yeah, didn't the porters all go on strike sometime last year or the year before because the weather was unseasonably bad and there had been fatal accidents, but cashed up westerners were trying to proceed with their tourist climbs?

A whole bunch of sherpas died and the others ended the season out of solidarity.

after years of watching everest be a tourist trap for rich idiots with egos, this years thread is a straight up death pool (just for the tourists though, sherpa deaths aren't part of it because they are just doing their jobs and sherpa deaths are still a tragedy)

tallest and slowest

high altitude mountains feature "icefalls", ie glaciers flowing over rough / steep terrain. the ice breaks into slabs and shards and is constantly in slow motion, albeit more of a punctuated equilibrium slow

most routes up mountains like everest have to cross at least one section of icefall and it is a great place to die by falling into an ice crevasse or getting crushed when a piece of ice the size of a house suddenly shifts. that's the scenario where your body will eventually be delivered to the bottom (probably ground to little pieces)

eh, it's one of those things where a careful and well-trained person is actually very safe. and it's really, really amazing when you get over the technical hurdles and get comfortable with it

this i have no problem believing. i grew up on jacques cousteau and national geographic books about cool poo poo under the water. for a while, my favorite super hero was aquaman, because he could swim really well and breathe under water (not because of anything he did; just the abilities seemed amazing to me)

unfortunately, i am an enormous coward, and always have been

if i wound up in "defending your life", they wouldn't even need a trial before throwing me back

there's one fatal flaw in your theory: it's not a Rolex so it won't present as a status symbol, and it's 100 bucks so it's not really going to pull duty as a flashy piece of jewelry anyway.

Heya, does this watch have a movement? I'm not looking for hands to tell the time but ideally it would keep proper time.
