George H.W. oval office posted:Are you actually doing support work or is it “supporting” in that you’re there in the area hanging out and could identify the body? Honestly unsure? I'm more than happy to help haul poo poo but I'm pretty sure there's paid help for that, so mostly just going up to the base camp, staying a night there, getting some pictures and enjoying the stay for a bit, then peacing out before the dangerous stuff?

Has anyone tried telling these people that there's no requirement to climb a mountain and you don't get anything for it in the real world at all?

You can get one or both kinds of edema, you can get frostbite, you can get left for dead. There are all kinds of tangible rewards.

You can also impress the heck out of the middle manager you report to, who will announce it in the next staff meeting and your co-workers will all have to pretend to be very impressed! You'll be golfing with the junior VP in no time.

Nenonen posted:I want the world's deepest cave to become a similar attraction to Everest, with the dumbest white people on Earth being guided by Georgian cave sherpas in a queue to the bottom. Been reading a bunch of cave diving stuff and it reminds me a lot of reading about everest. particularly the death of Dave Shaw which isnt really cave exploration but just diving really deep (in a sinkhole) and then having similar crisis to mountaineering but because of extreme high pressure.

Macabre thought, but I wonder how much clean up would be done if everyone took just a chunk of some discarded bodies and materials every descent. Obviously removing things whole is a lot of effort for one's altitude-dying body, but what if you just took a boot? The moral and ethical implications would mean this will never work, of course.

People don't do it for the material rewards, it's all about the sense of utterly fulfillment when you finally achieve that hardest of feats, joining in on the utterly wild Yeti orgy that's going on up on the peak, 24/7. That's what "summiting" Everest is all about.

Sad that Jim Morrison didn't start belting out The End during this. Also, is Rob Hall's body still up on Everest? Did someone at least bury him in snow or something if he still is up there?

Is this the one where they eventually do the reveal where the guy is all "well I got into 8000ers when I was massively traumatized by the sudden death of my entire family. The ever present risk of random death calms me down."? e: yup e2: all that and the skiing doesn't even look good.

I'm too lazy to check if I asked this already, but are there any fundamental Everest books or documentaries y'all would recommend? I'm buying Into Thin Air, but what else? I'm quite bad at serialized television so books or movies are preferable. Thanks!
