Each year something worse and worse happens on Everest until eventually it will just be hit by a large meteor

A new thread, a good thread. I'm in for 9 this year in the death pool.

This is how it starts. Then in April we will have headlines "Millions killed when Mt Everest somehow detaches from the ground and becomes airborne, landing violently on a large metropolitan area"

I would like to place a unique bet: that there is going to be another physical fight on the mountain this year. Someone is going to have their rear end(es) kicked on Mt. Everest. Bonus points if it's a tourist vs Sherpa throw down like the one that happened a few years back

I'd love to hear the story behind this.

It was the Great Everest Brawl of April '13

Yeah Steck is probably the greatest climber since Messner and the whole story sounds like miscommunication mixing with very high tension and general resentment from Sherpas due to the way the tourists had been taking them for granted over the years. Steck certainly wouldn't treat Sherpas badly and just happened to piss them off when they were already ready to snap.

The whole thing sounds like people Kicking Each Others Asses on the loving highest mountain in the world you stupid bitch idiot

I was climbing in the Tatras in Poland at the end of February, and the Polish people I was with were hard as nails and terrifyingly fearless.

I read this as "climbing the tatas"

There's a lot of snowmobile idiots where I live, they all go out as a huge group, and usually all hit the same slope at the same time, and then you get 5 people dying when an avalanche takes everyone in the group out.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/avalanche-deaths-of-5-snowmobilers-preventable-expert-says-1.3433105

Like how hard is it to take turns so that if an avalanche occurs there's multiple people available to dig the poor fucker out of it?

I have a feeling that this may be the intersection of snowmobiles and alcohol

Well, this seems like as good a thread as any to point out that there was a man called Major Butts on the Titanic

I want the next world war to be fought primarily in the Himalayas. I want hypoxic soldiers with modern weaponry to double the height of Everest with a mound of garbage, corpses and human feces
