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

Just do a Sandy Pittman and have a nubile young sherpa short-rope you all the way to the summit.

#Everest has a new build available with a bunch of bugfixes, a few new features, and the latest death pool predictions as a secret easter egg that will only be visible while you are in the depths of madness. You can download it here


It just gives me a pop-up window telling me I'm not running the latest version, and I should go to the website and download it. :(

I'll have a look at that, might be a caching issue with our server. Regardless, the game should still start after you click OK in the window! Let me know if it doesn't as that'd be a serious bug!

(If it really won't start the game, turn off your internet and try running the game, if it can't connect to the server it won't give you a popup at all.)


E: when did you download it? I checked our server and it's fine; I double checked the game code and that should be fine. Maybe you downloaded it before we pushed the update? Regardless, the game should still start; let me know if it doesn't.

After the pop-up it just closes down.

The earlier builds did nothing when I tried to start them so no change there. I guess it just crashes for some reason without giving an error message.

(Yes, I have both runtimes installed)

Something she mentioned was when she was climbing Kilimanjaro her water bottles froze when she was summiting. How do people handle that on Everest?

I don't think I've read a bad Krakauer book. Eiger Dreams is good too, and of course Into The Wild.

Under the Banner of Heaven is loving amazing. Also depressing as hell. :smith:

I wish I was some big baller. I want to buy off every Sherpa to never climb again and leave all these idiots on their own

poo poo, I'd pay them even more to smear grease on the ladders across the icefall and replace the stashed oxygen at Camp 4 with helium or something.

Do we know what happened to Green Boots? I heard he wasn't there anymore.

After years of keeping faithful vigil, Saint Green Boots finally ascended into the bosom of Great Chomolungma, where he will sit at Her side on the day of reckoning.

He's believed to be Tsewang Paljor from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, they would not have in any way been on the Tibetan side. David Sharp died very near him, and he also went from Nepali side via Asian Trekking, right?

Both Paljor and Sharp used the Northeast ridge route, starting from the Tibetan side.

If we're pooling, I'm guessing that six people will be sacrificed to Chomolungma this year.

This thread is Base Camp, the GBS threads are all collapsed tents flapping in the wind somewhere in the Death Zone.
