The sucess rate is not 73 per 100, nor the death rate is 27 per 100. Many climbers do not die, but also do not make it to the summit, so they are just not accounted for. Another thing is that you can summit the mountain and die on the way down, being accounted for in both sides of the equation. A more precise statistic would be given by deaths/summit pushes.

I think he worded it wrong. He should have said. "Out of every 100 people who attempt to summit 27 die." In 2012 Annapurna had a 32% mortality rate, but it was 20% as of 2022. Either way, I would climb Everest 10 times before I would k2 or Annapurna. They are the ones you climb if you are feeling suicidal.

@@EverythingExplainedd I've heard that Annapurna's fatality rate is so high in part due to a relatively low number of total climbing attemps. And that this rate is slowly decreasing as more and more people attempt to climb it because they are still figuring out the mountain, finding better routes, climbing strategies etc. and that the fatality rate is likely to drop below K2's in the future. Still a massively dangerous mountain though. Edit: Just checked and Wikipedia says that Annapurna's fatality rate has dropped quite significantly in the last years and was already below 20% in 2022 which is lower than K2 at estimated 24%

@stelioskaramitziotis2170 6 ай бұрын

@@EverythingExplainedd From the moment high-altitude climbing has become commercial the death rate in both mountains has significantly decreased. Climbers nowadays try Annapurna at the start of the climbing season, when the ice is still hard and the risk of an avalanche is lower. Annapurna is so deadly because of the avalanches, if you take them out it is still a dangerous mountain but not as dangerous as K2. In the last years, no one died in Annapurna because of luck, helicopters carrying O2 bottles up to the higher camps and helicopters carrying injured climbers. Commercial climbing makes the mountains safer but it kills the real spirit of climbing. Of course, I don't mind helicopters saving lives, but carrying O2 bottles, etc isn't my idea of climbing.

Locals will tell you that mountains have spirits, and it is said that the spirits of K2, Annapurna, and Nanga Parbat are very fickle and very angry and will kill you on a whim. I can relate to this sentiment as i live really close to a different kind of killer mountain- volcanoes. Now the ones here like Mayon and Bulusan and Kanlaon, can be summited like any other mountain, but just like the 8,000ers they have a death zone- when they erupt without warning, nothing within 6km of their eruptive vents are safe. A particularly fascinating coincidence, maybe, was when in 1997 a couple of rowdy foreigners summited Kanlaon and threw rocks into her crater. She exploded unexpectedly and killed three.

Guess it would explode regardless. Volcanic eruptions are a natural process, following their own laws and cause-and-effect principles. Throwing or not throwing stones into a crater are of zero relevance. If it's ready to go boom it goes. The poor buggers sealed their fates by deciding to climb the volcano ready to erupt. Darwin award.

Fun Fact: The French team that first summited Annapurna (and also the first to climb an 8000er to summit) chose this mountain because they cannot find the route to Dhaulagiri (their actual aim of the expedition) and settled on Annapurna due to coming Monsoon season. Amazingly, no one died on that expedition, and only some losing fingers! Source: Annapurna - Maurice Herzog

When for every 100 summits there are 27 deaths, the death rate is not 27%, but 21% as the 27 deaths are not part of the 100 summits. They are a part of 127 tries combined. However, this number is still crazy.

@JungleLarry 4 ай бұрын

Beat me to it. But the numbers are even lower: as of 2022 365 climbers have submitted Annapurna I and 72 have died trying. That puts it at 16.5% death rate. Part of the reason the death rate was so high was due to low sample size. 2023 was a very successful climbing season with much, much lower death rates. And the more commercial attention Annapurna receives, the lower the death rate will drop. At this point it doesn't crack the top 5 of deadliest 8000m peaks

Is a successful summit one who succeeded in summiting or succeeded in surviving having summited? The fatality rate is a survival predictor for those who make it to the summit, not for those who attempt to summit. You could go beyond the final camp as a guide or porter without any plan to climb to the summit so there's just no way to quantify the fatality rate for all attempts. It's a significant majority who die on descent regardless.

27% is “for every 73 successes, there are 27 deaths”, not “for every hundred successes, there are 27 deaths”.

I don't understand why people do things like this.. but they are a special brave type of person. Certainly people like this are the ones who drive the human race forward to explore and to advance.

There's a fine, but clear line between bravery and stupidity. Brave people save others from burning buildings, while stupid people choose to put themselves in harms way at their own volition (and then think that they're some kind of heroes / martyrs, depending on the outcome) 🙄🙄

Annapurna rate is decreasing every year because now more climbers have climbed it and they have set the path. Now most death rate is on K2.

It is ironic considering annapurna was the first 8000er summited.

Not a 27% death rate. It's a 27% summit to death ratio, that's different. Most attempts end up in going back, usually because of weather, confidence, injuries and equipment/logistics problems.

Since high altitude poses such a risk due to less oxygen could someone theoretically take a drug like EPO to increase their red blood cell count and more easily acclimatize to the altitude?

27% means for every 73 successful summits theres 27 deaths, not for every 100. then the total would be 127 and the actual deathrate 27/127=21.25%~
