Marco Siffredi was a French snowboarder who achieved fame and recognition for his historic first snowboarding descent of Mount Everest. Born in Chamonix, France, Siffredi was raised in the mountains and developed a love for snowboarding at an early age. He quickly rose to prominence in the extreme sports community for his fearless approach and his innate ability to tackle the most challenging slopes.
Siffredi's descent of Mount Everest was a defining moment in the history of snowboarding and cemented his place in the history of the sport.
Sadly, Siffredi disappeared on a subsequent expedition, leaving behind a mystery that has captivated the snowboarding community for years. Despite this tragedy, Siffredi's legacy lives on, serving as a testament to his courage, determination, and his love for the sport.

No one “conquers” a mountain. The mountain is just there, climbed or not, indifferent to whatever is crawling on it. Everest still stands, totally indifferent to who gets to the top, and how many bodies litter it’s slopes. The climber conquers only their own self doubts.

One thing that wasn't mentioned in great detail was the fact that because he wanted to make sure the route had plenty of snow on it, they went up much later in the season when the snow was chest deep on parts of the ascent. It's hard enough getting to the summit under normal circumstances, but in those types of conditions, it really took a herculean effort to make the 12 hour trek. By the time they got to the top, they were all beyond exhausted and that's part of the reason he was warned not to make the descent. At that point he likley knew he was in trouble but still could not be persuaded from pursuing his dream. One common theory is that he was so tired, he stopped at some point to rest for a bit, fell asleep and simply never woke up.

i believe so too, there's just no way you can "glide down" such a steep face. Perception can be skewed even if you'r down on the ground with good weather conditions if you'r looking at something far way let alone at the highest peak on Earth that's covered in snow, battling harsh weather conditions, high altitude and exhaustion.

I don't even need to see their size because one can easily disappear in a much smaller mountain called Chopok when going between the trees. It's relatively simple to fall next to the tree (mostly happens with face-first first some reason), so Everest probably has thousands of ways to make you gone. Plus the extreme cold and the effects it had on his board, rocks, etc. Amazing story in such a short lifetime nonetheless.

Yuichiro Miura, Reinhold Messner, and Hans Kammerlander all achieved certain firsts on Mt Everest, too. And they are all still alive at mature ages. While there certainly sometimes is bad luck in mountaineering, a healthy respect for mother nature combined with sober risk assessment is key to surviving. Irrespective of one's technical skill level, mountaineering without adequate risk management is not survivable long-term. You just can't rely on always having good luck. Neither is systematic risk management going to provide a guarantee that you will survive. But a structured and honest analysis of all variables, including one's own behaviour, helps a lot to reduce the probability of accidental injuries or death. Hearing Reinhold Messner, or Alex Honnold for that matter, talking about safety and risk management is highly enlightening.

It’s also a pure question of luck and Messner acknowledged it himself. Half of the best alpine style mountaineer are dead. Messner brother died on the same expedition simply because he was on the wrong side of the avalanche. Could have been Messner, so that point makes no sense.

@1155727 Жыл бұрын

@@timsourdille3404 - I respectfully disagree. My point makes a lot of sense, even if there is an element of "luck" in it. All risk management is about the possibility that something that can happen actually may or may not happen. That is in the nature of things. Appropriate risk management takes into account probabilities and potential impacts of things that can go wrong. The resulting risk exposure then needs to be balanced against the risk taker's risk appetite. I do agree that Messner, for example, must have a much higher risk appetite in mountaineering than I do. My two brothers and I are all still alive and have all of our limbs at an age at which Messner had long lost his brother and some of this own toes. But that does not mean that he is reckless, or that he does not manage his risks - he has discussed this in fair detail, and he clearly has an acute sense and understanding of risks, and he has actively been managing these risks. Sure, he could still have ended up dead. But there are people who are not managing their risks adequately at all - and that is a quick way to die. I do appreciate that someone managing their risks may still end up dead, but that is beside the point. The point is that adequate risk management includes effective mitigations, and as such it reduces the probability of coming to harm significantly. On the other hand, falsely assuming one's own invulnerability does not achieve anything. And there are people with that careless attitude, also in mountaineering...

There's a beautiful book about Marco Siffredi: "La trace de l'ange". Not sure whether it has been translated into English. This video doesn't mention how extraordinary of a mountaineer he was. He was indeed a snowboarding star and did insane stuff at an incredibly young age, but he also was an amazing climber. The reason why he wanted to descend Mount Everest a second time (and let's not forget that climbing Everest is a true achievement even in springtime) was to open a new descent. And the only way to go down that way was to climb Mount Everest in the fall, which is extremely hard. Very few people have climbed Everest in the fall. He was more than a snowboarding legend.

Snow boarding down into ascending cloud mass is suicide. I was caught high on a mountain skiing and skied into a cloud mass. I was in perfect white out conditions which means you are paralyzed in motion and can only see white in every direction. The snow was waist deep but it was so lite that you couldn't feel it. I had no feeling of weather I was still moving or stationary or standing up or laying down. I feared that if I was still moving I may ski off a precipice. I waited and it cleared and I was grateful.

@prbpbr Жыл бұрын

Curious as to why it's more dangerous on a snowboard than on skis if you don't mind elaborating. Also, I would love to comment on the last part of your comment: forbidding something from your kid will do you and them no good, we bring kids to this world and our only job is to teach them how to self-regulate, how to feel safe in their bodies to have the courage to choose for themselves. At the end of the day, if you have done this, it's their choice what they do with their time and energy. Whether it was a death wish or not we will never know, only those with whom he felt very safe to share his thoughts and emotions could speak to the nature of his drive. Him pushing through all the struggles to get up to summit and not seeing them as "signs" that it it wasn't the right day is the only thing that stands out to *ME* as something I wouldn't do but because as of right now, I don't have any activity I would absolutely die for, I enjoy my human experience slowly getting into mountaineering lol

@nudetaynehatwobble Жыл бұрын

@@prbpbr not forbidding, but not enabling either is what I’m saying. Teenagers don’t have a lot of money even if they have a job. I simply wouldn’t have supported it in any way. No car, no lift tickets or expensive snowboarding gear. And if he had to wait until he was 18 to start, it would have severely handicapped his ability to become a professional. I don’t believe in parenting with an iron fist, but it’s our job as parents to keep our kids from imminent danger and considering how far he was already pushing things way too at the age of 16. His parents should have seen all this and withdrew their support. Now as far as why this is so much harder on the snowboard… a lot of it comes down to having 2 edges on a board as opposed to 4 edges on skis. It’s much harder to control. Your body is also locked into one position on a snowboard. Now if you’re going to be skiing Everest, you’re binding would be so tight that you aren’t going to be popping out of your bindings easily, but in an accident the skis are way more likely to disconnect from your boots. That’s simply not going to happen on a snowboard. Your body is going wherever that board is which makes the rider’s injuries are far more horrendous than their skiing counterparts. Lastly, when going downhill on skis, your body is facing forward and is much easier position to maintain than in a surfing position on a board. Congrats on getting into mountaineering. It’s a very funny hobby to have
