Or at least you can justify that to yourself somehow. Maybe it would have made you late for work. Whew can't have that.

Then there's hypoxia to contend with, the brain is barely functioning at those altitudes, so people become irrational and unpredictable.

Everest has been summited almost 12,000 times since 1953. The mountain has become a graveyard for 300 climbers, and it is covered in garbage. Climbers routinely lose fingers, toes and even noses to frostbite. I don't understand why people still risk life and limb to climb it. It's no longer a rare achievement.

He said when you pee, it would instantly freeze, and you had to shit in a bag and keep it with you cuz if left behind, it could cause someone else's death if they slipped on it. He also mentioned having someone whose nose broke off cuz it froze.

@@susanlett9632 It's not analogous. I could give a thousand dollars and a warm bed to help the local homeless person, and for the most part, they'd still end up back homeless because most homeless people have addiction or mental health issues that are preventing them from acclimating into society. Also, in my case, I don't even have my own dwelling that I own nor a decent savings fund. I am a rough couple of months away from being homeless myself. So I am not the right person to be helping them tbh. The situation on the mountain is different because this is a functioning man who will either die or go on to live a decent life if he is saved. You CAN save him. And if you are a mountaineer, then you are also the person who is in the right place/circumstances to help him. It is not analogous.

They are also the ones who actually hike the mountain every year to put up the hooks and hardware used to keep the lazy tourists chained to the rocks. They do the real work. Many of them have summited multiple times. The rich people who show up to climb are basically carried up. It's a lot like the first two men who reached the summit Hillary (from New Zealand, part of the colonialist British Commonwealth) and Norgay (Nepalese-Indian). It was an out-of-place Hillary being dragged up the mountain by a local. Of course, Hillary took all the credit, but he has never admitted that Norgay got there first. Pretty much everyone in the Everest climbing community knows who really did the work. Typical British Commonwealth colonialist stuff.

It is important to note that once having experienced frostbite, for the rest of your life those areas will be more prone to frostbite again. 3.

Trust me when I tell you if you HAVE TO PAY anyone to do anything, it has nothing to do with heroism. It's remuneration for a service hopefully rendered.

If I met two people at a party, one who had gotten to the summit of Mt Everest, and one who had stopped short of the summit in order to save the life of a complete stranger who had been left for dead... I know who I would want to spend time talking with. I think its hard to imagine spending months or years of your time and tens of thousand of dollars in training and equipment and honing your skills, only to go without the achievement you were working towards. But the amount of compassion, integrity, and kindness needed to give everything up to try and save someone who probably wouldn't even survive? On a mountain where nobody even tries to recover the bodies of people who have died? I am very impressed by the kindness of these strangers. Fun fact: severe hypothermia can make it impossible to accurately detect signs of life. The ways we laypeople use (pulse, breath, pupilary response) are all very reliable in every case except for hypothermia. As a doctor on Grey's anatomy succinctly put it: "He's not dead until he's warm and dead." So if you are wondering why they decided he was dead and made the decision to leave him behind, they genuinely believed that he was fully brain dead. I can't imagine the horror of realizing that he was alive when they left him. The guilt must have eaten them up.

Is it worth it to try to save someone and end up dying too? Now there's two dead guys on Mt Everest. He's just lucky that he was saved by people coming up the mountain, as they still had some energy left to save him. When it comes to those extreme cavers who cram themselves into small cave systems and end up getting stuck... Anyone trying to save them are at extreme risk of getting stuck too.

I don't understand why anyone would ever want to climb past a bunch of dead people and not be able to breath. If people knew how lucky they are to have a wife, kids and family who loves them, they wouldn't risk their lives on a pointless goal. Bringing a 15 year old child is straight up abuse. They could have killed that kid, who was not old enough to make a decision like that. No personal goal is worth putting your kids through losing you. I hope the days people are celebrated and glorified for doing dumb things that seriously risk their lives are over. Its not worth the money and its wrong to do to the people who love you.

These people set standards, improve human knowledge , and also pass that dna down, which is the exact reason doctors and cops do what they do, why we have cars , electricity, running water , etc etc. I understand your not wanting to do it, different types of people. Some people build the world and some people live in it. These people have life insurance, they also get paid to do it by sponsors and by social media. If everyone thought the same, like you or them, the world woukd fall apart. We need adventurous people , ones to push boundaries and explore new things that are dangerous, their work teach us how to survive in cold weather, with low oxygen, and under stress, but we also need people to work within the world, like yourself.

Very good Kyle!! For a self described “not mountaineer” you struck all the right notes. Permit me these comments, in no particular order. I am 74 years old. Last year I traversed 404,000 thousand vertical feet. I look back on me at age 50 as if at that time 30, so to me Hall was definitely potentially capable from an age standpoint. However, despite his experience and technical proficiency it seems to me he was not physiologically naturally adapted to these conditions. Witness what seems to be his tendency towards frostbite, etc.. Best for everyone to accurately assess and acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses. Lastly, the rescuers absolutely did the right thing. Imagine the reward of having spent 20k and untold hours of training… to know that you made the decision to safe a person’s life 😮

What I've learned from watching tons of mountaineering, caving, & diving tragedy stories is that even the most seasoned + skilled veterans can... 'get got,' so to speak. Equipment malfunctions, weather, sickness, etc, don't discriminate. That being said, I don't think anyone is obligated or morally inclined to save anyone. The longer an individual spends in these dangerous conditions, the more likely something can go wrong. No good deed goes unpunished, & I have seen plenty of stories where rescuers die trying to help in these sort of desperate situations. It is what it is, except when it's not 🤷. Solid video 👍.

Right? That would be cool to reward those rescuers and give them another chance to summit if they ever wanted to. Unfortunately, it is very well known that the Nepali powers at be are greedy and they yank every penny they can from the people who are crazy enough to try to summit. The mountain isn’t even well maintained, there’s trash and bodily excrement, dead frozen bodies literally all over the place. Soooo with that, I don’t think they’re giving out free passes anytime soon. I’m sure some rich dude would sponsor it. But the truth is those who rescued him were likely already quite wealthy to be there to begin with so they’re not worried about the $40-60k investment. That’s chump change to them. Which is also why I think there’s such a “screw you” attitude on the mountain. It’s a bunch of rich entitled people who think they’re elite athletes who can summit Everest for bragging rights. There’s no integrity with that, there’s poor morals and selfish decisions constantly made. They do this for their ego. And the ego wins, because of how many people die here, are something to be studied. I couldn’t climb over bodies. I couldn’t walk away from someone dying.

The worst story they told us about. Was about a couple that was in the snow sommet of some moutain. Dont rememver exactly . But the man had his eyes starting to froze. They were gone. A rescue team finally reached their position. But they saw it was way to late for him. So they just told the woman that they were taking her to sqfety and will come back for him. He knew that they were lying and calm down his wife following the lies of the rescue team. He knew that he had no chance whatsoever to survive and just wanted his wife to be safe. They left him to froze to death, already blinded. I cant imagine his last moments on earth. Also a 14 years old kid was climbing a 300 meters natural wall with his school. So others kids were here. But he got stuck under a waterfall. It was impossible for him to continue due to wrong equipement or knot. And bassically had to be left on the side of the cliff to froze to death during the night (being under constant cold water and with the night temperature) When the rescue could reach him the morning after. His body was just hanging on the rope. They just detached him and kick him to be avle to retreivz his body.. I was training at the time.. and everyday i had to drive near the spot.

This was just beyond touching. Those were good men, but really, how could you have just gone on and left him? I couldn't.

Great upload Kyle, I've been subbed since 180K or so. Keep it straight up and honest as you do... Pretty sure you are probably saving a number of folks, time, trouble and occasionally from their worst unseen enemy, themselves.

In my opinion, if you ignore a person that is dying, so you are able to achieve a goal, there is something seriously wrong with your moral compass…! How could you live with yourself…..?

While I agree on that statement… Let’s not forget that those dying ppl were dying not by accident, but by their fully willing and contemplated choice! Reaching the highest peak in the world is one of the dumbest decision people are making! Mostly for bragging rights, search for adventure! No one took them there! They do it on their own behalf, with their own money! All risks well too known to them. And probably they are the most egocentrical people, that are ready on anything just to reach the top!(passing dying ppl without helping them) So why should anyone risk their own life for these dumbasses?! Is not like you are helping humanity, or innocent people in distress! If it’s me, I would gladly pass over them and continue to the top! …oh wait… that also makes me one of the dumbasses craving for the top?! (You see the fallacy in that statement?)

I think like something that a lot of people forget. At 8000 meters high not everyone is actually able to save someone. They barely can get themselves up there. And one of the first rules for any kind of rescue situation is to always prioritize your own safety. That doesn't mean you gotta turn around and go back down losing all the money you put in. Some people will continue cause they can handle the climb and the descend but not a descend with a whole unconscious person with them or a barely conscious person. Those people you rescue are dead weight. You need the lung capacity and muscle strength to actually lower a person. You're a on a time crunch to get down with those people as well. They're not gonna survive long if you don't hurry. And while sherpa's might be able to help in some situations. They're an exception. There have been plenty of stories too where a rescue attempt resulted in the death of one to eight more deaths just trying to save one. All the rescuers where trained mountaineers too. But that doesn't mean anything up on a mountain that dangerous. As a rescue party you also have a responsibility to your own life.

While I understand why climbers walk away from the fallen and the risk they pose to themselves with a rescue attempt, I would never want to put myself in a situation where there is a good chance I would have to make a decision like that. It would ruin me.

The situation in Mt. Everest is different from letting a man bleed out on the street. You’re risking your own life if you try and save someone up there. So it is not an issue of having no morals, but whether or not you’re willing to put your life in danger as well. It’s like saving a drowning person when you yourself don’t know how to swim.

@junrobin9335 Ай бұрын

@@sherrymartini_ Totally agree, you also gotta take into account that while that person is in peril and dying, your own body is doing the same. At that height your body is actively dying, it's just so slow it doesn't register really.

I am one of those who will never understand why people do these kinds of things. Neither you nor anyone else is any better off for you having done it. It is one of the most self-serving endeavors that I can imagine. Absolutely no one on this earth benefits other than you, and that is only in your mind. I wouldn't contribute one cent to support or encourage any activity that would put another in danger just to rescue you. You made the bed; sleep in it.

What other videos do you comment on that you have no clue what you are talking about? You go and watch videos of rockets being designed and start commenting about all the things they are doing wrong? And exactly how moral are you? Have you stopped at every car crash you ever been by to offer assistance? If the car was engulfed in flames and people were trapped did you save them? If not how do you have any room to talk about others not risking their lives to try and save a strangers? Nothing brings out the all moral holier-than-thou scumbags like a climber dying on an 8ker video. Most probably are t even organ donors yet that doesn't stop then for criticizing others for not risking their life's in the slime hopes of saving a stranger. Yet they can save numerous strangers and don't have to do anything but check a box at the license branch. Nothing worse than a hypocrite.

The amount of people who aren't even organ donors let alone ever given blood, acting all moral like they would risk their lives for the slim hope of saving a complete stranger who's near death.

I am a little obsessed with hiking videos, and definitely climbing videos, especially Everest. I’ve heard the story before, but it was well told. Great job! Also, just want to add like everyone else that the people that stopped to save Lincoln Hall really deserve acknowledgment. There are a lot of people out there these days that would not have done the same. That’s true integrity.
