If the last two years haven't turned narcissists off climbing this stupid mountain, the only thing that will convince them is if it loving explodes or something.

I'll take 25, all killed on one of those big human chains bottlenecked trying to climb up.

Saving from the last thread



I'll go for 38 for the deathpool for 2016.

Now get the same image with the earthquake shake on it.

Was that the one where the guy and his best friend went up Everest, and only one came down and all his toes died and fell off? Because that one was really sad.

Or was that the one where the guy thought he was going to die with Boney M going through his head?

"knew the risks but died doing what they loved"

So, every autoerotic asphyxiation death ever?

The death rates for skydiving are so low because they put divers through a ton of safety training before they're even allowed on the plane. For everest all you need is 25 grand and a massive ego, training optional.
