  • @cemx86
    @cemx86 8 років тому +1169

    Casey - You are very lucky to be alive. The danger here is not the cold or lack of endurance. It is lack of oxygen (hypoxia). This starts happening above 12,000 ft. This mountain is 22,828 ft tall. One key symptom of hypoxia is confusion. Basically, you start making very bad decisions.

    • @anal.8255
      @anal.8255 8 років тому +102

      so basically I have hypoxia 24/7? but I'm below 12K feet, how?

    • @cemx86
      @cemx86 8 років тому +9

      I assume you live below 12,000 ft. Hypoxia is a problem that starts being an issue when you are ABOVE 12,000 ft.

    • @Natalia-cb5gf
      @Natalia-cb5gf 8 років тому +35

      This is why you have to put your oxygen mask on first on an airplane because at 25,000 feet you have 15 seconds to put on the mask until you get to the point where you get confused because after those 15 seconds you don't have the mental awareness to know you need to put the mask on

  • @rgrant
    @rgrant 6 років тому +2469

    I climbed Aconcagua in 2003. Even though the group I was with had guides, they both got got Hypoxia on summit day and wondered off and left us. I remember stumbling up to the summit by myself, taking twice as long as I had no idea where I was going. As you were having blackouts you were very lucky to not have fallen over on the summit approach, those big boulders at the top are loose and constantly moving about - at one point I was climbing over them with crampons, I remember thinking that this is probably not a good idea. It felt like I was drunk and hungover but lucid and walking underwater, once I got to the summit I just collapsed - I didn’t even take a photo or look around, I just wanted to get back down again.

      David Di Franco you are missing the real point of this story. In telling this story, he is attempting to talk some sense to those who are reckless. Like my father did for me, he is telling us his mistakes he made so we don't repeat his. To repeat, my father told me daily a mistake he had made in the course of his life. My father did a wonderful thing in doing this, for I avoided so much heartache in my life. Casey is doing this on a grand scale for all of us. But as the saying goes, "pearls before swine".

That's crazy to think that him and his friend we're standing taller than any human being on the planet on a Christmas day. His videos are so inspiring and interesting

    Something similar happened with me and my brother in law. Went to this mountain, was like 2000 meters above the sea level.
    On the way, the only thing that kept pushing me was how i much hated the idea of my mom always wanting a son to "fill the house" like literally talking (big and fat) and how much i wanted this to change...
    I made it. We made it. Great panorama. Great feeling... But turning back, after our phones started working, i found out that my dad had an infarct and passed away. The most horrible ending ever.

Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day.

      What I really focus on is the value of the content and what I’m truly passionate about while helping others! I'm glad that I'm foolish enough to believe that I can actually start making money through my passions. I've never thought that I'd be able to gain 1K subs faster. I can't imagine how many opportunities could have been wasted if I didn't have courage to go after them. That includes having this channel, being in a management role, having the people who actually care about me for who I am, freelance gigs, being an ambassador in a creative community and now I'm also planning on honing my public speaking skills through joining a toastmaster club and these all happened in 2023. It started with writing them all down on a piece of paper. A paper that serves as a reminder for me to go after what I want even through hard times. I'm not bragging about my accomplishments but simply hoping that this message can also inspire others to believe in themselves.

    Climbing above 20,000ft without proper acclimatization is quite fatal. It can lead to High-altitude pulmonary edema. Fluid starts accumulating in your lungs and your brain starts swelling which can lead to delusional disorder. Yours was a classic case of "Summit Fever". Thats the reason why theres always a team leader at base camp who makes the decision to summit or not-to-summit in any organised expedition, because often times at high altitudes people become delusional and try to achieve the impossible.
