The 3 bodies you mentioned are not landmarks anymore. The first was blown off the mountain by the wind, and the other two were moved out of view of the route.

[@lindymcdonald8945]

My neighbour died on Everest in the 1990s.He died of altitude sickness at base camp .He was a professional guide on the mountain and even he succumbed to altitude sickness

[@zackwang9314]

how do you die at base camp?

[@lindymcdonald8945]

There are about four base camps on Everest And one of them is up in the death zone at around 28,000 feet .so he probably died at one of the high altitude base camps .

[@jamesbryan88]

​@@lindymcdonald8945only one 'base camp', the rest are camp 1, 2, 3 and 4.

no they're all called base camps them their numbers​@@jamesbryan88

Also beyond semantics, just because you came down doesn't mean you're magically all better. Many ppl have been flown off the mountain to then not survive despite being in the hospital.

That was actually quite informative and entertaining. A low-key coffee talk about DEATH with a smidge of social commentary. Nice work and thanks for posting. I enjoyed it.

I'm a climber. Watched and read loads of stuff about Everest. Your narrative was great! Thank you.

[@stevo728822]

They die because at a cost $50,000 and more, they are financially committed to reach the summit. It's all about money. If it was free, climbers would be more willing to turn around when it's too dangerous.

You keep saying that those who died failed to summit. Many summit and die on the descent.

@@christinegraves7487 the people who partake in hobbies that are particularly dangerous know the risks. Their family members do so as well, even though the majority do not agree with it. Neither she nor I are making fun of their deaths but of the choice to participate in this type of hobbies. Considering that mountain climbing WILL make you struggle to breathe, is not that far removed the comparison with the worldwide event that was occurring at the time. Is dark, ironic and a coping mechanism. Chill.

Irvines body was found by the Chinese. Pan Dou and Fuzhou said that on the 1975 Chinese expedition to the North Face of Everest, the team had found the body of Sandy Irvine and the Kodak VPK, which they brought home. Later, Chinese technicians attempted to develop the film but were unable to recover any images. It is also possible, if not likely, that the film revealed Mallory and Irvine high on the mountain, perhaps even on top. This, of course, would rob the Chinese of the first ascent of Everest's North Face, an accomplishment that occupies sacred space in the hearts and minds of the Chinese people. Of course, given the present trajectory of geopolitics, the VPK might as well have fallen into one of the gaping crevasses at the bottom of the North Face, so slim is the likelihood that the Chinese government would reveal to the world what's on that film.

[@rickp3753]

Imagine that feeling of pure happiness when you hit Base Camp the first time.. then the immediate horror as you notice the trash.. than bodies. You can't bullshit nature.. and for better or worse, real humanity is exposed up there. Hard to explain. I suggest staying below 6,000M.. it's a diehard climbing world out there these days. No room for rescue breaking records and avoiding bottlenecks.

This video popped up in my feed because I watch lot's of stuff about mountaineering and especially Mt Everest. I was especially intrigued by the title and the fact that a channel with only 941 subscribers has a video with 38K views. After watching, I now understand why. Great video presentation.

Would love to see you post on K2 the savage mountain. They have now got permanent fixed ropes going up K2 so they could commercialize it. What happens at Everest is starting to happen at K2, however K2 is a true killer, for every 6 successful summits on K2, 1 dies attempting it. You dont find bodies on K2 as much as you find body parts.

[@dukecraig2402]

Among other errors in your video you're wrong about there not being any kind of wildlife on Everest that will eat remains. There's a breed of ravens that the locals call Goracks and they gutted the body of Mallory, the people who found him don't talk about it because of how they pulled his internal organs out, they did it by "entering through the rear" which is pretty undignified and is obviously why they don't bring it up, the information was brought to light in an interview with a climber who was not with them but is friends with the climbers that set out to find Mallory, he was one of the people they consoled with because he's one of the researchers with the most time researching the Mallory and Irvine mystery, matter of fact they were all but lost to history when in 1969 he'd become interested in their story and wrote an article about them in The New York Times, ever since then interest in their story has continued to grow over the year's to where it's practically formed a cult following these past 10 years or so, the guy's who found Mallory's body obviously didn't want to say anything about that fact because his family is still around and considering how cruel people can be on the internet obviously didn't want to be the source for information that could be the basis of cruel and undignified jokes. The Gorack's are extremely hardy birds that can be found at all attitudes on Everest scrounging around for any kind of food around camp sites and have even been seen flying over the peak, they're one of only two birds known to fly over Everest's peak with the other being the Bar Headed Goose, they travel over it twice a year when migrating from the north frim the Tibetan Plateau to the south in India then returning north after the winter. Gorack's are definitely birds you don't want finding you if you're laying there injured, even in the death zone they'd have no problem landing and starting to tear you apart in a helpless condition.

I saw a photo of a deceased woman, probably at Rainbow Valley, which sort of haunts me. She was a beautiful woman, but it was so sad obviously. She just looked like she was contemplating something, but her eyes had the vacant look that only a dead person can possess. Another climber stopped to see her and the look on his face had the same I felt. It was sad, but I hope someday, she will return to her family for her final resting place. Did anyone else see her photo?

I refuse to believe that in a situation with so much horror and hardship that there was not a single incident of some poor unlucky climber ending up on the mountain menu.

I think it's a shame that one of the 7 wonders of the world has been desecrated like this by human beings. At age 71, I have no plans of ever climbing Everest, although 25 years ago when I retired I entertained thoughts of climbing it. I retired in Colorado and climbed several 14ers here, and during a long tour of duty in Hawaii, I climbed Moana Kea several times when ever my unit deployed to the Big Island for training. Right now, I would be satisfied with simply visiting Base Camp in Nepal, and seeing the mountain and taking photos and talking to people who have returned from the summit. To me, that would be a beautiful experience.

[@jimmirogers3485]

She doesn't know what she's talking about, you don't acclimate at base camp for up to 40 days, almost immediately get ready to climb to camp 1 , then yiu go down back Down ,repeat up to camp 2 , all done over a period of time. Sonetines yiu do camp 1 to 2 then back to base camp . It's process.. not all by sitting at base camp. And it doesn't take days to climb from camp 2 to 3 . 1/2 day or less by a good climber.

[@stevensurles8433]

It's not what it used to be, I camped, hiked and backpacked in the sierras long ago and respected the outdoors. Have moved to the 4 corners and camped in the San Juan's, the amount of toilet paper human feces sanitary pads just above camp almost made me puke this was 2008 the weekend after the 4th of July maybe that had something to do with it, the thing is that there were a lot of campers still in the area from New Mexico who totally thrashed their campground with trash and ATVs running over vegetation breaking it down like it was a contest to see who could do the most destruction on the plants.

He is still there!! Someone appears to have turned his body the other way - which would have taken several men hours to do - but he is still in Green Boots Cave! It's just that he's been there since 1996, and sometime the snow and ice will cover him completely, hiding his body from view.

[@babe3974]

30:20 what documentaries did you watch ? o_o

[@KSparks80]

Most of the bodies are on the upper reaches of the mountain. They never thaw, as it never gets above freezing up there (not too far above Base Camp). The snow doesn't melt off the mountain up there either. Most of it sublimates as water vapor. Or, the snow that blows & accumulates in the upper valleys has to work its way down the Western Cwm, form into ice as the Khumbu Glacier, and travel down through the Khumbu Icefall as it nears the Base Camp. This takes many years to do. (Even as low as Base Camp, day temps during summer get above freezing 2/3 months a year for a short time in the afternoons). Even with "global warming".

[@hackcult3738]

did you watch the documentaries on youtube or somewhere else?

[@repeat_defender]

I appreciate the theme of this channel and the topic of this video, and the delivery is great. There are just a few inaccuracies that aren't that important for the overall story, but are still inaccurate. For instance, the rainbow valley is not in the direct route up the mountain, it's purposely off to the side to keep the bodies out of the way. You don't have to "climb over"all of their bodies. Are there bodies on or near the path? yes, spread out individually, but rainbow valley is not something you hike through. I hope you don't mind me pointing it out. I think your channel is great and i want it to grow!

[@abmelvic5066]

Well done. Very well described, explained and narrated.I feel that each person who wants to visit Everest should pay USD$1million and up (according to the CPI) each and the amount to be distributed equally between the sherpa and expedition company. If the climber fails to heed the rules of climbing such as (not following sherpa instructions or litering etc, the expedition is halted, cancelled and the climber is to be expelled out of the country. There is too much money around and too little respect for the sherpa and the mountain. This is not Disneyland! and if climbers cannot respect the mountain, they should not be on it.

$5.8 million is not that much. Nepal should increase the price to $50000-$75000. This way there’d be lesser inexperienced people and Nepal could climb and they’d make more money. Also, there should be some hotel and a means of transportation for people who just want to visit the area. Like I wanna go see Everest, I don’t wanna climb it. Also, climbers should be mandated to go the bathroom there an throw their waste there for a certain daily mandatory price. This “resort and spa” would be very famous. Unfortunately environmentalists who’re complaining about trash on the mountain would now complain of the environmental impact of having a hotel there.
