She knew the risks and knew how to deal with them, and the mountain still got the better of her. Best wishes for the fall survivor.

oh yeah the Everest season is on https://www.alanarnette.com/blog/2024/04/27/everest-2024-weekend-update-april-28-teams-into-the-western-cwm/ ice fall this year apparently takes 10 hours to get through and charting it delayed climbing somewhat. interesting there are few ladders on it, just long and winding

When I first moved to Korea I started eating a lot of Korean food, of course. For two weeks, I guess my body didn't know how to handle this new cuisine, I didn't poo poo at all. One day at work, I felt something... move... kind of shift in my abdomen. I didn't know what it was but it was definitely big. Anyway, that night was basically the South Park scene with Randy on the toilet. I thought I was going to die because it seemed impossible for anything that big to pass. That's the closest I have to an Everest poop story.

How many bingo squares does this cover? LA times just wrote a profile on a Bay Area biotech executive, for who ironman and ultramarathons weren’t making him insufferable enough, is training for a North Col ascent from his second home in Lake Tahoe by sleeping in a hypoxic tent.

Genuinely curious how a wing suit performs at an altitude many helicopters struggle at. I imagine the glide performance can't be great

This interview has a lot more info on what he's hoping to do: https://explorersweb.com/highest-wingsuit-jump-lhotse/ PittTheElder posted:Genuinely curious how a wing suit performs at an altitude many helicopters struggle at. I imagine the glide performance can't be great From that link: quote:“A wingsuit needs time to pressurize and only then do you start getting forward momentum,” Howell explained. “At a normal altitude, it takes me about 200m to really start getting forward momentum. On Aconcagua, it took me 300m, because the air is thinner and it takes longer for the wingsuit to pressurize. On Lhotse, I am giving myself a margin of error of another hundred meters: I expect it will take 400m.”
