One of the risks these folks take when going for the summit is that they'll get in trouble with nobody able to provide the necessary help.

David Sharp was undoubtably trying to commit suicide.

That's a solid point. I'm able to hold my breathe for several minutes at sea level, but there's no way on earth that I'd even consider trying to summit Everest without oxygen. The radio is a bit more understandable as the ability to get help at that altitude is pretty limited. Although, there again, it really depends where you are on the mountain when you do run into trouble. During a white out, you might only be a couple dozen feet from other climbers and uninjured and a radio would be a literal life saver in that case. You might also run into trouble when you're closer to the base camp and somebody could mount a rescue operation with relatively low risk.

There are only about a million pictures of Everest in the public domain, so there is absolutely NO reason to include randomly selected volcanos at the beginning of the video.

Rainbow Ridge, so called because of all the colorful clothing sticking out from all the frozen corpses. What the heck, that's so grim.

The thing is, downhill is NOT easier than uphill! I don't even say this as a mountain climber, but a simple hiker. If you get tired going uphill, flat is the easiest walking path. You have to control yourself going downhill. Add to your self a backpack and if you have a dog or something (probably the vast majority doesn't bring an animal). Having to control even more than yourself is quite hard, even if you're used to it. It's easier to face the earth on a steep hillside than away. You can't grab air! Also not fun if you're dizzy, which you probably will be with low oxygen.

What do you mean? Most people who attempt to climb it survive, although a bunch have to turn back before hitting the top. I think that if more people were being killed that it would be more of an issue. I remember summiting one of the local mountains when I was younger. It was not guaranteed, we went the weekend that had the best history of success, but we barely made it to the top in whiteout conditions. Got a garbage view at the top, but we got some amazing views along the way. There's just something like climbing high things that is in the human genome ever since we evolved from apes.

Love your videos and glad to see your adventures as well. Thanks for posting this too. Have a nice day now.

It's never tragic when people die doing things they love. Sometimes it's just one possible outcome of their endeavors.

I bet nobody wears green climbing boots on Everest anymore.

Mt. Everest is used as one of the primary examples of flawed logic in critical thinking classes. People become so fanatically (and financially) invested in making the climb that nothing will stop them from trying, even when experts tell them that they have no chance of surviving due to weather conditions.

Imagine thousands of years from now the Glaciers in which these bodies are interred release them like Otzi to inspire archeological investigators.
