Nice Tuckpointing!
Nov 3, 2005

I just randomly scrubbed through the vid and he's lying down in a lodge and the sherpa says his condition is "Not too bad, not too good. It's normal, ha ha." And then leaves the room like he can't get out fast enough, and Ice says in a perfect, "What?" like he is so lost. But then he talks about the medicines he plans to take like that's all is required.

My wife had debilitating headaches from altitude sickness when we were in Peru and it sucks rear end. She never truly recovered until we were back down to sea level. Dude is in for a rotten time. His headache might subside a little with sleep but the instant he exerts himself it will come back with a vengeance. Probably isn’t hydrating either lol

Here's the timestamp where he has his oxygen read, and the sherpa said 73%, then said 71% with a HR of 96% when Icepiss was sat on his hotel bed. He's planning on being woken up at 5am to make the final trek to base camp and then be helicoptered out of there.

I don't think he has the money to have a rest day, as the last of his physical cash went on this hotel room and food for the night.

I guess that's already paid for. He was expecting there to be cashpoint machines all the way to base camp to pay for day to day expenses.

A bit later in the stream he's looking very ill and being very demanding of his Sherpa slave - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmbo7JmYeLc&t=32111s

Really, would be funny if he didn't have enough cash to take a heli back and had to walk down, don't think they'll let him starve but he'd be slumming it the whole way down

Didn't watch the stream today and hardly at all yesterday because they couldn't stream during the hikes which I find most interesting.

Yeah, if I understand it correctly it's too expensive to stream the whole way since they would need to keep buying everest link credits. 30gb per card seems like a lot but not if you're streaming 24/7

There is surely a way to get cash or like SMS-based equivalent in these villages that this doofus just didn't look up before going. The MO for the hike up to base camp is surely not "bring tons of cash with you".

In this timestamp, the Sherpa talks about the helicopter ride, and seems to be expecting IceP to walk or be carried by horse back to the village they just passed. because it has a helipad AND a hospital

IceP says "No way"... he hasn't come all this way to not get to base camp.

there's a helicopter scheduled to bring down the missing climbers if found, maybe ice can hop in with them. meanwhile explain to them he 'just wanted to see base camp'.

im sure the base camp people would love a self obsessed and altitude sick streamer showing up right now with all the chaos that's happening this week

nosebleeds are a common symptom of the least serious form of altitude sickness. It doesn't mean you have HACE/HAPE

That guy's up by the Hillary Step? Very near the summit. This is an unprecedented rescue attempt? You always hear above 8,000 meters people have to be left because the rescuers would die in the attempt.

HACE is the ultimate conclusion of the Altitude sickness -> Acute mountain sickness response. HAPE is a different but related physiological progression. This is the former.

Nepalese law requires helicopter pilots to use supplemental oxygen at altitudes over 10,000 feet because they are not pressurized. Hypoxia can develop in less than a minute, and if that happens to a pilot it guarantees a crash.

Icepiss is awake and on cam, and just stated he's on 69% oxygen. It's snowing outside, and he still thinks he's going to be hiking to base camp, mentioning "It's just a 6 hour hike".... :allears: ... and "It's only an issue of the oxygen drops below 65%"

I saw one of the readings on the blood oxygen monitor on cam in the last stream, and it was as the guide said it was. If anything, he's trying to downplay it as he's ignoring some very strong hints from Deepak and others.

I would really prefer if you would be quiet.
Was he really banned from twitch over being swatted on a plane? I think it's weird that they would ban you for something somebody did to you, or maybe they blamed him for streaming on a plane that invited such an easy target.

I remember when he was still on twitch, he just walked around and talked to people and was an idiot, so nothing has changed

Edit: yeah, his ban was because he was an idiot and openly broadcast all of the information about his flight details making it super easy for him to get swatted at a loving airport

And it was not his first time being swatted, so he definitely should have known to be more cautious by then

Nose bleeds are normal, especially if the air is dry. Your nose is sensitive. When the seasons change here and the heat goes on, the dry heat will give you nosebleeds , you just don’t always notice unless you blow your nose. This is at sea level.

Edit: ice piss better not gently caress over Deepak.

True. Nosebleeds can also a symptom of breathing air dryer than you are used to. I used to live in the Rockies at 1,120 m and had way more nosebleeds there than when living in high humidity at sea level.

There's a lot of stuff on everest that stresses your body in weird ways without being HACE/HAPE.

They might not have enough money for food during their confinement to the hotel room, so this could be like a high altitude version of the hunger games

Icepiss is eating pringles in front of the others, saying that HE has enough money for two meals, and laughing.

Deepak is saying "We are all scared"

Icepiss is just laughing and eating pringles.
