Sounds doable... except the whole "get it up there" part.

Is it bad that I saw six new posts and immediately got excited that someone maybe died?

Who will be the first Puerto Rica hemorrhoid sufferer to haul a barrel of nuclear waste to the summit of Everest?

I thought the only way to die there was to suffocate beneath a mountain of trash and feces.

Your pimply rear end 15 year old self is what your parents want to remember, not noogenwang castle.

For what it's worth, colder air is denser so more oxygen rich. Maybe that can be used to coax some brave fool into the eternal grasp of Chomalunga or whatever the hell.

That's pretty deep and complex. Let me just retort by saying we are always angry about things we imagine. And by that, I mean, every time you get angry about something, even if it's somebody just curb stomped your mom, you are getting angry based on your idiosyncratic (or socially conditioned, pick one, either works) interpretation of events. This is an imaginative process.

So yes, I am angry about my imagination(s). So are you. Right now.

Jesus penis someone is excited about his freshman philosophy class. I imagine.

And how you climb DOWN an overhang??

Seems like an important question to answer before you start climbing UP an overhang to me. You know, in case you get stuck and have to back up.

Any recommended movies that are available on Prime or Netflix etc?

Seconded. Particularly documentaries about horrendously underprepared idiots getting themselves dead.

Well poo poo now I gotta watch Blackhawk Down again. Ironically it involves someone becoming seriously injured and several other people dying trying to rescue him because he failed to descend properly on a rope.

You guys aren�t asking the important questions here:

Jason Wells and Tim Klein fell off El Capitan this weekend.

Could someone explain why "simul-climbing" isn't actually worse than just the two climbers not roping at all? Because if there's no goddamn anchor and you're both climbing at the same time, all this does is ensure if one of falls you both fall, like some kind of suicide pact, right?

Disclaimer: I have no idea what I�m talking about, but speculating about things of which you are ignorant on the Internet is half the fun.

I assume it is inherently more risky because the odds of one climber falling are lower than one out of two climbers falling. So if they are linked together, they are each doubling their chances of falling to a grisly demise.

I was kinda expecting him to be chugging Red Bulls and shooting fireworks out of his rear end as he careened downhill to a speed metal track, but he just kinda edges down slowly in the little clip I saw.

What a puss!

Having done Mt Elbert though, a simple walk through the woods for PA's Mt Davis is... not exciting at all.

Brace yourself for Delaware - it�s just on a street somewhere. (I thought it was the landfill in Wilmington but the internet says otherwise)

I crouch on a ledge, eating my trail mix and staring at the tourists walking by. They don't know what I've been through. I had to abandon my baby carriage yesterday, about five miles in. I'm running out of water, and as I look down at my body, covered in bruises and scrapes, I wonder what I'm even doing to myself?

Staggering towards the family hanging out near the rest area and ignoring the look of horror on their faces, I get them to call me an Uber home

I miss that guy. I was torn between telling him not to be an idiot and watching him livestream his slow death by dehydration on an access road three miles outside of town.
