Chantal Mauduit was the 4th woman to climb K2. She was born in Paris, France. She had climbed six of the fourteen eight-thousander mountains. Chantal reached the summits of those mountains without the use of supplemental oxygen.
She was rescued by Ed Viesturs and Scott Fischer on K2 in 1992. In 1995, near the South Summit of Everest, she lost consciousness, and was rescued and carried all the way down to the South Col by Rob Hall and other climbers. She died on Dhaulagiri, the world’s seventh highest mountain in May 1998 with her Sherpa Ang Tshering.
This is her story.

Once again, you show me why you're my favorite high altitude climbing RU-vid channel. Thank you for the thoughtful and respectful video about someone I did not know about. You treat the subject seriously and I appreciate your attention to detail. You're the best!

@epicadventurearchives Год назад

Thanks for your positive feedback.

What a lovely person chantal was... it it so saddening to know she is no longer with us. You have made a wonderfully respectful video of many female climbers, especially of a lovely free spirit that Chantal Mauduit was , may they all forever Rest in Peace.

@sprkl5d Год назад

Another heartbreaking loss. Its so thoughful that you tell so much about the climbers especially those who died on the mountains. May Chantal rest in peace.

@laurabell48 Год назад

That video was very well put together with lots of details, thank you!

@jeannekeweloh3359 Год назад

Nice video about the life of a courageous and inspiring woman, thank you! ❣️

@crochetknit1845 Год назад

I like your way of describing the whole person, not just how they died. Please continue.

@studebaker4217 Год назад

Thank you for telling us Chantal's story. Your prodigious research is, as usual on your channel, blended with huge respect for people and their value in inspiring the rest of us. Keep it up (I've just subscribed after all!).

@oldbat2ccats Год назад

I love the respect and honor with which you treat the subjects of your videos, watching the tributes and hearing her thoughts expressed coupled with the peaceful music and spectacular photography is stunning. Thank you.

Fantastic climber, athlete. Like a fighter, bomber pilot in WW2, you only get so many chances. RIP.

Actually, on K2, the other climbers had already given up their ascent on K2 before rescuing. She had become snow blind because of broken glasses crushed by a backpack inside a tent. Her climb of Lothse was the first solo woman climb. About Tibet, she cimbed to the top of Notre Dame's cathedral spire in Paris to put the tibetan flag a few days before the chinese prime minister visited France.

The great Ed Viesturs' book had interesting passages on Chantal. He was of the opinion that she was climbing beyond her abilities, and often had to be rescued at great effort and danger to others. She would give 110% to get to the top and then would have perished many times over had she not been rescued. And then gave zero thanks afterwards, multiple times. Very selfish behavior, if his accounts are to be believed.

@dabneyoffermein595 3 месяца назад

Did the video say she tried Everest 8 times and never summited? If so, I've never heard of that, at least not in the oxygen era. So many rescues, really odd. what was she being rescued from? Viesturs might have a point if that were to be true (that she did not thank people for rescuing her.) Seems like if this Ed Viesters is to be believed, there would be more accounts of this. Please share your personal account of your time with Chantal if you have one, perhaps she was just a very complicated person, very shy, and not too gifted when it came to hardcore mountaineering the big-boys. She seems so at peace with her studies while on the mountain. I wish she would have submitted Mt. Everest.

@francoisfoue 9 дней назад

Actually, Ed had given up the ascent of K2 when Chantal reached the summit with a russian climber who reached the summit 2 hours after her (i have the complete story). Her vision problem came because her glasses had been crushed by a backpack in the last camp before the summit. One of Chantal's very close friend said that Ed was unhappy with Chantal because she had turned him down as a boy friend. True or not, I don't know but it is very plausible and would explain why Viestrus had this opinion about her. She also participated in rescue teams for other climbers like all people would do in such cases.

@tomashertz1155 Год назад

It does not matter how prudent you are when climbing. You cannot control nature. You cannot predict the unpredictable. If you climb long enough and high enough, it becomes a numbers game, and her number came up. We constantly say that mountaineers die doing what they love. I always wonder what goes through their minds the second before their life is taken from them. Would they give back all their summits for extra time with loved ones, or would they think that this is the way it is meant to be? I climbed for ten years and only at moderate altitude. The more I learned to more concerned I became about the minefield of mountaineering. You don't have to go to the Himalayas to die at high altitudes. People die on Ben Nivis as well.

@dana102083 Год назад

Im afraid the warming of the high peaks is going to increase a lot of disasters even more than already. So much can go wrong, glad you came to this conclusion early enough. 🙏

@AtomicB-zq2cw Год назад

Of course it matters how prudent a climber is. They are much more likely to die if not prudent. You do not seem to know very much about how things work in general.

@sterlingmatsui154 Год назад

I truly believe that Chantal would have chosen the exact climbing life-path depicted in this video, despite it costing her life~as would the majority of Alpiner Climbers☆☆☆...

@dana102083 Год назад

@@AtomicB-zq2cw but they said when it comes to nature.. Mature doesn't care how prudent you are. I get what you mean but also get what they mean.

@Loralanthalas Год назад

Yeah. You can die in a car wreck carrying a laptop to work. Give it long enough you'll be in an accident. It's just numbers and TOTAL and complete randomness of fate.

This little girl, took on the world . Won some and lossed sum. You cannot deny her beauty. Her denial to use oxygen could have got herself killed 2x but she felt it would cause people to cast shade on her achievements

@timgoodsell4053 Год назад

Excellent video.

@risingwolf 8 месяцев назад

Ed Viesturs said that on Dhaulagiri Chantal's tent look drifted over, not smashed by an avalanche, which surely would have dislodged it from its platform. And the Italian who first tried to open the tent reported that it was slumped under drifted snow, not avalanche debris. The broken neck claim would not make sense as there was no evidence of an avalanche or a block of ice striking the tent. The official broken neck story leaves much doubt.

@SuperOlds88 7 месяцев назад

How do you do an accurate autopsy after the deceased has been drug down a mountain probably not in the most gentle manner?

@georgiaknudsen5377 Год назад

Twice people risked their lives to save her and then retrieval of body - selfish

@francoisfoue 9 дней назад

Actually, on Everest, Fischer was there already and helped her down after she refused oxygen on south summit to reach the top since she wanted to make it without oxygen. On K2, climbers were there already as well. On the last camp, the day of the final climb, they were 4 climbers, including Viestrus who give up the ascent the day she made it to the top with a Russian climber who reached the summit 2 hours after her. On the way down, bad weather and blindness (because of broken glasses) came - all climbers were going down and she was rescued at camp 3. nobody gave up the summit for her and made it later that year because of bad weather

Why do people climb on such high places. Its crazy

@joshthemediocre7824 Год назад

Hey at least she was a real climber. She died doing what she loved and probably wouldn't have wanted it any other way

@hni7458 Год назад

"It was not the right time...", no indeed it wasn't, and that's what's so fearsome. Whatever they do, and however good they are, an avalanche or loose rock can take them out in an instant - it's distressing to watch really. The route seems plain enough, but they are up against a Mountain - a very fickle female deity, according to the locals.

@TheDollyce Год назад

Just ask rock climbers (like Alex Honnold) how many of their fellow rock climbers are still alive, and died climbing. The answer is staggering.

@junkequation Год назад

Hearing stories of climbing these extreme altitude mountains always strikes me as selfish and foolhardy. This woman survived several close calls and only survived because others decided saving her was more important than their own summit push which does not always happen. You're just placing yourself in absurdly dangerous situations that puts the lives of others at risk when you need rescue. And for what? Your own sense of accomplishment, I guess. I'm not impressed with people who summit these mountains. I think they're sort of assholes.

Terrible person. Ask the American climbers who saved her life on K2 and nearly died themselves and not even a thank you.

@HankyDooDoo 7 месяцев назад

Karma got her after all, after what she did to Thor who saved her life in the past and she pretty much "spat at his face" for helping her. She used him because he loved her and she took advantage of it. I tought she was always trying to jump in every man's bed so they can do all the hard work for her and carry everything for her ,she manipulated men all the time. She had an evil soul and the person who made this video has not done a proper research about her, she had a very evil side to her which is not covered on this video
