This sounds to me like putting your life in danger just to flex at a cocktail party to people that don't care about you
Comment from : @RemyBeast

Brilliant storytelling and research Well done Yomi
Comment from : @LukrisGlobalResources

Why aren’t people being held responsible themselves If you go and die you should have to pay a death 50K death deposit tax for your body and all your trash being left on the mountain that you get only back if you live to retrieve your deposit😂 Just leaving y’all dead asses in a whole nother country Disgusting
Comment from : @RONJAE212003

How ignorant do you have to be to know your not experienced, people dying at an alarming rate, your family won’t get your body back, pay $80K, and still go? How ignorant and stupid Ego
Comment from : @RONJAE212003

Should be careful, there’s a record mountain disasters just waiting to happen up there TAKE CARE
Comment from : @themediterraneanguy

Holy Toledo! I never realized how large the crowds are If people haven't been as odd before, they sure are now⚠️ They are like Sheep that follow And now TRASH: it is an increasing problem A way to lessen trash is to lessen climbers You might think that less climbers is less money but if you raise the cost of each permit, there will still be people that will pay Thus, the country will be making the same, if not more, and crowded conditions (and death) will lessen! They ought to give it a try If not, they can always reduce the price and the crowds will increase

Because of all the people it's covered in trash and human feces now!
Comment from : @Spicy-y9z

Real fast It’s “Sherpa” not “Shepherd” the reason that is important, is because that word is specific to describe the indigenous people of the area: that is the name of their tribe
Comment from : @LadyMagicka

Keep in mind that even if you succeed reaching the summit and make it back to Base Camp you can still suffer cerebral edema and die days after😮

Paying to die! 💀 😂
Comment from : @smartmoneyplays4149

I see this a lot from brand new pilots with big wallets buying aircraft way beyond their capabilityand crashing and losing their lives all the waybuying 220 mph Lamborghinis and Ferrarisand crashing and burning up in their dream carall the way to this type of high altitude climbingsometimes you have enough money to get yourself into trouble
Comment from : @richardfrances7679

The research and quality of this video 🔥🔥
Comment from : @ogechiaikohi

You didn't achieve crap if you needed Sherpa to bring your equipment and fix your ropes

Comment from : @rg2613

That's exactly what I said People are paying to die😎
Comment from : @sesmoney1

Sothe fee is basically a weird kind of insurance policy which Nepal becomes the sole beneficiary--regardless if the climber lives or dies

The Tokyo subway gives people the same experience with a more reasonable price
Comment from : @bobjohnston7347

All that traffic is ridiculously dangerous There’s a record mountain disaster just waiting to happen there
Comment from : @leonleon2276

Paying to get flash frozen!brThey should install an escalator and charge 100k

Paying to die and to leave trash on the mountain
Comment from : @bigshash9946

i'm not risking my life simply to impress other people 8 billion people don't care
Comment from : @JimmyJones-m2p

Just because you have money does not mean you should be able to do anything you want to Mt Everest is a difficult dangerous peak for people who have trained to mountain climb Sick of seeing the wealthy doing things only because they can afford to do it Sherpas should not be used to lug a rich persons crap 🤬
Comment from : @michelletrimmer7431

Just a quick, friendly correction about the voiceover: at 6:40 its another 8000 METER mointain, not 8000 ft mountainbrbrGood video though!
Comment from : @joshuawhinery208

Imagine what you can accomplish if you put in the same amount of money, time, and effort in climbing Mt Everest for people in need instead of yourself
Comment from : @TheSuperPsychoKiller

No respect, other than to the sherpas who's doing the toughest job Others are just boosting their ego and leaving carbage behind Disgusting
Comment from : @hertwend

The only thing I'll ever climb are the stairs to my bedroom !
Comment from : @PaulSmith-mh2yq

so china value people's life more than Nepal？ get it
Comment from : @李荣-n7s

And once you summit you are only half way
Comment from : @markb1764

Business is booming! Good for Nepal!
Comment from : @hankramos8663

mt Everest needs to be cleaned up and forbidden to climb for at least 50 years The environmental conditions are deplorable and humans have ruined it

Some people pay money to die on a mountain, some people pay money to die in the depths between Titanic 😉
Comment from : @lottaohlsson5018

Don't these people know they could pay even more money and ride a tiny sub down two miles to see a piece of the Titanic The athletic effort is there's no toilet so you have to hold it for 10 hours!
Comment from : @Ekim1956

Their money, their choice, their outcome
Comment from : @marchellochiovelli7259

This has got to be the stupidest activity ever Stupid rich people with a death wish
Comment from : @1968usaf

So let me get this correct for everything bad said about China they are more strict about climbing Mt Everest That should tell you something right away
Comment from : @IRmetal9456

My body has problems at just 13,000 ft (of course there's little/ no adaptation before), I can't imagine just being at that heightbrI 'climb' from 8,000 ft to over 13,000 on my dirt bike in about an hour That's enough for me
Comment from : @billmalec

What a stupid way to die
Comment from : @nonyadamnbusiness9887

Them white people making the mountain dirty af
Comment from : @Turtlemilk

I hope the selfie is worth it you bunch of narcissistic idiots
Comment from : @Buford_T_Justice1

I think this conquering Everest charm is too strong Everyone is willing to risks their life for it Sad 😅
Comment from : @newschaser6414

But not only that people die, also, many lose limbs, or may have repercussions all their lives because of the strain on the body So, you may make it back down but it likely could be without some body part These people are NUTS!
Comment from : @alandoren4953

well either you implode to become fish food in porridge form or frozen sticks either ways are popular way to die what a way to brags lol
Comment from : @madlove2339

So, all this does is make the summit even harder, aka MOR THRILL SEEKERS
Comment from : @collinmorris

if someone is wearing the north face gear it means they paid tens of thousands to be there
Comment from : @Dutchmaster707

If they dont climb Alpine Style without Sherpa supportthey didnt climb Everest I get it Regardless it's tough, but Sherpas drag blind people, deaf people, people with no arms and legs, people with no head, people that are 6 months old, savants, people 9 months pregnant and everything in the damn world up there It's ridiculous Used to be just for hard core mountaineers Now anybody with $100k can get dragged up to the top Let all the weekend warrior assholes that summit Everest try K2 and see how many summit
Comment from : @cayenneman08

Just a bunch of climbing dummies, thank you Mountians for thinning out the stupid people
Comment from : @mobiletech8826

Good riddance

Stupid rich people
Comment from : @gaim44

Bit like paying to go on that titan deathtrap
Comment from : @terrygood3036

A crowd on death zone is very unfortunate It means the little oxygen is even more depleted So sad
Comment from : @mercyetago4020

Many of the Tibetan sherpas won't like you saying that everest lies between Nepal and ChinabrOn another note, I feel the exploitative nature that exists now with the conveyer belt of humans going up and down spoils the very idea of it Its lost its appeal as a destination for me
Comment from : @gourkernow5694

I would climb it if it were affordable, but considering the price is insane, i ain't wasting my money just so i could have a chance at climbing something Plenty of other beautiful and hard climbs who don't cost furtunes
Comment from : @rauliuxaa

Everything you need to know: Don't climb mount Everest The mountain should be closed to assess and repair the damage that years of garbage piling up on the mountain has caused
Comment from : @robertshields4160

Maybe it’s posh suicide ? I get it if you are into mountaineering/climbing etc to want to one day aim for Everest but most of these people have no interest in such , clearly they just want to die But don’t want to admit it to their friends and family that they have become bored of life At one time people who were gay became priests as the celibacy hid their gayness Now the suicidal climb Everest to hide their suicidal tendencies
Comment from : @roywalsh9676

At this point are you even climbing? Seems more like a hike All the fulfillment from a project like Everest comes from the challenge With a guide to carry your stuff, a cook to prepare your food, all lines and path prepared for you Why bother at that point Just go on a cruise 🚢brAlso, let people go die if that is what they want to do The mountain isn’t owned and doesn’t need to be controlled Use your judgment with your life You get one, live that thang!
Comment from : @rogerwarr4673

Me either not on my Bucket List No afraid of Heights Ok 💯
Comment from : @DebraMaxwell-iw2ir

so, does anyone climb it in the winter off season? what is that like and would it be better? better for no traffic but the conditions make it impossible? curious afraid of heights person wants to know, thanks
Comment from : @jimjam1719

If I go on a plane or a boat and die in a crash have I "paid to die"? Very silly idea
Comment from : @garymitchell5899

I don't think making it more cost prohitive would solve the high death rate After all being rich doesn't make one a good climber If anything for certain people it might encourage reckless behaviour They might feel it's their only opportunity in their lives to summit the mountain and ignore the weather, weakness or sickness Especially when sponsors are involvedbrbrExperience and health should be prioritized instead And of course the corpos which bring people up into the death zone should be better regulated
Comment from : @angelikaskoroszyn8495

what is the cost to government w rescues? helicopters and how often are hospitals and public safety resources pulled?
Comment from : @beatpirate8

Unfortunately the majority of them are pseudo-climbers that just need a boost of their ego and their social media and are stupid enough to pay for their deaths or frostbites
Comment from : @lp4854

this is so thorough wow eye opening!
Comment from : @beatpirate8

i love that headline! because thats exactly what i think it is crazy people i dont think locals want to climb and conquer a godly mountain its a western concept the cost is the local peoples lives
Comment from : @beatpirate8

That don’t look fun at all and with more people getting to the top, having the expert locals carry your stuff (or you) for you, guide you, and having everything handed to you on plate and you just go up in a line, it doesn’t really look like an achievement anymore brbrNow if you go back 50 years and was the first few to reach to the top, now THAT would be a true achievement
Comment from : @eatnplaytoday

It’s not real climbing, it is walking in a line on pre-made routes with high risk to die So remember to write your will
Comment from : @Elvatrenni_413

If you want to live don't go with a company displaying woke North Face?

Comment from : @potdragon8091

The craziness of all this is obvious when you consider that Mount Chimborazo (Ecuador) is nearly 2km higher than Everest (from the center of the Earth, and thus also the same distance closer to the moon) and Mauna Kea (Hawaii) is 4,000ft taller (if you exposed the underwater portion) Everest is just the highest vs sea level People are strange

Mt Everest: Darwinfor rich people
Comment from : @rob-v1y

The term "Sherpa", translated to English is "Butler", or like our less politically correct-inclined ancestors would had called them: "He who does your laundry, cooks your food and even wipes your butt upon request"
Comment from : @ElMistroFeroz

Got news for all you macho men - if you set foot on a ladder, you didn't climb Mount everest - you climbed a ladder
Comment from : @captainpoppleton

6:44 8000 ft??? I would rather think 8000 m
Comment from : @RoyvanArem

Much safer to go visit the titanic

Common sense Everest control!

My only interest would be to go and help clean it up
Comment from : @AJShiningThreads

Rich people recklessly misjuging their endurance skills, is the lest societal concern we should have To be honest If you want to focus on anything, its the environmental concern and piles of trash As well as sherpas who are dependant of a life threatening job
