I mean it's still loving hard. I'd do it if it weren't super expensive and likely to kill me (which is why I do other outdoorsy stuff instead).

It's just also compounded by a very good chance you'll drop dead or get stormed and it's completely out of your control.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE 2016 EVEREST CLIMBING SEASON HAS ENDED Unless you're one of those hipsters who includes the fall season FINAL DEATH COUNT: SIX I love that band! I saw 'em back in college before they got big. SO WHO WON? Nether Postlude posted:6 Rondette, bradzilla, koreban The OP for THIS THREAD was the first goon to guess the winning number for THIS DEATH POOL. A coincidence, gentle goons? I think not.

Nether Postlude posted:LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE 2016 EVEREST CLIMBING SEASON HAS ENDED This is a good article and answers a lot of questions like quote:On the Nepal side, EverestLink provided fairly reliable Internet connection throughout the entire season. Over on the North, China Mobile offered 4G. And satellite connection using Thuraya or Iridium competed the ability for anyone, almost anywhere to post their latest selfie, Snapchat clips, tweets, posts and more.  and more importantly, there was a sixth shitlord death on the Chinese side, bringing the death toll to seven

djssniper posted:Wow saying womans oxygen bottles were stolen... rich theives on Everest This is in fact one of many pleasant things that can happen to you while playing the game I made based on these threads. (Play my game! It's linked in the OP!) I think a few years ago some semi-famous mountaineer died in part because he had a cache of o2 bottles he stuck somewhere and they were gone when he expected to find them? What really got me when researching Everest equipment back when I thought there'd be a currency system in the game is that the bottles are in fact hella expensive but they do just end up discarded on the mountain since they're also heavy. Among other dickish things I'd do on Everest if I lost my mind and went there would probably be to arrange empty bottles into neat little caches so that thieves waste time trying to steal them. This is somewhere between "becoming a serial killer" and "dying in a sexually suggestive pose" on the wishlist.

I would have thought "gently caress it, If I'm going to die up here, I'm taking these shitlords with me" and sliced that tent to bits.
