I love waking up because I can't sleep, and getting to listen to this voice. It strangely calms my body down

Dhaulagiri is my favourite 8000er. Such a beautiful looking peak.

I wonder what happened to make the one guy do the mountain solo and leave. The fact that the other three then died on the mountain makes me think that there was an issue with the team. An issue that made one man decide he'd be okay soloing the mountain. An issue that made him not only solo but leave as soon as he was finished instead of staying at base camp and urging his fellow team members on during their climb. Making that little progress each day should've registered with the climbers to get down off of the mountain instead of continuing since they only had 3 days worth of food on them.

Happy Anniversary ‼️ & A great job as usual 👍🏾

Always happy to see one of your vids posted! Great content and wonderful sensitivity! Thanks, my man!

Your work is excellent. Thorough and respectful, and well commentated. I love your channel, especially your mountaineering videos, keep up the good work!

Found this channel recently. Really digging it❤

This channel deserves so many more subscribers.

Thank you for more content bossman 🙏

@Morbid Midnight Another Perfect video! Thanks!

Loved this episode. I learned more in this episode than I would have reading a wiki article on this imposing mountain.

Thanks for another great video.

Crazy, one guy said I’m going to get this done and went home. Theses other 3 weren’t on that level at the time. Maybe they should’ve just went for it. Weird how they got so slow, damn just disappeared!!

You should do more videos other then just mountaineer disasters but other type of bad disasters! This channel is awesome 🤟 love the creepy music and intro

Terrible tragedies! ... ... ... Excellent narration, and great photos! Exhilarating channel! I can't even blink, when you're telling their stories! ... I can feel the wind chill; I can hear the ice crunch; I can feel the ropes on rock; Every step critical; And short of breath high up! ... Wow! Respect!

Thank you for doin the work for this video.

I've been watching a number of your videos and your presentation and delivery are onpoint, as I listen to your commentary and the soundtrack in the background gives off something serious that keeps me glued and wonder what's going to happen next just like a cool storytelling, I was thinking could you do a segment on the prometheus motion picture or any other alien franchise, you would definitely knock it out the park. 1:05 it looks like alien covenant

Another fine video. Thank you.

Here! Good morning !!

I get that bad weather can put a stop to search attempts, but it didn't sound as if that was the case this time, and it still took 8 days. Can't imagine how frustrating that must've been for their families, and friends.

I'm reading Maurice Herzog's book on the first ascent of Annapurna, and fascinatingly, their team only decided to attempt Annapurna after first investigating Dhaulagiri and declaring it was impossible to climb. So I was surprised to hear in this video that it's now considered one of the easiest of the 8,000 meter peaks! I don't know enough about the details of the mountain to be sure, but from Herzog's descriptions, it sounds like at the time they were operating with a different set of expectations about what was an acceptable level of danger. They dismiss climbing up the glaciers they can find because the avalanche risk is too high. I find myself wondering whether there have been technological changes (even in the areas of say, weather prediction, or avalanche safety) that render certain routes much more feasible than in the past, or if Herzog's team just missed or misestimated something about Dhaulagiri.

Thanks MM!

Hey man what song is playing in the background of this video? Also congrats on the sponsor. :)

Having the commercials in the middle of your video sucks.

love this channel because it feels so much less like a content farm than sorry "true horror stories channels

Sorry I'm late to this one broski!! Closing in on 50k thoughhhhh!!!!

What a beautiful mountain!

I'm sure it must be terrible when one's beloved die so mysteriously. I can imagine it's somewhat comforting to know they "died doing what they loved," but never finding their remains or getting an answer to the final question of "how" must be difficult. Thank you for honoring them.

Great channel great content great channel - btw that's Ama Dablam not Dhaula on the thumbnail if you need some good Dhaulagiri shots hmu & I will happily share. Best

Crazy to think about all the bodies on the mountains that we can’t see.

When you say steep slopes what degree of angle do you mean .. I’m no mountaineer but am intrigued

Bro the austrian climbers one of them was my grandmas boss. 2:10

1:22 that avalanche is MASSIVE

Name if background song?

Mi padre integró la primera expedición Argentina al Dahulagiri Mal,en 1954. Poseo todas las diapositivas de ésta tremenda hazaña.

For the algorithm 👊

Unfortunately, I have had several serious accidents. None of them, were expected, or tempted. I find that these people who seem to flaunt death, are plainly demented.

Its west face is so spectacular that I named by handle after it. It's vertical relief rivals Nanga Parbat. As far as saying it's one of the easiest 8000 meters to climb, well that is not the case with its west and south faces. No way

love from nepal

Climbing it's a dangerous hobby it's just too risky rest in peace to them climbers

These mountaineering disasters are Neppalling.

I’m nitpicking here, but altitude and elevation are not the same thing, though most people would probably use them interchangeably. Planes climb to altitude; people (who are still touching the surface of the Earth) climb to elevation.

Yo no sly this is just a serious thought I had just now. You know how valley girls and woke leftists do the up speak thing where every sentence ends in an up in tone. Like its a question. I've noticed that a lot of channels dedicated in the spooky and mysterious do the opposite its that low speak. 😅 Nexpo (the king of the format) does it and so do so many others. And honestly it's enthralling narrative melody in story telling. Just because something is notable through observation doesn't make it invalid or a criticism. In fact I find it to be a poetic narrative structure for content in the genre. Listen, I'm a musician and I've been playing instruments since I was 9 so 24 years. And I really appreciate art and I believe that art in all it's forms from a hand egg sportsball player to Alex Honnold on El capitan to the greats like Coheed and Cambria and Zdzisław Beksiński all contribute to the fundamental meaning and expression of the human experience. Art and it's appreciation seems to be the way the universe, collective unconscious or "God" works through us and to me that's one reason that we exist. To create is infinite and so is expression 😅 idk maybe the mushrooms fried my brain but I doubt it...

What a tragedy! I feel for their loved ones. Never knowing the full story must be difficult.

Is there a particular reason why these climbers are going up these mountains in winter? Sincerely.

I can climb that mountain but not in the spot you're showing.

Mate, I'm glad you've got sponsorship but if you're going to include ads that long, you're going to have to make your videos longer too - otherwise we're looking at 1/5th to a 1/4 of your video being ads - not attractive to anyone.

check you figures - its about 210 kilometers from Kathmandu🤣

👍👍👍

Wow

The south face is anything but easy. No one has been able to summit the mountain via this 4100m monster of a face

Yo the Swiss and Austrians are the absolute goats hahaha they been trying to conquer slabs and ice forever 😅

My grandmas Boss died om that Hill IV

The Andes and other great limestone mountain ranges are actually made of, fossilized (05:50) flesh. The term is actually called nucleophilic substitution, with our level Earth plane the actual Substrate ! Mega Titans existed, then ancient Earth was covered in Ice, it thawed out and oceans covered the remains and flesh was turned into stone. Yikes, I know that all sounds scary, but it's the truth, level Earth is made of numerous titans remains. The south Sandwich Islands is the massive jawbone of that mega titan dragon which was about 4500 miles long, tail near Panama. The Appalachains Mts. is a multi-head version, only about 1000 miles long though, a baby. lol 😉 You think that's a joke ? The north Canadian Rockies has two distinct titan dragon creatures, and of course this is where all our Oil, Coal and Shale etc. comes from, their venom ! lol ... I found over a dozen of these Titans all over our google Earth, but there are other ways to see them just open your eyes.

the creepy music gets annoying fast. no background music is best

👍

Daulaghiri is 210 km flying Daulaghiri is 130.48 miles, flying Daulaghiri is, roughly, 400 miles driving and/or walking

Mountaineers are mostly rich Ppl that do not gaF about others. It is all about them and their Climb to the Top. No Thoughts about the Dangers. But when Danger strikes they want to be rescued, only for climbing again. No Thoughts about the Rescue Team and the Dangers they put them in. Because climbing a Fkn Mountain is more worth then a Life

👍🐿😨

Yeti attack

The Ad for Nord is WAY too long and poorly placed. It's not so much a video with an sd as if is an ad with a video. I know sponsors are necessary, but, ugh!

We in the US don't use the word "slope" anymore. It's an ignorant and racist slur. We say Asian-American now.

I don't need a commercial

Stop the VPN BS please.

So is this a commercial for your sponsors? Keep it up and I will unsubscribe...

Thumbs-down because ads too long...
