Dead and Lost climber video on Everest www.sherpaworld.com

[BackStageCowboy]

all ego driven rich people...

[etphonehome2915]

Say hello to all the dead folks on your way to the top, how bizare... Good luck.

[rbf0621]

i just came like 5 times

[JackKangaroo1]

Okay, let's say I'm physically fit and flush with cash. I've got a choice: spend fifty thousand bucks on three month vacation in Cancun sucking down pina coladas and hopefully getting laid a lot OR hiring a sherpa guide to take me on an excruciating climb up a freezing cold mountain with a severe lack of oxygen where I will likely freeze to deathand end up a corpse on the mountainside while trying to get to a place that is totally uninhabitable. Buenos dios, senor, another pina colada please!

[ipaintyou1]

@thestackerrr you should sew your name in your underwear so we know who you were in 60 or 100 years if they find your body. good luck on your climb

[lewandlo]

looks like the vultures were feeding some of these guys. wow

[Frito258]

Ok I know it's real!

[jithization]

sad video, Rest In Peace those who died

[thestackerrr]

sure hope i don't end up on a video like this, when i go in may.



[annabatarowicz]

@thestackerrr if you do maybe you can audition for the next george A, romero movie

[honda156mx]

is he ok?

[honda156mx]

is he dead?

[a217andy]

poor souls

[NastyNatey]

I wouldn't say they are lost, I think they are finally home.

[educatedcockroach]

Unfortunate. But poetic I guess, if you were to ask the climbers I'm sure more than a few would be okay with that.

[educatedcockroach]

Does anyone ever try just pushing them over the side? I know you can't bring them down because of the risk to whoever tries to carry/drag them, but maybe they could be dropped or slid to a more manageable altitude?

[loner1878]

@educatedcockroach Most bodies can't be moved. They are literally frozen/fused to the mountain in the freezing cold. As said by many who have been up there: "You die up there, you become part of the mountain."

[kearnej]

@educatedcockroach they become ice blocks weighing 125 - 200 lbs dead weight isn't easy to move, plus they generally get froze to the ground not moving around like they would when they were alive.

[damnonii]

@educatedcockroach Bodies have been pushed over the side as a burial before, very rarely are they ever found again. Everest is a VERY large mountain, the bodies roll and fall to wherever they go, also the conditions are to extreme to just tromp around looking for bodies. You would just wind up with MORE bodies doing that.

[CerebralWTF]

One adrenaline junkie down..

[VinUnleaded182]

Are you a sherpa? If so I got so many freaking questions for you

[Ouija121085]

there is a good analogy here saying that only paratroopers know why brids sing :) its the same thing with mountainclimbing, but the risk is great there are so many things that can go wrong, avalanche, cavitation, sliping, above 8000m is great effect on human body death zone sets in. People develop pulmunary odema, cerebral odeama, can get pulmunary infections, heart attacks as its starves myocardial tissues of O2, so many things but once you make it its a bliss.

[Penthesileya]

@Ouija121085 A paratrooper jumps & is down in a few minutes(still in a height where he can breath without oxygen) Not really to compare. My opinion: If you cannot do it like Messner; without oxygen & Sherpas, almost dragging this "mountaineers" up to the peak, leave it. The real heroes in the long story of the Sagarmatha climbing are the Sherpas. My opinion.... :)

[Ouija121085]

@Penthesileya Climing without O2 is dangerous not because you can suffucate but because it leave permantent damage to your cerebral tissue even after you make it down. There have been medical CTR scans of people who have climbed Everest and other 8000m+ peaks without O2 and they all have mild cerebral atrophy at the cognitive region of their brain. So its not at all advisable as you will get brain damage. Sure takes balls to climb without o2.

[0ukami]

@Penthesileya Not everyone who climbs gets dragged up the mountain by Sherpas, so please stop spamming that on every Everest video. I doubt all those who solo climb these peaks are dragged up by Sherpas... the nerve...

[tdbsnr]

@DysphemisticOptimist Yes, and lumps of ice & rocks if you're unlucky.

[MultiAgent33]

Omg!!!

[megaflyinbrian]

what a waste of good climbing gear.

[Bevpluz]

Dad? :S

[MCSnicks]

sad. this seems very, very real.

[popmovie303]

@brandonwoti Uh, very real.

[azbeeman]

Mountaineering is for self involved, selfish assholes. Good outcome or bad, same type..Woo hoo, I summited..or not..

[codethis]

These mountain climbers died of SELFISHNESS.

Nothing more and nothing less.

Some of them had children, that depended on them.

Yet that overwhelming responsibility took a back seat to their desire to "conquer" a stupid mountain.

Sad.

You can't choose your parents.

It's all a crap shoot.

[nitroexpress700]

@codethis agree to that

[JTudders]

@codethis I think it is unbelievably ignorant and short-sighted of you to discount something which is clearly an amazing achievement. If it weren't for people taking huge risks, the human race wouldn't have got anywhere.

As for specifically searching YouTube for an Everest video, and proceeding to label the dreams of so many (whilst blatantly disrespecting those who died pursuing it) as 'sad' is so pathetic that I almost feel sorry for you.

[kunal048]

@codethis u r Coward....lol....such an asshole u r

[missmars12]

I myself would not climb mountains (though i would love to see the view myself) i can understand why people go. How many people climb the highest mountain in the world? How amazing it must be to climb so high, see stunning views with your own eyes than on images across the internet, be someone who survived, to be somewhere were the majority of the human race will never go. Think of the advancements in equipment which could help survival rates in one of the most desolate regions on the planet.

[l4dgoodies]

Thats horrible

[boxman1571]

R.I.P to everyone whose lost their life on Everest.

[Sethsmusicvideos]

why have a fight about what its all about? If you were a real trekker, mountieer, or climber, youd be blessing these men and women. Dont fight, its not a climbers nature to fight, you could take two COMPLETE strangers and scale something like lets say half dome. By the afternoon you have two best buddies! Now calm down. RIP climbers, im sure this is how you wanted to go.

[grimlund]

I know who the guy at 0:30 is. It´s Scott Fischer. Hi died in the big disaster in may 96.

There is a picture of his dead body in the swedish book "8000+".

[Crashman2]

The Sherpas remove them because hey don't want Westerner ghosts polluting the Sacred God-Mountain..... and you are a fool if you think 25,000 feet up and -40 C is a survivable environment. All it takes it ONE storm to wipe out even experienced climbers. No one can really be fully prepared for THIS- the Ultimate Climbing Risk. It's hard as hell nowadays to get a permit to climb it from the Nepalese- and it should be. The dead freeze hard as marble and only decay like mummies when exposed.

[MrProjectdjim007]

you just cant comprihend it can you ... bless them ... imean how bad is it up there..

i see doc's n films about Everest at home with the wife n think id like to try that..

but naaaa that is just crazy crazy... is it all about fitness or is some of it mental.. ??

[dinnerandashow]

Sherpa World has strange rides and attractions.



[DickGonad]

 WHY DON'T HE WRITE ???

[ripleyrichard]

02.00 id use him as a little jump

[JVPRCNG]

There's a Job for Ya.

[N9155E]

@genericmember1234 :Please explain!

[Drever98]

Nomnomnom

[Saranghaeifly]

RIP

[bulkforce5]

mountain climbing is a fantastic and life-improving sport which can be done easily without having to spend sixty plus grand or leave behind your grizzled status-seeking ass on someone else's sacred mountain.

[gumdokim]

These ppl died doing something they probably enjoyed doing... We all like to live adventurously. Let them rest in peace.

[baddestbarbii]

Yeah. I doubt these people have lived more than 99.9% of us, that's false. You don't know what they've done in their lifetimes. All we know for sure is that they wanted to climb a very tall mountain... then DIED. They aren't heroes for that. They weren't magically gaining insight by climbing a cold rock. They may, however, have been using their fighting spirits. Something their families could be enjoying right now. If they didn't CLIMB A FUCKING ROCK.

[coldheartless1990]

@baddestbarbii bit disrespectful...

[94981745]

looks like the uruguayan flight 571 members have been up there for a feast

[YesNoMaybeSometimes]

@94981745 Low blow man, low blow.

[94981745]

@YesNoMaybeSometimes hahaha yeah that was a bit uncalled for sorry

[tdbsnr]

@94981745  Ouch.

[tdbsnr]

@94981745 Ouch.

[mutlipass]

Well, plastics last longer than stupid people

[Rotpig]

sorry, not a video. Just a bunch of stills @ 0.5fps.

[BluesHarp60]

Mountain Climbing has always been a terribly dangerous Sport and the people who die knew full well that it could be the Outcome!

[bjf5027]

I would love to see the reactions of the aliens that find these fossils 29,000 ft above sea level

[gazthefunky39]

Everyone of these people have known the risks involved in what they were doing. It's not like jumping on a roller coaster there is a very real danger of death and severe injury, but they did it anyway. I don't think it's very fitting to feel sorry for them, in my opinion it is a very selfish thing to do to your loved ones. People come down and tell horror stories, I can only think what did you expect? It's not like no one hasn't done it before.

[DaryluzB]

poor people some of them must have been mother,father,son or family thats just sad those where people love ones they cant just let them rot like that

[petejones216]

God bless!

[un42n8karma]

So? Die doing what you want to do? Is there a better death?

[vaypet]

@ObamaWasBornlnKenya it's a 25 000 dollar permit to get to nepal to climb everest so good luck with that lol.

[zer01ife]

I'm sure he was lost before he was dead

[gaminkalv]

I think I remember hearing about this. It was a father and son team that was stranded and died together. 

[marcnsparx]

if it was left to these people, we'd all still be in caves.

[sirus804]

@marcnsparx These people? Are you talking about the dead people, the ones who left the bodies, or the natives of the Himalayas? Either way.. For the ones who died: wanting to climb the highest mountain in the world doesn't make a person primitive. For the ones who saw dead bodies: It is impossible to bring a body down from the mountain.. It just isn't possible. Too difficult. For the natives: ...they don't live in caves. So, whoever you're talking about.. I countered it. Don't be ignorant.

[marcnsparx]

@sirus804 i'm not sure what you got from my post, i was saying if it was left to the people saying "climbing a mountain is stupid, we should all stay at home in the safe warm walls of our homes and not do anything dangerous" i was saying, if the world always thought that way, we'd all still be living in caves.

so you didnt counter anything, as i wasnt talking about either of the things you mentioned.

[sirus804]

@marcnsparx Shit.. my bad.. I didn't know who you were talking about.. Yeah, I completely agree with you.

[charlieeloise]

@sirus804 ha ha "I countered it" your such a fucking silly prick. ha ha what a gimp! you make me laugh loner....

[helmer1805]

@marcnsparx These people were from the kind that left the cages and made it possible for you to live your life the way you do. If it weren't for adventurers you'd still be in Africa (birthplace of mankind) starving. It's for adventurers that new worlds got discovered, new things being done, new inventions to be made....So if it were to you, you'd still be living in a cave...

[marcnsparx]

@helmer1805 i'm assuming you didnt read what i said properly, since that precicely the same point i was saying, i was saying that without them we'd all be in caves, i was attacking the people criticising people for climbing everest

[helmer1805]

@marcnsparx I'm sorry, you're right.

[skibumwa2001]

I have trekked to Mt Everest Basecamp. Just getting to 5400m is tiring enough. These people did live far more in their lives than most armchair commentators here in Youtube.

RIP my fellow adventurers...

[ozzirt]

@skibumwa2001 Wow!,... what do you want,.. a medal or a chest to pin it on.

[UnscrupulousAgitator]

There should be a sound track, maybe ... "you find out who your friends are"?

[IExposeMormonism]

Every picture on here is a picture of someone who has died more than 99.999% of us. I know it's an ice box up there but the place is littered with bodies and parts of bodies. Would this be allowed In Eurotrash land or the United Snakes? How do the owners of Everest, those that live there, feel about having their snow melt contain so many ppm of EuroMan in?

[pk33617]

@IExposeMormonism I'd say you could round that up to 100%, because ANYone who has died, died completely, once. Not "more than 99.9999% of us"

[IExposeMormonism]

@pk33617 I was making sort of a pun out of the "every picture here is of someone who has lived more than 99.9999% of us". (There are the near death experiences of those rare few who slid along both sides of the fence)

[Bustanutt808]

Everyone knows they are hibernating. BTW are you allowed to scavenge the bodies for spare materials? Or a quick snack such as freeze-dried jerky?

[nbarry2240]

@Bustanutt808 LMAO!!! oh man, lol, thank u for that, lol

[shempmocurly]

ridiculous, there is no treasure or reward to climb this stupid rock and yet men will die on it for the sake of some percieved glory they may attain , ask the abandoned wives and children of these ridiculous men if they think it was worth the risk , ask the fatherless and widows if they feel there was anything noble about thier deaths ..they died for nothing ..there was NO cause to risk thier lives and thier families futures for , they died for the sake of EGO

[PlowThePow]

@shempmocurly watch u die of old age you dumb fuck.... i'd die doing what i wanted to do.... and yeah i'd respect someone who died up there more than you couch potato ass.

[marcnsparx]

@PlowThePow i bet you $10 @shempmocurly is fat.

[ozzirt]

@marcnsparx And I'd bet that you are as dumb as dog sh!t,... because he's right. They all leave their families to suffer in the name of their own self glorification. It's not like it's even unusual anymore, if there were any more parties scaling Everest they'd need traffic lights on the busier routes.

[xForeverMinex]

@ozzirt, very good comment! humans should finally start to think before they do something stupid! it simply makes no sense to work a family up, and then seeking death on a stupid mountain, only to suck in some high altitude pictures! but, humans are well known for doing stupid things! you won´t find this kind of behaviour in the animal world.

[PristineSneakers]

@xForeverMinex You mean like moths flying into flame? Or dogs chasing cars? =p

[xForeverMinex]

@PristineSneakers, dogs chasing cars? why would they do that?

[VWieVendettarocks]

@shempmocurly So you think it is better to work 30 years for getting nothing but a little house, a bad job, an annoying wife, annoying kids, annoying neighbours and sitting in front of your TV. I will try climbing the Mount Everest and if I die, it was still fun.

[shempmocurly]

@VWieVendettarocks ...How sad that God would bless you with a family ( wife and children ) and a home , and neighbors and you would call that a curse and choose rather to climb a mountain and die than to keep what God has given you and thank Him for it ...you choose death over the life God would give ? then you deserve the death you recieve

[VWieVendettarocks]

@shempmocurly God doesn't exist for me, so I don't see a problem with receiving death :)

[fatmikecj]

@shempmocurly It depends on your perspective. For you a good family and home is what you want and that's great. Other people might find that boring but would find challenging themselves to do something as extreme as climbing everest to be an adventure that's worth more than anything else they could possibly get. You find that stupid and that's fine too, but it's not your place to tell others that your way is better.

[THRILLHOUSE85]

@fatmikecj Cheers for posting, very well said. Sad these people met their end, but it's good to know they went out doing what they loved. They knew the risks roping up, and are now resting well at the roof of the world. You can't explain mountaineering to those not interested in the activity, as the draw is pretty much indescribable to people wanting a comfy life.

[charlieeloise]

@THRILLHOUSE85 no some people just have respect for loved ones and don't put their own dangerous ambitions over their children etc...

[THRILLHOUSE85]

@charlieeloise You mean some people live their lives for other people?

Yeah, those people don't generally get into mountaineering. Frankly I think it's silly you believe people who follow their passions have no respect for their families if those passions took them into harm's way. Please have respect for people's right to self-determination.

[ktmracer1251]

@fatmikecj well said!



[ajs3939]

@fatmikecj the world is a beautiful place this climbing they do is to experience the world in all its glory its what makes them happy to them its like going on a fairground ride its the feeling it gives them that makes it special they know what may happen up there and does happen but that wont stop the exhilaration of the experience its like touching god

[helmer1805]

@shempmocurly I personaly believe adventurers to be better to 'God' and 'Gods mighty, beautifull but sometimes rough creations' than all of the so called 'model-citizens' who spend their entire lifes in the same suburb and see nothing of the true magnificance of Gods creations, thus not honouring it.

Adventurers (Lets call mountaineers adventurers shall we?) do not curse their earthly things and familys. They just live their lives to the maximum of what they believe to be right.

[helmer1805]

@shempmocurly It's honostly stupid what you're saying. No adventurer has ever died for nothing. It's for the adventurers who made our world as it is today. It's to everyting that we take for granted. They didn't die for the sake of ego. To say something like that really shows your lack of abillity to respect other peoples differences compared to yours. It's a shortcomming in life and will most certainly get you nowhere.

[shempmocurly]

@helmer1805 ...if they were exploring NEW territory that would make sence but they are just going where men have already gone , to a DESOLATE place and who has EVER benifitted from going there ? it's not like you can send people there to live and populate it , there is NO treasure there to attain , there is no resource to exploit , it is ONLY for glory ..MANS Glory , and what is that? something you can hold in your hand? I think not , No it is for the sake of EGO and nothing more

[TallmanMike]

@shempmocurly "to a DESOLATE place and who has EVER benifitted from going there"

That's exactly why they go.

[fuckcomments]

Leave them all there until the technology exists to reanimate them ;)

[MyLifeMyWayMyWorld]

these gonna be preserved and found 10000 years later

[dazzelknight]

My friend died doing what he loved ...

Heroin !

Boom boom

[14Srb88]

@dazzelknight Hahahaha,you crazy loon ..

[jsaldana773]

fake!!

[patton303]

They obviously didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night....

[seekirk]

The bodies should be left on the mountain as a constant reminder that there is nothing heroic about dying on a mountain. If you feel sick, turn around.

[freewill51]

Piss on them. They go up there, fall over dead, and people say how they lived a great life. NOT. Not smart enough to be somebody, they hope to achieve that honor by doing something really stupid. Again, piss on them and take their boots and put them on eBay.

[mrdave777]

@freewill51 Although harsh, I agree with you to a certain extent. People call the individuals that die on Everest as heroes....I disagree! How are they heroes? They go into the ascent KNOWING the risks, they go into the ASCENT knowing who they can leave behind...I find it to be a selfish act if they have children, or people that rely on them! I dont feel bad for the "victims," I feel bad for the ones they leave behind!

[kvsuprise]

@freewill51 Its about more then achieving honor. Its about achieving something great, doing something that is a crazy challenge hoping to walk away and say: Wow, look what I just did, look what I just conquered.

[MineCraftPawner]

No top comments? I go now, and when i get back this best be a top comment!

[DjLEATH3R]

@MineCraftPawner fucking douche bag. You're being a fucking thumb whore instead of whishing these people were still here. Asshole.

[tntchef]

Sad.....:(

[TheTwollocks]

im sure i saw bobby sands

[b24harman]

I was wondering...are there animals up there that knaw on the freezing flesh...or is the environment so harsh it just rips them apart and strips flesh away?

[Grvthang]

@b24harman I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but I doubt it's animals. Nothing grows up there, so there would be no natural sources of food for them to be up there in the first place. And I doubt there are any animals that would go up that high looking for food (the air contains 1/3 the oxygen that sea-level air has). In Jon Krakauer's book "Into Thin Air" he describes seeing untouched frozen bodies on his climb of Mt. Everest.

[wtficantgetausername]

@ObamaWasBornlnKenya sure try getting there

[cowbellpeaceprize]

What is this climbers name

[Alexancun]

Oh my God, the dogs barking again, it's almost impossible to not find them here, what they have replacing their brains?

Anyway, god pictures

[4shacks1house]

@genericmember1234 Yeah, but not for long.

[freqeist]

@genericmember1234 its all relative.

[MrSnowbaorder]

everest aint nothin k2 is way worse

[MrDistrugator]

@MrSnowbaorder The highest death rate of climbers is actually Annapurna, not K2.

[comingatchu]

@neobes

I suspect that they haven't decomposed, but rather, the clothing and skin have slowly been scoured away by wind driven ice crystals and bits of grit. In other words, I think that they've probably been eroded rather than decomposed. On top of that, due to the low moisture content of the air they've also undergone severe desiccation.

[Trexpass]

@neobes it happens... but VERY slow!

[MySanAndreas]

2:12 first carrot to conquer everest

[robby123ism]

@MySanAndreas ok ur a sicko ur so disrespectful to these lost lives

[MySanAndreas]

@robby123ism was just joking

[liamis01177]

@MySanAndreas I thought what a cunt when reading your comment, untill I actually saw he looked just like a carrot.

[techracer2003]

it's sad at the same time it's also a an extremely dangerous sport, like racing fast cars, RIP to those that died

[mashbob11]

I feel so sorry for these people dying like that its just awful to see!

[777bigmick]

really sad most of these are probably sherpas as well people should pack this crazy activity in

[officerdepfife]

dying on Everest ain't ALL bad!!! nice views... people spend days of effort trying to visit you...no worms or insects to eat your body...set world records for time on summit...

[infraredruby2]

when the hermit crab moves on, why would you want to reanimate the shell?

[fuckcomments]

You should leave the bodies there. They died a death which preserves them well. There is a chance in the years 2 million + the technology will exist to re-animate those people.
