For years there was a dead guy a bit further down who had green boots - and the guides knew, on the way up, to make a left at "Green Boots". They took that guy off a few years ago, and now people get lost.

[@SJR_Media_Group]

In 1971, I was with three other climbers on Mt Saint Helen's (before eruption). We got into a spot that was solid ice and over 45 degrees of slope. We couldn't reverse backwards. We had to get over to a safer area, but first had to get there. We removed our ropes, because if one fell, it would pull everyone with him down too. We went single file, kicking each step in the ice with our crampons. Took over an hour to get across ice slope. I was 'a bit nervous'. Probably the most scared in my life up to that point.

[@nathanielovaughn2145]

Have those cajones preserved for posterity, my friend. That was bad-ass.

[@SJR_Media_Group]

@@nathanielovaughn2145 Thank you. I was the least experienced snow / ice climber in group. I had rock climbing experience, but little ice climbing. I survived to tell the tale. I found an old photo I took looking at the 3 in front of me. Ice looked like a shiny mirror at extreme angle with footholds kicked in. We got in over our heads. That part of Mt Saint Helen's north face we climbed is now scattered over 200 square miles after eruption.

But just a few hours later Cash died from the effects of the altitude near the Hillary Step - a near-vertical rock face on the southeast ridge. According to mountaineering reporter Alan Arnette, Cash's body is not recoverable - and his friends said 'his final resting place will probably be exactly where he wanted'."

[@martuuk8964]

For anyone confused and who missed it in the video, the death being referenced in the title of this video can be viewed at 0:14 seconds. It's a frozen body in blue climbing gear, covered with a bit of snow. The corpse is that of Mr. Donald Cash aged 54, of Sandy, Utah. He died there on May 22nd of 2019. He quit his job as a software salesman the prior December before the Everest climb in order to complete the goal of climbing the tallest mountain on each of the 7 continents. He had completed 5 of the others in prior years starting in 2015, the 6th just a month or two before his death, and Everest was the last on the list. His physical constitution at that point in his life, in his early 50s was not suited (or no longer suited) to climbing dangerous mountains and he had already experienced several life-threatening events on the previous mountains, and had permanent injuries including lost fingers and toes. He summited Everest and fainted due to altitude sickness almost immediately after arriving. He slightly recovered, able to move under his own power, and then fainted again (this time permanently) on his way back down while being aided by sherpas. After fainting he slid down to that spot you see in the video at 0:14, likely only stopped thanks to his rope anchor. Despite the body technically being "within reach" of other climbers, the sherpas (the experts) determined it would be too unsafe to ever try to recover his body with current climbing technology, so it will be left there forever or until mountain rescue technology advances to the point where bodies can be recovered from near the summit without any risk to other climbers or rescuers (such safety technology existing decades or more from now will also mean that mountain climbs have likely become trivially easy and pointless). His family has a romantic view of the death and where his body has been left, but in reality his corpse is just another piece of litter trashing up the pristine natural beauty of the mountain, and the anchoring that was left there poses an annoying logistical hurdle for other climbers who are exhausted and sometimes under mild exhaustion-related psychosis when they reach it and have to navigate past it without losing their footing, which this video demonstrates. It's terribly inconvenient when you already have to dodge other climbers going up. Mr. Cash's death was one of 5 deaths on the mountain that week alone - all corpses left as litter.

some will say " he died doing what he loved" I say " Well, he probably didn't love it during that last bit, now did he?" There are places on earth that man was not meant to go. that's one of them. the other one is in the deep ocean, as we learned with that homemade submarine that imploded a few months ago. If you want the best chance of staying alive, don't go places that you weren't meant to go. To those that want to try to cheat death, do something easy like, not smoking. that is all.

I’m confused where is this dead guy?

If they look over the edge they're facing, it's like a 10,000 ft straight drop into China.

Yeah as if the fall alone was not bad enough

[@pieterveenders9793]

One side of Everest is in Nepal, and the other in Tibet. China doesn't share any borders with Everest.

@Ted Green Everest sits on Nepal/China border. Southern slope lies in Nepal. Northern slope is China. Tibet is a province of China

[@Poamy]

I may be stupid but how does he died ? He's not far away from the path, couldnt he come back on the path ? I know it's not that easy, but i have some trouble to understand how he died, if anybody can explain it to me it would be very nice

he fell and had a massive heart attack. Probably due to exertion and lack of oxygen.

I do not respect those who put the lives of others at risk because they're on an ego trip. If they want a challenge and deserved respect, do it without Sherpas staging O2, lines, supplies etc. The Sherpa people do not want to be up there but they HAVE to in order to support their families, due to the rising cost of living in their home towns which is a situation that exists SOLELY due to the presence of the rich on their ego summits. Sherpas are treated like tools, but the only tools there are well... you get it. This is not a thing to respect or encourage. You haven't summitted everest unless you've done it solo or with a group of people not employed by you.

Its hard to bring a parachute up there, its too cold, you have too much clothing on, not enough air maybe, too dangerous, not everyone can paraglide

Isn't summiting Mount Everest about the same as opening a plane's door in midflight? You end up in about the same conditions.

[@christianb8228]

No where’d you hear that? There’s videos of people who summited on a nice clear day and it’s not super windy or anything it’s the fact that the weather CAN change so quickly and the thin air takes a toll on the body especially when doing high intensity physical activity like climbing

[@mysteriumvitae5338]

@@christianb8228 Well, the thin air and the permanent winter. And the lower range of passenger plane flights is somewhere near the summit height of Mount Everest. One Frankfort - Hamburg (or was in Hanover?) plane, for example, flew at an altitude of, like, 9100 m in midflight. If it flew just over Mount Everest, it would be just the height difference of a high building between the summit and the plane.

the sad thing is that it's more often than not dangerous for someone to try to save someone else on mt everest so often people trapped and dying somewhere on the mountain are left to die and their body is often never found again because it's just too dangerous to do body recovery, the morbid thing is these bodies have become landmarks up the mountain that people use to gauge how far up they are. there's a grave at kangaroo grounds in victoria, australia that details an american who got lost somewhere on mount everest and his body was never found. it's really scary how keen people are to risk their lives just to climb everest.
