I feel like this is your way of saying you want to become one of the mountain bodies. I mean, technically, you wouldn't be climbing the mountain, you'd only be climbing half. And it wouldn't be before you die, it would be when you die.
and trash
Me a serial killer at 3am where I hid all the bodies at Mount Everest: O__O

Before attempting to climb the summit of Everest, hydrate yourself with a 2 litre of Mountain Don't
I read a story years ago (readers digest?) About a guy injured on Everest lying on the trail begging for help. He said many passed him including a group who claimed they didnt speak English. Someone finally helped him down and later he was drinking at the lodge and saw that group. They were drinking and talking loud. In perfect English.
That’s just cruel I’d help the dude out
@@thebozo26 easier said then done.
@@thebozo26people train their whole lives to make this climb. Most only get one attempt. It's believed that is the main reason people refuse to help. At least this guy believes that
@@elizabethgoolsby9380 most people do it cause there rich and want to do it cause they have enougth money not cause there trained
@@thebozo26 as we've seen, on Everest if you try to help someone in the death zone who can't operate their own faculties you end up with two deaths. That's why they passed him up.
Ohhh I get it now, mount everest... Mount EVER-REST. It's in the name.
Well it’s more like eve-rest
So I guess don’t go on New Years eve
Not spelt with 2 r’s mate
Should be called Mount Graveyard or Mount Death.
It was spelled correctly. "Ever-rest" was just a pronunciation..
I've seen pictures of the bodies left on Everest, still dressed in their climbing gear and boots. It kinda looks like their sleeping. Little creepy
And they are just slumped over its really disturbing
Some of them are still sitting up-right.
@@VCthaGOATdunker what's wilder is that thousands and thousands of years from now the current society of that time will examine them like we do Egyptian mummies
Remember, every single body on Everest was once a highly motivated person…
That's the absolute best way to look at it
I am incredibly comfortable in my warm memory foam bed with 2 weighted blankets right now, it’s my favorite place in the world
So ?
so??
@@Evaisgalaxy Finnaly my philosophy on life is being recognized. Thanks.
George Mallory's body was preserved for 75 years when he was discovered in 1999
The thing is that the body never decomposes 😐
Just imagine on Everest wearing a wool sweater.
@@btqy big mistake huh
He was actually given a semi-proper burial. The expedition that discovered his remains even read from the book of psalms over him. Now we just need to find Sandy Irving. After sever previous expeditions proved he didn't wonder off after Mallory's fall it is now more than likely he rests near to his climbing partner in the Mallory Basin. More important he may still have the camera on his person.
It’s possible Irvine is in a more remote location or buried by snow
Yes! I was waiting for a video talking about the 100's of bodies and what happens on Everest.
Ask a Mortician did a video on everest
@@willasyn3136 no I mean like a organized video about the bodies. I read a book called peak a few years ago. I learned about the bodies and had to wait some years for this to come out.
@@Wordingsfries ohhh, ok! Still her video is interesting
I would like you to inform you about the current crisis in Nepal , The covid positivity rate in Nepal is around 40% and people are dying due to lack of hospital beds and medicines. Every 10 minutes or so an ambulance passes by my house , please I request all our allies and friendly countries to help 🙏🙏
@@user-qi3lv5og4v uh No
As much as I am in love with this mountain, I could agree with closing it down to tourists. It's going to get dirtier and more people will die, but who will stop humans from doing whatever they want at whatever consequence.
Survival of the fittest at the end of the day.
@@PatrickFitzerton survival depends even more on luck with conditions on the mountain than just being prepared or fit. And without all of that gear not a single “fit” person would make it.
I checked into climbing Mt. Everest about 20 years ago and back then it cost $67K. You also have to complete an application and you have to verify that you have at least five years of climbing experience and it said that making the summit of Mt. McKinley was a prerequisite. The form also said they recommended that you have climbed and summited on one of the European mountains such as the Matterhorn or Mt. Blanc. Once I saw 67K that was enough for me to forget about it once and for all.
That depends on what expedition company you sign up with. Some of them will take completely inexperienced climbers.
@@valerierodger Yea and also celebrities with no climbing experience. If you are famous you kind of get a pass.
@@ShelbyFarrownot exactly the sherpas don’t care about fame it’s simply about getting these ppl that have already paid you so much to the top and back down alive
Most fascinating to me is American Francys Arsentiev called Sleeping Beauty who reached the summit without bottled oxygen but died on her way down, possibly getting sick and plummeted. Eerily two climbers saw her laying flat on her back, body spasm and possibly alive unfortunately rescuing her would not be possible. When they approached her face was frostbitten, her skin frozen hard, pearl white, describing her look like Sleeping Beauty. The weather turned dangerous for the climbers to help her. Years later haunted by her death, the climbers went back to find her still laying on her back. This time the climbers wrapped her in an American flag and moved her from view.
They should leave all the bodies there to show as a warning what can happen if you are off your game, even for a split second. Here's some advice, if you are concerned about your well-being and your loved ones getting closure, don't climb that mountain in the first place.
Like moths to flames or cigarette warnings on the box people would still be foolish enough to go
Bodies are always there. Impossible to carry them down.
@@karima_MK they get to remove some of the bodies thought
What would that do? They literally walk past the frozen dead, can barely breathe and still try to summit the mountain. You think a warning is gonna make a big difference when they've already spent the time and money on their ego quest?
I’ve never understood this “body thing”. After death the body is a shell…no one lives there anymore. Everyone who climbs Everest should contract that if they die they will be disposed on the mountain, respectfully. Bringing down bodies in precarious terrain is extremely difficult. There should be no body recovery because of the danger of bringing them down.
Back in 1989, I studied abroad and went to Mt. Snowdon in Wales. We were only allowed 5/8 the of the way up due to high winds. The winds were so strong I had to put on my sunglasses and cover my face with a scarf because it felt like the wind was going to lift my contact lenses right out of my eyes. I can't even imagine what Mt. Everest is like. I have no worries about ever being found on that mountain because if I ever see it, it will be from the ground or as a spirit in the afterlife.
The mountain is named after Sir Gorge Everest, the first person to survey the mountain
@@fourthnebula9195 nah its named after the double glazing dude

Should do a next topic like: What if all the ice on mount Everest melted
it's simple, the mountain's summit altitude will decrease, the trash and bodies will be exposed, and it will look like a blunt pointed rock...
ooof
Nothing there
Won't happen. 29000 feet is crazing altitude in an airplane. Some parts may melt but a good chunk of the mountain will be a frozen rock.
I mean we might find sandy Irvine if that happens
"This is robbery..." Yeah... maybe you will consider to clean up your f*cking mess... With all the gear they bring among them...is it so hard to take a trash bag with you?
Literally they can't!! The O2 level is so low and it's well below zero (f) which means your body doesn't function properly and your muscles barely work. You're not even comprehending the magnitude of the harsh conditions at that elevation and the difficulty of what seems like a simple task. Sometimes the very decision on leaving a bag of trash behind amounts to life or death - for real. That's why all that trash is there - no joke. It's 10000x more difficult than simply moving a regular bag of trash elsewhere on Earth. And how can someone who can barely manage their own equipment supposed to carry 40 or 50 pounds of somebody else's gear to remove it from the mountain after they themselves died trying in the first place? This isn't about folks being "litterbugs" or careless - do you understand that?! If it were that simple they'd send a crew up there to clean it up in a weekend . If it were that simple there wouldn't be all those bodies left lying there for decades. SMH. The more you know...
Yeah it actually is that hard at that altitude.
@@LittleBlueOwl318 seems easy to climb it for a Canadian
No. They bodies cannot be bought back. It is very difficult
@@brahmosinop4933 not for a Canadian
I just saw a video about K2 and how it's much cheaper for a climbing permit to summit and the Sherpas are also cheaper to hire. It was really sad to see how such a previously pristine environment is becoming a garbage dump because people bring supplies up the mountain but don't bring their garbage down
I heard K2 was much more harder to climb then everest...
K2 is much much harder to climb.
Everest is the tallest to conquer so many people dosent care to climb k2
K2 is deadlier & harder to climb...
Massively increase fees for permits to climb the mountain, and require insurance to pay for your body's recovery if you die.
Reminds me of how I felt about raves in small towns like Paradiso. People go there, overdose, rack up a ton of medical bills and the people of the town are the ones left with the debt. They either need to be charged more to cover the inevitable hospital fees or have proof of insurance before getting tickets or armbands or whatever.
Or just limit the amount of permits given out.
And deny permits to those with little to no climbing experience. Only experienced climbers should be given a shot at Everest.
Gotta love it when you guys upload
I remember seeing a short video showing some of the bodies on everest. Pretty sad a lot of them were in the same position they were when they fell
It's pretty strange isn't it. I think I probably saw the same video. I remember Green boots creeping me out at the time
Well, yeah. How would their position change?
@@dylanfortier3982 yea definitely strange. Crazy how green boots isn't even in the same spot no more
@@qubonic Green boots was actually fully recovered after he moved, so yea
Slight correction, green boots wasn’t fully recovered just relocated, I’m guessing the family wanted him to stay up there but they needed to move the body.
I believe that "green boots" and a few other bodies have been removed from the mountain since
Yeah, I think so, too.
It has yea
The Chinese expedition removed Tsewang from the route in 2014
Removed by Nature. A little blow of wind to an unfrozen body is enough to send it into the void.
@@Abhishek-150 unfrozen? Please explain how the body would thaw at 20,000+ feet or higher
Love the animation! Great job as usual
Love the Goosebumps feel on the thumbnail
Also up there, even when in a group: when someone who is not able to descend anymore, others cannot be expected to help. Everyone up there operates on almost zero extra capacity apart from getting down themselves. Noone will just wait with the incapacitated one.
So that’s why its called “Everest,” they *Rest* for *ever*
*Nepal has entered the chat*

The green boot was from my place unfortunately he died along with two other counterpart on 1996 disaster.

Sorry for ur loss
I’m really sorry man
I heard Chinese climbers took him off the mountain
@@cerberusleviath4575 yes! Bit down from the original side but again spotted after few years.
The part about thawing reminded me of a WWII battle In the Italian alps, where nowadays relics from that time and even bones are found in the valley below due to the softer weather.

This was excellent, very informative. Thank you
*Well, Mt. Everest already has the body of a mountain!*
Lol
Well i guess some of those bodies climg the peak of mt. Everest to get to heaven.
Meh
*** mountain of bodies
T H I C C
You should talk about K2 and compare it to Everest
I am not audacious enough to climb Mountain Everest but I would love to visit the base camp once and see the Mount Everest from there.
You've got to shake your head at what some people would do for fun even if there's a high probability of death.
Mt. Everest turned out to be one of infographic's serial killer videos. Never really though about the bodies on there. Informative as usual.
Dozens trying to reach a milestone and instead became one
The main reasons for people dying while climbing Mount Everest are injuries and exhaustion. However, there is also a large proportion of climbers who die from altitude related illness, specifically from high altitude cerebral oedema (HACE) and high altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE).
Not so.The main reason for people dieing on mount Everest is they began climbing it.
Thanks for the content I live off it please don’t stop dropping videos an updating us please
I remember when as a child, my grandmother took me up Pike's Peak in a sort of train. The lack of oxygen made me temporarily pass out. When I woke again, the couple sitting across from me were staring at me strangely.
The news is saying Everest is getting ready to be hit with a cyclone, and has ordered everyone down to base camp.. Unfortunately, a Sherpa fell to his death in a crevice.. I hope they all make it down to base camp safety..
Whats a cyclone??
@@julianfigueroa9525 it's a large air mass similar to a hurricane, but on Mt Everest, it can produce large amounts of snow fall..
And everyone has covid up there. Bad year to let people climb
Awesome 👍 video 👏... Thank you 😊... Be safe everyone 😉...
In my opinion, hiking to base camp just to see the mountain and then leaving is far more impressive and respectable than the summit. Base camp shows a level of self awareness and self control. Only people with large egos and lack of respect wanna rush up to the summit for bragging rights.
Nothing to brag about when everyone knows how much garbage you left behind & had Sherpas carry for you in the first place ..
“Corpses on Mount Everest” As an SCP fan, I am scared. 😬
Same I clicked on this video instantly thinking it was an SCP video
Yep. I saw the title and thought "ask the Foundation."
U forgot rob hall who was caught to death in 1996 Everest disaster... He was such a great person respect
Dude, Thank you for your efforts to make this video.....
They should leave the bodies so people look at the bodies , turn around, and come down instead of continuing upwards
I don’t even think these people care about the bodies. They’re so driven by a sense of ego and want bragging rights so badly that they’re willing to overlook this. They know about the bodies before that summit. They know about the trash accumulating, yet they still go.
Yeah, i was litteraly searching this question a few days ago! Havent even watched it yet but thanks
lol, same here, i was like how many bodies are up their
I tried to climb Mount Everest in 2002 with two other people we were lucky to make it halfway
Is that why your name is Half And Half?
@@mierbeuker8148 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes yes yes!!!!!!!!! Finally this video on this subject here!!
I know that I could never summit Everest. However I would really like to visit base camp And look up at the peak and experience a spiritual moment of sublime nature.
spiritual moment? 😅
@@user-et6cr6qd8v yes Mount Everest is highly spiritual. I mean just look at it
Wow. This is a lot differnt than the movies.
The sad thing is I doubt that anyone's body would be recovered. Even if you were to send a robot up to grab a corpse it would probably be a suicide mission as well. For instance, batteries tend to have a tough time with cold. Anyone who's tried to start up their car in the winter only to hear some rapid clicking can attest to this. Although it would be quite an interesting engineering challenge to create a machine that can survive up there. Someone might even get a government grant to do so since there's a need to recover corpses. Plus there are probably areas of Everest that are to dangerous to explore with a human team.
That mountain a looming haunting mounument
“that means some bodies are wedged deep in a hidden location, impossible to see; except for the next person who meets that unfortunate fate” heavy
How come you guys haven't made a podcast? Just put the audio of the videos in a podcast. Very interested audio with great narrators
Everest is so hard to climb that sherpas risk their lifes to lead hundreds of tourists per month to its peak
5:44 poor Lil dicky. Gone but not forgotten. Rest in Peace
Where I live we had an issue with trash in the forest. So we organised a boy scout troupe to clean it up and they got a badge for it. If you organised some boy scouts to clean up Everest and gave them a badge. Say, one badge for sorting the litter and another for sorting the bodies. I'd say youd have some takers!
Random thing I did: I did some math to find out how many average sized baguettes you need to reach Mount Everest's summit. An average baguette is 60cm (according to Google) and Mount Everest is 8 849m which is 884 900cm . So, you simply divide 884 900 by 60 which equals to 14 748. Then, 14 748 times 60 which is 884 880. You'll need 20cm more to get to 884 900 so that means 1/3 of a 60cm baguette. Conclusion, you need 14 748 baguettes (60cm) and 1/3 of a baguette (60cm) to reach Mount Everest's summit. (I'm not the best at math so correct if I'm wrong, which I don't think I am but you never know.)
Everest summit is at 8,849 meters of altitude - above sea level; but the Advanced Base Camp in the glacier bellow is at 6,340m, where climbers reach walking, so for reach the summit is need climb only 2,509 meters. The biggest climb from base to summit is in Denali in Alaska, 5.500 meters. And Earth point more close to stars is the summit of Mount Chimborazo in Equator, due the Equatorial bulge, created the the oblat format of the planet.
Not the hero we’d even think we’d want but the hero we need
Use the bodies to create stairs lower down on the mountain. That would make people think, before they even get to the danger zone.
2:03 Not the photo buckled into the casket 😂
I’ve never understood how people continue to risk laying in a frozen grave, just for a rush
This reminds me of a meme..."every body on Mt everest was once an incredibly motivated individual..."
My uncle worked with the State Department in Nepal and one of his duties was assisting in the removal of bodies. They had a certain "air" about them!!!
You mean they were with a hallow around??
This is just a hard. No for me I’d be too worried about falling or just freezing my limbs off, May God have them in his kingdom prayers to the families 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I always wondered about this
Every corpse on Mount Everest was once a highly motivated, driven individual.
It's kinda sad that I have a blood flow disorder and would most likely lose fingers/toes or arms/feet. If I even lived lol. I'm not too torn up about it as I've been on other cool hikes.
0:06 the animation is getting better
I've actually been thinking about this.
May them all rest in peace. I wonder what happened to the rescue crew who went down with the helicopter. (Are they still up in the mountain as well..?) 😱
I doubt it Helicopters have fuel, which usually causes explosions Edit: The it means getting the bodies out
These ego-happy bozos who failing in the pointless effort to climb mountains just to say the climbed a mountain often end up killing innocent rescuers, and that proves that they are nothing but a bunch of empty suits.
Please also put Celsius in your videos as every country on the planet besides the US uses Celsius as opposed to Fahrenheit. When you use the fahrenheit scale your viewers outside of the US might as well be looking into a field full of thistles for all the information it conveys. Thank you.
Just take fahrenheit and subtract 50, it's not that hard. You're welcome
@@FemaleAnimeMaster Or the United States could join the 7.5 billion other people on the planet who use the less antiquated and much easier to understand metric system of weights and measures. Just a thought..........

Imagine being known as a sign post on a mountain? And not because of who you are, but because of the colour of your boots. What a legacy.
MADE IT!!!! Dang it. Now I gotta make it back down.
Green Boots isn't in his cave anymore, he was moved in 2014.
With drone technology advancing as it has, they could start to replace helicopters with drones large enough to carry a body down to base camp. This would significantly lower the cost and risk. They could also use these for the trash clean up effort. Have drones airlift heavy bags of gathered debris down the mountain instead of carrying it manually.
The air is far too thin at that altitude to get any kind of lift. Read the issues encountered getting beck weathers down the mountain.
Ah yes, drones large enough to carry humans. Also known as “helicopters”
@@woomeebly i was about to say that myself the air is to thin for a drone to fly it's self up that far never mind move a body
No. They shouldn't make everest "safer". It's been doing great as a small scale Darwinian filter.
@@Lagmire lol
the solution to saving lives on Mt Everest and K2 has been available for many years. a series of zip lines down the mountain. each climber has a harness that can be attached to the zip line. and if a climber collapses in an awkward spot some distance from the nearest zip line you simply run a line from the climber to the nearest zip line pole and winch (drag) the climber over to the pole then hook the climber onto the zip line and send the climber down. sure, constructing the zip lines would be a big job but not impossible. the heavy stuff like steel lines and poles and drills, etc can be winched up the mountain. the only real drawback is that some people might think it all 'unsightly' and remove some of the danger from climbing which can be part of the allure, but it's either that or continue to watch people die
thanks bro i needed this for my experiment of toads and broads
You already told us in a previous episode. They leave them there. So they're most likely covered in snow, decomposed, or taken off
