I'm picking 23 for the Death Count because it hasn't been taken yet. And it's one of those numbers you never suspect until it hits ya. Like an avalanche down the Lhotse Face!

Wondering what numbers have already been picked? I went through the list and this is what's been chosen so far. If you see multiple names next to a number, it is because people are bad at picking numbers. I can't remember how we dealt with that last year because I'm snow tired.

Oh my god, I have trouble imagining someone moving so fast with some of those drops, but those views are breathtaking.

Does anyone know any decent documentaries about the Matterhorn I should watch?

The First Ascent of The Matterhorn

The First Descent of The Matterhorn

Is the Matterhorn even technically difficult? I thought it's super-popular, but maybe not just all the way to the top.

It just occurred to me that maybe some of you don't reflexively get this song in your head every time you see this thread, so maybe I should help change that so that you all can suffer as I do.

Like, I've been reading the everest thread for three or four years and only just now thought to post that.

After Touching the Void, every time someone mentions mountaineering, Boney M starts playing in my head.

Helicopter firms are carrying out unauthorised sightseeing flights over the upper reaches of Mount Everest, Nepalese officials say.

Sherpas have expressed concerns that vibrations caused by the helicopters could trigger avalanches.

Can't wait for the Michael Bay Everest incident, where a helicopter crashes into the southern face, triggering an avalanche, making the base camp explode.

Any goonettes here want to go hiking with me?

The only way to top this is to let your spouse die, and propose to someone else at the summit.
