The carefully laid out weeks in advance tourist route doesn't actually go straight up the face of Everest does it, they only cross over to the everest peak after camp 3. You should be proud that mankind was able make it trivial, but you have to admit that if someone was to tackle the direct route up, only using everests face it would be far from a casual stroll.

Jesus, this related video is insane. He's just trucking along with no ropes to save him as casually as most people walk down the sidewalk, and one little fuckup means he'll have plenty of time to think about what went wrong while he's falling for a mile. I got a little queasy watching it.

Which is now sort of sad to browse through, isn't it. I always thought it'd be really neat to visit one of those Everest inns and not climb the drat thing, but just take in the amazing view of the Himalayas as I vomit into a bag from altitude sickness.

Wasabi the J posted:Careful with that praise -- he's the evilest white man on Everest according to some of the GBSers here. gently caress that; Ueli is amazing, and entirely against perpetuating any kind of sherpa exploitation since he's not interested in anything but his own mad kind of self-supporting alpine assault. Madcosby posted:whats the gbs opposition to steck? that eiger climb is insane and he must have ridiculous trust in his grip and his equipment Of course, he did get in a fight with a group of sherpas, after knocking ice on them from up above, while doing his own thing. Current status of Camp 1 and 2 has most of the remaining people on C2 now down to C1 awaiting the first heli evac window on the 27th between 0700-1200hr. I'm guessing they'll just ferry them to BC as quickly as possible, as there is ~100 people to move, with most only having 1-2 days of supplies remaining. The man in charge of the evac from C1 is Captain Dick Gale, and I approve of his name.
