Stranded At The Top of Mt. Everest - Mount Everest Disaster

In 1997 some daring climbers found themselves trapped at the top of Mt. Everest with no way of all getting back alive. In today's historical and educational animated video we are looking at the incredible and tragic story of the climbers stranded at the top of Everest as a storm made its way towards them.

[@jamesbroderick840]

Not many people die trekking to base camp. Only a few have ever actually died on the way to Everest base camp.

[@rara58524]

That's why many climbers later in life have taken responsibility to help the local people with education and better jobs. It's the best solution for everyone. As eventually the locals will have better opportunities, and as permits and taxes for climbing Everest will raise, this dangerous business of leading inexperienced people there would decline. The worst about stories like this one is that in their competition and efforts to save reckless clients, the two very experienced guides perished. Very sad story, but one to learn from. And if we sometimes find ourselves in the position of being clients, we should have some empathy for our guides. They are not superheroes and can't carry out every risky desire we might have.

5:03: Climbers have called standing on the summit as "indescribable." Well, that's certainly informative.

[@creapyalbinofish]

I mean that is a perfectly valid description, "indescribable" implies that words are not enough to explain the sense of euphoria experienced in a situation, perhaps one could describe the mountains winding around them, the fierce chill as you stand on what could be seen as forbidden land, a place where our ancestors dare not even attempt to go, but the emotions that one would feel in an indescribable circumstance is so complex and beyond mere words that to even try to describe it would be a disservice to the sight and experience.

Andy Harris was also a hero that night climbing back to the Hillary Step to try and help Rob with Doug.

I just read Krakauer's book about this, and he had a different account of the Beck Weathers story. Beck woke up and made it to camp 4 on his own. He was then wrapped in a sleeping bag and put in a tent. That night another storm blew his tent and sleeping bag off. The wind drowned out his cries for help. So, he spent his second night exposed. It was after all that, he was given the shot that enabled him to walk low enough to be rescued via a dangerous helicopter mission.

I was in Nepal a month after the April 2019 bottleneck. The pictures that came back from the mountain were insane and while they were released the guides in Kathmandu were still trying to recruit travelers to climb the mountain.

My honest thoughts on everything is i am ashamed by many humans trying to climb Everest for their own EGO. This should be left to only the most experienced and prepared climbers. I feel so bad for the Scheppas. They seem like such nice humble people trying to make a living and help, but are often put in dangerous situations because of weak or inexperienced climbers that want to summit just because they have money. It kind of makes my blood boil.

[@marniekilbourne608]

Yes, that is how the sherpas earn their living but they shouldn't have to risk their lives just to earn a living.

[@VTPSTTU]

Overall, this video covers the topic fairly well, but a few points don't match with what I remember reading. 1. I'm not sure that the south side is really that much easier. 2. You write and say that Beck Weathers waited to ascend with Rob Hall. He actually waited to descend with Rob Hall because he'd promised to wait. That was one of the big mistakes. If Beck Weathers had gone down with other climbers instead of waiting for Rob Hall, he wouldn't have been caught in the storm. 3. I don't think anyone gave Beck Weathers a shot of Dex to revive him. I think he revived on his own and wandered into camp alone. 4. We don't know whether Doug Hansen refused to turn back. What he and Rob Hall said to one another isn't really known. Rob Hall had been pushing hard to get Doug Hansen to the summit because he'd forced Doug Hansen to turn back the previous year. People seem to think Andy Harris was trying to help the two of them.

I see, I click, I like, then I enjoy😊

Yup

This reminded me of Lincoln Hall the person that got stranger on Mt. Everest for 36 hrs and survived

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Rob Hall?

I am from Nepal 🇳🇵and my home is near the village of Mount Everest. The view of Mount Everest is priceless!!! 😍😍😍

[@raomuhammadsharjeel8029]

I almost got lost on the top of Everest while watching this.

[@szuberi]

Rob was a great mountaineer but he broke his own rule and made the fatal mistake against which he himself warned his clients. He ignored the turn around time from the summit and stayed with Doug Hansen when he knew full well that Doug is not going to survive. By the time Doug was dead, it was already too late to be that high.

[@dryb3301]

There's nothing in the summit of the mountain everest that's worth dying. I hope people find purpose and happiness in their lives instead of trying to live in the brink of death to find some excitement and a sense of accomplishment.

[@marknaylor2149]

well said .but it is a great video

[@zorinxd5554]

I was blown away by watching this video

[@leviharrison4127]

The hardest part about being a guide is that in those situations you HAVE to leave people on the mountain, knowing they will die, to climb down to save yourself. This is why only experienced climbers should be in the Himalayan range, every peak is dangerous and Everest isn't even the most. If you want a fun climb with views come to Mt. Rainier, or Denali, or any of the 14ers around the world.

[@ie73s92]

I watched the movie “Everest” a few months ago. I really recommend it, it’s also based on this same disaster

[@ajinkyamate8661]

I have seen the peak of mount Everest while on a flight. The captain announced the sighting of the peak. However, I wouldn't climb!

[@sulemanmunir6150]

Very informative

8:56 * correction Matt Groom = Mike Groom. Just finished reading Into Thin Air. Great infographics summary. Thanks for creating it.

[@PalmettoGD]

I love how people say the most obvious things: Title: Stranded on Everest. “It was cold,” were the first words. 😂

[@backpackingtony1779]

I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. That was enough for me.

[@spektrumB]

It's more like hike up than climb up Mount Kilimanjaro.

[@bradenstuart8799]

Nice! I climbed mount sigh with my dad years ago, but it wasn't snowy and it was only like an hour or two to the top I think.

[@stellar3580]

I once climbed a snow mountain in front of my house

[@tundradragon8341]

spektrumB breh Kilimanjaro is the most dangerous mountain to climb

[@bradenstuart8799]

Great content. May they rest in peace. I hope anyone considering climbing would watch this video first haha I would never climb the mountain.

[@MihirBikerTrekker]

There are so many true stories about MT Everest climbing, both positive and negative. But it really really difficult to suppress the desire of standing on the roof of world.

[@nothinginparticular6419]

I'd try and climb but I wear glasses and I think about them breaking right before I reach the top and I just can't handle that.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

You could have LASIX and not be able to see due to pressure problems in your eyes at altitude. Like glaucoma.

[@subsetgamingyt9524]

My social studies teacher talked about this (and the movie) last year.

[@edmccaffrey1]

Mt. Everest is a tourist attraction and definitely not the most dangerous mountain as that belongs to K-2. I had 2 acquaintances on this climb from Aspen Colorado Tim Madsen and Charlotte Fox, both of whom summited and thankfully survived the climb and returned home. There were way too many mistakes and reasons for the 8 deaths on that climb to argue about here.

[@janspup6232]

The Rob Hall story is extremely sad, I'm very happy his daughter is doing well.

[@simonshawca]

I've actually thought the number of people who die on Everest seems low considering they literally climb through a "Death Zone"
