  • The 'Everest is probably the most deadly mountain, Hypoxia and pulmonary edema are very frequent. Stand in the death zone is equivalent to a round of roulette, betting on red or black. But altitude ' s problems are already starting much lower and the famous acclimatization, to accustom the body to the altitude is almost noxius over the 8.000 meters.

    For these reasons, access to climbing, should be regulated in a much more severe than before. Honor to these men who help the rescue operation !

  • @esplorantes

    I believe that most of them are in turn Alpine guides in their origin's countries . But until the helicopters will come forth to the rescue of all the climbers and sherpas, t (who could be saved) the deaths will continue.

  • the dude that is helping at the ladder at the start is freaking awesome....hs..wow..i was speechless knowing where they were...he lust leaps onto the makeshift kayah thingamjig..wow..that guy is a true hero!

  • Not Impressive Rescue! :(

  • The people that stay behind to save another human life are more heroic and more valuable than one person summitting and abandoning fellow man. I know it's not always possible but this is a real show of heroes.

  • I attempted Everest on north side in 1996, the "Into thin air" year, just got down from 7.900 meters the day of the storm with weather already changing (10 or 11 may, I don't remember). At that time I saw dozens of crazy (would say criminal) behaviours, almost couldn't believe it was happening. Then again in 2003 from south side, but craziness hadn't changed, only some more technology and less deaths. No summits both the times, but I saved my own skin. As you say there's always next time...

  • @IlNodoInfinito what things in particular did u see that was bad?

  • i just realised what i wrote i climbed on everst but didn't make it to the top :) yes was a dissapointment but there is always next time unless someone steals the mountain.

  • Thank you for your words, Ouija, hope this will be of some example and reminder to those climbers who put their own summits before rescues and human life - and I knew a few of them during my work...All the best.

  • @IlNodoInfinito we think alike, I climbed everest in 2006, had a guy broke his ankle i was suprised how many people ignored what happend to him as if he had broken a nail. But there were people who actually helped him down and he was airlifted. I would rather not climb everest and say that i actually helped save a life then say i climbed everest. Alot of climbers are self absorbed bastards. Somtiemes there nothing you can do but at least try to comfort or relay the msg to family.

  • jesus man thats some FUCKING BALLS RIGHT THERE! What and outstanding human being... this thing needs to be more on TV and not some fucking kardshian sluts talking about their vaginas.... jesus man this is the true value of human spirit. I wish you all the best, even that sherpa sadly did not survive, all your effort will return to you one way or the other.

  • The rescue started at around 5.800-5.900 meters of altitude, at the top of the icefall and went on down the icefall for hours with desperate efforts until dark, before the sherpa died for cerebral oedema. I don't understand very well the sense of the last comment, but death zone or not, I can assure that only five western climbers stopped helping. That's it, plain and simple.

  • They are actually pretty low altitude.

    At the so called dead zone that is not possible at all. So don't say that there are climbers who are not willing to help.

    At dead zone alttitude with mask on, there is just not oygen to the muscles to do this kind of rescues.

  • @parmaian even at 5-6k its extremely hard to rescue due to terrain which is insopitable to any kind of manuvre. All in all kudos to those who tried to help this man, this kind of unselfishness will return to them in life.

  • @parmaian if you have a mask on then you are breathing oxygen... i think you must be confusing yourself.

  • Three Thousand different language working for the same objective... From Spanish to a Italian dialect (im Italian :) to English... RESPECT.

  • ball of steel. respect

  • These men are "the best kind" honestly you guys deserve recognition for doing the right thing when so many others are too obsessed with reaching the summit !

  • wouldnt wanna hang about in the icefall for too long...they all got balls!

  • Damian Benegas und Wilhelm Benegas werden ihren

    eigenen Körper bei solchen Handlungen, Anderen zu helfen, lebenslang schwer zerstören: "Colonne Vertebrale" und ihre Skelettaufhängung erleiden einen schweren Schaden.

  • @ssvalhalla Could you please explain that context?

  • Rather than using carabiners, a set of pulleys sure would have come in handy.

  • a climbers pregnancy .PUSSH PUUSHH PUUSHSSSHH!!

  • Everyone involved in helping that person are truly great climbers and outstanding people ! Good on ya boys for doing the right thing , even tho it must have felt impossible !

  • Fortunately there are also climbers willing to help, not only reaching the summit. The main actors of this attempt have been the patagonian Benegas brothers, two great guys...

  • i thought they just left people to die up there :/

  • amazing

    

  • This person is lucky they got rescued at all

  • heroes

  • @ironmanc5  LOL yeah...

  • @ironmanc5 thats not cool man every single man there risked their life to help this guy out he died of cerebral odema. Yes it took a long time to rescue him but what would you do if you were in a situation like this?

  • @ironmanc5 dumbass...

  • @rmizeelectric thanks, but don't bother replying to people like me , "tact is for peolpe who arn't witty enough to be sarcastic" it's just a bit of fun chill out enjoy life and live it to the fullest ," may your god go with you and regret nothing , because it was what you wanted to do at the time "....peace my friend .....

  • man this looks completely retarded
