I assume if you pay enough you can use satellite uplinks at the camps because I thought the youngest-oops-the-sherpas-all-died-so-now-I'll-be-the-youngest-white-Australian girl was posting updates from the mountain when she still thought the sherpas were going to be cool with 1/3 of their friends dying and would get right back to rigging the mountain up for rich dumb foreigners.

Congrats death pool, even with an over saturation of entries you still probably underestimated this years reaping.

Somehow I get the feeling China doesn't want any more international tourists going to Tibet than they can background check and inspect their gear shipments.

dj_clawson posted:I am totally loving determined to go to Everest on the Tibetan side, which is a reasonable goal if you are traveling in that general area. Climb it? How much before you've technically "climbed" something? 10 feet? 20 feet? What if I said, "Climbed without summitting"? Also maybe examine the use of reasonable when taking a poo poo at 17k feet would be the most exercise done at once for a large portion of the first world. Vvvv Wasn't a dig at you,just that a statistical term like reasonable breaks down when recommending a trip to high altitude that would severely strain an average american just being there zedprime fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Apr 29, 2015 |

Cocaine eyedrops sounds like wacky Wall Street hijinks but is probably one of the least worrisome medicines back in the day. I would love to see a gritty reboot of Oregon Trail where everyone ends up addicted to opiates from all the dysentery treatment. zedprime fucked around with this message at 16:02 on May 8, 2015 |

This is more generally the extreme sports thread, and things don't get more extreme than a callousy handy.

That nagging in the back of his head about his spare tire is probably enough mental priming that could stick in his subconscious despite oxygen deprivation so that he would listen to the sherpa who tells him to turn around at Camp 4 cause his beer belly is hogging all the oxygen. So he's got a step up over a theoretical twin who wants to be the first travelling salesman with ACl surgery in beer league hockey and tennis to summit. But then his final edit gets worrying amounts of unsound positivity so who knows.

Cliff Racer posted:Not pictured: the local cop who is desperate to bring some money, ANY MONEY, into his little town by way of traffic tickets. But don't worry, he's out there, hiding behind a rock or something just waiting to get you. Its a really surreal drive. You could be driving 90mph and feel like you're going nowhere because there are so few landmarks, and also because the locals are all going 120.
