Internet Kraken posted:Saddest thing about Mt. Everest to me is that its littered with discarded trash now. People talk about how its such a beautiful place but then you see pictures of all the stuff climbers have left behind on it in their quest for the top. So yeah, even if you succeed in reaching one of the most remarkable places on the planet, in the process you've tarnished it further and ruined its natural splendor. The whole thing is a testament to greed. Spend a ridiculous amount of cash, get pulled up a slope, throw crap on it before stumbling back down. Trash and poo poo. It is the frozen Ganges

midnightclimax posted:There was a british guy whose plan was to crash-land on Everest, and then walk the rest to the top. Of course he had neither experience in flying nor climbing. Yea but I imagine he believed in himself so he was perfectly qualified. When is someone going to climb with a pressurized suit? Have a long hose from camp 4 and be fine

It always terrified me that they cross those ladders by using their crampons to bridge the gap between rungs. Otherwise your foot is more or less suspended over air

Instead of imposing a $4000 fine for not bringing down enough trash they should make them climb back up and retrieve some. Of course then there might be 180lb of trash on the mountain but I feel the risk is worth it.

I had a dream last night where I was waiting to climb everest but it was closed due to rain. Decided it wasn't worth it and went to pee at a nearby gas station.

Picnic Princess posted:This is exactly it. I've told this story before on the forums, but it's kind of interesting so I'll tell again. I was on my way down from a fairly easy peak called East End of Rundle in the Canadian Rockies, and there was a thunderstorm approaching when I was still above treeline. I was trying to get back into the trees quickly at least before it hit because lightning is a major concern out in the open. There was a section of trail that traversed a cliff band that wasn't difficult at all, it was straight and flat, but it was a cliff band. Steep drop off on the left. There was a great view of a lake valley ahead of me and I was paying more attention to it than my feet. I was with my husband, who was walking ahead of me telling me a story about work. Just as he turned around to make some hand gestures, I strayed enough off the path that my foot stepped on the edge of the path and it crumbled away. I pretty much fell headfirst over the side of the cliff. I remember just saying fairly calmly "oh my god" and then a bunch of blurry moments as I tumbled head over heels down a rocky face. It was only 15 feet, but it felt a lot farther and longer than that. This story is all people need to know as to why people climb and risk death for these insane mountains. There's just something in you that drives you to do it. Sure it might be a death wish, but damnit you're going to do it

If that Canadian lady could get up and partly down the mountain by training on a stair master then anyone can do it. She was just dumb and didn't go down when was advisable

rotinaj posted:I wonder which drive would be nicer to make there. Someday I wanna do something like that. When I was a kid we took a 7 month trip around the US. Started in Virginia, went north, then down and around all the way up to Alaska, then back down to hit everything in the middle of the country on our way to Texas. It absolutely owned and I wish to do it with my own family some day.
