      @@dianocka1 The sherpas do this work because Nepal is very poor. It is soo poor that Nepalese people often sneak into India to look for work. These Sherpas earn a decent living by our standards (which means by Nepalese standards they are killing it!) It is a risky job, but the shirpa men who engage in this line of work have financial security and are able to send their children to University.

      Lincoln Hall (Climber) has a Wikipedia page about his rescue and it mentions Brash as well as several others, and especially a fellow by the name of Osborne. From the article, "Sitting to our left, about two feet from a 10,000 foot drop, was a man. Not dead, not sleeping, but sitting cross legged, in the process of changing his shirt. He had his down suit unzipped to the waist, his arms out of the sleeves, was wearing no hat, no gloves, no sunglasses, had no oxygen mask, regulator, ice axe, oxygen, no sleeping bag, no mattress, no food nor water bottle. 'I imagine you're surprised to see me here', he said. Now, this was a moment of total disbelief to us all. Here was a gentleman, apparently lucid, who had spent the night without oxygen at 8600m, without proper equipment and barely clothed. And ALIVE."
      The full team of folks summiting that stopped to save his life was, per the same Wiki article, " Daniel Mazur (U.S.), Andrew Brash (Canada), Myles Osborne (UK), and Jangbu Sherpa (Nepal)." On speaking about their decision to abort the summit attempt 'just' to try to save Hall, Mazur was quoted as saying, "The summit is still there and we can go back. Lincoln only has one life."
      Seems like a lot of amazing people made an amazing effort to get him back alive. It's quite impressive...the rescue, I mean. I suppose as I think about it, if I found out the guy was written off as dead the DAY BEFORE I was there, finding him alive and at all lucid would almost surely provoke me to do the same thing. I mean, if he made it overnight...ok, fine, I can pitch in a bit of rescue-energy too since he has already handled the most terrible part of surviving so far...not dying overnight of cerebral edema or hypothermia! If he made it to morning...afternoon, even!...I think I'd feel honor-bound in a way to try to match his 'not dying yet' energy, even if he had only scraps of it left by the time I arrived. If he were semi-lucid, I would have sighed, taken a photo of the summit from where we were, and...off we go with the not-dead-man!
      Though...can someone bring big plastic sleds up there to toss semiconscious-but-alive people into and then two people can maybe drag them down to rescue them if they are that exhausted? I mean, if the alternative is "...or die", well, I'll have to take my chances that I don't go for a sled-ride down 10,000 feet of mountain face, but if I did 'go for a ride' while being pulled back to a lower camp, at least it would look amazing on the way down! So...maybe sleds, for lulz AND for rescue-assists! You'd need ones rated for that insane cold, most everything 'civilian-grade' gives up or gets massively-weakened by reaching 'only' -20C or so! One of my Civic's CV shaft seals is rated down to -20C, and I had to ask National what happens past that when it reaches -35F like it was the day I asked! They said it EASILY cracks or tears with the tiniest of provocations, so I just started it up and let it warm up before I tried to move it that day! Oddly, and I even checked this with National, my OTHER CV shaft seal is rated to -40C. Only one of them is -20. So confusing...but anyway, I bet they can't use Wal-mart sleds up there, they'd almost surely shatter like they are made of crackers at -40 and below when the polymers stop trying to flex at all...but is there something they can use in a pinch?

    for anyone watching this wandering why the sherpa's don't just put him on a sled or something and drag/carry him instead of making him walk is because the slopes are way to fragile and steap. he would most certainly end up sliding down the mountain uncontrollably despite how many sherpas tried to stop him. plus you have to take into consideration how utterly exhausting this is and how weak the sherpa's themselves were by the time they even made it to him.

      Well, to be fair, that gear is a WHOLE different level from 'normal cold-wear'. I have an outfit for the snowy, can-be-super-cold-and-windy area I live in, and it is so insulating that when I tried to test the fit and make sure I liked it before removing the tags, I put it on inside my 65F house. I took it off again IMMEDIATELY because I was sure I would overheat and die if I closed that jacket up while inside my house. I went out onto the front porch to try it on, where it was 20F or so, and even there it was still promptly 'quite toasty'. This was with it not even zipped up. THEIR gear is even crazier.
      Then again, when he was half-undressed due to extreme hypothermia, he really should have just DIED and been done, so maybe part of it is just something about his metabolism. That really should have quickly been the end of him, even if cerebral edema should have already been. MAYBE edema faded...the cold remains cold. Physics plays no favorites. That man was several different kinds of lucky.

    I’m glad they included the wife’s side of the story, because when these deaths occur on Everest … we often don’t see or hear much from the family outside of something they maybe said in the media or in-passing about the death of their loved one.
    With her believing her husband was dead, she really did experience the grief and sadness, because she was outright told he had died. She was able to tell us how heartbreaking it was for, the emptiness she felt inside, and having to hear her son cry himself to sleep.
    It affects them greatly, especially when it comes to a body never being able to come home. Imagine the grief one endures knowing they can’t even have a funeral for their loved one to be able to look at them and tell them goodbye because they’re stuck on the side of a mountain.
    Attempting to climb Everest becomes such a selfish act when one has a family back home waiting on them to return, and when they don’t? It’s absolute heartache … and all for what? Ego? Self gratification? Sheesh.

    I read comments before watching this thinking to myself « stop focusing on the sherpas and take in this amazing story ». However at each passing moment I felt the same. Like so many people of color, their stories, their bravery, gets at best an honorable mention trophy. These Sherpa’s should be recognized by name, and a little bio of their lives, should have been written into the story. Yeah perhaps it’s their job, or perhaps their bravery and sacrifice is not so unique in this world of climbing, but I’m gonna bet my $1 the writers wanted to focus every bit on the heroics of this great, determined Aussi. This is a great story perhaps next time they’ll share the recognition in a more deserving intimate style.

      It’s extremely sad how badly they’re paid. Average is probably 5-6k USD. Top guides can earn double that a season, esp with a summit, but yeah, it’s paltry. I always read that they’re tipped like 💩 as well. Sometimes as little as 2$. Considering how well off most of these climbers are, it’s disgusting. People that go with cheaper expedition companies risk not getting helped if they get in the weeds up there. The sherpas won’t risk their lives for the cheaper aspiring summiteers, so Hall musta paid on the upper end if they went back up there for him.

    As I gather from videos, the Second Step is on an alternate route up Everest, the one that Mallory and Irwin tried. I believe that route does not cross the dangerous Khumbu icefall, so the shot from within a crevasse at around the 5:40 mark must be just for color about a different route? Whatever, I think the elevation of the Second Step is above the icefall. Odd, how people put videos together, a clip here, a clip there ... who'll know the difference!

      So there are two main guided routes. The most popular one is the south side, which is done from Nepal. It is the longest route the icce fall is just above base camt. It is also the one Hillary and Tenzing completed. The one Lincoln did was from the north side, which is done from Tibet. It is shorter but much more technical- ie the rock faces and such. But this video uses a lot of poetic license and stretches the story a bit.
