They were the most advanced,experienced, unprecedented and adventurous climber in the world.
Rip Fellas.
The route being difficult and technical has little to do with being hit by an avalanche. You can get hit by an avalanche even on an easy route. In Alpine mountaineering luck plays a huge role, you cannot say it's not the case, treacherous weather and descending avalanches cannot be excluded after all. You just maximize your chances.
Most failed ascents and descents and casualties were caused by sudden change of weather and being hit by avalanche descents.
Watching this guys climb Annapurna 3 will tell you how good they were. Its just a damn tragedy that an avalanche hit them. Rest in peace fellas. You are Legends.
No. Anapurna is only one mountain. That was his third attempt. David was my favorite athlete of all time.
still cant believe that happened. but they inspired so many people and their legend will do so in the future. rip
Btw CBC, it would have not been a First Ascend like you said. Barry Blanchard, Steve House and Scott Backe did the FA in March 1999. Lama, Auer and Roskelley were going for the second. RIP. such a tragedy.
blanchards group turned before reaching summit because of bad weather and snow...Blanchard almost died because of an avalanche and got heavy critic after all-->that and because of difficulty is why they call it the M-16 route.They opened the route but it was just a first attempt since no summit :)
@@HardtechnoVictim very true, fellow climber I see
I can't understand why people would do such a dangerous activity. It is really a heart break for their families.
It is !! But they just have to do it; it's who they are and their family knew that !!
Dam ... tragic
Would be interesting to know what part The North Face had in their decision to climb in bad weather and high avalanche conditions on an extremely dangerous route.
What the world will be without adventurers, man and women who just go for it!? We still be in the dark ages...hope you guys are still ok
Yeah those dark ages before Walmart flat screen TVs and cellphones

Experienced in climbing but novices in avalanche science. "If you fail to prepare, you're prepared to fail." Mark Spitz
Explain avalanche science
Sooner or later the probabilities of fate will meet upon the steep avalanche slopes where their bodies now rest.
Imagine being part of the recovery team dealing with stresses of their work.
Wow Lama dead? a legend. RIP
I know right, never expected to see him on the list
Never know. Maybe hes still out there with his bros hiking back in.
@@punishedsnake6141 he’s dead.
Rip. Climb high to heaven.
RIP DAVID LAMA. FORGET Jordan, forget any of them! He’s a REAL athlete
Sad.
best climbers ever.... R.i.p guys
Some old caveman will find them frozen solid a million years from now..
Hmm.
They found them.
👌👌👌👈
They were found in the rescue mission.
Sad news
I'm confused... these were world-renowned climbers going on a very dangerous climb and didn't have someone in constant check with them? On radio? Don't they carry some sort of SOS device? Only after the father got suspicious we're the authorities alerted...
backup wouldnt have been able to help them anyway due to bad weather and risk of avalanches.
my question is why go there in winter?
@@HardtechnoVictim Helicopter rescue? They rope down from the helicopter and pick them up. Clearly these guys didn't care too much about precautions, being daredevils and all
@@Hitman2679 Not always possible, especially in extreme weather conditions or other factors.
RIP
thats it. This is true final end of all climbers.
Perhaps government parks should require insurance bonds before these risk takers are allowed to do the risk taking.
Sad. What made them make the attempt without knowing the potential conditions to bring them to this?
Ego
I can hardly feel the glory if ever they made it. pursuit of success, joy, attention whatever exlusive to themselves but the burden of expense and worry should we share or carry?

Well we have it here on youtube lol! Somehow!
@@saphire5271 you and I might, and maybe not for much longer.
:(

What it is to be extremists. Likely went the way they wanted to go. Cheers boys.
Maybe they'll find them Monday.
I THINK WITH THERE EXPERIENCE.......THEY ARE NOT DEAD PERIOD
I hope you're right.
Why would you go at this time of year, it is barely out of winter we've had exceptional snow levels all across the Rockies, and of course in Canada, so why would you do it at this time of year? Most my friends go after the first really heavy rainfall with less likelyhood of ice & hopefully any loosened debris, etc. has cleared. Of course we don't know Banff at this time.
Sounds to me like they heard someone else was going to try it, and they wanted to be the first to do it, So they went ahead. I have no respect for people who aren't careful, don't plan wisely, and put other people's lives at risk, trying to find them and locate them.
Tragedy for their family doesn't need to be layed on others also. Wish these young men had thought more of their loved ones than the thrill.
As far as I'm concerned, allow them to remain buried in the mountains they loved if it looks like loose rock was part of the culprit/avalanche & they are inaccessible without extreme danger to others.
I've no respect for you saying that dude. They were well more experienced than any other climber in the World expecting few of them. They absolutely knew all the risks they were taking the proof is they had succeeded the climb and were going down when avalanche hit them.
Your statement is cocky useless and arrogant.
We all have to cry them for their passionate love of climbing human qualities they had and happinness they had transmited througout their livetime! We have to respect their choices as they were not suicidal kids! They just lacked of chances and you do not have any right to blame someone for this and for trying what no one ever did!
As JFK said one day "We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

They were last heard singing,

Ah ah ah ah....
They should've tried journalism instead LOL
About time nature caught up with them, it was just a matter of time. It's part of the adventure until it's game over.
Typically Canadian. Bragging like a Canadian avalanche managed to off some pros.
We lost 3 monsters
Yes! As the Everest snows are evaporating more and more dead bodies are being exposed - not s good and healthy exposition. The poor around will have to pay for the desecration of their sacred sites. The companies that sponsored these climbers and provided their supplies should be made to clean up the environmental pollution. Thank you.
Agni Ban what does that have to do with this? Show some discretion perhaps?
there is a big difference between sponsored professional athletes and people who *pay* to be taken up Everest. The commercialisation and exploitation of these places are the doom for these fragile environments.
Wrong mountain, continent and story.
@@markw4318 WHAT DO U MEAN?
These people are so intent on risking all for their 15 minutes of fame that they cannot decline a challenge that ultimately results in their demise.Not only do they risk their own safety but often the lives of the rescuers who go out to save their sorry asses this kind of behavior is toxic and totally immoral I am sorry for their families who are victims none the less and now must mourn the senseless loss of these climbers. When will society place a moratorium and commence to frown on these actions that have become a warped symbol of achievement for those who have been deceived.
You have no idea what you’re talking about, it’s not about any “15 minutes of fame”, it’s about the love and passion for the sport. It’s not toxic, it’s beautiful. And it’s sad that you are so blind to the beauties of these amazing adventures. Have a some class and show a little respect.
World-renowned? Not anymore.
Lol
