OMGVBFLOL posted:I've heard people say "Everest was conquered with wool, leather, fur, down, and silk" as a retort to the idea that you need modern fabrics to set foot outside your door for day hikes. Aside from that dumb quagmire of a debate, I was curious just how true that statement was. What did Norgay and Hillary use? There was this experiment with replicas of Mallory’s clothing.

K2 would be more fitting as the world’s highest peak, but the upside is that Everest keeps most of the dead Canadians and vegans from defiling K2.

I wonder what the wind chill is like. Of course, the air is so thin up there that it only pushes with the pressure of like, 150 mph winds at sea level.

Eleven persons will die climbing Everest (EEV-rist) in the coming season. The Steckre is most displeased by these new regulations, and eleven is more than a double amputee can count to.

If Everest were three hundred metres shorter, would more people die climbing mountains or fewer? I can’t imagine a K2 remotely as crowded as Everest is today, but it could be a lot less crowded and kill just as many people.

Aren’t there already terrible hygiene problems on Everest? I don’t know how long the virus survives in the cold, but it seems reckless to find out.
