I made an attempt on Everest but turned back before I made it out of the living room chair. It saved my life.
Yeah, I just made the same attempt but the microwave beeped so I had to call it a day. Lol
I was much more sensible than you both. I was mentally preparing for an assault on the great mountain, but wisely, I chose to stay in bed. I did turn the air conditioner off. I know that mountaineers across the world would praise my responsible actions.
@@jimreily7538 Live to climb another day...smart.
glad you are safe man
I climbed Mount Everest butt naked without equipment or supplemental oxygen and I used my baby maker as a pick axe. Every time I thrusted it into the mountain I said "Take It All", "Whose Your Daddy", & "Your My Biznitch". That ladies and gentlemen is how a real man climbs a mountain.
Hard to believe Scott Fischer and Rob Hall have been gone for nearly 25 years. RIP
Means they aren't killing anyone else.
Dam no kidding ! I remember this accident very well.
@@davidrodenborn5905 they made mistakes. Costly mistakes. But that’s 25 years ago. Some of those mistakes wouldn’t be made today. That progress.
They would be middle aged seniors today
@@lenac3587 don't guide total squids on mountains and you will live alot longer.
What's so heavy to me, is that it doesn't matter how good a climber is, or how experienced they are, when nature flares up anyone can lose their lives here. RIP
Yeah it’s almost like humans aren’t meant to climb to such elevations…
He was a bad ass dude he saved a lot of people and led a lot of teams to bring people down. He was 1 of 2 first Americans to climb lhotse, summited K2. And we was on Everest leading an expedition to clean trash that has been left behind. And the saddest thing a quote from Scott was “making a bad decision and dying in the mountains, to be perfectly honest. Not coming home from a trip, leaving my kids without a dad. That scares me.” And then he kicked the bucket on the mountain that in the scheme of things compared to what he’s done in the past wasn’t as difficult as Everest but sometimes Mother Nature has other plans

@@mithrandirthegrey7644 Yep!
Anatolyi Bukreev is a real hero. R. I. P.
Absolutely agree. Very very brave and determined man. I wish he were still alive today. R.I.P.
And yet if he hadn't gone up without oxygen and abandoned the clients he was there to protect, they might not have needed rescuing.
@@miriammoriarty8588 Você poderia nos explicar como uma pessoa, que por subir sem oxigênio só poderia permanecer no cume por apenas 30 minutos, lá permaneceu por 90 minutos, esperando pessoas muito atrasadas. Por favor, explique isso... É difícil? Além disso poderia nos explicar como se poderia proteger clientes, que se expuseram ao escalar uma montanha sem ter capacidade para tanto.. Como se faz? Eu lhe digo: não deixando escalar... Fato é que Anatoly Boukreev salvou três pessoas: Sandy Pittman, Charlotte Fox e Tim Madsen..Ele foi reconhecido pelo American Alpine Club... Não é por nada, mas entre o "American Alpine Club" e Mírian Moriarty, fico com o "American Alpine Club". Fui claro?
@@miriammoriarty8588 or he might have died with them
@@miriammoriarty8588 This "abandoning" was done on purpose: descend to the camp, check the tents, recover himself, grab oxygen and return to Bukreev's clients. Without it, they would all die. But he saved himself + 3 other clients. Actually, he saved ALL his clients. Those who died were in other team. Learn facts first.
Even though he made a few bad decisions on the night of his death, rob hall was possibly one of the greatest climbers to ever live. He was revered at Everest, and everyone looked up to him for guidance and wisdom. He was a great climber, and an even better man. Rest in peace, legend.

Absolut!!!
Poor Scott, if you hear his voice he sounds like he has a bit of a cold and real tired, he probably felt he had to be there climbing and had to perform, but if not felling good should of rested and made the whole group go another day, but it's easy to be the Monday morning quarterback, RIP Scott
He should have turn back when he realized his team were already coming down as he was reaching the summit or when he took one of his sick client back down the day before.
He was exhausted from climbing up and down from camps to the base camp dropping off one of his ill client a day before the summit ad was busy getting things ready for the summit. Lene said this. Climbing the summit while you are tired. BIG MISTAKE. He should have stayed behind at camp 4 just for an emergency purposes not climbing
He may have been suffering from a parasite he'd been carrying around inside of him for several years. He would get bouts of severe stomach troubles every so often. I don't know why he thought he had to summit Everest in that condition. It isn't like he hadn't done it before!
I have read both Annatoli's and Beck Weather's accounts, and one of them, I forget which, but more likely Annatoli's states that he had a malarial like symptoms that caused him to get symptoms of chills, fevers, and shaking, and this would happen to him about once a week, when in Seattle. The book had mentioned that he had many diagnostic tests done to no avail, and that it was some kind of liver cyst. As someone mentioned below, it was likely some sort of liver parasite. I have to imagine that maybe this cyst was flaring up and that in combination of being overworked the previous year, as was also mentioned in the book I referred to above, he was probably severely dehydrated and weak on the fateful summit day and the days leading up to it. God rest his soul, he seems to have had many wonderful qualities, but his health seemed to have stopped cooperating for him.
It's common to not feel well at times while climbing that high for that long! RIP all who perished on that mountain.
Jason Clarke and Jake Gyllenhaal did an amazing job playing Rob Hall and Scott Fisher.
In what movie ????
@@ericcastorena695 Everest
Rob had too much invested in Doug, he even talked him into carrying on to the summit when Doug had started to turn round to head back down. Rob was definitely not blameless but in my eyes he did the most unselfish thing and that was not leaving Doug when Doug was dying. Anatoli was definitely a hero though he went back out and rescued people that otherwise would have died
Anatoli failed his clients by not using oxygen and then rushing down abandoning the clients to the other guide Neil Beiderman. He's a big part of why they were late coming back down (the other part was the ropes not being fixed as they were meant to be).
@@miriammoriarty8588 How could he fail his clients when all of his clients survived because of his decision, backed up by both Hall and Fischer?
Rob had told him to get down and so did the Sherpa, Doug didn’t listen. I would have left Doug to get back to my family, his wife probably it was selfish to stay with Doug. Doug was already a goner, rob could have lived. But I guess it’s a testament to Robs character
@@TheMadalucard His clients would not have been in that position in the first place if not for Anatoli. He fucked up and redeemed himself but you just can't ignore the part he fucked up.
@@TheMadalucard It was not backed up by Hall and Fischer. Hall had nothing to do with it. Fischer explicitly told him overheard by several people to stay with the clients. He did not do that. He climbed to the summit and descended without them. When they got in trouble he was not there for them.
If one reads The Climb by Anatoly a lot of things become clear. On mountains people take decisions based on prevailing situations. U can’t blame anyone. When u go to mountains u sign an unwritten contract with nature...u may never come back! In 2018 when I trekked to EBC I crossed Scot’s memorial and really felt sad for him. RIP all those died and huge respects to Sherpas 🙏🏻
That book is known for several falsehoods.
@@TDL-xg5nn signing an unwritten contract with nature is not one of those falsehoods though.
Those fuckers whom didn't fasten the ropes, and didn't place O2? Also forgot to mention IT,?
@@TDL-xg5nn You confused it with Krakauer's book.
@@secundus6457 More Russian fanboys who are butthurt
The conflict of interest is blatantly clear. They have paid a fortune to get up to the top yet you have to tell them to return before a certain time. If you want to stretch the limits you expose yourself to a deadly risk. You can be the fittest and most experienced mointaineer but the mountain will show no mercy.
Yup, not to mention, if you as the guide are not feeling well, yet your clients are set on going on a particular day, how are you going to not go? Can you tell them “hey let’s not go today because I’m a little tired” when there may not be another opportunity because of mountain traffic/weather/etc?
@@auralplex You have to prepare them for this before you a copy their money
What some of you don't seem to understand is that these guides and their respective businesses are in competition with each other. As a leader, you must perform. Scott probably felt some pressure to summit Everest, as the leader of his squad. In the movie it was mentioned that Rob's company didn't get any/enough people to the summit the previous season, so the pressure was on. These guys make a living from this, it's not just for fun and games. They feel a responsibility to get their clients to the top, because that is ultimately what their clients are paying them for. If they get a reputation that they don't get climbers to the summit, then they go broke and can't follow their dream and support their families. The truth of the matter is that shit is always going wrong on Everest. During any climb there are a number of errors, risks, misfortunes, and tragedies. When enough of these elements occur in the right order, lives are lost. These climbers spend years preparing, and then months adapting and training their bodies at the base of Everest, before their final ascent. Even on a good day you are suffering and taking huge risks, so it's easy to say "well don't be greedy, turn around," if you don't understand the circumstances. Life isn't that simple.
u cant earn money if your dead haha, glad they did deserve it.
After a few hours of climbing on summit day, Hansen stepped out of the line saying that he wasn't feeling good. When Hall caught up he had a few words and Hansen got back onto the line. The year before Rob turned Hansen and the group around at the South Summit. Hansen returned after several calls from Hall who gave him a large discount to have another attempt. As it turned out, Hall waited on the summit for a long time for Hansen to appear, who took close to 2 hours to get there from the Hillary Step. It would appear that Hall really wanted Hansen to summit. The year before, once turned back Hansen collapsed and needed a lot of assistance to get back to the South Col. Same thing happened after summitting in 1996; Hansen ran out of oxygen at the top of the Hillary Step and couldn't move. Then the storm hit. People need to keep in mind that at that altitude, even with oxygen climbers are afflicted with hypoxia, affecting thinking ability. Hall could have saved himself but refused to abandon Hansen. It's amazing that he survived the night under those conditions.
It's that kind of stupid notion that gets you killed.
Exactly, it's the relations based on business which killed those people. Hall and Fischer compromised safety for the reputational gains since there is big money being spent by each member of the expedition and not summitting the Everest, especially in the presence of journalists, would not be a good look for their businesses. Bottom line, capitalism kills!
What's weird is Fischer was showing signs of illness early on. I guess making sure his clients climbed and returned meant more to him 🤔🤷
Rip all the people who lost their life on mt. Everest
Yes and no. Some of the climbers who try to climb this mountain are so ill prepared, they are basically putting Sherpas lives at risk. It’s become a freak show.
RIP all the conned rich people who lost their lives too
Who cares. Most were idiots who selfishly left family and loved ones behind to mourn. Stupid morons who think they can get down and tell stories for the rest of their lives. Ever wonder why the Sherpa's never die on the mountain....its because they know how to climb.
@@pigskin1000 If only you knew how many Sherpas have died up there..
@@pigskin1000 over 100 sherpa's died
I don't know if I am the only one but who hated the representation of Scott Fischer in the 2015 film Everest. Scott was played by Jake Gyllenhall who looked nothing like him and ink the dramatisation he was set as more of a laidback drinker of the climbing world against Rob Hall in the movie (who was portrayed as the only hero when there were more than one). Also respects were paid to Rob Hall at the end of the film but none to Scott Fisher?? He did not get to say goodbye to his wife and two children and died making sure others got to safety. People who just watch the movie will think he is like that when (even though I have never met him) it is obvious he is not. As far as I know from research, Scott was a decent man who did not lose any members of his expedition except for himself as he put clients welfare before the reputation of his company (if anything Beck Weathers numerous stories show the company he was with cared about themselves and left him for dead). Lastly Yasuko Namba deserved a larger part in the film at least so people who watch the film who don't research about Everest could learn how amazing she was, 7 Summits!!
You should read Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air and Anatoli Boukreev's The Climb, I just finished them and can say that Scott was a bit reckless with his summit push and his need to make sure that Sandy Pitmann make it to the summit by asking Lopsang Sherpa to thether her compounded to severe calamity. Nonetheless, he was a great alpinist who took care of his clients may he rest in peace.
I like Jake Gyllenhaal, but agree he was miscast in this film. Should have been somebody like Chris Hemsworth, Garrett Hedlund, or even Ryan Gosling. The movie was a disappointment overall. The 1997 TV movie "Into Thin Air: Death on Everest" was better.
@Paddy le Blanc The 2015 Everest filmmaker stated clearly that they didn't use Krakauer as a source. JK had extensive mountaineering experience but never claimed to be a high altitude climber. He was one of the group who summited Everest quickly and made it back to shelter on his own, not needing extra help from guides who were desperately needed to assist others. He was there as a journalist and published author, working for Outside magazine. The book was very successful and he donated royalties to help injured or deceased climbers at Everest and in Colorado. Hall and Fischer made plenty of mistakes, likely from functioning as business owners instead of as elite mountaineers. Those mistakes compounded into a sad catastrophe. RIP.
So sad that such fine people -- Scott Fischer and Rob Hall, both -- should have come to their end in their prime, with so much to live for and with loved ones missing them terribly.
How about the sherpas that died
@@jerrivera4038 I'm not sure any Sherpas died as a result of these decisions, Ngawang Topche died in hospital after coming down with HAPE or HACE and died sometime after. But I'm not sure any Sherpas died in this particular situation.
@@lukas_jay243 I'm saying in general
@@jerrivera4038 Apologies, yes its incredibly troubling the numbers. There is a good book you can find about the Sherpas overlooked numbers. K2 has it's stories of Sherpa tragedies as well.
Jeremy Rivers What a stupid question, this here is about this specific event. Another hypocrite keyboard moralist that pretends to be a martyr in his ivory tower.
The person narrating in Swedish is Göran Kropp a famous mountainer that summit Everest, K2 and other 8000+ he dided in a climbing accident outside Seattle in 2002
Even if I was an experienced mountañist, I would never EVER dare to go up there. Everest is a huge particular beast and not just because is the biggest.
I think if Rob Hall had stuck to his guns then he would have survived that day. Too many bad decisions by many people but I would imagine the death zone had an effect on their decision making abilities.
I think both Rob and Scott had a bit of dollar signs in their eyes, they wanted to have as many succesfull clients as possible to run a good future business, and that had a lot of effect on their decision making ablities also. The remark: 'to support my lifestyle' says enough to me.
True. Money was the deciding factor. They commercialised the mountain to make money and both paid the ultimate price.
sa Wilkins .... it was also for the love of that mountain. supply and demand ..... there are many people who set up businesses that fall around their own hobbies and ensures they can do what they love and there's nothing wrong with that. everest is a monster and still to this day takes lives people that climb it know the risks. I don't think they were greedy they just found a way to mix business and pleasure. their greed was their passion for what they did. ironically the more lives everest takes the more people that book up and want to climb.
He was a good guy he wanted to help others
today there is about 5x the number of people on summitdays
Rest in Peace to all the legendary climbers who passed that day. Their strength and courage is admirable and has inspired decades of young mountaineers.
How exactly does risking your families livelihoods and breaking their hearts because you spent a fortune doing something that could easily cost your life to achieve something brag about, make you strong and courageous exactly?
Strength and courage. More like stupidity
nope
@@just4justincase to reach the top of the earth must be an incredible feeling. Sorry your life is so boring
@@just4justincase exactly. They are no hero. They could have done something good for others in life, work for charity, be there for their families etc... instead of being selfish and bringing great sadness to their family and friends
I am an armchair viewer but if I ever thought of doing this, and I won't, I would go alone with no family or friends because if something happens I would have to choose between them and me, not a good place to be when you have little oxygen or strength. I would do what I could to help my Co climbers if need be but if I had to leave them, it wouldn't be as hard as a a family member. Rob was doing what he loved but wasn't thinking of his daughter to be and Beck was blessed to get a 2nd chance and he did the right thing and puts his family 1st now.
when the movie first came out about them, i assumed it was going to be boring and never thought much about 'Everest. Since finally watching it i was gripped watching and felt such emotion and loved the soundtrack, i have become obsessed with Everest now looking up everything about it and the deaths and the successes, the movie was incredibly sad as you got to know them and thus can relate to the real life people and so many have died up there since the 96 tragedy, most deaths seem to be from descending due to exhaustion, confusion from altitude sickness which seems very scary to experience or from avalanches or as in 96 storms. I understand why people go there though, if i was healthy and if id taken up climbing instead of sailing i think id of wanted to give it a go when i was younger than now at aged 45
The oldest Person to summit was a 80 year old man
I came across the movie by accident and I've watched it countless times. The story is fascinating and sad.
The movie's ending makes me cry 😭
Mee, too 😢 I was also obsessed for Mount Everest after the „Everest“ Movie and I have read also the book of Boukreev and Krakauer - many things become much clearer after reading the books, especially the light discussion about the Journalist and why Fisher was so exhausted and ill….
Scott, you are still very much missed and thought about. RIP brother.
It's been 25 years since it happened, but I'm still greatly affected by this tragedy. I'm not a climber nor did I have any connection to anyone involved, but about once a year I come back and re-read 'The Climb' (Anatoli Boukreev), 'Into Thin Air' (Jon Krakauer) & K2 (Ed Viesturs). I'm mostly sad but also pissed off at this chain for bad decisions coupled by extreme weather that brought on these deaths. For some reason I'm mostly pissed off with Rob Hall. He should have been with his wife and daughter all these years, being there for his daughter as she grows, sharing a life with his wife, loving her.. (writing this with tears in my eyes). Why did he choose to still head up with Doug so late in the day??! I have a feeling that had he went down instead, everyone would have been saved - Doug, Andy, Yasuko. He was probably even strong enough to take Scott down with him... Heart wrenching. RIP all you souls.
Very sad indeed 😢 Terrible decisions made by Fischer and Hall not to turn around much earlier.. Money 💰 Talks Bullshit 💩 Walks
I remember reading this years ago. I remember how late in the day Doug and Rob his guide started. I think Doug knew it was a one way trip.
Regarding his decision to climb mountains instead of spending more time with his family: this is his sense of purpose and he chased it. If it was his life's goal, but instead gave it up, he would have lived an unfulfilled life, made his spirit unhappy and this would have worked its way through to his interactions with his family. These are indeed hard decisions, for sure. I think it is safe to say that we can rest assure that he died living his life the way he wanted to. Rest in peace to him and love to his family and friends
I d wish that Everest and other big summits were left alone. Humans have destroyed its purity. Tonns of Rubbish, feces, corpses! The worst in humans shows up there every season.
@@jacques42 I was not questioning the man's desire to follow his true calling, but in fact expressing regret that in the past 25 years Rob has not been there spending his life with his family. I find this notion heartbreaking.
So much respect for these gentlemen. Rest in Glory kings ❤ 🕊️
High honor and praise to Scott Fisher. That's a name i'll remember from this point on. R.I.P. Sir 🕊
Thank you for this Great Video!!!
R.I.P yasuko namba. good job on completing the seven summits. They should have talked about her WAY more in the movie. she had 12 lines....TWELVE! god rest the only one that was still alive, but left to die.
sarah s It's every man for himself up there when death is knocking on your door. Waiting for others will cost you your life as well.
No one can carry anyone at that altitude; Beck was also left to die and walked out of it
Beidleman DID carry /drag Namba some way but hadn't strength to pick her up when she lost grip, very sad but he was a real hero. Namba & Beck were both still alive next day but no-one had energy to help, Beck was left 3x?! it's incredible he managed to stagger up & survive. Namba had less ability to fight hypothermia being far smaller & thinner.
If i have understand a little, i think bakareev saved the expeditionist of his expedition only. Crazy crazy saves, that i think bukareev did couse he was a guide of a group. In his group in fact only a guide die. I dont think that was a case
Yasuko Namba did not complete 7 summits, unfortunately she is still at 6.....you don't claim a summit unless you get back down....
I thought he looked alert and quite healthy. Got the impression he loved what he was doing as he talked proudly about his company. To know he gave that interview only a couple of days before his death is so sad. To see a person so alive and enjoying his life and then to read how they died. Reading about what happened to all those people shakes you to the core, how dying ones had to be left behind to save ones own life is very hard to digest. I think Thin Air is the most harrowing book I have ever read.
I've I also read Boukreev's book - it is much more realistic.
From my point of view it´s not understandable why such expierenced mountaineers didn´t obey the most essential rules everyone knows who has climbed Everest. If time has run out you have to leave, no matter if you have reached the summit or not!
Climbing Everest is now just a business. With death being a real possibility. This type of business is also turning Everest into a garbage heap with tons of debris being left behind and no effort to clean it up. One of the basic premises of even the simplest hiking is “haul it in, haul it out”. Shameful what this has become.
I'm not worrying about debris, I'm worrying about the climbers taking a sh!t everywhere and not scooping it up. Pretty soon everywhere u step is human feces.
R.I.P Rob Hall, Scott Fisher, Yasuko namba and Andy Harris. Mercy for the loss, Hope for the survivors.
Ellie Day Doug Hansen, and three others died.
Doug Hansen, three Indians too.
Eight people died during the Mount Everest disaster that unfolded May 10-11, 1996. The fatalities included Scott Fischer, Rob Hall, Andy Harris, Doug Hansen, Yasuko Namba, Tsewang Samanla, Dorje Morup, and Tsewang Paljor.
Hearing his voice really makes me miss the fantastic Swede Göran Kropp!
is a real shame that Rob and Scott died for commercial issues .. we will never understand WHY knowing as experimented climbers, that summit was run out of scheduled safe time, they did not decide to turn back. So SAD
Scott was dedicated and and put his life on the line for his clients all class rip Scott. Your a legend. God bless you....
thats very nice,
Cosimo Agostino For $65,000 he sure did!
He let his clients down in the worst way.
you sure did too, probably never done anything serious in your life, how would you know? watch the movie and see for yourself
You're a sheep
For all of you who wonder who the man that Is speaking Is it’s Göran kropp. He was a Swedish mountain climber who packed his own stuff and biked to Nepal, climbed Mount Everest (with no oxygen mask and didn’t use any sherpas), biked back to Sweden and only ate the food he packed.
Rob Hall perished on that same expedition. I believe he was trying to help an incapacitated climber somewhere around the balcony. Either way, there is something that instills a great deal of despair whenever I stumble across ill fated climbers on Everest. Really really sad man. 😪
Rob Hall declared the turn around time at 2 pm which he himself was severely late to. Its impossible to point fingers at whos to blame, mother nature or human error however it was also the presence of Jon Krakauer and Sandy Pitmann, two writers who were documenting every turn of events. Rob was also pinned with a previous year of unsuccessful attempt. May they all rest in peace.
Yeah many things came together that day, it was about ego, money, pr and competition between two companies. Fischer was struck by a light infection and had guided a sick client down to base camp the day before. Exhausted from the ascent, he wasnt fit enough for summit push but he did try nonetheless. Hall was already on the descent and then made a fatal mistake when turning around and going back up with straggler Doug Hansen, who was already weak in camp 4 and should have descended. They ended up being at the top WAY too late, past 5 pm in the afternoon.
Rest in peace Scott.
What about Rob Hall?
@@travelguyable not rest in piece , rest in peaces :D

You did your job and did it well, Scott Fischer. All of your clients got to the summit and made it down alive. Well done, sir. RIP

This video simultaneously makes me sad and happy. RIP ALL WHO PARISHED
I'm not a climber, but I've been a guide for hikers, canoers/kayakers, and divers. One rule for leading a group is to first ensure that all of your participants are physically up to the challenge; One weak link can jeopardize the whole group. The leader is responsible for the ability level of his group. When diving, I most enjoyed diving with a scuba club, because the ones I dove with were very very safety conscious. If someone seemed even slightly wreckless, they were politely banned from the club. Safety first! Leaders - know your party. Know their gear or lack thereof. If someone hikes, paddles, or dives with insufficient gear...YOU, as leader should have known in advance. You're responsible for a group (though they share their own individual responsibilities, of course). In this case I see some glaring guide errors.
Thats not true. I want to see a kim jong un expedition where he gets carried to the top by 100 sherpas.
I think one of the biggest issues must have been the lack of oxygen. Of course, their judgment may have been clouded anyway because of concerns for their business and reputation, but lack of oxygen does weird things to the brain and can seriously jepurdise decision making skills. Maybe if Rob wasn't so tired from his own summit, and if he were at full mental capacity, he would have convinced Doug to descend. We'll never know though, we can only speculate.
Speaking of glaring errors, 'dived' is the more correct past form of 'dive' ('dove' is often accepted by Americans and can be found in dictionaries despite being, well, wrong); and reckless doesn't have a W.
@@amandajstar No one I know (in America) says "dived". But I'll stand corrected on reckless. Perhaps a comment on the topic as well?
@@betsybarnicle8016 I assure you, 'dived' is correct. Perhaps no one you know is an expert in English?
These individuals aren't even setting up they own tents .they go up once and act like they did something, sherpas work all threw the night carry all the gear set up tents and make multiple trips 🤔 I'm not the smartest guy but I believe credit is given to the wrong folks !!
RED DOG That's right,they do handle the game but dude,they get paid a huge huge amount for that.And at the end,the expedition members are the ones who climb up to the top and face the bad weathers and all.Plus they spend their whole freakin life's savings.So credit should be for both but the mountaineers shouldn't be deprived of that too.
Yup sherpas are unbelievably good climbers...their bodies are hardly affected by high altitude..but I have to correct you on some things...rob hall climbed Everest 5times and scott climbed K2 without oxygen...these aren't some inexperienced millionaires they were experienced. Back in 1996 the sherpas didnt climb in the night to fix ropes like they do now. Actually it's because of this disaster that they do. In 1996 they all climbed together the sherpas climbing in front maybe an hour ahead to do the ropes. Rob hall could've climbed on his own...most of his prior accents were with Ed? I think that's his name not with the sherpas. The reason the sherpas went with them on this expedition is because they were commercializing Everest...they were bringing a team of inexperienced climbers to the top. Things in the 1990s were nothing like the are today. Since this disaster more inexperienced climbers are climbing....its risking lives..esp the sherpas....they have no respect for everything they do. 20years ago you could climb without a sherpa or guide....now its illegal to climb without a sherpa or guide. The government in Nepal only cares about money. They dont care about safety
Brittanya Hope Milagro Totally right.One point that I've noticed in all of the comments on this video is,that everyone is giving views keeping in mind the situations and conditions of nowadays,of this era,they probably forget or not realise that there were many other unfavourable conditions in the 90's which now have vanished.
If I paid 65000 I would want somebody to set my tent up too
True but the Sherpas do not take all the upward steps for them to reach the summit. Yeah doing everest in Alpine style and without using bottled oxygen would be much more impressive but it's still an impressive achievement. and you would have to be one of the stronger alpinists to do it alpine style. maybe there should be an astrick by their names but it still is not easy
This video is a gem! ❤️🔥 RIP all the brave hearts!
Scott Fischer is a hero and a legend.
0:33-Anatoli Bukreev???
The plan to turn around at a predetermined to was eventually ignored. I think I read it was 2pm at the latest, that would allow time to descend to camp 4 before nightfall. But teams were still climbing up at 3pm. Just crazy to leave it that late and not have a contingency. When Hall and his client were still summiting when they should have turned around...well...easy for me to pass comment with the benefit of hindsight as I haven't climbed under extreme conditions. So very sad whatever the cause.
They all just wanted to climb to the top because for most it was their last and they needed it
the mountain loves egos and dreamers
Nobody does what rob hall did in that situation. True hero. Ive heard this many times and has many real examples from history. If you are not walking, you are deemed gone up there.
Thank you
This breaks my heart.
I understand Scott Fischer enthusiasm, unfortunately, he paid a heavy price. Everest has become a tourist attraction.
An awful day for everyone. There are rules up on the mountain and when you break them you certainly run the huge risk of dying. That is what happened
Joyleen Poortier you are so right. Rob was personally escorting a weak climber who returned for the second time to summit, guess rob wanted to give this man his money’s worth.....a fatal error......break the rules, one dies.
Ok
I really wish peoples opinions on the disaster weren't derived from watching the everest movie or reading Krakauers book... If you care so much to be here leaving comments, please go visit everest BC and along the way ask anyone who lives on the trail what they think of Rob Hall, he was well respected and loved in the sherpa community, he was very skilled and the turn in weather was just tragic and not a fault. Ang Dorjee has often spoke out at critics over this, as has Anatoli Bukreev, considering they were 2 of the most educated mountaineers there, and helped save many peoples lives, I think their stance holds a bit more weight than some of the twats leaving hindsight theories who have never been up any of the seven summits. Don't insult their memory, keep it alive, as both a celebration in their achievements, but as a warning to others.
Krakauers book was fair & balanced from what I can tell. It baffles me why he receives so much criticism. Have you actually read his book? He wrote of Halls respect & admiration for the Sherpas & their community, who made the point of telling his clients before they even got to base camp, that they had no chance of reaching summit without the Sherpas & that they were to be treated with utmost respect at all times. Bukreev was one of the strongest climbers on the mountain. His rescue of his clients that were lost on the South Col, in a blizzard at 26,000 feet, after summiting, was a tremendous effort. But ...... he certainly deserves criticism for not using oxygen in his position as a guide. He didn't even carry a pack with rescue gear or first aid supplies. Outrageously against convention & guide protocol. Astounding arrogance that was not in the clients best interest. Why Fisher allowed him to climb without oxygen still baffles elite climbers to this day. Had Boukreev used oxygen on summit day, he would've been able to help Beildeman bring down the clients, rather than abandoning them. Krakauer didn't say much about Boukreevs recalcitrance apart from quoting others.
Yeah I have read it, you don't need to write on the article he wrote and quote it as the book, theres a difference between the 2. Do you know what mountain survival is? have you climbed? Bukreev had his conditions agreed upon by the team, only people outside of mountain madness had something to say about it, he helped a lot of people on the ascent carrying extra, short roping etc, and on summit day went light and ahead of anyone else so he could still assist afterwards.... so you want him to carry extra on summit day after carrying his own plus others the day before? All that extra weight and tiredness on the hilary step and fix ropes too, your grand theory falls apart that bukreev wouldve been shot and had to descend to camp 4. He summitted and descended, and as soon as he was needed he went back up, in a storm to the south summit... Bar fischer who was doing his own thing, The entire team survived, key word here " survive. " I haven't been as high as camp 4 or the south summit, the highest i've gone is mont blonc, and I can tell you first hand experience that just short of 5000m is insane even on a clear day, i cant imagine in a storm, temperature drops, poor visibility etc how hard it would be to descend, never mind ascend and save people. The only criticism of mountain madness that has any weight is lopsang, he was nowhere to be found on summit day, he had a job to do with fixed ropes, oh and who fitted them? ah yes boukreev! alongside harold from adventure consultants. Fascinating that Bukreevs criticism didn't kill anyone, summit the whole team on summit day, yet the wonderful hero that is Rob Hall got absolutely no flack from Krakauer on the same level as Bukreev got. Rob Hall has been romanticized as a tragic loss, who put his team at risk with fatalities but gets a free pass because he died. Also Krakuer published robs last words against Jan's request not to, what were you saying about him being fair again? cant even respect a widows wish. Instead of criticizing the heroics of men who are greater than you, I suggest you get back to liking your anti muslim videos that you made public. Might wanna think about what you are sharing on your profile before acting holy on a youtube video.
Now whos sensitive, lol
krakauer shot down the mountain after summit, he didnt call in harolds mistake of the oxygen, he didn't assist bukreev for survivors. You can praise krakauer all you want but his actions contributed to loss of life, you can't sit on the internet talking shit about a team who all survived but the guy who was doing things on his own. Super safe, cautious rob hall gets no flack whatsoever, you too quick to hate on the foreigner. You weren't there, you probably haven't climbed a mountain, you just talking in hindsight from an incredibly biased source like you were there. I don't know what makes you more stupid, that you are attacking survivors when your pro side incurred multiple fatalities, or your xenophobic racism. Neither have any place in climbing, so i suggest you zip your lip, or at least talk from a real profile instead of a no face, no subs, gum runner if you want me to take you seriously. Your fit of rage was hilarious, is this how you react to everyone who disagrees with you? lol
Ali Cupcake You don't have half a clue fool. You're dribbling crap. 'Fit of rage' precious? Gee, you're being a bit dramatic there ....... ah right, it's the gay thing ..... gotcha. My initial reply was very polite. If you can't cope with a dose of what you dish out, then it'd be a good idea to try not over-reacting like a shrieking effeminate girly-boy. And get your facts straight before besmirching the character of a man who isn't here to defend himself. The only reason why Hall died is because he refused to abandon Doug Hanson above the Hillary Step. But again, why allow the facts get in the way of your ignorance & need to insult others from behind the safety of your keyboard & a gay pseudonym?
25 years... unbelievable. RIP
It may have been better marketing to put the onus on summiting back on the customer where it belonged. I would say "For $65,000, we'll give you the chance to summit before Noon on two different days if the weather holds. If you can't climb fast enough, we'll give you a discount to try again a year later, because you won't be allowed to summit after the Noon hour". To help people summit before Noon, there is the issue of crowds and bottlenecking. Krakauer noted that he was forced to hurry up and wait a lot, mostly because the expedition was slowed by its slowest clients. Krakauer made it very clear you can be killed by belonging to a team with an out of shape fellow client who shouldn't be on the mountain. Fischer had Pettman as a client and she was one of those who dragged summiting to the lethal 3PM hour. But it wasn't just catering to slow climbers that caused the tragedies. Fischer died not by catering to slow clients, but because he apparently needlessly tried to tag the summit at 4PM, long after his clients were heading down the mountain. Also, Andy Harris lost his bearings as the keeper of the oxygen tanks at the bottom of the HIllary Step...was that because he wasn't using oxygen himself? He then erroneously said over the radio to Rob Hall that there was no more oxygen left. Hall himself really did not need to help Doug summit after 3PM like that, regardless of the fact that Doug had thus failed the year before. Hall had to know it was suicide to accompany Doug up like that. He could have said "Next year it will be free".
Well played, sir.

It coudlen't be free the next year because there are a lot of costs associated. they don't just pocket the 65000 and start laughing. These days they leave a lot earlier and climb through the night more to summit earlier in the day because the climate has shifted. In those days up to 4 was considered okay. All be it slightly pushing it. But everyone has a it won't happen to me attitude in everything in life. You drive a bit faster than the speedlimit because I won't have a crash when you easily could.
Well said. I agree with you about setting a contract ahead of time. Also I think there should be a daily limit set on how many climbers can attempt to summit
Two attempts for the peak, double the risks. And bigger the costs. The clients think that if they are paying 65000 they should be taken to the peak. Wrong, they are paying to get out from that mountain alive.
Brad Pitt should've played him in the movie, looks just like him.
which movie? would love to watch if you’d recommend it being worthwhile

RIP Scott Fischer (December 24, 1955 - May 11, 1996), aged 40 And RIP Rob Hall (January 14, 1961 - May 11, 1996), aged 35 You both will always be remembered as legends.
I hope I can find out more about Scott
I’m 14 and I just finished watching the movie Everest. As much as I feel sorry for the people who died and had their life ahead of them, it is kind of their fault. Why would people do such a dangerous and stupid thing to climb up there were it is very unpredictable? Only experienced mountaineers and sherpas should climb the mountains, not novice people. Because of their stupid actions, they left their families at home grieving.
Most if not all of them had had experience, Beck Weathers and several others was thier third time there, the Japanese lady that died has summited all seven of the tallest mountains in the world, it came down to bad decisions by Rob and Scott, the 2 that should have known better, leaving Beck blind and sitting there freezing to death by himself, Rob helping Doug when he was already on his way down and Doug was toast at 5:30 in the afternoon, that was Rob's demise right there, Scott wasn't feeling well he had just took a sick climbing down the day before and was spent and dragging ass and in no condition this be summiting, they both should have both known better.
The fact you ask this question is the answer you will never achieve anything great in your life
Having a sense of purpose in life brings happiness and as a man, putting that above one's wife or girlfriend will also bring more stability and leadership in the family. A man should chase his sense of purpose in life. As soon as a man puts his wife or girlfriend as his purpose in life, he invites lots of drama, instability and divorce. You are still young, so get clear on your sense of purpose and keep this above any girlfriend.
You’re right and you’re also wrong. Ego, money, reputation and piss-poor decision making and poor situational leadership got them killed. That said there were a lot of experienced mountaineers there and you don’t get experience without experience. Everest though should in my opinion be left alone until the Nepalese government can get their act together and enforce proper governance of the climb. For example an international independent climbing authority and permissions system where you are only allowed to climb with a certain number of QMDs at certain altitudes and conditions plus a strict set of rules on a point of return and the leader forces a turnaround without fear of financial impediment.

Basically more money than sense. And when someone has paid 65K or more and is 300 meters from the summit but you know he/she can't make it without risking their lives and yours what to you do? Can you argue with them? Fuck no, in the death zone common sense goes out the window....
Exactly. This is what cost them their lives, but can you imagine being in Hall's shoes at the exact same situation you are describing but actually being firm and making people turn back, no exceptions? I can only imagine how damn hard it would be and how easy it'd be to think "ugh okay I don't have a heart to make you turn around now, let's go do it and get outta here fast!". But then I guess being the expedition leader and a guide you should definitely be able to be firm during moments like this... So yeah, I hope the other guides learned from it and know that they should be unrelenting, no matter how hard it might be to look someone in the eye and tell them 'sorry bro, I know you've been through hell that you paid 65000$ for and you're only 200 meters away from your dream but it's over'.
Rob talked a big game, telling them he’ll be the “policeman” but in the end he didn’t police himself. And which is it, Doug pushed Rob to let him summit (as is portrayed in the movie) or Rob pushed Doug after he wanted to turn around? Seems like big detail...
Krakauer criticised Boukreev yet none of Fischer's team died (except Scott) they got all their clients home which was Anatoli's job, so maybe Krakauer and Weathers should look to their own team
To be fair - Jon shared the fact that Anatoli did not accompany any clients on the climb and climbed w/o oxygen which arguably diminished his guiding capacity while SF apparently overspent his energy resources
@@bettyjane6684 Krakauer was a journalist who was looking for sensation. Nothing else. Anatoli saved few lifes that terrible night. Before he went back in to the storm he asked Krakauer for help who refused and stayed in his tent. Anatoli was the biggest hero of that tragedy and Krakauer behaved like a little girl during it and like a dirty rat after it. I can't stand the guy.
@@bettyjane6684 Fischer had hepatitis
@@Dressagevids oh wow, I knew he had a liver condition but didn't know it was Hep. RIP SF
Money, testosterone, hubris and ambition were the deciding factors in all of these senseless deaths. There was nothing on that mountain worth one single human life. Rob did not turn Doug Hansen around when he should have and should have never left Beck half blind sitting around freezing his ass off waiting for him to return with Doug. Scott Fisher was dragging ass and knew he was wasted perhaps with HACE and should have turned his own ass around immediately to save his life. Beidelman should have NEVER waited around on the summit for Scott for as long as he did. These were all greed, competition and ambition induced mistakes. It was senseless, stupid and woefully unnecessary. Everyone in that tent meeting broke their word and people died for no reason. There were also way too many climbers above 8000 meters that afternoon which slowed everybody down and depleted their oxigen. People like Lou Kasischke and John Taske had the sense to turn themselves around in time to save their lives.
Mate Lou got down the mountain before everyone else in part because he was allowed to bypass the line of waiting climbers en route to the summit.
@@mrgrork MOST Anybody paying $65,000 to be “guided” to the top will do ALMOST anything to keep themselves from wasting their money. The survivors all had a lot of luck...
"testosterone' - you forgot estrogen. All guides with radios would saved Beck the worst of his suffering.
Luis savedra. You talk like you were there. You've only read stories. Shut your pie hole
@@allanfifield8256 I get your point, that women can die as a result of their hubris as well as men. Testosterone, however, does not cause hubris. It supports muscle growth, libido, and an energetic, competitive state of mind. We have testosterone, too, although a lot less of it than men have. Past middle age, neither men nor women have nearly as much of it as we do in our youth. (Gotta say I miss that high level!)
There is a background music in the end. What documentary is it?

How foretelling those words were of Scott to say.

The Swedish voice you hear belongs to Göran Kropp. He cycled from Sweden to Nepal, solo climbed Everest without oxyen and cycled back. There is a rental video about the journey on Vimeo. Göran was a bad ass!
Yes, we know. It's already been mentioned multiple times.
R.I.P
A real shame the way Anatoli and Scott were portrayed in the Everest film. Hell, the actor didn't even look like Scott. I read The Climb and Into Thin Air before seeing the movie and well it kinda pissed me off.
I agree 100% with you. I wasn't there and I do not claim to know what Boukreev did wrong earlier, however by golly he went back and saved three people. That counts for SOMETHING!
@@PaultheSheik All stuff that A. Bukreev did - was approved, and mostly suggested, by Scott, and krakauer, or how this hyena's name, knew about this. But he was hired by Rob and his job was to praise Rob's team, and find some dirt about Scott's team. That,s it.
@@Soulcheg Scott Fischer proved to be very forward-thinking, bringing in two very strong deputies who saved his entire team. Alas, everyone except Scott himself. I read Boukreev's book, where he spoke very well of Fischer.
Still they told the true story about Bukreev and Krakauer, where Anatoliy is a hero and Krakauer is a pussy.
@@celticglasgow11 Scott was awesome. That era..was just a very crazy time. I have his book and need to read it some day.
Wow thank you
Into Thin Air describing the 96 Everest climbing disaster is one of the most gripping books i have ever read
"...people who have paid me, I guess it's my job to - number 1, keep them alive."
And he did his job, all of his climbers made if safely to the top and back
he didn't do shit. Thanks Anatoli Boukreev's super man behaviors and extremely good mountaineering skills.
Tural F. The fuck do you know ! Your ignorant comment is based purely on a film, you quite clearly have no idea what your saying so please do some research prior to your moronic comments... if you think Scott didn't do anything to get his team to the top and back then you quite clearly have no idea what your saying so please for your own sake, shut up...
Sam A lol. ok fanboy. I've watched at least 6 documentaries and read plenty of articles about the disaster. He got his team to the top when he shouldn't have done. And he let his team members to face the disaster. Thanks Buokreev and the other guides for saving them.
@@turalf.9039 I thought Scott got the summit way later when it was just him and a Sherpa, and then he died on the way back down? Maybe I’m wrong
Scott Fischer and the 10th of May 1996 on the summit of the Everest If Scott Fischer became a great man, he didn't become so because he was an excellent mountaineer, much less because he was the head of the business Mountain Madness, even less because he was an American and let’s not talk about being a good family man; Scott Fischer has become a great man because the society, despite all its pitfalls, has failed to make out of him a social robot. This is the portrait I made of this personage while I was reading “The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest” Anatoli Boukreev and G. Weston DeWalt, and this is also the most beautiful thing that could happen to a man.
Once I dreamed I climbed Everest and K2 . Descending K2 I lost my footing and fell down the mountain. I thought I had died until I suddenly woke up in my bed breathing heavily knowing it was all just a dream. That was the best day of my life.
Where is this Footage from? I would love to see the rest of it.
Rest in peace Scott and Rob
Eight people died during the Mount Everest disaster that unfolded May 10-11, 1996. The fatalities included Scott Fischer, Rob Hall, Andy Harris, Doug Hansen, Yasuko Namba, Tsewang Samanla, Dorje Morup, and Tsewang Paljor.
Scott Fischer certainly was a great, very experienced climber who know about his responsibility towards his clients. The circumstances around his death and all the other climbers' death on Everest in 1996 are really tragic. It's very saddening. R.I.P. Scott Fischer, Rob Hall and all the others who lost their lives so tragically in May 1996. And my deepest respect to their families.
Has anyone watched the full documentary on Vimeo?
Does anyone know from which part of Sweden this accent is? The tone sounded like my own language which is remotely related to Finnish, hence asking.
Fly high Scott and everyone who lost their lives that day
As Rob drifted off to sleep on top of Everest he was either thinking of his sweet wife and baby to be... or thinking DOUG YOU SOB
0:04 is the guy on the right in purple vest and teal shirt Ed Viesturs?
well he kept his work and kept everyone alive
I've seen the film, and it's brilliant and accurate, I think Rob Hall was a thoroughly decent fella, when you consider the responsibility on his shoulders that day, he made sure Doug Hansen got to the summit, and then when he fell sick, he never abandoned him, even though the team at BC urged him to, disasters like this are inevitable when inexperienced punters pay to reach the summit... It should never have been commercialised
Holy shit I can't believe these comments about Rob and Scott being selfish... Everest has risks but it's about risk calculation and they wouldn't have gotten where they did if they weren't good at it. It's weighing the odds and they lost that day. It's incredibly sad. Don't tarnish their memory -- they were heroes. Rob stayed behind to help a client and wouldn't leave him until the bitter end, and Scott, when he realized he was unlikely to make it, was delirious and talking about pitching himself off the mountain so the sherpa he was with could at least get home safely without worrying about him
They were not heros. Their stupid & selfish decisions cost the lives of people who had put their trust in them. If Rob Hall turns Doug Hansen around then they all live. Stupid & unprofessional.
LJ Powell the truth hurts
@@MaVeRiCk77 people like them are not stupid they are adventurous and that’s because of people like them that we know the world a bit more and our society moves forward. Rob was brave enough to care for someone other than himself when the odds were against him? Would any of us do that ? No. It was reckless maybe but far from idiotic .
@@melaniesouza3174 Not when people have paid you to keep them safe. Rob Hall made horrible decisions & it cost people their lives.
Rob was accountable for the his own death, the death of Doug and Andy as he had made the decision to push Doug to Summit after knowing he was not capable of it. He should of put how he felt aside and done what was right by protocol. Rob waited on the summit for nearly 40 minutes with 2 sherpas waiting for Doug who never made it up there. He then went down and retrieved Doug, told the Sherpas to give him 1 oxygen tank and then go. Andy then died as a result of hearing Rob's radio call and attempting a rescue.
Any one know where the full video is?
is that Ed Viesturs next to Rob at the start there?
"I'll do my best to get them to the summit." How about getting them back down?
Everyone from Scott fishers team survived. That's a $12.75 fine
Wrong. Last i heard Scott is still up there mate. I trust you'll pay your fines.
One mans desire , is another mans dread. One mans dream , is another mans nightmare .
It's tragic to think some climbers deaths have been attributed to the hours long traffic jams that can occur on the overcrowded path to the peak. I'd imagine they would've survived otherwise. The worst aspect of people's obsession to reach the summit for bragging rights is the amount of trash they leave strewn around the mountain. One climber said you don't need a map to get to the Everest base camp, just follow the trash. The ESA has taken tons of debris off the mountain in recent years but there's still about 30 tons of trash left on the mountain!
Which documentary is this?
God rest their souls. They died doing what they loved.
Shivering, crying but above everyone else; with poor folks carrying their stuff . Yup, they love that shit!!

@@chunkamunga5692 Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer.
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face. On this mountain any safety margin if things go wrong is not given. Decisions should be done carefully . It was Rob himself who thought he must again try to get Doug Hansen to the summit. And it was Scott himself who thought he must summit that day even when it was very late and he was unfit. Be careful, listen to your inner voice and don't throw away your good safety rules while being in a state of hypoxia hypothermia and other exhaustion.
I can't even imagine getting people to the summit of Everest. I was very young when I realized taking people climbing was a responsibility I wanted no part of. Babysitting people who can not take care of themselves is something I want no part of. RIP
Agree. That's the issue with Everest, people should really be up to a certain high climbing standard, and acclimatized to the altitudes properly, to even attempt it. That would eliminate about 80-90% of the dreamers / tourists from ever going up. But money talks...
R.I.P. 😞
