The first African-American to summit was also the first black woman to summit, in 2006. And nobody cared edit; the first black African was a guy named Sibusiso Vilane from South Africa who summited in 2003.

Aha, eat it Everest. You're not the tallest mountain if you measure height in a dumb way http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/17/world/what-in-the-world/the-mountain-that-tops-everest-because-the-earth-is-fat.html

The death zone is anywhere within 20 miles of the mountain, at any altitude up to 20 miles.

Platystemon posted:Still less dumb that “hurr durr Mauna Kea is taller if you count the portion under the ocean [and fail to count the portion of Everest below the ocean because … ?]” Because Everest is a long long way from an ocean (it just sticks out of a continental plate). Mauna Kea is literally just one rock that goes all the way down to the sea floor. Not saying I agree with it, but it's a pretty significant difference.

At that point you’re talking about something other than the tallest mountain. What are the secret criteria a mountain has to meet to be considered? Why isn’t the tallest mountain Mount Lamlam on Guam, with the Mariana Trench right next door? If the North Indian Plain disqualifies Everest, why accept Mauna Kea’s gentle slope? Why not limit it to mountains as pointy as Trango Tower or Cerro Torre?

That NOVA documentary posted earlier about monitoring the effects on the human body in the death zone was fantastic. Those guys are lucky to have survived, and they likely only did because they were respecting the situation and were doing things with a scientific mentality about their work instead of in a bucket list tourism kind of way (who am I kidding? One of them should have probably died up there. It's amazing he survived).gohuskies posted:Dude on twitter says high winds destroyed camp 4 at the South Col, he claims some teams are going down and some still back up. That must be one hell of a lovely experience and I feel bad for those who are stuck in that situation. I wouldn't want that to happen to me. But that one reply tweet "Mother nature bless you and be with you" just stands out as a jarring disconnect from how deadly nature can be. The destruction of Camp IV is a sign that this year should not be a summit year either. The mountain has been actively trying to throw people off for three years straight. Everest is where mother nature feasts upon the weak and foolhardy The teams that have decided to continue up will not have a warm, unexposed camp to rest at on their way back down. If nobody dies of HACE/HAPE, there's a higher likelihood of severe frostbite from exposure. I guess what I'm saying is let the feast continue.

Die Russen waren sehr herzlich und gastfreundlich und ließen mich ihren großzügigen Freizeitbereich mit Billardtisch, Tischtennisplatte, Liegestühlen, Fernseher usw. genießen." "Yesterday I visited the 7 Summit Expedition, and what I saw was frankly amazing. The Russians were very friendly and hospitable and I was invited to enjoy their sizeable leisure area with pool table, ping pong table, deck chairs, TV etc." Translation and bolding mine. Excrements in the snow all over the place, but hey at least they have a pool table.
