What Caused the 1996 Everest Disaster? (MARATHON)

[@Momokeeii]

I really like the way you quote from all the different climbers on the mountain, who shared their stories. Often, when I see discussions about this tragedy people will take one person’s story and tell it as the truth. Your choice to share everyone’s story gives a better understanding of the series of events that led to such a horrible tragedy.

This was brilliantly done! Rather than focusing on one individual, you’ve retold the events and individual actions in detail from beginning to end and as a whole. Huge effort and I appreciate the balanced approach, particularly when so many others are biased. Great job 👏!

[@mutedmutiny9542]

This is a fantastic video chock full of good info. I have read a lot about the 96 Everest expedition, and one thing I feel really confident about is that Anatoli was at his best WITHOUT using oxygen. Like you point out in the video, he used sneakers because they were light and allowed him to move quickly - this was just his style and his climbing method. He didn’t want to be carrying around oxygen tanks that would add weight and mess with his climbing routine, and when you’re as gifted and experienced of a climber as he was, you’ve warned the right to know what is best for your own climbing style. Basically I think if he had been forced to use Oxygen, it may have helped him in some ways, but it would have hurt him in other ways. Everything is a trade-off and even though he might have been able to breathe better, he wouldn’t have been as quick or light on his feet, and he wouldn’t have been as comfortable in the climbing method that he was used to. At the end of the day when you look at how many people he saved that day, I don’t think you can argue with it. It’s always so easy to second-guess when you’re not in any kind of leadership position, but How many people did Krakeaur save that day, compared to anatoli?

[@DM_21]

krakauer is a media p*g who created and perpetuated lies about people and circumstances of that tragedy. krakauer had no regard for how his lies would affect the victims of these lies. This p*g should have been dealt with and held accountable for his treachery.

[@loislois3526]

@@mutedmutiny9542 i think people also misunderstood him because he was from a different culture. Sometimes people can come off cold or rude or whatever but it sounds like he knew himself, his criticisms were valid and he was there to rescue when absolutely needed

Most people don't know that famous climber nicknamed " *Green Boots* " also died during the same storm in May 1996 on the North (Chinese) side of Everest.

[@sundog02260]

David Sharp died in green boots cave. He Tried to climb Everest alone with no Sherpa and no oxygen. People tried to help him as they walked past him but he was too far gone. Rip

[@kevinbrooks1104]

​@@sundog02260 no they blamed a guy that climbed everest with 2 artificial legs. Instead of just saying it was an event. Every dead body on everest, was once a highly motivated person. The problem is we are human and prone to miss steps . Everest is a place , where if you make a mistake you can die .

I’ve had high altitude sickness at around 10,000 feet. I ascended too quickly from around 4500 feet after spending a few days at 4500 feet while camping. I’d hiked the mountain before with no altitude issues, but this particular time I started throwing up around 10,000 feet but was too stubborn to stop because I was so close to the top (10,500 feet). I did summit and then decided I’d rest on the lava rock on top. I just wanted to sleep and puke. Luckily my friend forced me up and assisted me down for 4 hours or so. I continued to puke on and off all night back at our camp. I’ve since learned to go slower and eat and drink more when I climb at higher altitudes!

Very good job covering this fascinating but tragic event. Sadly, the deadly storm that year was, in the words of Jon Krakauer, "a typical Everest squall." The people who did survive were left with permanent reminders, whether in the form of lost body parts or PTSD from watching friends die. On a lighter note, loved seeing your dogs!

[@jcfc8197]

Awesome video, thank you. I’m a mountaineer, but I’m also into scuba diving. Love the mountains and the ocean. I’ve always remembered what my dive instructor told me on one of our many group dive trips, “y’all know just enough to be dangerous.” Meaning no matter how much experience you have, no matter how many dives you logged, remember it only takes one mistake to kill yourself. Never leave your buddy, you stay together always. You have to totally trust the person you’re with. That is why I only dive and climb mountains with people I know very well and trust them to do the right thing. I would never do either with strangers.

[@nathanjohnson3668]

This is an excellent comment. You are 100% right imo. I find it fascinating and scary how easily people are willing to put their well earned money and lives into someone else’s hands just for that selfie. I know not all people that climb Everest are like that but a suspect most of them are.

[@eytschayim26]

Yes! Three hours of adventures gone wrong! Thinking about people on a frosty mountain top while I’m cozy at home!

[@MrVante247]

Job well done. I watched the entire thing in one sitting. I did read Anatoli's book "The Climb" and you did him justice here. This story is so fascinating. I have yet to read Jon Krakauer's book, but I do hope to give him mercy today. Hopefully, he's not still the angry person who wrote "Into Thin Air" in the 90s but it is clear that he painted several people negatively in his narrow skewed view of things. In American culture, we mostly hear and only read of melodramas, where the hero always saves the day. The 1996 Everest Tragedy is very much our lifetime's "Oedipus Rex" with sprinkles of heroism in it with Anatoli's save and Beck's awakening of what's important in life. I walk away from this story with more of a cautionary tale, more of a warning and refocus... But I can't deny the wonder to witness and see what those climbers saw! (From the safety of television screen) Nice job on the video!

[@yolandacroes5491]

This is a fascinating story and I have watched all your videos about this topic. Last night I put this one to fall asleep.

[@dinimueter9961]

As someone who is living with chronic illnesses for years now , and is severely disabled by them at times (incl. chronic pain), I will never understand the motivation of someone who is already not at a 100%, to push further in a place like Mt. Everest. Like having a stomach bug and and still trying to summit. Or feeling severe pain with every step from wounds that won’t heal and trying to just walk it off. Risking their mental and physical health even further (and possibly that of others), when every small mistake can lead to your death.

[@bebemontgomery5024]

Great story telling. While I understand and agree with your assessment that every climber is responsible for themselves, I tend to lay a lot of the blame on Rob Hall. He did not make the hard decisions when he had promised to do just that. If the turn around time was 1:00, he should have enforced it. I have a difficult time with the fact that he just left Beck standing there for so many hours. Beck honored his promise to Rob while Rob seemingly just forgot about him. I cannot understand why he did not radio to someone to go get Beck and take him down once he realized he would not be returning to him in any sort of timely way.

[@rangda_prime]

The business angle really affected his decision making, I think. Once the decision was made and he pushed on with the ascent, most of it was out of his hands and exhaustion likely affected his ability to rally and make informed and rational actions.

[@nathanjohnson3668]

@@msmo2060I mean, when courtroom testimonies are heard the evidence is what rules the day in convictions not testimonies. Testimonies are always said from a biased point of view which is why you take all the testimonies and combine it with known evidence, in this case, the pictures taken on the mountain, orders of oxygen, climber rosters, reported summit times, etc. and then combine everything together using logical critical thinking skills to form a reasonable conclusion as to the events that took place that day. It’s not rocket science. Just cause someone was there, doesn’t mean they know everything or that you should take them for their word as facts. The people there were likely all suffering from hypoxia, PTSD, dehydration, and extreme exhaustion. To think they could recall all the details of an event in exact details is completely false. I suffered from PTSD from an event that happened to me when I was in the military and can recall key events that happened that day. My buddy recalls them differently and so does the radio operator and my other friend a few vehicles back. But, you put our stories together and you can come up with what exactly happened. To this day we still bicker and jab each other over what actually happened that day or what some believe as truths while others say it didn’t happen lol. The brain is a crazy thing and defends us even when we don’t ask it to. It’s called dissociative amnesia. It affects anyone that experiences traumatic events. Read all the climbers books and listen to their interviews. If you want to know more, look into the various logs, pictures, and summit data. Is Tracy 100% right in everything he says? Likely not, but he does bring up very good points that are corroborated with evidence from sources who were on the mountain that day or from data that was taken from that day.

The book “A Day To Die For” by Graham Ratcliffe uncovers the fact that Rob and Scott had inside information about the weather which is why they chose the date and why they allowed both teams to summit at the same time.

The trouble is that our brain literally does not function normally ”up the mountain”. Without oxygen and often a lack of sleep. Decision making, motivation, executive functioning, fatigue and exhaustion and a million other factors is affected.

[@nathanjohnson3668]

@@goldenniblingsI always figured it was more due to clients and businesses prioritizing the summit as clients pay an absorbent non-refundable fee for an attempt which puts higher pressure on summit success whereas traditional mountaineers would go up, assess, and then go back down if needed to try again when the conditions were just right as they would plan to be on the mountain for a long period of time and enjoyed the act of climbing more-so than just the summit part. Like enjoying the journey more than the destination type of thing. They also didn’t have to juggle the excess amount of teams trying summit on different days. And even with all that carefulness, there were still deaths due to accidents, sudden illnesses, and getting caught in the weather. Pretty bonkers to think that people say and think that Everest is an “anybody can do it” type of mountain since it’s technically not as technical as a mountain like K2 is. People are just naive and extremely hubris imo.
