David Sharp Biography

David Sharp is one of the most popular and richest Mountaineer who was born on February 15, 1972 in England, United Kingdom. David Sharp (15 February 1972 15 February 1972 – 15 May 2006.) was an English mountaineer who passed away close to the summit of Mount Everest. His death sparked controversy and controversy, as Sharp was spotted by a variety of other climbers who were heading to or return from Mount Everest when they were dying, even though several others attempted to assist him.

in 2002 Sharp was part of an excursion towards Cho Oyu, an 8,201 m (26,906 feet) summit in the Himalayas along with a group of climbers led by Richard Dougan and McGuinness of the Himalayan Project. They did reach the top, but one of the group members died when they fell into a crevasse. This gave them a place for the group’s journey to Everest the following year. Dougan Sharp was viewed by Dougan Sharp as a seasoned climber, however he noted that Sharp was slim and tall and had a thin frame and little body fat and in mountaineering that is cold, the amount of body fat is vital for the survival of a climber.

Sharp’s first Mount Everest expedition was in 2003 with a group led by British climber Richard Dougan. The party also included Terence Bannon, Martin Duggan, Stephen Synnott, and McGuinness. Only Bannon and McGuinness reached the summit, but the group incurred no fatalities. Dougan noted that Sharp had acclimatized well and was their strongest team member. In addition, Sharp was noted for being a pleasant person at camp and had a talent for rock climbing. However, when Sharp started to get frostbite on the group’s ascent, most of the group agreed to turn back with him from the summit.

Mountaineer David Watson, who was on Everest that season on the North side, commented to The Washington Post: “It’s too bad that none of the people who cared about David knew he was in trouble”, because “the outcome would have been a lot different.” Watson thought it was possible to save Sharp, and he said Sharp had worked with other climbers in 2004, to save a Mexican climber who had gotten into trouble. Watson was alerted the morning of 16 May by Phurba Tashi. Watson went to Sharp’s tent and showed Sharp’s passport to Tashi, who confirmed his identity. Around this time, a Korean team gave a radio report that the climber in red boots [Sharp] was dead. He had his rucksack with him, but his camera was missing, so it is not known if he summited.

McGuinness took part in an excursion which successfully reached Cho Oyu along with Sharp during 2002. McGuinness also participated in the 2003 trip towards Mount Everest with Sharp and others, and in 2006, he offered Sharp the chance to climb Everest in his own organized trip for a fraction of the amount he paid for to Asian Trekking the price, which Sharp did not accept as he was looking to climb Everest on his own. On the film Dying For Everest, McGuiness pointed out that Sharp didn’t expect to be saved … “absolutely not, he was clear to me that he understood the risks and he did not want to endanger anyone else”.

In the documentary Dying for Everest, Mark Inglis stated: “From my memory, I used the radio. I got a reply to move on and there is nothing that I can do to help. Now I’m not sure whether it was from Russell [Brice] or from someone else, or whether you know… it’s just hypoxia and it’s … it’s in your mind.” It is believed that if Inglis did in fact have a radio conversation where he was told that “he’s been there x number of hours without oxygen” that it must have been on Inglis’ descent, as there was no way for Brice or other climbers to have known how long Sharp had been where he was found during the climber’s ascent, and in July 2006 Inglis retracted his claim that he was told to continue his ascent after informing Brice of a climber in distress, blaming the extreme conditions at altitude for the uncertainty in his memory.

David Sharp is one of the richest Mountaineer from United Kingdom. According to our analysis, Wikipedia, Forbes & Business Insider, David Sharp's net worth $5 Million. (Last Update: December 11, 2023)

David Sharp was born in Harpenden close to London Then he attended Prior Pursglove College and the University of Nottingham. He received the Mechanical Engineering degree in 1993. He was employed by Global security firm QinetiQ. In 2005, he left his job and began an instructor training course and was planning to begin working as a teacher in the autumn of. David Sharp was also an expert and skilled mountaineer and had climbed some the most imposing mountains on earth, like Cho Oyu in the Himalayas. Sharp didn’t believe in using a guidebook for the mountains he was comfortable with, climbing aids from local climbers or artificial enhancements like high altitude drugs or additional oxygen to get to the summit of the mountain.

in 2001 Sharp was part of an excursion towards Gasherbrum II, an 8,035 meters (26,362 feet) mountain that is located in the Karakoram situated at the frontier of Gilgit-Baltistan province Pakistan in Pakistan, as well as Xinjiang, China. The group headed by Henry Todd, did not climb to the summit due to bad weather.

In May 2002, Sharp summited the 8,200 m (26,903 ft) Cho Oyu with Jamie McGuinness and Tsering Pande Bhote. Cho Oyu is the sixth highest peak in the world and is near Mount Everest. The leader of the Cho Oyu expedition, impressed with Sharp’s strength, acclimatization abilities, and rock climbing talent, invited him to join an expedition to Everest the next year.

Himex organized several teams to climb Everest during the 2006 climbing season expedition. The first team was guided by mountain climber and guide Bill Crouse. At about 01:00 on 14 May, Crouse’s expedition team passed by Sharp during their own ascent. They passed at a location on the common North route by a spot known as the “Exit Cracks”. When Crouse’s team descended, they saw Sharp again at the base of the Third Step around 11:00. By the time Crouse’s expedition had descended to the Second Step, more than one hour later, they looked back to see that Sharp was above the Third Step, but was climbing very slowly and had only moved about 90 m (295 ft).

D’Aubarede said Sharp disagreed with him that it was wrong to climb alone and to attempt summiting without using supplementary oxygen. This is confirmed by Sharp’s emails to other climbers in which he stated he did not believe in using extra oxygen. He joined four climbers on this expedition, so Sharp relented on that point of disagreement, but only for a time, as he would return in 2006 for his solo attempt. As a result of his 2004 attempt, Sharp incurred frostbite on his fingers during the expedition.

In 2004, Sharp joined a Franco-Austrian expedition to the north side of Mount Everest, climbed to 8,500 m (27,887 ft), but did not reach the summit. Sharp could not keep up with the others and stopped before the First Step. The expedition’s leader was Hugues d’Aubarede, a French climber who was later killed in the 2008 K2 disaster (his third attempt to climb that mountain), but who became, on this 2004 expedition, the 56th French person to summit Everest. D’Aubarede’s group reached the summit on the morning of 17 May and included Austrians Marcus Noichl, Paul Koller, and Fredrichs “Fritz” Klausner as well as Nepalis Chhang Dawa Sherpa, Lhakpa Gyalzen Sherpa, and Zimba Zangbu Sherpa (also known as Ang Babu). When Sharp died in 2006, d’Aubarede was on an expedition to K2.
