Anyone who wants to know more about climbing K2, Alan Arnette wrote about it on his blog when he summited in 2014. Two entries in particular are well worth a read, A Summit of Unknowns:quote:Only an hour out of Camp 4 at 25,500 feet on K2, I was dying. and Descending is the Real Climb: quote:I pulled my knees against my chest and hugged them as I looked ahead. I could now see base camp, 6,000 feet below. I let my head rest against my knees. I was finished. I was done. It was over. gently caress if I am ever doing something like that.

i wonder if theres a market for explicit everest death. some people spend a lot of time and money on their own funeral arrangements. how many of these folks would pay a few hundred grand to give up the ghost on the everest summit and become a permanent part of the mountain i wonder youd have to be prepared to work a little harder getting cancer patients and poo poo to the summit but thats just part of doing business

Yo people, the Nepalese government is allegedly putting restrictions in place so only highly qualified rich people will die on the mountain. I'd bet the under.

More tourist areas need to figure out how to get the rich to pay a lot of money to get killed there Bonus points if the locals don't die as well

OK, who was this? https://twitter.com/HashtagEverest/status/693622069154570240 By the way, to those playing the game: you get more points by taking pictures with dumb useless bullshit. Stop being tryhards and take more dumb useless bullshit with you. I'm also going to push an update soon because I realize I misspelled "western cwm," might also need to include a feature that allows the player to check the actual death pool in-game.

No deaths. This is the year mankind fully conquers the mountain. No one will ever die on Everest again, and in a few decades, we'll be taking our grandchildren up the covered escalator as a day trip and taking a fun slide down.

He was eleven, said, "I don't want to be the one to keep you from achieving your dream" then promptly had a nightmare about her and his stepfather Sergei dying on the mountain in a blizzard, called her up and begged her not to go, but she was all, "No, you were right, I gotta do this thing!" and they both died on the descent. Mountaineers are hosed up shitheads when they get married and have kids. im gonna say 17, and I hope none of them are Sherpas.
