The DAVID SHARP Everest Tragedy - Was He IGNORED & Left For Dead... Or UNPREPARED & Reckless??

In today's video, we will explore the tragedy of DAVID SHARP, a mountaineer who attempted to climb Mt. Everest but died near Green Boots Cave. This created huge controversy within the climbing community as many climbers walked by, unable or unwilling to help him. However, David Sharp made several decisions that put him in a position where he was basically beyond saving.

David Sharp (15 February 1972 – 15 May 2006) was an English mountaineer who died near the summit of Mount Everest. His death caused controversy and debate because he was passed by a number of other climbers heading to and returning from the summit as he was dying, although a number of others tried to help him.

Sharp had previously summited Cho Oyu and was noted as being a talented rock climber who seemed to acclimatise well, and was known for being in good humour around mountaineering camps. He appeared briefly in season one of the television show Everest: Beyond the Limit, which was filmed the same season as his ill-fated expedition to Everest.

Sharp had a degree from the University of Nottingham and pursued climbing as a hobby.[6] He had worked for an engineering firm and took time off to go on adventures and climbing expeditions, but had been planning to start work as a school teacher in the autumn of 2006.
