It is worth noting that climbing Everest literally makes you more stupid.

What is the world's most famous ladder?

Right. Oh man.

I hadn't actually come across that one.

The Apollo 11 ladder was my first thought. I knew about the Holy Sepulcher ladder but it had slipped my mind.

You can see what happens when you don't have oxygen anymore in this video:

This one is fun too:

That first video is a deeply uncomfortable watch. That blank look of incomprehension as he is being told he needs to put on his mask or else he will die is pretty chilling.

I presume Antarctica would be one of the "tricky" ones.

Lol at the absolute vitriol and palpable envy that’s right now being poured out by “ice warriors” in the Polish media.

What's this about?

Diving is a useful skill that supports all manner of industry and rescue situations.

Mountain climbing supports the mountain climbing industry and mountain climber rescue industry.

The two are nothing alike

There is plenty of infrastructure and other work which uses mountaineering and climbing expertise. Some of it in mountains but some on other tall structures etc.

Continuing the diving derail, the book Shadow Divers is pretty terrifying as well. It's about the divers who discovered a u-boat off the cost of New Jersey.
I think I'd rather cave dive than wreck dive based off of reading that.

Wreck diving is functionally very much like cave diving and just as dangerous.
