“K2 is a savage mountain that tries to kill you.” That is how climber George Bell described the infamous peak after the first American expedition in 1953-forever giving the mountain its nickname-The Savage Mountain. Sixty-six years later, Eddie Bauer mountain guides Adrian Ballinger and Carla Perez aim to summit the 8611-meter peak and join a community of explorers fewer in number than those who have been to outer space. Even more incredible, they both will attempt the feat without the use of supplemental oxygen. Every step of the way the team faces hazardous conditions, terrifying setbacks, and crushing misfortunes. But as Ballinger puts it, “I'll go until the mountain tells me I can’t go anymore.”

In my humble opinion, coming from the west. If you are rich enough to travel to these locations and spend thousands on the adventure you should be wealthy enough to ensure those locals that help you are rewarded. I could not seriously live with myself endangering others for my ego and not ensuring they were seriously compensated for helping me achieve that. And I love climbing passionately.

With that said, it does seem like the Sherpas are the real mountaineers up there. They make it possible for others to reach a summit so they can say "I did it". But who paved the way to the top and who paid their way to the top becomes obvious.

Purja was the only team member to summit without the use of supplemental oxygen, becoming the first individual to do so. Purja is notable for having climbed all 14 eight-thousanders (mountain peaks above 8,000 metres or 26,000 feet) in a record time of 6 months and 6 days PROJECT POSSIBLE!!

The moral of the tower of babel is that man would attempt all that he could imagine. The problem is that man would forget God. Essentially, God is manifested in our recognition of Him in our treatment of others.

Yet they are too cheap to give anything to these amazing and hardworking people. Seriously - a $2 tip!! But then, rich folk stay rich because they don't GIVE anything away. These porters literally risk life and limb for the climbers, and the climbers wouldn't have a hope in heck of even getting there, much less of summiting, without them! For a lousy $2 tip!

@j.whiteoak6408 3 жыл бұрын

@@WtfKZbin_YouSuck Actually, their individual pay all depends on the expedition company, and like all businesses, their main goal is profit margins. So they don't pay the porters a great deal, and they are paid according to their positions within a strict hierarchy. They RELY on those tips, just as many employees in services industries in America do, because they only receive a basic pay with tips providing their main source of income. And if it works the same way at K2 as it does at Everest, then only the very best who are at the top of the hierarchy (and payroll) earn a half decent payment from the expedition companies. Yet the fact is that few, if any, expeditions or individual climbers would ever make it to base camp, much less succeed to the summit, without the porters! I've never been anywhere near K2, so I can only speak for how it works in Nepal, but I assume it's a similar situation for the K2 porters. In Nepal, only those at the top of the payroll with the expedition companies are even close to being 'well paid'. And they are mostly Sherpa, (ie. Tribal Sherpa) with good family names who've earned their reputations on The Mountain by working their way up from the shittiest portering jobs, up to being actual Mountain Guides. They explained to me that unless newcomers have family in, or are very well-connected with, the upper hierarchy of Sherpa then they almost always start off portering on the 10 day trek to EBC when they are not much more than boys - and from there they work their way up to being kitchen hands at EBC, then cooks, and so on. Eventually they cut their teeth on the mountain, getting their climbing experience on the most dangerous section of the entire climb: portering full loads from EBC and traversing the Khumbu Ice Fall and on up to Camp 1 - and then return, sometimes more than once each day. And too often these loads contain frivolous, unnecessary items - purely for the comforts and wants of the climbers - i.e. not to serve their NEEDS - and THEY risk their very lives on each and every crossing for it. And if you ask THEM, you'll find that THAT is something which they find is very menial and demeaning work - risking their lives, often just for frivolities, and for very low pay. Particularly because this is where so many of them die for that low pay. Those who survive the Khumbu can spend several seasons learning 'the ropes' - and ladders - on the routes through the ice fall, before progressing up the payroll to the 'well paid' jobs of portering gear up and down the mountain and some end up becoming respected mountain guides. The route through the Khumbu changes every year and that route is set every year by Sherpa who have become Khumbu experts, as the glacier changes every year with its cycle of advance and retreat from Summer through Winter - when it advances right over the top of EBC, bringing with it the ground up, mummified body parts of those many Sherpa who've died and disappeared whilst traversing the dangerous ice fall in previous years. The Khumbu then retreats again with the Spring thaw, exposing it's ghoulish leftovers. In fact, if you look closely at the ground whilst moving around EBC it's not unusual to see human bones - most are fragmented after the glacier has ground the bodies to a pulp, but often finds will include a foot still in its boot, or part of a human spine with the broken ribs still attached to it. Etc. The Sherpa collect all of these finds and hold a ceremony at the end of every season for their lost family, friends and colleagues. The wives and children of those who gave their ALL to porter for RICH and sponsored climbers must learn to do anything they can to survive without a major breadwinner. Wel, that is the story for the Sherpa at Everest. But I have little doubt that a few widows are left each year at K2. So .. Do you still think that they're greedy? Perhaps if you tried to spend just one hour in the shoes of the lowest-paid of them, you'd soon change your tune quick enough. You expect to be well-paid to work. In Western countries unskilled labourers can earn very fat pay-packets by risking their lives to do the very dangerous jobs that few want - underground miners, riggers, boiler cleaners, etc. So why shouldn't the porters have the same expectations when they're risking their own lives? But there's no minimum set wage or unions for these poor folk. They NEED the tips to make risking their lives worthwhile - and the climbers wouldn't get 2 feet up a mountain without them. So a $2 gratuity just doesn't cut it!

Incredible, inspiring, and amazing skills. I cannot imagine the pain, and strain they went through. I have climbed at 10,000 feet and thought I was going to die from the lack of oxygen. I cannot imagine three times that height, and even less oxygen, even if you climatize. Awesome video, thanks for posting.

Still think my idea of giving the Sherpas a free ride of zorbing inside a clear winged double wide trailer sized inflatable torpedo sled on top of K2 and Mt.Everest would be the most exhilarating experience of a lifetime and it's theoretically possible... The large inflatable mass would glide slowly off cliffs and we do have puncture proof rubber if we can puncture proof needles..

@tomw0815 3 жыл бұрын

Why should they get more credit? They get paid for doing that. And they get up to 10x of the average pay of other people in that region. Do you know the names of the people changing the tires in a F1 car race? They are super important but not the stars and no one knows them. That's the way it is. If one of the porters want's to be the star, he can organize an expedition himself, paying all the others and then making a movie about it and put his name on the first page.

I wonder if he was talking about K2 in 2019, he didn't mention any name.

Epic climbing documentary! The more I learn about mountaineering the more I realize,,,being hugely successful in mountaineering is about endless persistence and also humbleness which go together. To be persistent means you had to fail and failing means you had to make a hard decision based on wisdom. The savage mountains do indeed reward persistence but punishes impatience, carelessness and poor judgement with death. Messner said its always about the mountain adventure and not the summit. Summit maybe possible or not,, it depends on the mountains attitude. Messner said he learned young how to read the mountains instinctively and this taught him to survive but that half is still about luck.

Its not necessarily about being stingy. Tipping is not common everywhere in the world - quite possibly the climbers and Sherpas involved had discussed and agreed upon a price and the climbers were not aware that there was an implicit expectation for additional tipping.
