Does anyone recall the quote from one of these threads without my having to dig where someone wanted to die on Everest and become a permanent attraction with their mouth hungrily looming over their genitals or something?

I kept thinking about it at work and laughing.

I dunno about that, but putting on a yeti costume and freezing to death in a lunging pose is def something that has come up in "ways to die on everest"

I hate to seriouspost, but couldn't you like, spend some time in an oyxgen chamber that simulated being at Everest's peak to make sure you didn't just die from altitude? If I understand HAPE and HACE correctly it's less about training and more about "did you win the genetic lottery" so theoretically a couple days in an oxygen chamber would let you know if you're gonna die or not.

Anyone got some context as to why they climbed up that spike just to camp? If it's a look how baddass this is thing I understand, because that's baddass.

The only thing I can think of is maybe the surrounding area isn't stable enough to establish a camp but the giant phallus shaped rock is very stable so they camp there?

I saw a car today with a vanity plate that said VEGAN and at least 5 vegan bumper stickers. In that moment I understood why Everest thirsted for blood.

It's actually super easy to reuse spent nuclear fuel, but we don't because Americans are deathly afraid of anything nuclear and the public thinks burying it is safer.

Days of snowy and butty conditions had left rescuers unable to reach the remote peak to search for renowned alpinists Kyle Dempster and Scott Adamson, said Jonathan Thesenga, of Black Diamond Equipment.

I hate when my mountains are particularly butty
