CATASTROPHIYA
In 1983, she reached the summit of Broad Peak without oxygen and without support — and that achievement was practically taken from her. The record was attributed to someone else, and for years her name simply disappeared from history. She knew it — and did nothing to prove it.
Decades later, the mistake was corrected, but the story remained. In this video — the full journey of Krystyna Palmowska: from alpine walls to the eight-thousanders, from decisions where she saved others at the cost of her own summits, to an ending in the Tatras that still leaves more questions than answers.

CATASTROPHIYA
Today we published a new video on the channel: 10 tragedies that shaped the history of K2.
For decades, this mountain has earned a special reputation among climbers. Not only because of its height, but because of how unpredictable it can be: sudden storms, dangerous descents, and decisions that in a matter of minutes can change the fate of an entire expedition.
In this video, we bring together ten real stories that happened on K2 — some known around the world and others almost forgotten. Each one shows why this mountain is still considered one of the most difficult and demanding on the planet.

CATASTROPHIYA
Mientras avanzaba hacia la cumbre del Everest sin oxígeno, alguien saqueó el Campamento II de su expedición. Desaparecieron la comida y los suministros. A esa altura, donde incluso una simple taza de té caliente puede decidir si logras bajar con vida, no es solo una molestia: es casi una sentencia. Y aun así, no se dio la vuelta. Sacudido por la muerte de David Sharp y sin sus provisiones, continuó el ascenso completamente solo.
Esta no es solo una historia sobre alcanzar la cima sin oxígeno. Es la historia de cómo, en gran altura, también se rompe la hermandad de la montaña: primero el robo en la ruta, luego el asalto solitario, la cumbre y unas palabras a cámara sobre que la mayoría de las muertes ocurren en el descenso. Y precisamente el descenso se convierte en la última etapa de su expedición.

CATASTROPHIYA
In 2023, a video from Everest went around the world: a Sherpa was carrying a dying climber at more than 8,000 meters in the “death zone.” Millions saw the footage, but almost no one knew the name of the man in the frame: Ngima Tashi Sherpa.
Two years later, on Annapurna, an avalanche swept him and his partner Rima Rinje Sherpa into a deep crevasse. In the new video, we tell the full story of one of the most remarkable rescues on Everest — and the man no one could save.

When I see pictures of 100's of ppl waiting in line to summit Mt Everest I just wonder what's their motivation, extreme tourism ?

Laura's friend did the only thing she could do. I'm sure that Laura would not have been upset. RIP Laura.

I do not need a mountain to tell me who I really am.

I'm glad she was adamant about not wanting anyone to risk their lives trying to save her or recover her body if she had an accident. That's the way it should be for all climbers. If you want to risk your life climbing up a dangerous mountain in a dangerous style of climbing, then no husband, wife, mother, sister, daughter, brother, son, or friend, should lose someone taking extra risk trying to rescue you or recover your body.

At 3:48 I bailed, read some comments, then googled "The story of Laura Dahlmeier" and read the brief synopsis. Done

At least she said in her will, not to come after her.

I think that calling the rescue off when they did was the smart thing to do. I just don't think that with a massive rock coming down on her head, she would have lived through that.

As a former minor climber and hiker, I always longed for alpine climbing. I understood her love for it. What a woman. I rarely cry. This made me cry. I'm crying now. Rest in Peace, Laura.

I thought it was very well done. Thank you for talking about the inner workings of the mountaineer. One sees the images of bodies on Everest and you don't think about what the mind of a mountaineer is. You just immediately think, bad idea or ill prepared or arrogant. I think you showed the confident comfort we all tend to take in our mortality.
