Thread: should I waste all my money and get a Sherpa to drag my worthless rear end up Everest? Only I’m having a midlife crisis and it’s the only thing that will help.

What if you took a heater to melt ice to make air? There's plenty of H2O free for the taking. You'd need something small and light, so maybe one of those radioactive soviet heaters.

Now there's a plan. Crack the core up on the summit, be the first person to die of radiation poisoning in the death zone -and- make the summit uninhabitable for humans for the next 10k years.

Has anyone made a Everest PC game in the style of Oregon Trail? Like you start outfitting your expedition in a REI in the Bay Area and instead of buying 12 oxen, you buy sherpas. I want to load up my team named entirely after all of my ex-girlfriends with nothing but grandfather clocks and bacon and head up the mountain and die of HAPE.

There's a mountain-climbing game out called Insurmountable but I doubt it'll let you caulk your wagon to get up the Hillary Step.

Dying at the peak means spending the exact amount of effort needed to reach the top and nothing more. It's peak efficiency imho.

Thursday Next posted:I got turned on to a book centered around Everest called Summit, by Harry Farthing. It's fiction, but it's extremely well-researched, and plays an interesting what-if game with the first summiters being members of the Nazi party. It goes into pretty good detail on the British colonialism aftereffects in Nepal, as well as covering why mountaineering was such a big deal at the time. Two complaints I cant get over, but expected because its a thriller: -Sauron/Saran/the French dude: I feel like he overstayed his welcome the moment he assembled this international manhunt scheme - the '39 protagonist and the jewish gal presumably boning hours after she figures out hes a nazi but still likes him because reasons. - the nazis and their weird love of cinematic theatrics when doing dramatic things which feels like a meme at this point Gonna see if I can force myself to get through the final third of it. The more grounded stuff is really interesting and I think the book shines when the involved characters are climbing. Anyway I got 2 more books on audible which are nonfiction, one called K2 by Ed Viesturs, David Roberts and Ascent into Hell by Fergus White. Ive gotten a bit into both already but the latter has convinced me that mountaineering at high altitudes and eating local food guarantees apocalyptic levels of pants pooping, hershey squirts, and projectile vomiting.

Dan Simmons also seems to have written an Everest horror novel called "The Abominable", which includes nazi zombies. I stopped reading Simmons after his sudden chud turn so I've no idea how it is but Amazon reviews, despite an apparent average high rating, are pretty negative.
