Goes to show she's one of those with way too much money at her "disposal." Knowing she can get rescued, why not go a 3rd time? Why should she care about anybody else being in danger or needing rescued? I don't think the Tibetan side is so willing to rescue climbers. She might not want to blow off checking with their government directly on this. She may find herself dying and then dead.
That's what I was wondering. There has to be some kind of mental disorder to feel the need to do this. I want to learn more about these kinds of people
The first time wasn't her fault. She did nothing to cause the ice to fall on her. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Secondly, everyone is selfish for trying to put their lives at risk to summit Everest. Everyone knows the risk, and the Sherpas are paid to be there, they too sometimes need rescuing and yet go back. Hence I don't understand why you singling out this lady as an example of "selfishness".
The climbers know the risks. I really don’t have much empathy for them. The people that I have empathy for are the ones that they put lives in danger the other individuals that die.
I feel the same way. Just like getting upset about David Sharpe and blaming a double amputee for not rescuing him (dying for Everest if you haven’t seen it). It’s very selfish and risky and they know that going in so oh well!

Ego entitlement and lack of respect for others. I don’t feel for the climbers . The sherpas are the heroes making a hard living risking their lives for the egotistical climbers.
You are absolutely right. Most climbers are wealthy business people who spend a lot of money they think they are entitled to a summit since they paid for it. Most of them aren't even regular climbers, they simply seem to get interested because of the rarity of success..
Agree, This mountain has become just an ego trip for most, something to put on their Instagram and say they've done it. Most of the time they only have a couple of minutes at the top anyway, you cant stop and enjoy the view, just take a single picture....its ridiculous. It should be banned for everyone except world class mountaineers, local peoples and scientists with world class mountaineers and Sherpas. Any other site like cave or cave diving they close after a few people die, dont know how this is different. Once a beautiful place is being ruined.
How? How exactly would you bring the bodies down? Bodies of climbers that signed a waiver that stated they would be left on the mountain. Would you try to pay a Sherpa? They will not do it! It is against their faith. They don’t want you to be anywhere near a dead body on Everest.
People are literally climbing over frozen corpses just for the chance to outlive the dead and try and accomplish what they could not. It is the same as climbing through the ashes of the dead to reach the summit of a volcano.
what do u think happens to the locals around everest - when 100s of thousands of dollars are removed from the economy? I think it's a complicated issue. But ur "best, simple" solution would result in much suffering and starvation; as well as the collapse of their yak herding culture; and probably other unintended, horrific things. I don't mean to come off as as condescending, but I urge u to use the critical thinking skills that you've developed.
As a cub reporter, Dallas-circa 1996, my editor assigned a story to me. I had to call the wife of a just-rescued Everest climber for a brief interview. He was known to be in fair condition, but would likely be losing a few digits on one hand to frostbite. She was kind enough to take my call, but expressed no love of her mate’s lust for adventure. Her main point was that she dearly hoped he would think twice before his next (not so cheap) thrill.
The first women is an airhead, she didnt even understand the intention of those questions. Also she has been rescued twice on Everest, hope she becomes a part of the mountain the third time and the sherpas leave her alone.
There should be a rating system in place where people have to qualify to climb Mt. Everest and other high peaks by demonstrating their ability and experience on other mountains.
Absolutely!!! And I don't see how those wealthy people still climb the Everest after knowing the risks. I say leave them right there when they fall and stop putting others lives at risks trying to help these entitled people who want to be rescued by putting those poor Sherpa s in that position.
@@peachiep2734 Wealthy people aren't exactly the most selfless people in the world. They have the privilege to afford the whole process to climb and since they have won the financial game, they are looking for something else to personally conquer. A fool tries to pluck a poisonous flower instead of appreciating its beauty from afar.
Um, that kind of the deal right? What do they want? Sympathy?! I’ve only ever felt empathy for the Sherpas, who risk their lives for these narcissists.
This 1st woman gets no sympathy from me. She lived TWICE rescued & plans on going again. Obviously, this narcissist truly doesn't get it. 3 strikes & she's OUT!!! Much ❤ & respect to the sherpas. The true heroes!!!
Those are NOT “normal” people, normal people wouldn’t obsess over climbing Everest where you know that there’s a 99% chance that you won’t make it back ,however, I classify them as “suicidal “!! With all of the dangers set before us, WHY would one be willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to risk their lives and the Sherpas lives?
Is it damaging the mountain??? ABSOLUTELY!! Why is he trying to downplay the human damage? Tons of garbage and bodies and body retrieval ???Please dude 🙄
I truly do not understand why anyone would wish to climb Everest and yet, I am fascinated with it (even though I have no desire to be a mountaineer. What makes me angry are the bubbleheads who refuse to carry/use oxygen as if there's a superior reward for going without. It also angers me that to some climbers it's more important to reach the top than to help a desperate climber.
Not sure if it helps to say Everest is supposed to be a culmination of a Mountaineering career. These dangers are not unique to Everest but they are very extreme there. Sorry, doing my proofread I realize I have no insight on it for you 😂. I’m a baby mountaineer: my highest is a 14’er in CO.
Of course, summitting comes before that. If someone's in that level of distress at that altitude (death zone), then you literally can't save them. You're also told this explicitly by every single party connected to the mountain, including the Sherpas. You can move under your own steam, you die.
Shes been saved... twice. Shes a serious hazard to anyone on the mountain with her. Yet shes being treated like she accomplished something. Shes failed miserably more than once

I watched a documentary about the sherpas recently. It was suprising how much infrastructure the sherpa have in place to make it easier and safer for the hundreds of climbers to make the climb. They have many ladders permently placed across dangerous crevis's and steep slick areas to make it easier and hopefully have fewer deaths. There are ladders and also ropes permently placed in the most challenging areas. The brave climbers who where the first or very early climbers if Everest had none of the infrastructure when they made the climb. This is now adventure tourism and people shouldnt have to die to try to save them... because of their desire to feed their inflated ego
Mountaineers climb not for recognition. When it takes every ounce of your being to reach the top, that is when we truly feel alive. It’s not selfish, it’s doing what we love to do. Mountaineers climb, Race car drivers drive, Test pilots fly, Astronauts go to space. I could keep going on and on about things that people do that put their lives in danger. People put their lives in danger every single time they get in their vehicles because you never know when you’re going to get in a deadly car accident.
A complete lack of reverence for the mountain. Before issuing permits, the climbers should have to submit evidence/documentation of their competence both as mountaineers and the ability to function at high altitudes.
The Mother Nature argument goes without saying. But to say experience means nothing tells me you’ve never spent any real time in the mountains. Knowing when to turn back because of unsafe conditions. Recognizing your body is on the brink of exhaustion and turning around even if the summit is just 300 meters away has everything to do with experience and awareness. Not to mention the countless other examples I could use. Nobody can control an avalanche. But experience will teach you to recognize hazards that are within your power to overcome.
It doesn't sound like the 1st lady needed rescued the 1st incident. And the 2nd when she broke her ankle, it sounds like she got herself down (probably with help.) You've gotta be able to aid in your rescue. I don't think it sounds like she's inexperienced or a risk. Serac's fall, ppl trip or fall. There are so many that shouldn't be on the mountain, but idk if she qualifies. And yes, the Sherpas are the heros. I hope that becomes more well known. It's ridiculous that 1 client requires 3 sherpa to ascend. I don't count that as much of an accomplishment. Ppl who climb solo or with a partner who they share duties with earn more of my respect
I'm sure "her Sherpa" had good reason to abandon her. His life or hers? He knows he doesn't get paid enough to risk his. Even Sherpa can only take so much of a whining crybaby?
The funny part is on the south approach climbers spend 80% of the climb not even on Mt Everest. They cross over at a high point and climb the last 1000 meters on Everest. I'm not so sure you can honestly say you climbed the mountain when you spent a huge majority of the time on another mountain.
Incorrect, the Khumbu Icefall is on Everest. Western Cwm is Everest. The only part where you aren't on Everest is the Lhotse Face, which you cross in 2 hours onto South Col, which is Everest. The accurate ratio is more like 95% Everest, 5% Lhotse.
@@JaylaStarrmany have done it solo or just without sherpas, a short list has even done it with zero oxygen all the early climbers did it without oxygen, they all got brain damage from that
I find it really hard to muster up any sympathy for the climbers dying on Mount Everest. They know the risk, they are willing to take the risk, so why feel sorry for them...
Mountaineers typically feel like it's an honor to become one with the mountain. Not everyone wants their body removed. It's a spiritual thing for some of them from what I've heard.
These climbers think they are entitled to climb Everest just because they have the money. They don't care about the lives of the sherpas thinking they paid them and they have to commit to them no matter what the circumstances are including rescues to safe their lives so they can laugh about it when they get to a safe area.
Sherpa is synonymous with expert mountaineer guide. Seems ignorant to impose a judgement on the woman (re: comments). Any professional that we hire like a surgeon, professor etc we might respectfully say "my ____" with implied respect. Also she would not want to name the hired expert who left her in a precarious life/death situation, showing reserve. People are so quick to assume without "knowing". It's a good thing to broaden our quick judgments with other perspectives imo. FYI The Nepal government collected $5.08 million in revenue from Everest alone spring 2023 climbing season. Let's hope improvements, to counteract negative impacts, will continue through calls to specific needed action.
As far as i know, sherpa means "east people from the mountain" its about their origin and ethnicity. Imagine going to amazonia, hiring indiginous guide and saying "my tupi ...." haha i would not like that
With as many of these Mount Everest videos I’ve watched and as brutal and terrifying some of the footage is, it wasn’t until I learned it takes an average of 2 months to reach the top, that it was all put into perspective.
There a thousands of peaks more difficult and more beautiful then Everest but a lot of Instagram climbers and tourists want to climb Everest not sure why
How has hillary step changed the climb? That vertical section collapse , causing the vertical climb to be rather less strenuous... has the bottle neck there let up at all. The earthquake shook that mountain up vigorously enough to make significant alterations
I know this might seem mean, but why carry these bodies down? Why not just push them n let them slide down? They are already dead, so why not just slide them off the mountain n grab them once they hit the bottom? Why risk lives to retrieve a body?
I think some sort of steps and stairs which are snow free should be made all over the mountain and made into a tourist attraction. It should be supervised and manned throughout the day/night and closed during snow storms. If anyone is gonna rent the mountain out, they should pay a small monthly rent for it.
The Sherpas are the ones that are the real heroes, and they don’t get paid enough
They get paid many times more than the poor people of Nepal. There are also sherpa owned companies that underpay their fellow countrymen just as much and are even worse if it comes to security and good order.

People put their lives in danger every single time they get in their vehicles because you never know when you’re going to get in a deadly car accident.
The hillary step is gone, it's just a reality you can see more and more mountainer have come forward.
"Rescued twice". Nothin more to say! 😱
A complete lack of reverence for the mountain. Before issuing permits, the climbers should have to submit evidence/documentation of their competence both as mountaineers and the ability to function at high altitudes.
that means nothing - Nature has its own rules !
The Mother Nature argument goes without saying. But to say experience means nothing tells me you’ve never spent any real time in the mountains. Knowing when to turn back because of unsafe conditions. Recognizing your body is on the brink of exhaustion and turning around even if the summit is just 300 meters away has everything to do with experience and awareness. Not to mention the countless other examples I could use. Nobody can control an avalanche. But experience will teach you to recognize hazards that are within your power to overcome.
It doesn't sound like the 1st lady needed rescued the 1st incident. And the 2nd when she broke her ankle, it sounds like she got herself down (probably with help.) You've gotta be able to aid in your rescue. I don't think it sounds like she's inexperienced or a risk. Serac's fall, ppl trip or fall. There are so many that shouldn't be on the mountain, but idk if she qualifies. And yes, the Sherpas are the heros. I hope that becomes more well known. It's ridiculous that 1 client requires 3 sherpa to ascend. I don't count that as much of an accomplishment. Ppl who climb solo or with a partner who they share duties with earn more of my respect
"And now let's meet a woman that has twice been part of the problem...."
Don't understand why they do this
Every now n then a climber sneaks thru...but in the end, the mountain always wins
"My Sherpa"
That disgusted me. She said it multiple times too 😮
@@margot2104 Is she a jewess?
I'm sure "her Sherpa" had good reason to abandon her. His life or hers? He knows he doesn't get paid enough to risk his. Even Sherpa can only take so much of a whining crybaby?
Something tells me these people substitute Sherpa with 'personal slave'.
@@charlieinslidell To jewish people non jews are goyim: animals in human skin here to serve jews. Does that throw a light on your comment?
The funny part is on the south approach climbers spend 80% of the climb not even on Mt Everest. They cross over at a high point and climb the last 1000 meters on Everest.
I'm not so sure you can honestly say you climbed the mountain when you spent a huge majority of the time on another mountain.
Incorrect, the Khumbu Icefall is on Everest. Western Cwm is Everest. The only part where you aren't on Everest is the Lhotse Face, which you cross in 2 hours onto South Col, which is Everest.
The accurate ratio is more like 95% Everest, 5% Lhotse.
@@lf67hh28100% impossible without the sherpas
@JaylaStarr It's certainly not impossible without Sherpas. However, it is now illegal.
@@lf67hh28 @If67hh28 ok 99% because the sherpas have to go out at the beginning of the season to mark the safest route
@@JaylaStarrmany have done it solo or just without sherpas, a short list has even done it with zero oxygen all the early climbers did it without oxygen, they all got brain damage from that
Interviewer was too soft on that first woman
These people who get rescued put the lives of the rescuers at risk. It’s appallingly selfish.
I find it really hard to muster up any sympathy for the climbers dying on Mount Everest. They know the risk, they are willing to take the risk, so why feel sorry for them...
That would break my heart if my son went up there and died and I didn't have the money to get his body😔
If he did that he would be an idiot. That’s on him as he would be really selfish to do this.
Mountaineers typically feel like it's an honor to become one with the mountain. Not everyone wants their body removed. It's a spiritual thing for some of them from what I've heard.
What about thinking of Everest as a sacred place for people who risked their lives?
they were not “left” to die - they died before they could descend or be rescued.
These climbers think they are entitled to climb Everest just because they have the money. They don't care about the lives of the sherpas thinking they paid them and they have to commit to them no matter what the circumstances are including rescues to safe their lives so they can laugh about it when they get to a safe area.
Rescued twice on Everest.???
Yes. Ascent and Descent in one expedition.
Done just so at a New York cocktail party they can say: “Well when I was on Mount Everest…….”
These ego maniacs are destroying the mountains. They understand that they are putting their lives at risks when they go.
So yes she had to get rescued yes
A chilling story !
Sherpa is synonymous with expert mountaineer guide. Seems ignorant to impose a judgement on the woman (re: comments). Any professional that we hire like a surgeon, professor etc we might respectfully say "my ____" with implied respect. Also she would not want to name the hired expert who left her in a precarious life/death situation, showing reserve. People are so quick to assume without "knowing". It's a good thing to broaden our quick judgments with other perspectives imo. FYI The Nepal government collected $5.08 million in revenue from Everest alone spring 2023 climbing season. Let's hope improvements, to counteract negative impacts, will continue through calls to specific needed action.
As far as i know, sherpa means "east people from the mountain" its about their origin and ethnicity. Imagine going to amazonia, hiring indiginous guide and saying "my tupi ...." haha i would not like that
You cannot fix stupid. SMH
So what that bird didn’t make it up or down without being rescued both times ?
It would seem so😂❤
120k to risk lives twice. Smiling and nodding to the introduction. She is proud of this experience, it defines her as a person now, her story to tell.
@@dingse3_ 120k still ain’t done it 😂😂 how’s she saying she climbed it
@@teaincrumpets8456 thats true lol
She got on my nerves!!@@dingse3_
With as many of these Mount Everest videos I’ve watched and as brutal and terrifying some of the footage is, it wasn’t until I learned it takes an average of 2 months to reach the top, that it was all put into perspective.
There a thousands of peaks more difficult and more beautiful then Everest but a lot of Instagram climbers and tourists want to climb Everest not sure why
It's all about saying you've been to and stood on the top of the world
"I will do my job til the end" literally.
She says if ı have the money,spoilt ppls
Just like the titan but i was sad for the young man.
Over 200 bodes in and around the Death Zone. There are others who have been lost off trail or in crevasses on the mountain or covered by avalanches.
They should Ban climbing the mountains that soar above the death zone. Needless death’s and the mess being created in an otherwise pristine place.
This is a sample of the stupidiest of humanity. Spending thousands of dollars to take uncessary risks. Not contribuiting to scienve or whataver.
How has hillary step changed the climb? That vertical section collapse , causing the vertical climb to be rather less strenuous... has the bottle neck there let up at all. The earthquake shook that mountain up vigorously enough to make significant alterations
The climbers should be required to pay a cleanup a/ body collection insurance.
I know this might seem mean, but why carry these bodies down? Why not just push them n let them slide down? They are already dead, so why not just slide them off the mountain n grab them once they hit the bottom? Why risk lives to retrieve a body?
right…
I think some sort of steps and stairs which are snow free should be made all over the mountain and made into a tourist attraction. It should be supervised and manned throughout the day/night and closed during snow storms. If anyone is gonna rent the mountain out, they should pay a small monthly rent for it.
“My Sherpa” basically means my slave. The Nepal government is the real winner here. Who cares a rich tourist might die after we’re paid?🤷🏾♂️
It is actually an ethnic group. That word dosen't mean what people think it means it's just that most of the guides are all from that ethnic group
You're such liars
There are places that we are not invited!
Death by ego trip
That women has been rescued twice??!!!
Foul weather is a given. How can one have a nice day, even if one's ideal of a nice day involves suffering?
