Looks like the climbing a mountain in the snow thread says marked for deletion and wont accept posts. are there any other climbing threads I can check out?

If you want actual climbing: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3522567

We don't really discuss long walks in snow. More actual technical climbing.

I would only go to the area if you want to go to Nepal. The rest of Everest is just not interesting to me. The risk, the cost, the time, the questionable ethics...not for me. Especially when you can get great views all over the place. That said if you want to do it then do it. I know people who have hiked at lower elevations in Nepal and said it was amazing.

A few examples:

Go to Refugio Frey in Argentina (or any of the Refugio):



RMNP:



Indian Peaks:



Interior of British Columbia:




Heck you can even go to the desert!



These all can be summer photos as well but where is the fun in that.

Ya, traveling far from home to go enjoy the outdoors is pretty unnecessary. Almost everyone has cool things near by, and definitely closer to them than Nepal. Some people like to travel though :shrug:

For sure. I am firmly fine if you want to go do it. Hanging out down lower in the villages sounds awesome for the culture/experience.
