axeil posted:When do the climbs start this year? People are arriving and setting up base camp at the moment. The summit attempts are usually in May so will be another few weeks before the first bids happen. It's been linked before but it's always good to check out Alan Arnette's blog. If you're interested in following Everest progress it's a good place to start. Here's the latest post. http://www.alanarnette.com/blog/2018/04/16/everest-2018-base-camp-progress-and-pujas/ quote:The base camps are coming together on both sides as the teams continue to arrive. Climbers are doing some skills review while the Sherpas build the high camps. A few teams have already entered the Khumbu Icefall. It looks like clients will begin to climb to Camp 1 in a couple of days. So far, so good.

Hoping for good weather and success on the mountain this year for the season. Last several years have been rather rough, I’d like to see a happy season for once.

For anyone who followed everestnofilter on snapchat, they’re back at it and currently at base camp. Think it’s just Adrian this year though.

Yeah I just saw that pop up - that’s three years in a row for Adrian. Looks like a pretty big snow storm happened today.

There was a death this weekend, and some injuries among sherpas doing prep work. Simone La Terra, an Italian climber, was blown off the mountain (inside his tent) and fell almost a kilometer. Looks like his tent was either poorly situated or poorly anchored. Simone was reasonably experienced, having summited Shishapangma, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum ll, Cho Oyu and Manaslu http://www.alanarnette.com/blog/2018/04/30/everest-2018-a-summit-and-a-death/

14 deaths in less than a day In the loving italian alps due to a series of avalanches and sudden whiteouts. Mountains are hard.

It definitely has been before because I watched it a couple years ago on Prime because of the Everest threads, nice that it's on Netflix now... may be time for a re-watch. It's super good.

We had some near deaths in the mountains here recently. Some dudes decided to go snowshoeing unroped on the Athabasca glacier using 4 year old GPS data they downloaded from a blog. One of them fell 30 meters into a crevasse and somehow managed to live. He had crampons and managed to climb out, but then fell into a second one. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/calgary-man-survives-steep-fall-into-glacier-crevasse-1.3889240

If you obsessively devote your life to a goal you end up only working to fund achieving that goal.

You guys aren’t asking the important questions here: How do you wank it with one finger, much less climb a goddamned mountain?

"I lost the use of one hand entirely, and only have one finger on the other hand. SURELY I'll do better next time". What the gently caress? Is this mental illness?

I wonder if that will make it easier then. Looking forward to the Everest hipsters who brag about climbing the step. 'Oh you climbed it post step. Ok. Let me tell you how much harder i had it'

Rondette posted:I wonder if that will make it easier then. Looking forward to the Everest hipsters who brag about climbing the step. 'Oh you climbed it post step. Ok. Let me tell you how much harder i had it' 💯 this is already happening with some climbers lamenting some of the mountains charm is gone. As charming as a traffic jam at 8800m altitude can be. I'll actually be more curious if climbing becomes less fatal.
