Deadly Silence in China – Cities Are EMPTY, Real Population only 300M

RIP all of you and Bruce Grant you were a legend.

I can’t listen. The voice is so weird.

Alison Hargraves story is a familiar one, when climbers take the attitude that I am going to make it or die trying, death is often the result. Hargraves was warned by the Pakistani rangers and fellow climber Rob Hall (who would himself suffer the same fate on Everest) that a late August summit attempt was foolish because the snow pack was unstable due to the summer temperatures as well as the serac above the bottleneck making avalanches likely, not to mention the unpredictable weather.
She ignored them and went anyway, and she paid with her life, and almost took her Sherpa team with her.
With more and more people attempting the big 8,000m peaks, most unprepared or unskilled, tragedies like this will become more frequent.
If you don't respect the mountain, it will kill you.

Casio has completely lost its way. It calls a watch a Surf Rider but has no tide graph or barometer. Makes absolutely no sense.

After watching all these videos of mountaineering disasters from the comfort and safety of my bed inside my blanket at near sea level altitude, I have decided it is time for me to summit Everest, K2 and Annapurna, Nanga Parbat,... alone, without Oxygen and Sherpa. I will carry all my equipment myself. Wish me luck guys...

I am going to learn all about this mountain so then I can climb it one day not do that any disasters only do the one disaster down the 1939 disaster to reach well that dude climbed in one day that fall to bass camp six and plan to memorial for him That’s all I wanna do

bruh, your narration is awful

So respectful

I feel like the reason alisons coat was separated from her body was because at the peak of altitude sickness, your blood becomes so thin that you get an illusionary effect of ‘over heating’. I feel that she took her jacket off, and began to descend improperly, causing a slip all in the same few moments of her over heating state. I’ve also heard that some people begin to walk as if they were simply going down some stairs during peak altitude sickness. No hands, no rope, just wondering down.

You sound bored. 🥱

I totally respect those who climb these devil mountains. God Bless those who try. Talk about heroes!

1950 FOUrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Bro sounds like he’s trying to squeeze out the biggest turd of his life for the full duration of the video

Alison Hargreaves left behind a husband and two kids. I saw a video about her son, Tom Ballard, who also became a mountaineer. Unfortunately, he also lost his life while trying to climb Nanga Parbat, the ninth highest mountain in the world.

That’s some family.

I wonder if someone got into a fighter/attack aircraft (F-18 or similar) and blew the holy hell out of that big serac on K2 (with no one on the mountain of course), if it would make things easier for future climbers? I'm obviously joking here, but I do wonder if the serac would just rebuild itself in a few years due to prevailing winds, snow and ice, or would it be gone forever?

As soon as u hear summit at 6.45 pm you know...

Is it just me (a non-climber) or does it seem absolutely nuts that people climb and exert their bodies in conditions that are lacking sufficient oxygen to survive? This entire activity is so confusing. Is there an inherent death wish involved?

For anybody that thinks it's hard to climb these mountains. It's not just take your time and make sure you have the right gear. I don't understand how people can mess up climbing these mountains

JUST STAY AWAY ALL THE PEOPLE DO IS TRASH EVERYTHING AND LEAVE TRASH EVERY WERE

Hargreaves's own son also died mountaineering on Nanga Parbat in 2019.

Contrasts with the level-headedness of the Hillarys

Kinda sad her son and his wife died in a similar fashion. Legends regardless.

Is it really necessary. To endanger your life just to reach the Summit.

The most dangerous thing to do is to go to these highest mountains with a 'I'll summit no-matter whatever' attitude. Be ready to quit if conditions don't permit

How do people climb these mountains without oxygen?

Up there you aren't dying, you're already dead.

no, not the mountain's "dubious" history. There's nothing doubtful about it.

Bruce - such talent and was something of a legend in his hometown. Just wish he’d taken the guidance of Pete H.

Failure to summit ain't nothing compared to the failure to survive. I could be wrong tho. I'm just an ignorant non climber.

Whenever i see a wikipedia page on a climber, and it says 'Died: Mount Everest' or 'Died : K2' i can't help but think of what a bada$$ place to die it is.

K2 is worse than Everest idk why these people do this

You refer to K2 as ‘Himalayan’ a few times, but it’s actually part of the Karakoram range and not the Himalayan mountains… otherwise though, good video :)

I watched in 1.25x Speed.

The summit party sounds like they were blown off the mountain.

just wanted to recognize your efforts of including the victims names and faces at the end of the video. Ensures they are not forgotten.

It's native name is, Chhogori.

Don't forget about her son Tom Ballard who died on Annapurna....

Experts telling you not to do it😲

Someone had se x on the hhill which was bad katrma!!

I climbed C1 10 times.

Se quedaron donde amaban.

lol, just talk normal the narrator voice is killing me

Like many people covering this story, you have missed out a chunk. Alison started climbing K2 with a British climber who was a little more circumspect and not quite so gung ho. Whilst they were waiting to make their ascent, she packed up and left camp and never told him she was going to join the other team of American and New Zealand climbers. The British climber carried on (I think he might have joined with some Italians but not sure about that) and actually reached the summit of K2 before she did. He passed Alison and her team as he was coming down and they were going up to make their ascent. He said she had tears in her eyes. Had she stuck with him, she would’ve made it back down but that desire to just push and push and be the first was what killed her because she didn’t make it back down with the other team. And that’s the story you’re telling, but you missed out a big chunk that led up to it.

Idiots

My thing with Climbing an Mountain is, idc how far you made it, if you make it back down, that is a cause to celebrate.

I don't know what's worse dying on K2 or listening to this narration

Morbid McDonald’s 🍔

Morale of the story....Trust your gut.
Numero # 900 🦁

It's not a disaster if it's very likely. It may be unfortunate but nothing greater.
