  1. RIP FOR THE DEAD. Very good information. It’s seems too many are coming back from the peak. And too many people have too much money, and an ego larger than Mount Everest.

  2.  @JRMTZD l believe l would do the same, but you don’t know in what condition you would be in. Also in First Aid you learn your own safety comes always first, you must assess the situation correctly, and take only a minimal risk, and guaranty the rescue will be successful, otherwise 2 people die. On the other hand l would help as much as possible, and in any case inform the rescue team of an emergency. When l read all the inhuman comments, many were not willing to do the possible.

  3.  @travelgirl747 So, you think, that a Sherpa’s life is less worth, than you WESTERNERS RICH TOURIST LIFE. I DETEST YOU, LIKE ALL THE OTHERS HERE, who say to do nothing for another human being dying, because it’s a stranger. It sounds really very, very US-ler.

  4.  @revekat2053 It is the fault of all participants, but the biggest culprit is the Nepalese government, which does not provide normal jobs, and real prosperity to their citizens. There would be no sherpas, when the village men would have a safe income. I remember on April 2014, 16 Nepali guide sherpas died in an avalanche on Mt Everest, while they paved the way for their tourist idiots. The climbing was suspended for a certain time mourning the loses of lives. Nepal is a brutal country, and Mt. Everest should be closed for tourists. There is a heartbreaking book about Nepal life and climbing Mt Everest by Nepalese Nimsdai Purja “Beyond Possible”, biographies (2022)

  5. There is another movie about two climbers, a documentary called TOUCHING THE VOID (2003), which kept me on the edge of my seat in the cinema.

  6.  @shidehhafezi6826  l learned in First Aids , which l had to repeat for over 20 years as part of my profession, that you only rescue someone else, when you have assessed the situation, and are not risking your own life. Your own life, own safety comes always first. If you die during the rescue, two people have died. But there is no excuse for not alerting rescue operator, and announcing there is an emergency, you do this in a serious car accident, a fire and also mountaineering. All the participants of such a dangerous sport should have a fresh First Aid before they climb. It does not matter it will be possible to rescue the person, but to try everything possible, also for your own psyche. For a normal person to see someone young die in front of you is not easy psychologically, you will always think, this can be my fate too.
