Chicken and egg. Only a guy like that would scale a mountain where you hire servants to carry you up and queue for the summit

If the guy were a character in a cautionary parable, the emperor would order him taken back up the mountain and left there.

The sherpa story is one of the biggest news in Malaysia now because the guy has made a bunch of media appearances exaggerating elements of his climb where the sherpa rescuing him would wreck the narrative https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1665372949250027523?t=qYTIGbdopT2FrI-4d33Uww&s=19 https://twitter.com/amerhadiazmi/status/1665296207994912769?t=D47AJ0I7odsD8glDwwohuQ&s=19 https://twitter.com/likweis/status/1665493973727858688?t=Q9Esk1-ch9Lim2P9q3-VCw&s=19 (thread)

Sherpas blame erratic weather caused by climate change. The government of Nepal has closed the case as unsolvable.

This dude, who was probably summiting Everest as a loving dick-swinging exercise, was immobile and shivering in the death zone when Gelje Sherpa comes along, scoops him up like a backpack and wears him down the mountain - probably on his 4th summit this season or something equally mad. Dude got absolutely dunked in the manhood department and is failing to acknowledge Gelje in a futile attempt to sooth his fragile masculinity. It’s very amusing. Also Sherpas are superhuman and awesome.

Facebook Aunt posted:How did that guy end up alone there? He keeps thanking his team, but they left him? I think he don't remember much from his rescue. Brain need oxygen, and yes they left for dead at the balcony. Quote: The biggest viral video of the season was Gelje Sherpa carrying a sick Malaysian climber whose team had abandoned him on the Balcony. Gelje had to ask his Chinese client to give up his summit bid before he carried the ailing climber on his shoulders to Camp 4. There, another group of sherpas took a shift and carried him to Camp 3. Here, helicopters airlifted him from the mountain in a long-line operation. In camp 4 he might got oxygen some medicine and a hot drink reviving him some. And from there his team rescued him. Now his story made headlines over the world, so no excuses for him not looking up his own rescue and inform himself.

I'm the highest human, because I'm posting from the summit of Mount Chimborazo in South America, and I'm at least two kilometers higher than any of those chumps on Everest.
