shadow puppet of a posted:Very sad to learn of the senseless mountaintop passing of Alexander Doba on reddit and not here because you terds wont shut up about lame filler tv on Netflix and wont get back to celebrating wholly unnecessary gloryhound peril fetishists getting their lumps. A septuagenarian dying of hape on the child mountain for children. Big whoop. Should've stuck to literal sea level.

You have a hole in the bottom you dangle your butthole out for pooping and can also double as a fishing hole

Dude just climbed up a mountain and diedquote:The wild-bearded Polish super-kayaker Aleksander Doba died as he lived, in pursuit of adventure, passing away on the very summit of Mount Kilimanjaro at the age of 74. Who knows how true this account is but that sounds like a pretty dope life and a satisfying ending to it.

I would like to try it out in a storm. Years of family vacations that consisted of driving everywhere and me sleeping all the time has trained my brain to fall asleep when in a car as well as ignore my vestibular system so I don't really get motion sickness and have terrible balance.

Lol at the title, thank youUncle Enzo posted:I hope and pray that my passing is as peaceful. Climb a mountain in good spirits, feeling good, sit down to rest and bam you're gone. No nursing home, no strangers wiping your rear end, no seeing the stress in your kids eyes as they labor to feed and house and care for you. A clean ending on your own terms. I can definitely see the appeal here, and the nice thing about being dead is you don't have to feel ashamed at making someone haul your dead rear end all the way down the tallest mountain in Africa No part of that sentence is intended as sarcasm

Huh. I very rarely get motion sickness and am also a clumsy unbalanced person. Is this a recognized thing? Just need one more data point to establish a rock solid inarguable correlation before we publish.

I am clumsy, but have good balance, and never get motion sick. We can start making some extremely conclusive analysis at this point.

I wonder if the old dude had croaked in the Everest summit, would they leave his corpse in the summit or drag his corpse all the way back? I understand that the Nepalis won't (probably) just toss him down the mountain...

Would just they leave corpses at the very summit, though? I'd thought they at least hide it somewhere.

Stack them shits up on top of green boots and be able to claim the highest summit record You could even make a rival summit made of bodies. Charge admission.

My understanding is that they try to push corpses off the main routes and into crevasses or other such hiding places whenever possible. Not sure why Green Boots didn't get the same treatment for so long, but they'd definitely do that for anyone who died near the summit nowadays.

The Walrus posted:Nobody gets brought down. Yeah, I assumed he got brought down from Kilimanjaro because it's a whole lot lower and it's a hike down with no climbing. Possibly they could have helicoptered him down as well, or walked him down partway and choppered the rest. None of the articles I found said anything one way or another.

If somebody died on the very top, their body would get blown off by the wind at some point regardless of what humans wanted to do with it. Bodies like green boots stick around because they happen to be in particular spots where they won't get blown off by wind, avalanched off by snow, or fall off as part of a rock fall.
