Jon Krakauer · Into Thin Air · 1996 Everest Disaster Presentation

This is just fantastic. Thanks so much for uploading this. Have read Jon’s book and it’s even better to hear him describing what happened with his presentation.

There is a whole slew of after the fact anti Jon Krakauer smear channels popping up. It's the new cool contrariam stance to take. I believe non of them.

My family is like why are you glued to Everest?! I can’t explain it it’s almost supernatural at this point.

Excellent that you captured the dot of the laser pointer so we can see what he points at with it

Where’s the rest of this presentation?

Want to listen a thorough review of anatoli 🙌

Silly rituals!🙄

In his book he was anfair to Anatoli. So, interesting to read other books about tragedy like Left for Death and The Climb.

That’s a great title..

Jon's story is mostly accurate but he failed mention some important details.

Before I get into those let me add what others have said. What anatolie did was super hero like. Saved 3 people. And Beck weather's story is a must read/watch. He details how he was mentally preparing himself for death when he had visions of his family. And that made him get up and wonder into camp 4,

Ok so Jon mentions leaving an O2 bottle at camp 4. What he doesn't say is his ran out and Neil, the guide who died, gave Jon his last O2 bottle. It's very sad he just overlooks the obvious implication that his incompetence was a factor in Neils death.

There's more. But I’ll leave it at that.

From all accounts this lads theories about what happened on the day and what other people did was wide of the mark.... won't look at this bull💩 video

Where do we find the rest of this? It's just cut off mid story

where's part 2. the show ends abruptly in the middle of the story!!!!!

I never thought "Into thin air" disparaged Anatoli. He questions his decision to guide without O but Anatoli a legend who did nothing wrong and John knows this

Jon is a pathological liar.

Jon Krakauer and folks like him don't respect anything except their own egos and turned Everest into a dump.

where is the 2nd part?

There is a body of opinion that believes that Krakauer's book is loaded with inaccuracies.

I get so tired of hearing someone say “people don’t realize it but Sherpas do all the work and we couldn’t climb it without them”, trust me we all know this, not only is it said every time I see an Everest video but it’s obvious.

Bukreev is my hero. Legend.
Strong guy mentally and physically.
I admire all you guys, and the mountains.

Why is the audience laughing?

funny beautiful talented gentleman

Krakauer you ruin the life's of Sandy Hill Pittman and Anatoli Boukreev. Sandy because she is a journalist as you are so you wanted to got rid of competition and Anatoly who saved lives is a bad guy for you. You strike on dead people that can not fight you back accusing them for 1996. Everest disaster. Just wanted to seek for commercialization of your book. You made it, good for you 👍

This mountaineering disaster was definitely a combination of many different factors, but the critical one was the ferocity of the storm.

I have a fascination with Mount Everest. I have watched everything available on Mt. Everest and other mountains, and then I started reading Jon Krakauer's book "Into Thin Air". Until then climbing Mt. Everest programs didn't give me the truest impression of what it was really like, and you can't know completely unless you have been in their shoes. After I finished reading Jon's book, I sat back and thought about what I had read and was overwhelmed with the reality of what those climbers really went through.

What a treasure! Every second is stuff of legends

I will never, ever understand why people want to do this.

climbing everest online is hardwork

I don't know the talker doesnt do it for me because I feel like I'm just being dragged along on a rather random conjecture storyline that never ends nor is self-explanatory as to why I am listening to this specific part for example. This talker should've set a few clear points to at least himself as to where he's going.

Very disappointed that the end of this presentation was cut. Especially due to the fact that, depending on who is telling this story, the facts change drastically. You can tell, just like everything else in life, the group of survivors broke off into clicks who look at each other in completely different light. John's account here is the story I give the most weight to because he is not past saying he made a few major mistakes in judgment that may have cost people their lives. All the rest of the accounts? (and I've heard and read them all) No one else seems to shine that light on themselves...they all point to 'hey, someone else dropped the ball.' The movie that was made in 2015? I don't know who was behind that nonsense but whoever it was made some really damning accusations with no proof! Sandy short roped the entire way??? She was a well known climber! That's Bullshit! John pretending he was snowblind...come on! He tells you what happened right here! Anyway, with that said, there are 2 people I blame. Rob and Scott. Rob had a wife and child and should NEVER have gone against his judgment of the 2pm turnaround. He got people killed including himself. Something was wrong with Scott from go. He ignored it and ended up leaving his entire group leaderless the entire acsent and decent. Andy Mike and the Russian as well as most of the Sherpa were all heroes. Of course this is just my opinion.

So, you lied about Anatoli Boukreev and made him the villian, when he was them actual hero of the Everest Disaster. It figures. He was Russian. But I just watched a documentary that lists out the evidence of that climb and his brave rescue of the stranded climbers and his ascent to try to save Scott Fischer. You are a liar, Krakauer. A shameless liar. The true facts are out. And you, Sir, should be ashamed of yourself.

After listening to him speak of what it's like to climb Everest, I changed my mind. There's no way I'd ever make it to the top. I'd be dead first.

Where's the rest it cut off😮😮😮😮😮😮

Wheres the rest of it?

I have read the book so many times and I continue to read! I feel and imagine I am there. This was the best and incredible video! Thanks to Jon!

7months pregnant wife..what a terrible risk!

I like Krakauers books, but they are usually controversial. What happened to 'Three Cups of Deceit"?

Riveting, on the edge of your warm, interior seat. Thank you for this amazing presentation.

Wow. This guy is a professional narcissist!

Krakauer may be an accomplished climber, but he is a Natural writer.

If youve had help fixed ropes and oxygen you havent achieved anything

Blames the one guy that was actually saving people while he slept in a tent lol

It just stopped?

Jon died today😢RIP AND THANKS FOR THE ADVENTURES!
