K2 is the death trap not Everest

>>520505385
Annapurna I is by far the deadliest 8000+ mountain

>>520505004 (OP)
Chimborazo in Ecuador is the tallest mountain in the world (peak farthest from center of the Earth).

>>520505004 (OP)
I don't think that's what it says.

>>520505004 (OP)
Everest is gay, you're only a bad ass if you reverse climb the marianna trench.

>>520505385
K2 isn't a death trap, because only pros go there.

ME is a normie mountain, it's like shooting an elephant from that special turbo big rifle after bunch of niggers helped you to drive to savanmah and provided everything you needed including satellite inernet

>>520505543
But millennials are event deadlier because we can kill Everest itself

>>520505004 (OP)
I honestly seriously wanted to climb Everest. I have the means and ability. Then I look at pics where there are like a thousand tourists packed toe to toe waiting in line for their chance to freeze to death. Completely lost interest. The conga line lemming bullshit isn't worth the $75-100K for a chance to die because of Korean retards.

>be Rob Hall
>lead climbing expedition up Mount Everest literally just one day before a major blizzard was set to strike
>ropes normally used for ascending the summit were cut, requiring the guides to climb ahead and reinstall them
>this leads to a literal traffic jam where 30 people are waiting to ascend the summit
>in danger of running out of supplemental oxygen, which is critical to survival up at that altitude
>reach the summit well after the required turnaround time to reach relative safety of Camp IV before nightfall
>blizzard finally strikes during the descent
>In the early morning of 11 May, at 04:43, Hall radioed Base Camp and said he was on the South Summit (8,749 m or 28,704 ft), confirming that he had survived the night. He reported that Harris had reached the two men, but Hansen, who had been with him since the previous afternoon, was now "gone", and Harris was missing. Hall was not breathing bottled oxygen because his regulator was too choked with ice.
>By 09:00, Hall had fixed his oxygen mask but indicated that his frostbitten hands and feet were making it difficult to traverse the fixed ropes. Later in the afternoon, he radioed Base Camp, asking them to call his pregnant wife, Jan Arnold, on the satellite phone. During this last communication, they chose a name for their unborn child, he reassured her that he was reasonably comfortable, and told her, "Sleep well, my sweetheart. Please don't worry too much." Shortly thereafter, he froze to death in his sleep.
>seven other climbers die that night

This guy literally had a pregnant wife and at no point did he decide that risking his life to reach the top of a fucking mountain wasn't worth it and take his party back down for their own safety

Everest is littered with the corpses of what were once, very motivated people.
Fuck motivation.

>>520507031
>Everest is littered with the corpses

Not just corpses, but their shit too

>In 2015, the president of the Nepal Mountaineering Association warned that pollution, especially human waste, has reached critical levels. As much as 12,000 kg (26,500 lb) of human excrement each season is left behind on the mountain.[330] Human waste is strewn across the verges of the route to the summit, making the four sleeping areas on the route up Everest's south side minefields of human excrement. Climbers above Base Camp—for the 62-year history of climbing on the mountain—have most commonly either buried their excrement in holes they dug by hand in the snow, or slung it into crevasses, or simply defecated wherever convenient, often within metres of their tents. The only place where climbers can defecate without worrying about contaminating the mountain is Base Camp. At approximately 5,500 m (18,000 ft), Base Camp sees the most activity of all camps on Everest because climbers acclimate and rest there. In the late-1990s, expeditions began using toilets that they fashioned from blue plastic 190-litre (50-US-gallon) barrels fitted with a toilet seat and enclosed.

In HS i wrote a short story about how in the future, advances in cryogenics meant scientists were able to revive an Everest climber who flash froze in a storm a hundred years after their "death" and becoming a corpsicle. I think I got a B?

>>520506970
So badass and tragic wypipo!
Nevermind the government researching and perfecting mind control during that time!
Fuck fighting and dying for a cause like that!
100IQ!

I like these retarded qualifiers.

My cock is 14 inches long (measured from the spleen).

Neat concept, but scientifically impossible.

Even if all of their internal organs were intact (they wouldn't be), their brain would basically be mush. The neurons that make up your consciousness would have long since degenerated away. In theological terms, it would be the equivalent of a living body without a soul.

Messner said Everest isn't climbing but trudging through the snow like going on a walk. also only npc cucks stand in line with other npc cucks and they all use oxygen because they are massive faggot normalniggers

>>520505004 (OP)
Just look at that picture, OP. Is that what you imagine when you hear somebody "climbed everest"?
Capitalism has completely sucked the soul out of it and turned it into another gay tourist trap. There is no chance of death, or any danger at all for that matter, on these guided hikes - and unguided climbs have been made illegal.

Outlaw nature and sell it to the masses.

>>520507613
Yea, it was just an HS short story, basically like Encino Man. I just remember reading about how they found that climber from the 20s or something and seeing the picture and he looked freshly dead and thought "what if he could be brought back like those cryogenics things?"

Why would anybody even want to climb Mount Everest anymore? The mystique of it all kind of wore off like 50 years ago. Currently Mount Everest mostly consists of shit and dead bodies. Its literally India but frozen and with less oxygen.

>>520508419
Because normies are midwit extroverts

>>520506238
>Only pros go
I thought there was some rich people trend where they climb all seven of the tallest mountains in the world or something like that to brag to their rich friends

>>520506970
That was a textbook Dunning-Kruger moment, those leaders could traverse up and down Everest alone, but they thought they could carry a bunch of normies up and down too, they overshot their own abilities as guides, then paid the ultimate price, Hall died because he refused to leave his friend Hansen alone to die, Hansen shouldn't've been up there in the first place.

>>520507980
this very much, using oxygen makes it a walk in the park. Peak gay
