 Is it illegal to take a body off Everest if it's clear no one wants it

 it's fine and ok for people to be interested in summiting vs. just climbing

it's also fine for sherpas to have a different view

K2 is a terrifying mountain of death but I don't get nearly as much schadenfreude out of watching people die on it because the people who try to climb it are at least people who care about climbing mountains, versus Everest where most everyone up there is a retard bucket-lister who only wants to summit so they can take a picture and make a tweet about "woo made it to the top #summit #everest #yolo" and brag about it back home to pretend to be interesting.

as long as you understand that they're still a 100x more interesting than the kind of person who posts stuff like this

You heard it here first, folks! If someone is not literally a slave, they can't be exploited!

WHEW. That's a loving relief. We can all stop feeling guilty about how billions of people in impoverished countries are treated by Western consumers, businesses, and governments. As long as they're not actually enslaved, it's all OK!

You've really set all of our minds at ease, Cliff Racer. Thank you.

lol what are you like irl

I fuckeing hope that all of the mountain fags die. :twisted: I'm better than them because I sit at my computer any day and never attempt to accomplish anything.

At least some of the posters in this thread genuinely believe they're more interesting and capable than anyone climbing everest

I think you're overestimating the occurrence of towns on I40 through the panhandle.

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.

I got pulled over for 72 in a 70 (I was actually going 70) outside Amarillo because I dared to drive with an out of state license plate. Got boxed in by 4 cop cars for a few minutes before one of them turned his lights on and pulled me over.
