In October of 1999, an American expedition was acclimatizing to the high altitude conditions and mapping out a route for their filmed ascent, when tragedy struck the group. This is the story of that fateful expedition.

Easily amongst the strongest high altitude mountaineers of all time: *Alex Lowe & Anatoli Boukreev.* Lowe’s daily workout routine was insane: 1000 pull-ups in sets of 50, perfect form, done daily, just as a warmup! Boukreev’s power & stamina at altitude had to be seen to be believed. Both men were highly technical, possessed elite ability & excellent judgement when up the hill. They knew their bodies, they knew the routes & conditions, they knew the mountains themselves, they often climbed beside the best of the best, yet both men died, swept away in a instant by massive avalanches - Alex on Shishapangma, Toli on Annapurna, & if anything gets to me about this sport, it’s definitely that.

I mentioned that on the previous upload you have 15 minutes to find a person buried in an avalanche before they are out of time. It's not enough time on a 8000M peak even at basecamp to save someone. What Conrad had was himself and those 2 skier's to rescue his 2 buried friends while in thin air. Most high altitude mountaineer's do not bother with beacon's because they know if they get buried no ones going to get to them and dig them out in time. That work is just too hard to do at altitude. Keep in mind basecamp for most of the himilaya's is higher than Denali in North America.

@@aazhie No one is going to recover your body on an 8000M peak. If you are lucky someone shoves you into a crevase so people don't need to see your corpse everytime they go up. look up rainbow valley and Mount Everest. If you are already buried why would anyone risk their life to unbury you, and then drag your corpse down a mountain just so it can be reburied later? Cave divers also know that if they die their body may not be recovered, and it is expected that if recovery is difficult or dangerous you stay where you died.

I’m only posting this comment because after watching the video I thought they hadn’t found David Bridges. David Bridges body hasn’t been recovered, but he was found, at the same time as Alex Lowe. They were found only two metres apart. And the mountaineers who found them did not recognize them because they didn’t know them. They called Conrad Anker and by their description of the gear they were wearing he knew it was them. Alex was recovered from the mountain but Dave Bridges wasn’t. Dan Bridges said. “It seems absurd to do that-not just logistically but morally in a sense. He has been buried up there for this amount of time, and we would just end up taking him home, cremating him, and taking him back-because that’s where his heart is laid, and that’s where his soul is.” I can understand that. Each family is different and must be guided by their own heart. It’s so rare that the mountain gives those who perish back especially after that much time has passed. I can’t even imagine how difficult it must have been for all involved. I’ve never climbed a mountain (Ok, I climbed Mt. Finlayson on Vancouver Island 1,375 feet several times, but it’s hardly the same thing) so I really admire people who can do this 🗻

I'm afraid of heights and the older I get, it seems to worsen. Physical strength is one part of ascending succesfully, a strong mind is even more imperative, I assume. When you lose your "psychic grip" on the mountain it's over, your body will lose grip, too. And the most gruesome truth is, it might happen anytime. There is no way of saying, "aight, I aint having that, I just turn around and go home". You practically in the middle of nowhere, thousands of meters above the ground and thousands of miles from home, in the worst climatic conditions imaginable. I'm wondering how many fatalities just happened, when climbers realized that there is no chance of returning savely and they just fell "voluntarily", like in "better fall to death quickly" instead of dying a slow and excruciating death due to hypothermia.

I suppose you can be content with "they died doing what they loved" ? It is a loss, and these folks do often provide lessons or scientific interest just by pushing the limits. But it seems almost every one of them knows they will probably die on some expedition and have presumably made some peace with that concept. If not, they are arrogant and hard to feel too bad for. I have a gradient of sympathy, for sure, and I tend to feel worse for their family that lose them in such a sudden way. Even if you know their life is full of danger, it's easy to be more confident that they will return home when you don't experience the brutality of the climbs yourself

It's the uptalk that gets me. Notice how some of the words in the middle of a sentence start sounding like a question. The content itself is good, but the constant uptalk tone is hard to listen to.

I’m going to start a memorial foundation for my dead buddy and plow his widow. I’m a good person.

Such a heartwarming sentiment! With some careful estate planning, his wife wont be the only one receiving a generous payout from his life insurance! Blowing his retirement fund is a classy alternative to the traditional ''grieving'' processes. Have you considered kicking his dog right square in the nuts? What a lucky fellow your friend is/was! You sir are a gentleman a scholar, and a noble lawman!

I don't know why, but marrying your dead friend's wife always seemed a little... 'awkward' to me.

There was never a more virtuous gesture than pumping your best mates bride in memory of said fallen compatriot. In keeping with the scumbag decorum, an airtight gangbanging of his/your wife in your best chaps bed never hurt anyone.He surely looks on with pride...

They all were best friends before this happened. Conrad is a good man. They just helped each other through Alex's death and than fell in love. Nothing wrong with that.

@@papadave3084 Could have done that without walloping the widow. It would have been the ultimate good gesture instead of a desecration-call me old fashioned.
