People have a right to make their own choices and if that's to attempt to enter the death zone with death inducing conditions that's their choice.

That right kind of ends where other people's right to not die begins, though. These idiots get more than themselves killed.

Yeah for sure, Sherpas should have a hard policy of immediately leaving tourists if they ignore recommendations.

Nowhere near the same, but we live at sea level and went to CO last year and did a few hikes around Denver. The first one we did was literally a road that has been turned into a park, not even bad, it's at 1821m (5975') elevation and only 2 miles long. The very beginning of the trail is a 200' rise in elevation over 3/4 mile or so.

It was our 2nd day there and I wanted to loving die.

i also live at sea level and just did a tour around eastern tajikistan. the 4k/4.5k km area was generally fine since i wasn't doing much of anything, but i definitely had to pee way more during that bit. the 2.5k bit where i had to hike was death. 5km with an unknown elevation gain, but compounded by it being less a recreational hiking trail and more just the only route to the villages on the other end. switchbacks and flat sections aren't really a thing--the trail just charges ahead for long unbroken stretches at 30% grade

Are your numbers referring to altitude? It's a bit difficult for me to understand what you were doing.

I know I've suggested it before and the Sherpas would lose their poo poo, but I'm still waiting for a couple of assholes to be the first to gently caress on the summit. Hell, I'm surprised Youporn or someone hasn't sponsored it.

What puzzles me is that they do. They want the money, sure. But when they get to the point where the more experienced people running the show go "In my professional opinion, you are going to die on a mountain if you don't turn back now", why do they take no for an answer? Why not say, that's it, we're not not doing this anymore, we're going no further, we're not carrying your stuff, it's over?

I think at the high altitude stuff you can barely shuffle forward on your own much less force someone to do something.

I'm gonna turn back within sight of the summit, you should too gets met with noooo I'm so close. Shrug and shuffle down.

When I finally got internet access on my phone in one of the towns, freaking Tinder started lighting up. Based on the distance, there was a party going on at base camp.

I'd guess it will happen sooner than later, and it will open a whole slew of new records. First summit penetration, first summit orgasm, first summit orgasm without supplemental oxygen, first summit female orgasm, first child conceived at the summit without supplemental oxygen, first winter summit gangbang with greater than 7 participants...

I was checking out Kick just to see what was on there and found this dude called Ice Poseidon who is live-streaming his entire hike to Everest base camp. It blows my mind that this is even possible. I haven’t read these threads in a few years but I immediately thought of you guys and wanted to share:

https://kick.com/iceposeidon

He just ate breakfast and is about to hit the trail!

e: holy poo poo this is the most surreal content i’ve ever seen. this vaguely lovely and stupid man keeps walking into peoples houses and talking to them like they’re npc’s. he’s been ripped off by every vendor he’s encountered. it’s like watching a bizarro world skyrim stream

e2: lmaooooo holy gently caress he didn’t know about acclimatization days. he encountered a couple hiking down and told them he was gonna just hike everyday and they looked horrified lmao

e3: he just demanded a marker from his sherpas to deface a bridge by signing it. they all quickly said they don’t have one and and exchanged glances. they’re been very polite but i’m pretty sure they hate him. i mean, evidently they didn’t tell him about acclimatization days so they possibly hate him enough to let him die.

e4: well the stream went out cause they went thru a valley (maybe?) so i went on youtube to see what else he’s done and lol:

https://youtu.be/ELw8rMks9Vc

e5: omg stream came back on and the first thing i see is ice poseidon telling a random hiker that he wants to get his dick sucked at base camp. the hiker politely laughed and said that wasn’t his experience at base camp and goes on to tell ice about the base camp bathroom with the 55 gallon drum toilets that get carted out. ice says he won’t poo poo in a bucket he’ll just poo poo off the side of the mountain. the hiker patiently explains the sanitation issues base camp has suffered in the past and ice goes “well since everyone else stopped making GBS threads on the mountain it won’t matter if just i do it”.

i’m losing my mind i really thought i was sharing a stream about a genuine hiking enthusiast

e6: ok last edit, the stream is up on youtube as well and you can rewind the stream. i started watching when the time in the upper left was about 9am:

"Get permafrozen banging on the summit of Everest so people have to deal with that when they summit" is probably a niche enough kink, but if you have that one I'm going to guess the cost of a 50k permit won't stop you...

When I last saw it was at 120bpm which is pretty normal for long distance endurance sports. 120bpm would be what a cyclist could easily hold all day on a 100+ mile ride.

The health range is all over the place from 40 all the way up to 180+. Resting heart rate is like 40-60 depending on level of athleticism and age.

With this goober though, when he stops, his heart rate should be able to slow down as he rests. I just assumed his heart rate monitor was broken, haha.
