Are you the first double amputee with a sign for a prosthetic to reach the top of that mountain?

The atmosphere is a lot thinner, so it would have to be really huge.

That was a person? I'm not an expert, but that tumbling didn't look like a human body.

Does he have solar power? Also, he could probably collect sea water and set up a solar still.

You'd probably get idiots wanting to do it with no experience, but you probably wouldn't get as many people willing to drag someone to the top for money.

You might not have realized that this thread is actually in Take a Hike, not GBS. The last time someone tried to remake the thread and put it in GBS, it was shitposted into oblivion.

After hearing about how lovely Krakauer was about Boukreev, I'm glad the movie made Krakauer out to be a bitch saying he was snow blind when Boukreev asks for his help.

I'm guessing the crampons curve to match a boot. When you look at the picture he shows, you can see the crampon on the left boot curves to the left as if it should go on a right boot.

Considering that covid-19 can cause permanent lung damage, sounds like a great plan for summitting a mountain where there isn't enough air to survive.
