Top 6 Worst Deaths on K2 in Human History

Ойын-сауық

Imagine you’re climbing a snow-covered mountain. The temperature is around -20°F and getting colder by the second. The air up here is thin, so oxygen is a luxury. Breathing is a struggle, and the harsh reflection of the sun on the white snow is literally blinding you. Your legs ache from the climb you have endured so far, and your mind aches from the climb that is still ahead. Each step you take sinks knee-deep, making it harder to put one foot in front of another. Will you make it to the top, or will you collapse in the deadly comfort of the snow?
This is the ascent of one of the deadliest mountains in the world - K2. Join us as we discuss 6 of the worst incidents on the Savage Mountain in human history.

Harila and her team tried to help him for about 90 minutes, then they had to move because of other people waiting, but one man from her team stayed with him longer. Then he had to head back to camp because of low oxygen. Oh, and he was a Porter, he didn’t fix ropes. He decided himself to push for the summit even though he had been warned several times.

Imagine climbing over a dying man so you can say you claimed a pointless mountain tells everyone the kind of people that clime. And Thay never take their trash back out just dumping their trash all over the place. He could have been saved if everyone worked together the drone footage clearly proved this.

    He stated the death caused a lot of controversy. He wasn't condemning them hence the question "what would you do"? The answer is simple they didn't ignore him. They refused to carry his ignorant dumb butt to the summit. They did not prevent him from descending. To live all he has to do was GO DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. I would have left him the rules are just as simple as the answer "only save yourself".

    The difficulties up there are a bit tough to appreciate. I have heard that mental acuity drops very noticeably, affecting not only decision making, but also physical coordination (e.g. a half an hour just to lace your boots on). You know, it's John Doe's choice, but if he's climbing on upwards even knowing he'll very likely lose some fingers and toes, he's not likely to have a lot of free time, as it were, not to mention free thought. An analogy might be someone trying to step in between two guys each twice his size, to stop them from throwing fists at each other. As many have said, it is brutal up there. Why people do it is a mystery, like people who want a 600HP car. ?? Is it an illusion of achievement? A craving for distinction? Maybe it's inherent, and people choose their own best and different ways to get there.

    Generally speaking, you got to be a pretty good climber just to die on K2, its _easiest_ route via the Abruzzi Spur is much more technical and significantly more difficult than most the routes up Everest. Conversely, this means the retreat down K2 is slow and exacting, and coupled with the fact that K2 has the lowest temperatures and the most brutal storms of any 8000M peak, the appalling toll it takes upon its summiteers while they’re on the way down, is no mystery.

    Unfortunately, the simple truth is that Mohammed lied about his climbing experience. This you tube is a lie, and very misleading, blaming the climbers for not helping this fraud. He was a low level porter, who lied to make more money. He did not have good high altitude climbing skills or gear. He risked the lives of everyone on the climb expecting to be helped when he was the one who represented himself as the guide who were to help paying clients to climb K2. Sadly climbing has turned into a tourist attraction & expecting to be rescued when you are poorly equipped and lack the skills to even put on your own climbing gear, or walk with that climbing gear on flat terrain is very dangerous.

    The story of Wiessner and Wolfe could do with a tiny bit more detail. According to what I have heard, the camps were emptied by the "team" on the assumption that all above them must be dead. Wiessner was furious. The attempts to go back up to bring Wolfe down were defeated by storms. It was practically impossible to climb up in the blizzards without getting blown off the mountain. About the K2 disaster, the fall of the guy who went to rescue the Serbian is a new piece of the story! I hadn't heard of him in other videos.

I suppose they could have turned round out of respect but with the queues that would have been dangerous. Everyone has focussed on Kristin Harila and her record as if she were the only one that could help. Her cameraman stayed with the guy for a long time but they had a message that her Sherpas above were in a bit of trouble also. Why can’t people accept this was a tragic accident and leave it at that

That had he been another rich westerner, the climbers would have saved him. It took him 3 hours to die. Alone. While everyone walked over him like he was nothing. You tell me that those with the drone footage were wrong. Had he been a rich client, would they have done the same? He was told to turn around because of supplies. It was an avalanche that made him fall. Are you telling me that had he been supplied with the right clothing, then and only then, would he not be at fault?

    Those mountains remind me of chocolate chip ice-cream! I like potato chips on the side. I don't abuse my ice-cream, it's nice and rounded, not chopped up, not left too long in the freezer. The challenge I have is deciding whether or not I want one more scoop. If it's a long video, I usually go for it! I mean, it's not like I don't care about guys stranded on K2, just that I don't see that there's much I could do to help. "Better late than never" doesn't really apply in historical situations. Sorry their expedition didn't go as they had imagined.

    I hope I'll never be so inhumane as to step over a dying man to acheive something as ridiculous as the summit of a mountain or to acheive whatever else for that matters! If I cannot not save him I hope I'll be humane enough to either go back to search for help or to make the man as comfortable as possible before he dies... Seing a man dying in front of you, especially one that is there to earn money for his family and allow rich people to acheive a stupid objective, should snap you back to reality and make you realize it's not worth it...

    When Pakistan did not come into existence, then the state of Jammu and Kashmir was a country with its own assembly, Prime Minister, State Bank, Judiciary, and other intentions. When Pakistan was created, the Muslim Conference was a political party that raised the slogan of joining Pakistan. In such a situation, how can Kashmiris join Pakistan? Even 2000 MW is being generated in Arad Kashmir and Azad Kashmir needs only 4 MW, so the electricity is cheap because it is not given.

    A legal agreement should be signed before climbing that shows that you understand that it’s every man for themselves above 8K. If you won’t sign you need to pay $130K to have 4 sherpas lead/follow and drag your sorry ass off the mountain. They should be provided $500K life insurance policies for babysitting climbers. As far as criticism leveled on climbers trying to survive above 8K and not helping…the critics have no idea what they are talking about.

    The problem with you people is that you don't hold other people accountable for their actions, Just an automatic judgement of wrong. They told the guide numerous times to turn around, you are not dress appropriately, did he listen?.NO! He continued, then when something happened to him he wanted someone to jeopardize their life for him? I bet you are the same people that will feel sorry for a criminal and they are the guilty ones! You have to live with your decisions in life, there are consequences; unfortunately he chose the wrong one.

    People stopped and tried to help him, but he couldn’t move and it was an impossible rescue. Still Harila and her team tried to help him for about 90 minutes, but then they had to move on because of people waiting. This is the worst place in the mountain, and they were risking their own lives. One from her team stayed with him until he had to head back to camp because of low oxygen. The Porter (Muhammed) should have listened when people warned him multiple times to not go further. His teamleader ordered all the Porters back down from the mountain, but he didn’t listen. He said the summit was reachable, so he went for it. The team who hired him is mostly to blame, because they hired someone with no experience + he didn’t have the right equipment.

    Let’s get this straight, it is NOT impossible to help. Yes it’s difficult to help, especially if it’s an inexperienced climber but he was not. He needed oxygen and assistance to descend a thousand ft to the next camp. He wasn’t ignored because people couldn’t help him. He was left to die because people had to choose between helping him or reaching the top. There was no real chance of doing both but there was a choice. This whole “it’s to dangerous to rescue someone” narrative is untrue when you understand that every time you go up, you are risking your life just to get to the top. So getting to the top is worth risking your life for but saving a man is not? Every time I dive I risk death so it’s asinine to then say I’m not going to look for my buddy because I might die. Those people that so callously stepped over him were the only people in a position to help. They chose not to!

Mauna Koa in the Hawaiian Islands is, from its' base on the Pacific floor to its' summit is 33,500 feet. Thus it is the tallest mountain in the World. The Earth is a spheroid, beind 26 miles wider at the Equator than around the poles. Mount Chimborazo, 1 degree South of the Equator in Equador, is only 22,700 feet but is 7 miles farther from the Earths' center, a fixed point, thsn Everest. Thus it is the highest point on Earth.
