Behold, the lav! They're gonna carry all the poo poo back from base camp, on a Yak. So...that's nice, I guess!

We can only hope Tim Medvitz gets good coverage of it. And dies inside of it. e: Did anyone sidebet death for Medvitz?

Do the climbers carry lose leaf tea or tea bags? This is important to me.

One of them has a dark toe section and the other doesnt. It's not just coloration. The size thing you're getting at may be right, but they're definitely different boots.

He's part of Tim Medvitz's expedition which I think are all combat veterans who have lost body parts in action, so I'll bet it's a prosthetic. Can't help feeling they'll be losing more under Tim's 'care' too. Edit vvvv I thought that too. Maybe it starts next year..vvvv Rondette fucked around with this message at 17:26 on May 1, 2016 |

I thought Nepal wasn't letting disabled people climb the mountain?

Cojawfee posted:I thought Nepal wasn't letting disabled people climb the mountain? The only articles I can find after a cursory search (now I'm not phone posting) say that they were 'considering it' in September last year, but I can't find anything after that. Given the pathetic way they appeared to handle the Sherpa situation in that film, it doesn't surprise me that nothing further was done. http://www.outsideonline.com/2020966/what-everest-climbing-restrictions-mean quote:On Monday, the Nepali government announced a major step in keeping Everest safer: it will consider placing restrictions on age, experience, and ability on those who can climb the world’s highest peak. “We want to make the mountains safer for everyone, so we have to insist on some rules,” tourism department chief Govinda Karki told the AFP.

Maybe they should only let disabled people and alpineers climb Everest? The not disabled people aren't proving anything at this point by being number whatever thousand to reach the top, the disabled folks get legitimate nice accomplishment to feel good about, and crowding goes way down.

It says disabled persons who can't climb on their own, which makes sense because someone who needs to be carried up on a litter probably should give up on their dream of being a 'mountain climber'.

Not Everest but still featuring well aged climbcicles: http://www.news.com.au/world/north-...8bc4fa3afa8443b quote:THE bodies of two climbers killed 16 years ago after an avalanche hit them have been found in a melting glacier.

I suppose it wouldn't matter if South Africa were not a country. But it is, and if you say "south Africa", even with an uncapitalized 'south', it refers to the country.

In other Himalayan news, Shishapangma struck early - three guys fell in a crevasse and two of them died. The crevasse was snowed over and they were just sitting on it, eating lunch or something, when the snow bridge went. Also several people including a 77 year old summitted Annapurna in the past couple days.

Just watched Sherpa, Brice does really come across poorly in it. To me though it seemed less about racism, more about capitalism and power. He brings to mind the owner/operator of a dangerous mine or something, desperate to stop his workers striking after an accident and long term, stop them unionising, both lying to them to sow discord and mistrust and throwing the odd bone (writing to the ministry etc) to put them off attempting collective bargining.

What forensics team is gonna risk life and limb to go up the mountain to try and retrieve trampled over and ruined evidence on corpse mountain. Its like looking for a specific needle in a needle haystack.

Brice came across as pretty much a dick mostly worried about his business, but the bullshit he told his team about the fear of reprisal if they climbed was obviously just his excuse because he didn't know how to be straight up with his clients. Pretty typical excuse to invent an outside force so he can say "We want to go, the sherpas want to go, but we can't because..." I think it's loving stupid to not just be as honest as possible about something like that, but I think he honestly did it in a well-meaning way, despite how stupid it is. Sumit Joshi, Nepali expedition operator posted:I think the expedition organisers, they knew in their heart what their Sherpa wants, but they couldn't tell that clearly to their clients. It's just excuses they are using to throw the blame on somebody else. This dude sums it up perfectly straight after that part of the movie. I also thought Tim Medvitz had like, the most sensible reaction to the news, but I haven't seen any of the other stuff with him in it.

Yeah, the problem is their client base is people who use lots of money to get what they want, and are firmly of the belief that the money can overcome all other obstacles because that's how their life usually works. They've earned it and safety rules aren't gonna stand in their way *because* they've earned it.
