Thank you for honoring the life and legacy of Yasuko Namba. May she rest in peace 🕯️

I wish the 2015 Everest movie gave her some more screen time. I feel like she deserves her own movie.

I watched an interview with Neal Beidleman on Mill House Podcast. What a remarkable man. He and Boukreev Should not feel any remorse for that night. That storm was fierce and they could not have predicted it. Sweet Yasuko was so small that when the bottled oxygen ran out her body just wasn't big enough to support her very long. I am glad her husband got her off the mountain and back to Japan.

The fact that Yasuko died so close to actually making it to camp is so sad, She could've lived had she endured just a little more. Rest in Peace

Its hard to comprehend these 8k+ mountaineers. Even if you are the best climber in the world there are things not to control which can put you in an early grave. As if these people lost the value of their lives and need to take these risks to feel alive.

@marilyndee969 11 ай бұрын

Same here. His book is called Left for Dead. They left him for dead not once, but twice. I have also cried over him. I have read he survived because there was just enough sun to wake him up. There was no sun to wake up Yasuko Namba. I felt she had no champion there. I have cried for her, too.

@marissanorth85 11 ай бұрын

She was not left to die. She had no chance of survival. She couldn't walk or talk and was already at death. They took those with the ability to get back. You cannot drag a person down from the death zone. She knew this.

@marissanorth85 11 ай бұрын

And by the time they were able to get back, they assumed her and Beck were dead.

@epicadventurearchives 11 ай бұрын

Due to Namba’s limited body mass, she succumbed to the extreme cold much sooner than her companions. Yes, she’d little chance of survival. Unfortunately, that murderous storm turned up from nowhere took the lives of eight people who’re making it back to safety.

I have little sympathy for those that insist on going where they don't belong. It takes a significant ego to want to summit a mountain at 29 thousand feet. Everest is littered with such egos.

If Rob Hall had had a clear thinking and left Doug following Guy's advice, he, Andy, and Yasuku would have survived and Beck would not have to suffer that much. I never had any doubt about this. Rob's term had only one guide Mike left exhausted and semi-conscious when reaching Camp 4. Anatoli of course would choose to save his clients first.

Jon Krakauer was suppose to come down with her but some how he simply abandoned her. He blame everybody else specially Anatoli Boukreev but he never put blame on himself since he was not a paying client, cheap bastard. He was there just to sell his book and that book is made up and full of lies and simply eronous facts.

When he gets older…. Or even now….. what is higher than any mountain in the world what is higher than Mount Everest, higher than any peak of any in comparison….. makes all mountains look like ant hills….! Conquering ourselves ! Living in the service of life, knowing God. Even in our dreams, God takes us higher than any mountain, hovering over the clouds, showing us some of our future and past.! And not to lose our lives, climbing up and anthill! for we are always climbing in the service of life

I'm no climber but I would imagine hard 4 a copter 2 fly at that altitude in freezing cold storm let alone land it on side of the mountain or drop something down 2 pick them up. Idk like I said not a climber jus have watched alot of these mountain videos prolly jus not able 2 save them in time. Some do get rescued tho but usually takes few days and conditions gotta be good. Most climbers know what they are getting n2 sometimes jus bad luck or foolishness.

@momtammy3563 11 ай бұрын

Rob Hall was in contact with his base camp personnel, while he was stuck high on Everest, just below the summit. They heard from him a few times in the day or so it took him to die. They even managed to put him in contact with his pregnant wife, who was down under (can't recall if she was in Australia or New Zealand). Really sad.

The context. They are at 8000 mt. What do you think a satellite call do? Call a helicopter? It cannot go that high to rescue people, and where will it land? And the rotor vibration can cause bigger avalanches. Correction... You are missing a LOT.

The whole endeavor is decadent for all but a few. There are only ever just a few climbers that are strong enough to be up that high in those conditions. And then just barely. I’m not saying don’t go, but if you do, and you don’t make it back, you have no one to blame but yourself. If you’re only there because you had access to the money to put you there. You really don’t belong there.
