Wtf, this is exactly why we should count sherpas, because the assholes don't count them as worthy and they deserve to be recognised for the dangerous work they do

I didn't exactly mean it that way, but good point nonetheless.

One Sherpa should be valued as two or three rich assholes because they actually have some worth in all this.

"It seems that people have this warped idea of vegans being malnourished and weak," Dr Strydom said in March. "By climbing the seven summits we want to prove that vegans can do anything and more."

Err, probably better ways to do that than feed yourself to the mountain.

Yeah, last year's total was high because of the avalanche at base camp, many keep base camp and above as counting.

Change the numbers to "Rich people" and "Total People"

If you apply the same attitude to sherpas that we do to their customers, the sherpas are mercenaries complicit in covering their own sacred mountain in trash and corpses so we might as well count them all together

How are the soylent guys doing? I'm hoping they all got wiped out.

They're doing their summit push now. They were supposed to rest for a few more days but the forecast looked perfect so they cut the rest period short.
They're at C1/North Col/7000m as of their last video but they should be on their way to C3/7900m today(Everest Time).

Because now days people summit in tourist coach sized parties perhaps the more important achievement is dying on Everest.

First Celtic Vegan to die on Everest (etc.)

Obviously this means we too have become part of the problem but what's the desecration of a holy mountain against a few cheap laughs?

Originally from Africa, the experienced climber had previously supported a ban on novice climbers tackling Mount Everest. In the past eight years Dr Strydom had scaled Denali in Alaska, Aconcagua in Argentina, Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey, and Kilimanjaro in Africa.

"We've all heard stories of frostbite and having to turn around from excessive waiting times due to inexperienced people blocking routes," she said in March. "This can lead to life-threatening situations and death where Sherpas and other climbers have to risk their lives to attempt rescues."

My mustache makes me sexy, not the hat

Sherpas are assholes profiting off the Mountain's thirst. They aren't people, they are demons to the glorious Mountain.

Those Sherpas who die have displeased their Master and have been returned to the hell which they came.

The base camp avalanche and Khumba Icefall Avalanches occurred as the Mountain finally enacted its revenge at the Sherpas for chasing Ueli Steck and his friends off the Mountain before it could feed on their delicious blood and souls.

The Mountain remembers. The Mountain will have its revenge. Blood for the Mountain God.


PS Didn't we already have the Sherpa's aren't people debate? I'm pretty sure I counted them as 3/5 in my deathpool vote.

You and me both buddy, our next door neighbour but one had a really annoying barky dog that would interminably bark ALL GODDAMN DAY, after 2 hours of it barking away while I was trying to relax in the garden I had some Very Bad Thoughts about this dog. Couple of days later I saw them carrying it to their car and driving away. The dog didn't come back with them. :/

Please keep two separate tallies (shitlords/sherpas) and argue about which number matters for the deathpool after climbing season.

Ha, do you know it has never occurred to me. I also managed to curse a boy that was bullying me into breaking his arm. My nan always went on that one of our distant relatives was the last witch in England to be burned at the stake (probably bullshit TBF), so I assume I have some passive powers mingling in my shriveled heart.
