10 Climbers Abandoned on Mount Everest

[@TheJapanChannelDcom]

The tone of this video is cheap and disrespectful. Feels like "The top 10 deaths!!!". Expected better from this channel.

Exactly. Very surprised this channel posted this. I know all of the videos are not created by this channel but usually they post awesome mountaineering documentaries

[@judyl.761]

You can dress it up however you please, nevertheless they're still abandoned

Maybe you should research David Snow before coming to such an erroneous decision. What does your resume on climbing look like?

[@aaronklingensmith8316]

Abandoned isn’t the right word not even close !!! Unless you’ve been there you don’t know what it’s like to try just getting yourself down let alone trying to rescue someone else above 8000 meters !! And how do you have a top ten list of people left on the mountain and not mention Rob Hall ?

[@irene_f.]

Mr. Rob Hall for some reason, as I had never met the man, was an incredibly sad loss.

[@dilligafwoftam985]

A large part of the problem , esp with Everest, is that 'climbers' have insufficient experience or ability and pay professional climbers to not guide, but 'take' them up the mountain. These guides will take inexperienced climbers beyond their ability level sometimes in dubious weather or snow conditions. There "should" be a requiremrnt to prove you have climbed X minor peaks and Y major peaks recently, preferably without professional guides, before a permit is issued to THAT person.

[@dilligafwoftam985]

I have no problem with people dying ... anywhere. Just don't imply anyone should help you, give up 'their' dream or die up there with you.

[@beverlyhitchon4901]

The story of David Sharp is not accurate. There were a number of people who tried to help David by giving him oxygen, but he was completely unable to stand up and despite being given oxygen was unable to even talk coherently. To say that absolutely nobody tried to help or even noticed him does a great disservice to those that did. Just wanted to clarify that, and not in a negative or sarcastic manner so please don’t take offence. Ty ❤

[@drdlin]

Yep, this is 100% documented by the documentary Beyond Everest. Literally video evidence that they did try to help him

[@irene_f.]

Was a radio call about David Sharp made to request help? I watched his story and there is disagreement about it. I tend to believe a call had been made for the simple fact that so many people had seen David Sharp in Green Boots cave.

[@beverlyhitchon4901]

@@irene_f. hello Irene, yes there was a call put in, I believe there was a group with a double amputee trying to reach the top and they contacted their base about David. They were told to carry on and not endanger their own lives. The awful thing is that the double amputee was targeted and blamed for David not getting help, including by Edmund Hilary! Like the poor guy could’ve done anything! It’s a terribly sad story as it is for anyone who has to succumb to the mountain’s conditions. ❤️

[@irene_f.]

@@beverlyhitchon4901 Yes, I recall the double anputee being one who had been blamed. Of all the people that saw him, and I do believe many tried to help him, why a double amputee getting blamed made no sense to me

[@Aw-ns1qx]

I can imagine leaving someone behind on decent to save their own lives. But to leave someone to ascend and summit when the person may be saved is just wrong. You may have prepared for years, paid tens of thousands of dollars, done everything right, but if you believe reaching natures highest peaks is more important than another humans life, then you do not deserve that triumph. It could have been them.

The word "abandoned" implies responsibility. Since no one is responsible for anyone up there, it's not the proper word to use. So I agree with you that Mallory was not abandoned. He just didn't make it.

[@jungleperry]

@@leanderrowe2800 agreed except I believe he did make it

[@aussiechris5904]

Correct, when his body was found, his leg was broken. Appears he slipped and fell. Only he and his partner Andrew Irvine were climbing at the time. Irvine's body has not been found yet, I think. Who do you think was abandoning them? The rest of their team was miles below and couldn't even see them.

[@billb.7346]

A harrowing book about Mt. Everest is called ‘Into Thin Air’. Why anyone would do this is beyond me but at that altitude it is every person for themselves. Trying to rescue someone else is nearly impossible and could cause their death as well.

[@beverlyhitchon4901]

@billb.7346 I have just finished reading into thin air. Yes indeed a harrowing story that had me gripped from start to finish! I would also recommend no way down, another harrowing story which saw a number of deaths of both Sherpas and climbers.

LoL..."Always carry extra oxygen always."?? 🤯🤯🤯 You can't seriously be THAT naive, to think something THAT simple is the solution these victims overlooked?? Insinuating these people died because they simply didn't carry the amount of oxygen that they should have, that they COULD have...is ridiculous. I assure you... EVERYONE hiking Everest w/ supplemental oxygen, is ALREADY bringing THE MAXIMUM amount of "extra oxygen" that they can possibly carry. A person can only carry so much stuff. Your comment is equivalent to commenting: "They should have swam longer. If they only swam harder. You should always swim your longest, and hardest."....on an article about someone who drowned after succumbing to exhaustion. 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

[@ninabambina4049]

Puh I don't know about that video. . You should really check your facts before you publish sth like this. Green boots was removed in 2014. Mallory was climbing with Andrew Irvine you could at least name him. Mallory also died most likely to an injury caused by his ice ax ( the one which was found was from Irvine ) and caused the fall. His body was found in 1999 by conrad anker. They went on a mission to retrieve Mallorys camera which could ultimately proof whether they reached the summit or not. Also his body is buried under stones. David Sharps body was also removed out of sight in 2007 so he is not in the cave anymore or "half buried where fell"

[@Badgerbadger1]

A bunch of people thought David Sharp was Green Boots when they walked by him.

[@rk24133927]

Agreed but that is why rescue is not an option. At 26000 ft your in the death zone, if you do not leave it you will die. No one can help another person weighing around 200LBS out the death zone.

I feel like if I was dedicated to climbing Everest and died on my trek, I would prefer to stay there. Something about that almost seems comforting, knowing I died doing something I felt so passionately about and got to be there forever. Just my take on it, though. I'm sure many people would rather have their loved one brought down.

It's possible that I misunderstood your wording, but close to 300 people have died on Everest. There have been more than 56 deaths in just the last 10 years. 2023 saw 17 die, which is more than how many died in the earthquake that hit Nepal in 2015.

I stand to be corrected, the majority of climbers who die, do so on the way down, after reaching the summit. Not on the way up !

[@ldhorricks]

I love this channel but this is a very poorly done video and doesnt explain the realities of high altitude climbing...all of which everyone must accept when they set out to climb in these conditions...so many inexperienced Everest tourists die and risk lives of, or cause the death of many others. Everest is out of control and has been for a long time. Hundreds of people in fixed rope queues trying to get to get to the summit in the same small summit window. It's appalling frankly. I don't think abandoned is the right term for these people being left where they fell.
