The EverestNoFilter Brahs just said they are pushing for a window between the 22nd-24th. Stay tuned to snapchat if you want to see these guys make a no-oxygen summit push.

Thought of you guys earlier. I'm doing the EBC trek right now and on the way from Thukla to Louboche, we passed the climbers memorials. So of course I had to look for our favorite Canadian, Shriya Shah Klorfine. And hers was ridiculously easy to find. It was literally the second one I looked at and its got huge pictures of her on multiple sides. Other than Scott Fischer (who has a bright white memorial with SCOTT FISCHER painted on it in huge black letters), hers was probably easily the most identifiable. Also I got to chat with the cameraman who filmed Everest: Doctors in the Death Zone for a while in a lodge one night so that was awesome. He's there this year with a UAE military team, filming for National Geographic Middle East. He also filmed a six part series on K2. Hardcore, man, trekking was enough for me!

Also, I have lots of pics but......um.....I don't know how to move them from my camera to my iPad. So they may have to wait until I'm back at a computer.

Back in 1996 Sandy Pittman was shredded in the press for daring to take a 'cappuccino making machine' which turned out to be a goofy pot thing that you shook to make a 'cappuccino'quote:In the weeks after the disaster, it was reported by Krakauer and other media that Hill brought a cappuccino machine to the Himalayas, along with her favorite Dean & DeLuca coffee beans. And now, pool tables. Sandy Pittman was a pioneer, man.

Whats interesting about the EverestNoFilter people is that they're not using oxygen and they seem to have a team of medical professionals at home looking at biometric data and providing guidance. They also have a doctor with them who apparently doesn't do well at altitude.

High altitude supposedly fucks with your taste buds, the rat poo poo is probably a nice change of pace for your digestive system from human diarrhea tea, and you won't even notice the mental degradation from heavy metals because you are already loopy from lack of oxygen. Everest seems like the one place its not a bad idea to drink some nutrient cum.

According to spiegel.de at least 150 have summited today and should be on the way back down.

I'm not sure there's even any bragging rights left if you do something along with 150 other people.
