I was an involuntary "early adopter" of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, before it was even a thing. I read about "Koru, the 100% fatal disease known as laughing sickness" in a book of facts & lists in the 1970s. I was 8 or 9 years old. It scared me so bad I didn't sleep for weeks.

It’s less crowded on a Viking cruise. I’m more impressed with people who climb K2.

Kelli,as an Everest fan, but disabled, so not able to participate, I highly commend your comments and recommend a petition to the Nepalese Government to restrict permits and ask the U.N. for compensation. I must also underline that Sagarmatha National Park has strong spiritual associations with the Sherpas and Buddhists in Nepal

I appreciate the theme of this channel and the topic of this video, and the delivery is great. There are just a few inaccuracies that aren't that important for the overall story, but are still inaccurate. For instance, the rainbow valley is not in the direct route up the mountain, it's purposely off to the side to keep the bodies out of the way. You don't have to "climb over"all of their bodies. Are there bodies on or near the path? yes, spread out individually, but rainbow valley is not something you hike through. I hope you don't mind me pointing it out. I think your channel is great and i want it to grow!

I really enjoy your channel! Just joined the Patreon!

Climbing Everst isn't the hardest mountain on the planet to summit, it's getting the weather figured out that has a tendency to change by the minute not by the day. What appears to catch most climbers off guard is how fast the weather changes, and when it changes the decision to return back to which ever camp offers the best option of safety as your life depends on making that correct decision is a toughy because above the death zone while ascending the oxygen is thin enough making it dangerously hard to make decisions that's required for your life, and add to the "I'm so close and I've waited so long for this attempt nobody's telling me to turn around now when I'm so close" and some have saved they're money just for this one attempt and are hard headed enough and they're no oxygen situation makes pulling the right decision out of that hard head to save that life of they'res. Most climbers of everst haven't experienced the severe some times 100 to 140 mph wind if caught above the death zone as what the climbers experienced in the 1996 summit attempt which killed countless climbers. The Beck Weathers video brings in to view just what happens to climbers when the climb turns into that weather stricken situation that not even the best of the best made it off the mountain that treacherous couple of days because the weather was so relentless which can happen in minutes up there at 25,000ft and above. The rule of the older climbers was "summiting is optional, getting off the mountain is mandatory. I realize mountain climbing is a sport, what I'm not understanding is why with all the deaths that's taken place in this sport of mountain climbing why some group hasn't figured out how to change the weather before it gets to these killer mountains. Yes the weather can be changed by airplanes seeding the clouds with dry ice and a tower called the Haarp towers like the one up in Alaska that blows high energy electric current high up in the atmosphere which changes the weather down range from which ever way the weather is moving on that given day or days. If these people can spend the money that these countries are charging they can afford to build something to make it feasible to climb these mountains without the worry of death defying weather that's obviously been 75% of the problem killing these climbers the other 25% would be the avalanches which can also be curbed with explosives before the climbing season begins. This raw let's go climb a killer mountain day's are numbered in a smart sportsman's eyes 👀 . . . This ain't the early 1900's it's the early 2025 years and up and being said that theirs to many things available to make this mountaineering sport safer . . . The oxygen is good down here at sea level for proper decision making so let's pound out a solution for making this wonderful mountaineering sport safe or safer than its been for a hundred years or better. Gosh you'd think somebody would be getting tired of all these dead bodies laying all over the upper part of these mountains.

The Chinese found the body of Irving and the camera.

A lot of vacations cost more than $50,000 for two months!

In the documentary, Dying for Everest it was said that Mallory’s dead body was “there”, because it was “there.”😬

there are two movies of uss indianapolis 1991 mission of the sharks good one to watch and there is full movie on youtube and 2016 Nic cage film men of courage is poorly made bad to make naval history buffs angry because of inaccuracies

I've listened to a lot of videos on Everest and this was excellent! Subscribed!

It took that long to clear his name?! What a shame.

Great narration. Love from Canada.

Well, this is one person that def won’t be bringing trash up there!

Kelly I am 72 years old , and I enjoy watching the Everest program's, but I saw your vlog on my phone , and decided to watch it. I'm so glad I did. Boy did it open my eye's, We should be ashamed of our selfs. I know lives Depend on the income.However! It's sad to think that the day will come we can't go Any longer because we did not respect the planet ,the first time around.😢😢 THANK YOU for enlightening me.

estimated 25 tonnes of human crap on everest.. the mountain will exact it's revenge.. disaster looms

utterly indefensible human activity ..

You seriously need to do a collab with Caitlin Doughty. It would so epic

Greetings to you Madam Kelli Beard. I am writing to comment on your excellent absolutely fascinating account of the dreaded Rainbow Valley of the Death Zone in Mount Everest that claimed over 300 lives of brave and hard core climbers who deserved to be honoured as heroes and heroines albeit they have met their ill-fated climb to the highest peak in this planet earth! I am very much impressed with your precise and informative documentary being the best l have ever watched with both interest and deep sympathy for the dead. May their souls rest in eternal peace. I have been watching many such documentary videos about the horrors and great challenges among those die hard climbers but l must congratulate you for being the best commentator as you are so precise and even educate people about the dangers with illustrations and details about the meaning of certain words and your talent and ability to put the right words is truly amazing. I am an Educator, and an Academician with over 50 years of experience in education and an orator in public speaking and l am exceedingly pleased to share your experience and incredible stories of Mount Everest. Please drop me a word if you happen to read my comment here. It's rare that l have ever written such a comment to any documentary commentators. Nevertheless, the horrible tales of the death zone and the dying are very disturbing and heartening with deep sympathy for the ill-fated climbers. Please reply to: drbenjaminyapp@gmail.com Thank you for your sharing. Best regards, Prof Emeritus Dr Benjamin Yapp Malaysia

Awesome 👌. Congratulations on your excellent presentation that is very precise and informative. It's very interesting and absolutely fascinating account.

My. Everest is the HIGHEST CEMETARY and TOILET IN THE WORLD….. nice huh…..

Is it true this channel has only 555 subs,or am I blinder than i thought?

Helicoptering into base camp doesn’t work. You need to acclimatize for that too. Hence the trek.

🙏 *Promo sm*

My neighbour died on Everest in the 1990s.He died of altitude sickness at base camp .He was a professional guide on the mountain and even he succumbed to altitude sickness

After 3 days at base camp, I started bleeding from my ears. My Everest excursion was over before it really began.

The Aztecs were murdering people.

Sandy Irvine's body was removed some time ago by the Chinese, who do not like the idea of bodies being left on the mountain. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SDbRRU1YMLw.html

Thanks for a non-typical video on Everest. I did not know what a col is until you explained it.

Also green boots has been brought back he is not there anymore.

2023 was a very deadly year on Everest.

Green boots was on the north side not south.

Green Boots... North side I believe.

Excellent job of presenting the incident.

Only 300 people have died on Everest? That’s a pretty low body count still with all things considered

I’m pretty sure Boston still gets a Christmas tree for free from Halifax as a Thankyou for all the doctors and aid sent by rail immediately after the blast.

Thanks again friend.

Why don't they put a zip line in to get down from the top?

Thanks again friend.

Thanks again friend.

This mountain should change its name to "Death Mountain" or something 🤷🏾‍♀️

i have been to Everest base camp south col 2002, it was disgusting! i never intended to climb it, just hike to see it. poo n rubbish everywhere. now a hike to bass camp to K2 was a lot better. over tourism and lack clean up etc i can imagine it 2024 season.

It takes a special kind of stupid to attempt to climb Everest without oxygen. And imagine climbing with all that filth on the mountain UGG.

The distance from Everest Base Camp to the summit is about 13 miles not 46 miles!!!

I'm a climber. Watched and read loads of stuff about Everest. Your narrative was great! Thank you.

Very informative video ... well done!

Hi hi found you through the Everest video and I'm currently binging all your content 💜 I love history and the darker side of it is endlessly fascinating. I really have loved everything I've seen so far! You're awesome!

This was good/stimulating/interesting/explanatory

Very informative,.&.. interesting documentary kelly. Within a very interesting Natural Blessing..&...gift of nature to the planet. I find such disturbing though that indeed some of those whom are privileged in the following ..&.. realising upon their dream of summiting, Whichever Mountain they've choosen. In Quandary would very much be the polluting of the very environment Some claim to have so much respect for.🤔 My own thoughts.(mind) If you can't leave the Mountains within their natural state that nature Gifted them upon the planet. You should simply have a rethink..&..consider your ethical .&. moral compass.

Equating cotton prayer flags to plastic trash is armchair ignorance. Just another story teller who google all the information and injects personal virtues of rubbish. Sherpas deserve more credit and respect then that.
