Sucks bro, its everyone for min self on a mountain like that, that person knew the risk.
At that altitude you can barely lift your own body. If you run into trouble you're more or less on your own. There's v little anyone can do. Read into thin air by John Krakauer
Every man for himself in the death zone. if you go up there and put yourself in danger of death and you end up dying, thats on you. thats something he accepted and every other climber accepts.
RIP
What are you gonna do bro ?
Bro it’s k2 nobody is saving you, much more remote and extreme environment than Everest you know the risk
You're misrepresenting what happenned. You can only fit one person on either side. They helped and also their sherpas were around the corner in danger of avalanches. You can only do so much.
There's a rule when going up and down the mountain one man for himself 😭😭😭
I would have helped him.
That’s literally the bottleneck on K’2. You can not save someone from that height who isn’t able to move. It’s literally impossible. Every climber understands this and climbs at their own risk
Those commenting that not enough was done to save his life, perhaps do not understand high altitude mountaineering. The moment he was unable to stand up and walk, was the moment he was effectively dead. The incident occurred above 8,000m, the maximum safe operational altitude of a rescue helicopter is around 6,500m. This means that a rescue team would have to somehow carry him down over 1500m to an altitude where he could be extracted by helicopter. However, there are no safe landing sites on K2 at that altitude, so they would have had to carry him further down the mountain to base camp at 5,400m. To attempt a rescue from that altitude on K2, would have required a team of at least 10 climbers, all risking their own lives. The lack of oxygen at that altitude, means every step takes a lot more effort, even without trying to carry a man down the mountain. K2 is a brutal and unforgiving mountain, and it does feel like it’s actually trying to kill you. It’s called the Savage Mountain for good reason.
What were they suppose to do?? Call 911?? So worried about rich people climbing a mountain. It’s just nature thinning out the herd..
They're under the bottleneck which is literally a giant glacier on top of the mountain that could collapse at any moment without warning. If they tried to help him, they would've died too.
What's the point of climbing mountains if you leave your humanity behind. People can try to justify this with the "every man for himself" trope but the fact remains that they are literally climbing a mountain for the heck of it. If you want real glory, at least do something worth being proud of.
There are situations like Every man for himself in places like Mt. Everest. Choices ran out sometimes in life.
So dumb to expect someone to carry this guy down to get help.
You assume the risk when you go up there. Nobody else should have to risk their life to save you. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
If one is not standing up Anymore and you did everything to help him back on his feet and offered oxygen etc. then they really did what they could 😢 maybe give him a hand while he goes so he is not alone 🥺
i read, watched and listened to interviews with people climbing this Mountains… and its brutal.. never something i would consider doing but they know its 50:50 and the ones stepping over him know they can be next in the 20 meters… even in 5.. unfortunately that are the conditions up there.
Helicopters cannot get there, a rescue team by foot even can't get there in time and to take him down? Thats even harder 😢 they need 10-20 man to try to get him down, risk their own life, and he prob would be dead before they reach him.. that far up the moutain its not even possible anymore to take him down safely 😢
So no the people did not neglect him. They can only try to keep him walking again and offer oxygen if they gave enough if thats unsuccesfull you cannot get him down.. the weight of one person at that point.. even the strongest man in the world could prob. not lift him on his back and carry him down all the way ..
There is a reason why bodies stay there for many years … they try to retrieve who they can..
So people who saying these climbers are in the wrong? Explain to me how they could have saved his life??
There is no point of rescuing him the mountain is taller than the clouds no transport can go that high
Help how? Not like you can carry him down…
Ya, you can't do much to help in that area. It's just a hard reality.
Did these people criticizing them for not helping ever think what help could they possibly give him at that altitude on a sheer cliff of a Mountain? If you get into trouble and become incapacitated at this stage of climbing a mountain like K2, you’re done for. Nobody can help you
This happens ALLLL THE TIME !! WTF🤨. What are ppl tripping on, NOT NEW ! …and what do you expect? Unless rich enough for a rescue, NOBODY’s dying for them!!
There is no way to help. Anything above the last camp is basicaly deathzone. Usualy youre oxigen is just enought to climb up and imediatly down. And then youre supposed to carry someone in conditions you barely can survive on youre own? Shame to anyone daring to blame them for others mistakes. fr
What are they supposed to do? Pick him up and carry him down the mountain? He's dying from lack of oxygen. His body couldn't withstand the altitude.
Everyone knows the risk…law of the jungle on everest applies mightiest survive an the weaklings perish ….
If I'm laying there knowing that I'm past the point of returning, I'm cursing every other climber who passes me just because. 😂
I’m going to reiterate what I said in a previous post about the same situation.
Climbers rule is exactly the same as diver’s rules who go to insane depths or cave diving. You cannot risk YOUR LIFE and SAFETY for someone else (if they are in the death zone).
risking your life for literally nothing- its not even that big of an achievement anymore legit thousands of people have climbed faking Everest
Each for their own…they know the risks when they sign up.
Don't get mad at them, while it's extremley sad that that person died, it's teamates couldn't help without risking their own lives, and also, either way they probably would't have been able to rescue him.
They have to leave him there for their own safety
Well turns out they really did anything to help him but he didn’t want to be helped.
What should they do to help him? Call 911?
I guess the coupd have helped by tumbling his body down the mountain… Imagine expecting help on a mountainside cliff. Wtf you doing there in the first place
Yeah because then THEYD DIE🤦♂️maybe get an actual clue what you’re talking about
It sad that actually no one can help cause if they do they might be next😢
He chose to climb alone, even with a team its not likely you can be carried down from that area
Enough with the excuses! People have been brought down alive from the death zone on Everest in much worse shape than him. There are no George Mallory's in mountaineering anymore. These people paid a lot of money and invested a lot of time in climbing an 8K peak and they're making a calculated decision to allow a porter to die so they can continue to the summit., PERIOD.
Several of the climbers said a prayer for the dying man. I think that is all they could do for someone incapacitated at that elevation.
So what exactly are they supposed to do? It’s my understanding in the death zone trying to bring someone down will likely result in your own death.
Ueli steck risks his life to help. Spanish climber. Anyway the spanish guy died then but he hold him in the arms . It s possible to help. We are swiss people. It was not in the death zone what I remeber 7000meters high but it was bad weather. Ee swiss people eat chocolate Lindt and then we have the power to help anyone. 😊
There is no help it's called the death zone for a reason, if you stick around to long you will be dead aswell
They are literally told at some mountains to not help people who collapse because you can't do anything
