All The Ways Mt. Everest Can Kill You

All The Ways Mt. Everest Can Kill You | WIRED

7 місяців тому

Mt. Everest is a famously inhospitable environment for humans-if someone from sea level was dropped at the very top they’d be unconscious within minutes. Many dangers await those brave enough to make an attempt at the summit, and Dr. Emily Johnston visits WIRED to break down each and every way Mt. Everest can prove fatal.

@Sp00nie 7 місяців тому

I have zero desire to ever summit this mountain, or anything close to it. I’m content to live my life without needing to ‘bag that peak’. That said, as someone that NEVER cared about mountaineering in any capacity that now is working through 14ers, I can understand why some people are so drawn to it. There’s something about standing on the top of a mountain and looking out at the vastness. There’s a beauty that cannot be captured in a photo, can’t be described adequately, and cannot be experienced anywhere else. It’s beyond cliché, but the mountains really do beckon. There’s also nothing in the world like the accomplishment one feels when you do successfully summit.

@SOOKIE42069 7 місяців тому

Honestly climbing Everest should be restricted to people who have done multiple other challenging summits first. Right now it's basically a tourist attraction where a bunch of rich people underpay local people to carry all their stuff, lead them, test all the crossings and paths first, cook their food, pitch their camp, etc. Exploited sherpas are die way too often essentially carrying tourists up the mountain like greek gods. You shouldn't get the privilege of climbing it or K2 until you've proven yourself as a solo mountaineer.

@williambreazeale6709 7 місяців тому

@ninedaysjane2466 7 місяців тому

I agree. It used to be an honor for a climber to be invited on an Everest expedition. They had to prove themselves first. K2, the "Savage Mountain," will never be as commercialized as Everest. It's simply too hard for a rich amateur. They'd certainly never make it up Annapurna.

Thank 👏 you. It’s one thing to put yourself in a risky environment. But, If someone can’t climb a mountain without exploiting and putting another human being in direct risk they should not being doing it. Period. It’s never that important.

When I was a kid, I went through a phase where I was really into Mount Everest, and I started reading tons of books about it. I read the “Everest” trilogy by Gordon Korman, in which a group of kids(!) attempt to make the summit. The main kid gets high-altitude pulmonary edema, and one of the kids sits down and never gets back up. It was very graphic and scary but also educational. Now I’m very content with never attempting that climb 😅 I’m much more of a hiker than a climber anyway.

The fact people know that people have died trying it and still decide to go is crazy. Also passing the bodies of people who just got stuck on the trail. Mind blowing if you think about it.

I've...and that 33/4 deaths happen on the way down only heard that the summit itself is the size of a dinner table

I have been to base camp and it was an experience of a lifetime. I couldn’t attempt summiting Everest as I didn’t have the required funds (it’s extremely costly!), plus I understood what it was like scaling the highest peak, and I wasn’t even close to be ready. If I decide to try it someday, I will be making myself worthy by scaling some 6k-7k peaks before.

3:42-they say “of particular concern is high altitude pulmonary edema which causes brain swelling. This was a mis-speak for sure. She’s talking about high altitude cerebral edema not pulmonary edema. Just something I picked up on. Love the video though!
