Judakel posted:RIP From walking to base camp and back in 3 weeks? I hope not. I'm neither wealthy nor stupid enough to climb that stupid mountain. I'm just walking to base camp have a look around (there will be nothing there really in november), walk up Kalla Patthar for some nice views and turn around back to Lukla.

blackcross posted:Thought of you guys earlier. I'm doing the EBC trek right now and on the way from Thukla to Louboche, we passed the climbers memorials. So of course I had to look for our favorite Canadian, Shriya Shah Klorfine. I'm doing the trek in the fall. Would you mind giving me a few hints/tipps on what to expect/what to do/what to bring and what to leave back home?

Picnic Princess posted:So Everest has been open for what, a week? And already 3 dead tourists. If this was a real themepark it would be shut down already. The climbing season is almost over. If it stays this way it will be seen as a good year. Lets just hope the mountain is not on a crash diet and that it won't have a cheat-day before the season ends.
