This sounds like a good time as ever to plug season 1 of The Terror. In the middle of nowhere, cold as gently caress, and going absolutely insane from scurvy and lack of provisions doesn't make for a good time. Of course you then add in the spooky Inuit polar spirit that fucks your day up and you got yourself a stew.

So ultimately whatever map you use will give you correct directions to where you want to go but the exact GPS coordinates will be wrong?

When I was hiking the AT I rounded a corner and saw a bobcat pounce on a rabbit not 5ft from me. I imagine if it was a little closer I could have been swatted at to protect its meal. Was cool as gently caress though seeing nature do its thing.

Rounded a corner on the trail and came face to face with a black bear a good 20ft away. We both just stopped in our tracks for a beat to register what it was we saw. The bear then ran off the embankment in one of the most comical scrambles I have ever seen. Just this big dumb idiot cartoon legs spinning and tripping over itself as it ran away. If that bear was more afraid and angsty itd probably have been a much different story but what I got was certainly hilarious.

With how much they mention that small game trapping will protein starve you it really seems like the best bet is to get to fishing and stock up as much as you can.

Mr. Funny Pants posted:Pure speculation, but I'm curious what you all think. Let's say an earthquake or a crazed poster from this forum knocks off enough of the summit to put it below K2 in height. How much do you think climbing would decline there? Gotta knock off nearly 850 feet to get it there. That's a hell of an earthquake\explosion. It would probably also grind climbing to a halt as the infrastructure to support climbers would have to be ramped up. K2 is even more remote than Everest is

I did Katahdin in the cold rear end rain and it was absolutely miserable. I was 1 of like 4 people that summited that day. I was so adamant on finishing the AT that day and getting that picture on the sign that I huddle behind a giant cairn on the peak for a hour until some other poor soul showed up. Took the picture and booked it down. No view and no elation of finishing a great adventure, just wanted the off that mountain. I’m from Houston and it just happen to be the remnants of Hurricane Harvey so that dumb storm managed to gently caress me all the way in Maine.

Alpinist good. One thing I noticed after watching it and looking into the dudes career was that he did the Patagonia winter ascent before his “disappeared and showed up on Mt Robson” bit. The documentary definitely frames it as him being roped into filming Patagonia for the movie after loving off for a while. Weird choice but I guess it just makes for a more compelling story.

It just sucks because his luck ran out in a super dumb way when he wasn’t being particularly dangerous. Hell the worst fall for Alex Honnold was a routine climb with his partner that almost killed him.

It’s “only” a 5.9 but it’s wild that even a seasoned veteran like mags was terrified in a few spots. Alex just chillin and goofing around like it was nothing is hilarious. Oh look at me I’m holding the camera AND climbing! New HBO documentary “Edge of the Earth” has some absolutely beautiful shots of Alaska and some gnarly big mountain skiing.

Are you actually doing support work or is it “supporting” in that you’re there in the area hanging out and could identify the body? Have fun!

My wife had debilitating headaches from altitude sickness when we were in Peru and it sucks rear end. She never truly recovered until we were back down to sea level. Dude is in for a rotten time. His headache might subside a little with sleep but the instant he exerts himself it will come back with a vengeance. Probably isn’t hydrating either lol

The Deepest Breath on Netflix is like inverse Everest. Underwater death zone! No caves or anything just going down and no air.

For sure. I remember going to the hot springs in Steamboat this past winter and this woman on the bus was crazy hype to go to some retreat with a bunch of other enthusiasts to hang out with Wim Hof in Poland and his whole cold immersion deal. Now THAT seems like a cult.

Anne Whateley posted:May I direct the thread’s attention to Arctic Ascent, a new National Geographic series (on Disney+ or your parents’ cable). Alex Honnold, with climbers Hazel Findlay and Mikey Schaefer, lead a group up a huge fuckoff rock wall in Greenland to do climate science. It’s more responsible than Free Solo in that they’re roped in and belaying each other. Everything else about the location and specifics is way worse, like having to walk 100 miles to even get to the mountain, avoiding murder icicles and polar bears, and dealing with lovely crumbling rock the whole climb. Watched this. Pretty cool even if the reason to go felt kinda forced but whatever. The big climb is pretty insane not just because of how big it is but because it's literally crumbling away as they go up. Alex's  about the danger going up was to be expected but it was nice to see his friends taking it far more seriously and pushing back. Absolutely gorgeous environment

Nocheez posted:IIRC he's on the autism spectrum, so he doesn't really show his emotions on his face. That and he's part terminator. It wasn't necessarily the facial expression, but more the complete lack of care of the danger. His friend quit the climb because he deemed it too sketchy with the amount of crumbling and choss, but Alex was just "eh its no big deal really just be careful I guess?"

Anne Whateley posted:I’m not buying 9 oz of poop in a day. Aren’t you eating a whole lot more than 9 oz of food if you’re doing something like climbing Mount Everest? Your body is going to squeeze out every last bit of nutrition from food. When I was eating a ton of absolute poo poo when thru hiking I would routinely have normal sized dumps that didn't seem to match the amount I was consuming. Also constipation
