How have I spent an ENTIRE DAY watching these videos help meeee!!

If the Sherpas turn around, and you continue, it's a suicide mission.

I am now an expert mountain climber from the comfort of my own home

So not only did she selfishly leave two small children behind knowing full well that she might not make it back to them, she also put the family in such heavy debt that they lost their business and home. Real stand up gal she is. I’m all for people following their dreams/passions but let’s be real here folks, if it’s going to ruin you then maybe it’s time to take a step back until you can afford it.

Me, a 31 year old stay at home mama who recently fell down the rabbit hole of watching video after video abt Everest and k2 😂

[talkinghead]

I've climbed Ben Nevis a few times, that's more than high enough for me! One of the times the weather was great, and I sat for 2hrs just staring at the jaw-dropping views. Hard to imagine the views from these peaks.

I fail to see where Allison is an inspiration to other women. She wanted to prove that a woman can be a wife, a mother and a climber but she failed to prove it. Instead, she left 2 orphans, one widower and she ended up dead...

[spirit_resides]

All these deaths was so preventable! I’ve been binge watching these stories and it seems these people committed Mountain sui…. Knowingly walking into danger but their pride kept them going. So unfortunate for the families of these people.

I read that Allison was supporting her family with income from Sponsors. So maybe her decision to continue to the summit was, in part, thinking about her Sponsors. They want success when they've paid the mountaineer handsomely.

The FatherSon duo tragedy, screamed turned back as their teammate decended as other climbers as did as well. They got bad vibes as the small avalanche happened. But the father son, so badly wanted to be the 1st dad son duo to reach the top with big ego's found a bigger avalanche while resting. Condolences

gotta love how they smile like they are pure wholesome and downtoearth person in front of camera. everytime. but they are just adrenaline junkies

[HarryFlashmanVC]

I attended one of Hargreaves fundraising lectures for this expedition. She was a highly competent mountaineer. K2 is, however, extremely dangerous.

[Reckoning]

I have Andean ancestors, and they, alongside the Himalayan folks like sherpas, believe in mountain spirits. I do too.
Every mountain has its own sacred spirit and we usually give small offerings and we greet the spirits before stepping into their territory.
The spirit of K2 is obviously an very angry one.
Mountaineering, for that reason, is not just a sport that should be fueled by personal ambition, it’s a spiritual journey. Every person who puts their selfish needs above their respect for the mountain will sooner or later meet their demise.
The signs were all there and yet they chose to ignore them…

[MountainCry]

Yes, you can be a mountain climber and a mom at the same time, but you can't be a mom when you're dead.

[SwedePotato]

That’s such a privileged sport. When you don’t have enough danger or any issues in your life- just pay $50k to create some very risky situations for yourself on top of a mountain! Not only endangering your own life but then endangering the lives of others when you inevitably need rescue!

[OnTheGoldNZ]

Then there's that dude who skied down this mountain 😂

[kellyfarrar]

Ya know, Ive never heard them call a Father who died climbing a mountain and leaving children behind selfish. Its pretty ridiculous

[Forestfrost-Wd]

Allison suffered from reckless ambition and it cost her her life, and caused a lot of undeserved pain in the life of her family.
She is a cautionary tale ; so blinded by her OWN ambitions that she did nothing to make sure her family was taken care of- given that she was the sole bread winner, AND doing something that puts your life at risk!
Shame on her.

[SwedePotato]

You guys know that mothers are still humans, people, right? They have wants, needs, dreams, aspirations… Children will always be the most important thing in a parents life, but their own needs are also important. Just because you have kids doesn’t mean that you can’t go do what you love. And why is it when a husband dies in a mountaineering accident, no one says he was selfish for going and doing what made him happy.
Tbh, it does seem like she was a bit impulsive, didn’t really think things through, and wasn’t very financially responsible. She wasn’t a perfect person, but she just so happened to have goals and children.

Fun fact:
Mortality rate of Everest is 1/100
Mortality rate of K2 is 25/100
You’re welcome. 👍
