The HIGHEST RESCUE on Mount Everest
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2023
- In May 2017, a climber and his Sherpa guide were trapped in the infamous death zone high on Everest. They spent the night at 8,650 meters, dangling between life and death. They were unconsciousness. Miraculously, in the wee hours, they awoke to the sound of other passing climbers who perceived them dead.
Many climbers passed by, believing they were dead, but eventually a group of Sherpas stopped to help. They had seen them earlier. It took them 12 hours to pull them away from death towards Camp 4 at the South Col.
This is their story.

May God bless all the people involved in the rescue of the two climbers. It is admirable that so many people stopped looking at their personal gain and let their humanity prevail. Thank you all, good people!
Great video, great people helping frozen climbers…
Thanks 👍
Fascinating! Good shots.
Very good documentary.
Thank you for such a documentary. Does anyone know how to contact Dawa Sange Sherpa? I like to know how Sange is doing today and what does he do for a living. I don't think he is guiding people on Everest. If I can locate him, I also would like to send him a donation.
Sherpas are Gods with mercy. Thanks to Gods.
Shout out to Dawa Sange. Godspeed.
It's a disgrace how the Sherpas are treated by some people, I can't imagine the pain Sange was in. British polar adventurer Ranulph Fiennes amputated several of his own fingers with an electric saw rather than endure the pain necessary to save them. Thank you for sharing this unfortunate young man's story, I wish him well.
Fiennes actually used gardening secateurs to amputate his frost bitten fingers.
His doctor remarked that he did an okay job of it 😱
Love your videos!!!
re: Bhatti trying to assign blame -- No no no... Bhatti cannot put this off on inexperience when experienced Sherpa guides told both of them on the way up to turn around.
And "Sherpa supply" is a real derogatory statement to make. They are not obligated to forfeit their lives for anyone.
As to being charged an extraordinary amount of money for rescue: I think Sherpas and Afghani porters do not charge nearly enough. If they did, it would weed out these weekend warrior type foreigners who have no business being on their mountains, fouling the environment.
"Guiding" companies charge significant fees but they don't pay the Sherpas, the real guides, much at all. And the pennies they pay the porters is embarrassing.
@@j-note3285 don't exaggerate, they're not paid in "pennies".
Sherpa guides get paid up to $5K for an Everest expedition.
That might not sound like much but that's good money in Nepal.

If only there were simulators people could get into for 2 weeks and see if they can acclimate, and get up and get down okay. I often think about this. Astronauts can fly zero gravity simulators. And also, more and more climbers are not properly acclimatizing.
There are, they are called smaller mountains.
Think about how expensive would that be, only mega millionaires would use that simulator.
The correct way to do this is to start with smaller mountains and increase gradually the height and maybe spend some days in the top of a smaller mountain and stuff like that
So its possible to be rescued in the tallest part of the everest? So why people die?
It amazes me that people want to play the blame game after choosing to climb Everest. Every death on these giants can be attributed to one thing; human frailty. The choice to put yourself at odds with mountain is your and yours alone. Skin, blood, and bones are no match to granite, ice, and wind. If you win; great. If you lose; fate.
I could see risking your life to climb Everest if the payoff or benefit was truly a transformative life experience. But I just don't think it is. I've never heard of someone's life becoming dramatically better because they summited Everest. Did they become more loving, generous, intelligent, forgiving, successful, etc because they climbed this tall mountain? If there was some physiological benefit, could it have occurred on a mountain a little bit shorter? Maybe a lot shorter like 11,000 feet where there is minimal risk. I'm just curious as to what benefit the climbers are getting when the risk of death seems kind of high.
Interesting.
