Also, it seems like in any country with a legal system, bringing a dangerously unqualified person to climb Mt. Everest, a feat which has killed numerous highly skilled people in the past, would at least be considered manslaughter or some poo poo when said person inevitably dies. Hope the husband has fun paying off that $100,000 mortgage the rest of his life. haljordan fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Apr 18, 2014 |

So basically that canadian girl was like the grizzlyman of climbing incidentally watch grizzlyman one of the best unintentional comedies ever as a heavily closeted gay dude with absolutely no wildlife training illegally trespasses into Katmai National Park over and ovre until he and his beard get eaten alive the audio was captured on his video camera but stupid warner hertzog told his ex gf who had it to destroy it and didn't play it in the movie t  t

I'm a terrible person. A friend who knows about my morbid interest in high altitude mountaineering deaths just told me there'd been an avalanche and I immediately came here to see if the thread had returned.gradenko_2000 posted:On that note, have people had sex on Everest?

mookface posted:They interviewed her and her husband before she went and also the shady expedition company owner and Sherpas after she died. She was warned by many people and given ample opportunities to back out but she figured it was a better idea to spend forty thousand dollars to die on a mountain. The whole thing is pretty entertaining actually It wouldn't have been nearly as funny without those really, really awful photoshops of her in front of the mountain that she had posted on her blog.

TheOneOutside posted:Bodies don't really rot at that temperature and altitude. Most of the bodies on Everest get preserved in a quasi-mummified state, most of the damage either coming from wind literally wearing down frozen flesh or the very, very small number of scavengers.

YAY! The thread returns. I look forward to pages and pages of goons debating the morality of leaving people to die on the mountain instead of rescuing them (not possible most of the time) and how we can build a pressurized rescue suit or zip line to bring people down when they are in trouble. also: ever ever ever ever... rest rest rest rest...

A bear rolled up on his camp at night the night before he was leaving and his girlfriend turned on the camera instead of yelling or saving him. Then they both got eaten. The pilot who was coming to pick them up found the camera the next morning. The audio is floating around out there somewhere but she forgot to take the lens cap off and I think the family hasn't released the audio.

I don't get how the girlfriend got eaten too, I mean "a grizzly bear eating your boyfriend" sounds like a pretty involving activity that would give you ample time to run away.

Grizzlyman's beard was pretty dedicated; she literally went out and started beating the grizzly on the head with a cast iron frying pan until it got annoyed and mauled her to death as well

Taliaquin posted:I got my hopes up for a minute. But maybe she could decide to go on up from there? Wasn't Krakauer originally planning not to climb it and then did? I actually like artsy stuff and people so I'm not making fun of her for being an artist, just for being yet another person who doesn't seem to have any business being near the mountain lining up for the mountain. Krakauer had tried to for years but never got the chance, and gave up. Then he got the offer. Krakauer is also an experienced group and solo climber, so there is that. It looks like this lady just wanted to see Base Camp, though, which frankly isn't bad. The worst she is likely to come away with from there is dysentery.
