did to me: They get crushed with exhaustion, they intensely suffer from frost that destroys their limbs, they risk to leave their families, their small children without a father, they see their friends die next to them. But they still have "good' reasons for continuing, just as I had. As long as they are praised as heroes for doing so, it's difficult for them to find out the real reasons why they enjoy torturing themselves, because their unconscious need for love and esteem is being fulfillled. Why should they want to find out the real reasons then?
WOW, great insight. Thanks for sharing it. That makes sense.
The music was horribly annoying.
I had to turn it way down, with captions on. Otherwise, this story and the climbers were awesome.
She probably was pulled by the tension on the rope when it was at the maximum length.. as she was being pulled she must have lost balance and added to that her harness failed.. maybe strapped incorrectly or faulty.. so sad.. only one second that could have been avoided.. non of that her fault.. 😢
Don't pay $60,000 to a company to climb the mountain. Train and join experienced climbers and pay sherpas $60,000 not $125 a day to climb it for their 12th time.
How do you hire them?
I think you can find agencies in Kathmandu where u can hire sherpas or Porters also at Lukla.
Strange music😳 wonderful climb🇸🇪💪
Wow should have never started watching this excellent documentary. I have to be at work at 3:30am but darn it I'm going to finish watching this awesome clip and I'm not even a hiker or mountain climber.
3:30a! Whowwy!
Great video. I love the old school equipment! Compared to today’s easily available gear they certainly made the best of what they had. I did EBC in 2004 from the well used trekking route from Lukla. I love being in the mountains so I’m going back in 2024, 20 years later to climb Island peak.
Great to see Chris Bonington in the video, a climber that I feel is often overlooked these days in favour of more modern climbers with more media presence.
Great soundtrack by the way, reminds me of my daughter playing the recorder for hours on end whilst dragging finger nails down a chalk board. 😂
Liar
Love your channel, and love this film. But, my opinion only, with today's technology, can that horrible background "music" not be made a little less annoying?
climbing is not a democracy. Team leaders are there to make big decisions where the team is incapable of being objective.
All of them are hypoxic, so they’ll be poorer decision makers all around, including the leader.
I thought I had a high altitude mosquito in my room
The north face is steep! The tourists who get piggy-backed by Sherpas on the south face would never get as close as these men, even with a team
The music is so awful a d jarring. Unwatchable.
A very interesting documentary. But... who decided on that background music??? Ouch! Those sounds are horrible.
If I ever get to Camp 4.. (I won’t). I’m going to bury a Mallory era 1920s camera up there. Out of sight but easy enough to find someday. Imagine a climber’s swollen brain at that altitude thinking that they found the Holy Grail of mountaineering. If I can’t get a camera, then I’ll bury some Roman Coins.
Climbing a mountain and being scared, and very cold is not my idea of fun. Nothing could make me ever want to do this. But I am fascinated watching all these videos from my safe and warm fireside chair. Thank you.
It’s Eerie watching Marty knowing she’s going to die. It’s like seeing into the future.
IM FASCINATED BY HER . WHAT A TERRIFIC WOMAN. GOD BLESS HER SOUL
I thought 💭 that very thing
A "spoiler alert" would have been appreciated. Whelp, cat's outta the bag now!😸
@@davidwilliamson9333she should have stayed in the kitchen
Почему они ее не пытались искать?
the WORST ever sound track on ANY video EVER - I do not understand what insanity "effect" they were trying to convey with this "background" sound - it is unbearable to listen to - destroyed a decent climb video with some sort of psychological experiment on people who like to watch climbing videos - 10X worse than nails on a chalkboard - seriously what the hell were they thinking ? - hey we could put weird screechy pitch volume oscillating oohOOHoohOOHoohOOHoohOOHoohOOHoohOOHoohOOHoohOOH sounds effect in the background - is this soundtrack inspired - imported from the Twilight Zone ? - yeah that would be so cool - let's DO IT !!! - hoo-ray NOT
Watching in 11/21 ……. Climbers now would have a fit if they had to carry all their gear as well as equipment needed to make such an assent on a mountain. Amazing to watch how things were done back in the day compared to now in 2021!
real climbers still do,Messner did it solo carrying his own gear
OMG that music is amazing.Where can i buy???
disclaimer: This comment is so deep you might need a submarine
There are a few golden nuggets in this film especially when they ask these climbers why they climb. It solidified a theory i've been working on about the symptoms of having too many long term goals and not enough short term ones. I reckon those suffering from a lack of short term goals exhibit behaviors such as a love of politics or arguments.
Many thanks for this upload. Its so easy gloss over the knowledge or wisdom of the mountains. But here in this film whoever captured the answers may not have realised the impact of their exploits and hard work.
I want to thank the camera man, the sound recordist and editing team, without their work we would never have this information.
( if you wish to not suffer the symptom of politics you must have more short term achievable goals in your life.)
right now 6:28 am the darkness of winter approaching, its time to put on the trousers pack the dogs into the car and go achieve a short term goal.... a mountain nearby will suffice.
Have a good weekend, people of the internet.
Stay off the crack
I live next to mt Rainier and have met the whittakers many times and have spent many hours in their store in ashford. Good people.
Hey neighbor
@@heiroot lol hello, idk what you think but I love living in ashford. I used to live in a house a mile outside of elbe now I live behind the post office and general store in ashford. My mother worked at that store for over ten years when it was suvers
It was bad year for climbers. Tragedy all around.
thank you for all the uploads david! i have been binging all your videos and it’s opened my eyes to something that i personally can’t do, but love to watch!!! it’s not easy to find joy these days but these videos sure do help a lot :)
Everests north face makes the north face of the Eiger look like your neighbors fence
The Eiger is significantly more difficult to climb than Everest, Mt Everest is a tourists mountain. Only the fittest most skilful mountaineers take on the Eigers death wall .
David snow I salute you for sharing these marvellous videos of human endeavour. Thankyou 👍❤️🌙
Other than the annoying high pitched screechy 1980's horror movie sound effects this was cool to watch
interesting film. horrible background noise as others have pointed out. makes 1982 seem like along time ago.
It was nearly 40 years ago
They have no sense for soundtrack in those old documentaries,awful background music & sound effect.
Have to remember where still using tapes back then and lucky to have a radio to play them lol
All good apart from the dreadful music
Worst soundtrack in the history of you tube documentaries. Unnecessary, annoying and just … silly!
Good documentary but the background music was brutal.
Good stuff and all, but what the f*** is that annoying beeping background-noice?
THE MUSIC MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS ON ACID. BUNCH OF 4TH GRADERS TRYING OUT INSTRUMENTS OR WHAT?
Yeah this soundtrack is horrendous a lot of it makes me think of what it sounds like if a group of whales were being raped.
I had to wear a Dramamine patch in order to keep the sound on!
The music sounds like Yoko Ono’s early work. Before she wrecked the Beatles
Love these documentaries thank you for the upload
Is that a striped shithouse bass?
Marble grouper
@@Mark-ux7yh Is that like even a real name on a fish? 🤔
A more scrupulous and more generous humanity. What happened to that in 2021??? Humanity today generally sucks.
“New time bad, old time good” has been said in every single age. There are always good and bad, you just need to know where to look.
A David Snow doc is interesting as always, but that music is shite!!
Sounds like the music would have been good but something was dreadfully wrong in the playback.
I’m not an audio guy but that’s what it sounded like.
My birds have no fear of thunder, but they’re really scared of this music. I had to use airpods.
This is a good documentary, but the soundtrack is distorted... I can hear what it SHOULD BE and so account for it... it is the only drawback of an excellent presentation...
Not just distorted, but modulated. The pitch is inconsistent… constantly. Very irritating to listen to. Whoever gave this a pass was an idiot lol
Crazy is how much things change, watched a kid from Japan climb. His video is like someone who went for a hike? He hired one sherpa to help him out, followed everyone up, at Camp four hes sitting in the open looking for his Sherpa? Like looking for the host of a guided tour? Couldnt find him oh well Climb on to the top. Then back down like he was climbing half dome!
Who's that kid? Any links to the video? 🙏
@@thatwasantique6708 I dont have a link but its on here. It was crazy to watch. Camp 4 no tent no oxygen just sitting out on the rocks in the sun. Waiting then decided to follow the line.
29:58 this music giving me the Halloween Michael Myers vibes....🔪🔪
I liked this video but the music is beyond bizarre
People are complaining about traditional music ?
Everest is in a location with a different culture.
Isn't that obvious?
Using western music would be inauthentic.
Some of the ugliest back ground music or sounds ever.
Rip marty hoey.
This soundtrack is an assault on the ears
Whats up with the music. Something gone wrong or is it supposed to sound like that?
