That was quite the wild ride

Ironically it was the exact opposite for that goon.
Still my favorite saga on here after all these years

Everyone's obsessed with the Everest, but tbh I'd be happy with something just a little Everer than my everyday hike

Personally I'm keeping things just the slightest bit Everish until I get more experience.

I can recommend Etna, it's like 3300m so a little thinner air but not dangerously so, plus it's a friggin' active volcano.

Living at reasonably high elevation (for the US), that's right around where I start noticing some difference in more strenuous hiking, above ~3 km was very noticeable and took some time to get used to back when I lived closer to sea level. It boggles my mind that Everest base camp already starts out not too far off from the highest peaks in the US and you only go up from there. That kind of kills most interest I have on going there just for the hiking experience, it looks stunning but not really something I want to deal with.

So are they dead yet or what?

Rinky-dink ink guy might be getting in an early-morning summit at this very second, if I google did my K2 time zone conversion correctly :effort:

Bad news if you were hoping to use the lack of folks going outside as an excuse to enjoy some recreation

For those with reduced lung capacity, achieving an altitude of 9,029 ft now counts as summiting.

Just sitting up there on the summit, blocking it off because nobody can approach within 6 ft to make you move
