Is a crime what they doing to that mountain. I can imagine the garbage and everything else they leave behind

This was easy to listen to, as your voice was calm, and your cute doggies were calm 😊💞

"So first south asian woman from canada to climb mt. Everest." What kind of archivement is that? I am the first german guy, wearing a funny hat while having a mole 3cm next to the mouth that drinks a coffee to comment in this comment section.

Well I can see the locals even the body since to be prepared by the fact that they're born there. I do not understand this suicidel thing to do . What's the attraction the fun the adventure the point to fo do something you have a huge percentage of dying???????

Seems to me that profit motive is one of the more pernicious dangers facing Everest expeditions...

Bucket lists are pointless because at the bottom there's only death. She wanted to feel complete by climbing a mountain means she was empty to start with. What's a silly mountain going to do about that?

I'll admit I was a bit skeptical of your narrating but after a few minutes in and I will admit I enjoyed it thoroughly. My condolences to the family most importantly. Subscribing now! Best wishes from New York City.

Adding profit motive to the already insanely complex and dangerous world of high alpine climbing seems dubious.

Adding profit motive to the already insanely complex decision-making processes that high alpine climbing entails, is dubious at best.

She prolly shouldnt have been there. A lot of ppl shouldnt and paid the ultimate price.

Been looking forward to watching this one. Thanks as always !😊Also love the dogs 🐶

👍😎

Thank you for this video! you have such a talent for storytelling

4:02 Wrong. First American. Not first person.

So you don’t agree with Michael Tracy’s theory that the oxygen bottles were switch? I find it persuasive.

Not related to the content, but that intro hits hard!

Well shit, the documentary that they did didn't mention Sandy was on the last of the 7 summits, even though they said again and again that Yasuko Namba was. Crazy

I dont blame her, like the entire internet does. I think her inexperienced guides giving her another bottle of oxygen. They didnt properly manage expectations, despite knowing she would run out of oxygen on the way down.

In no way, shape or form did Into Thin Air portray her as the main villain. Not even close

I read Into Thin Air, and did not get the impression that Krakauer “blamed” Pittman, but rather used her as an example of a person who was not ready or able to climb Everest. The ultimate root cause was the decision to not turn back after missing the milestones that were supposed to be nonnegotiable. Unfortunately the financial and egotistical drivers to get to the summit were too much to overcome. And those drivers are still leading to deaths at Everest to this very day.

Jon Krakauer is a monster

Did they hate beck?

Every corpse on Everest was once a very determined person.

It was a storm at the top of mt. Everest .. it was a shitstorm at 30k ft. Everybodybknew the very real risks as they walked passed the bodies littering the path.

I’m sure Maurice did a lot more to help them survive than he was given credit for in this video.

These videos really show how much psychology plays a part in these climbs.

Excellent video and insightful comment and analysis. Hopefully this video may save a few lives…..although, maybe not.

I have read a few mountaineering books and articles. They have convinced me that I have no desire to climb any mountain, let alone one as challenging as Everest. My condolences to her husband and family..especially having to watch her leave knowing that it was likely she was not coming back.

The problem is Sandy herself reinforces the picture krakauer paints of her in every interview she gives. She comes off as self-centered, self-aggrandizing, arrogant, overbearing, and seems to have a martyr complex.

I enjoy watching the dogs.

maybe leave these things to ppl with some degree of competence in high altitude mountaineering...

The highest I’ve been is Dead Woman’s Pass in Peru - 4,215 metres or 13,828 feet. Well worth it but that’s about as risky as I’ll get thanks.

i need to know please what sculpture or lamp or art piece is part of the set -behind your right shoulder opposite the doggo? also great telling of exciting story thank you!

You don’t need a 3 hour video to say Sandy Pittman

No sympathy. Pay your money, take you chances.

Climbers are both selfish and elitist wankers

Sandy's team leader wanted her to summit because it would make headlines and bring other wealthy clients to his business. No one should need to be short roped in Everest, that is wrong. If you are short roped for 5 or 6 hours did you really summit Everest or were you carried ?

Wilco seems like a real-life villain

She’s a bad ass

Another excellent video by my fellow Canadian. Love your distinctive style delivering well-researched content. Thank-you!

“They accepted her as a client and took her money”. 4:20 I’m new around here but I believe this is what they call “foreshadowing”

😮

❤

I hate to say this, but Wilco sounds like a psychopath. On a cheerier note, I'm loving the snoozing dogs backdrop. 😂 A super account of an event I hadn't heard of before. Thank you for your hard work.
