>one of the greatest mysteries in history
>2025
>still no KINO related to them

If it was ever going to be made, it would have had to have been before 2012. Everything beyond this point with few exceptions has been utter dogshit. And it would have to feature two whites. Nobody's touching this.

Why are mountains so mysterious, bros??

QRD?

>greatest

Never heard of it

Two white retards go nutty putty and killed themselves in a hostile environment as usual?

>>214291031
Don't worry I filled myself in. Not that great a mystery, OP. Pretty boring honestly.

>>214290948
suck my dick
how's that for confidence big boy

>>214290525
Because objectively, they are just big rocks. It's just a piece of ground higher than the ground around it, why would there be anything special about it?

Then you realize that walking 1000yd in height is vastly different from walking 1000yd on even ground. There's weird winds, temperature, rockslides and drops that don't look that much from above, but when you're in that environment even falling down from like 9ft can be the end of you, and if the fog comes, ho boy you're in for something.

Now scale that up to a massive scale and you got the big mountains.

>>214291348
You don't mean it

>>214291419
For me, it's watching videos of mountain climbers on K2 and the other really vertical climbs like Cerro Torre

>>214291459
I'm not much of a fan of rope climbing, though hanging yourself from a 1000ft drop by some screws you put in some rock is kinda cool.

the land must feed

>>214291459
>thoes videos of something rolling down the slope of K2 and its just a dude who slipped without being clipped in and he's just sonic rolling 8k meters off the mountain
Im obsessed with the deathzone, its the closest thing to a magical zone with no return. its fucking insane
thats why im so obsessed with Mallory and Irvine. The first ones to go up that high and dressed in wool and leather boots

>>214290357 (OP)
So mysterious that we have no idea what you're talking about anon.

>>214290357 (OP)
>greatest mysteries
>kino
Literally summited, then fell while returning down the slope at night because they were late to summit. They already found Mallory's body decades ago and the wounds suggested exactly that. One of the two fell and dragged the other to their death most likely.

>>214292755
But did they summit. I doubt they could’ve gone up the second step that late

>>214290948
Based

>>214293508
Most people think they summited. Why? Because Mallory stated he always carried a photo of his wife to put on it and no such photo was found when they found his body. Also Mallory had his goggles stashed away which would have only been reasonable at night. They also made it to the 2nd (or 3rd) step by 1pm or so so it's possible they continued up, hit it late in the afternoon and tried to return int he evening. They should have turned around, a lot of tragic Everest stories begin with late summits.

>>214290525
mysterious? maybe if you’re 12

>>214290510
>Movie about first female soldier in the American Revolution. She even did surgery on herself to avoid getting caught ad has a body count.

Or

>2 white guys die on a mountain cause they're retarded enough to climb it at night

I can safely agree with anon that Hollywood has more and arguably better material to work with first

>>214293683
>photo
he could've just placed it at the highest point they reached and then turned around.
>Also Mallory had his goggles stashed away which would have only been reasonable at night
this doesnt prove they reached the summit either, just that they were returning late. or they were the backup pair and he lost his when he fell
>they made it to the 2nd step
that is if you believe odell actually saw them from camp 5 and that he remembered the exact spot years after the expedition. and if he saw them between the 1st and 2nd step at 1PM, they were WAY behind to make the summit before dark. 2PM is the modern turnaround time, and thats with a known path, modern equipment and the path already having guideropes set up AND ladders to climb the 1st, 2nd and 3rd step

igonoring all that, weather records and air pressure reports from that day would mean the summit would've been inside the jetstream too.
I love the story, its a very epic story if they reached the summit, but there just is no way.

>>214293823
>2 white guys die on a mountain cause they're retarded enough to climb it at night
Everyone climbs everest during the night on the summit bid retard. You have to start at night if you want to summit during the day and get back down

They made a movie on Everest last year or this about Americans who basically made the same mistakes. Bad weather, late summit, dragging stragglers along the way, ended up dying on the way back down due to lack of energy, oxygen, and the weather. But then wow epic! one of the half-frozen guys woke back up the following day and managed to walk back to camp and eventually was rescue via heli lost both his hands and some other shit due to frostbite.

>>214294682
I think you're mixing it up
the guy who froze forn the entire night, woke up in the morning and got back to camp was in 1996

>>214294718
Yeah that's what I meant. It's a different movie about Americans but it's not all that far off what the story OP wants would be. Expedition leader and a few others all died. Only difference is they had radios to be able to communicate what was going on most of the way rather than it being a "wow epic mystery!!!"

>>214291061
Fecal golems are woman coded.

>>214294764
the 1996 disaster isnt even that much of a mystery. It was 100% preventable if the people stuck to the established rules.
Without the Russian dude there, the deaths would've been much higher.
>dude at 2pm, turn around, even if you're 3 steps from the summit
>same dude decides to stay at the summit for 3 hours and starts going down at 5pm
The Mallory and Irvine bid for the summit is more special because they were the first ones to try and went into a complete unknown. They didnt even know if humans could survive on the summit at that point.
it took 75 years to even know what exactly happened to them

>>214293823
>first female soldier
>american revolution
literal retard. also, as the other anon pointed out. you know nothing about climbing everest

>>214295024
What's to know? There's no point in climbing up there and anyone who does is a self important retard who deserves to be freeze dried.

>>214290357 (OP)
They found mallory tho. Perfectly preserved in the death zone.

>>214290357 (OP)
I can’t believe the fucking bugs threw irvines body off of mt Everest and have the disappeared his boot that found last year?

If it has rocks from the peak embedded in the soles it can show that the brits climbed Everest first so the bugs are really trying to not let anyone examine it I imagine.

Fucking chink shits.

>>214295149
the story of them throwing him off was from before they found his boot last year

>>214292271
True I hope to one day get to climb Everest from the chinese side but its looking less and less likely due to the coming economic and population crash in the west.

>>214295099
we'd accomplish absolutely fucking nothing if the world was full of you specifically. it doesn't matter what's up there. can a human do it? well, we did. you've lost the drive that made us what we are. go live in the woods for a bit and get a fucking clue

This annoying jew needs to sit down and shut the fuck up. I can’t believe that people actually listen to this retard.

>>214295218
He's not jewish and he's one of the few who did absolutely 0 wrong on that day. The guy had frostbite basically everywhere after spending a night in the snow during the harshest snowstorm of the season and still insisted they helivac everyone else first

>>214295185
Ok and? They still threw him off the top.

Some chink slanteyed fuck from the bug military went “a i ree whyte man i throw rim off big rountain!”

FUCK YOU

>>214295252
The people who passed him on the way down repeatedly tried to get him to come with them but he wanted to stand still and freeze instead.

Its pure luck that he even survived the night because it’s completely understandable why they rescued others instead of him because the state he was in.

>>214295302
He was told to wait for Hall. That wasnt his fault. He was one of the rare people that was qualified to be on everest, he just had bad luck that he went blind.
He did the 7 summitsmjmxj

>>214295259
>>214295149
>they threw him off the top
Mallory had a rope tied to him and wounds around his waist that suggested both him and Irvine were roped together and one of them fell. Mallory had his one leg severely broken below the knee cap from the fall. Irvine likely broke his legs as well. The glacier literally consumed him and grinded his body which is why the foot was found by itself once it melted. The only reason they even found his boot is because they went and looked where Irvine should have fell had he kept falling down the north face beyond where Mallory ended up and what do you know, his boot was roughly in the right spot they expected.

>>214295259
We dont know that. The faggot who made that claim said so many contradictory statements.

alright faggots
Empty Everest, no other climbers except your team or K2?

>>214295782
half the risk of everest is long ass queues, the mountain has been optimised so much in terms of route and timing that the only real risks are you and/or some random storm

>>214295887
not in the khumbu, and avalanches are still a thing

It's been in development with diff sets of actors. They've all aged out, and the young ones now can be blown away by the wind.

>The image shows the 47-year-old mother-of-one bravely smiling for the camera, her shattered leg stabilised with a spare tent pole. At the time, hopes were still high that she could be saved.

>Incredibly, Natalia survived for almost a week after the photograph - first published by Izvestia - was taken with Italian climber Luca Sinigaglia.

>In that time, she endured freezing winds and temperatures plunging to minus 20C. One week later, she was even spotted waving to a drone.

>But despite her extraordinary fight for life, rescuers were unable to get a helicopter capable of reaching her altitude.

>Mostly, the weather was too severe - but critics insist there were small windows when she might have been reached, if an aircraft and crew had been ready.

>Instead, attempts were made to climb to her position. But rescuers were twice turned back, once by a storm and once when their team leader was injured.

>>214298200
did she break her leg on the summit?
I mean then sure, if she's above the step there's 0 chance to get her down

>>214295214
What the fuck do you accomplish by following in the footsteps of someone else who's already climbed the mountain?

>>214298306
She broke her leg 7000 meters up Victory Peak and the mountain is as deadly as Annapurna with 30% mortality.

>>214298200
>some guy goes to her to give her a sleeping bag
>dies
>rescue attempts on foot are called off indefinitely, leading to her death
Did some retard actually inadvertently kill her while trying to help? Lmao jesus.

>>214292271
It's cool that there are routes up K2 that have only been done once because they're so dangerous

What is the most dangerous mountain? K2, Annapurna, Broad Peak, or another?

1967 mt McKinley disaster would make a good movie

We need to figure out how to make diving as kino as climbing

>>214295782
An empty Everest is piece of cake compared to K2. The only thing Everest has over K2 is some additional height so you spend a little more time in the death-zone compared to K2.

K2 and Annapurna are bitch mountains that will kill you.

>>214298825
K2 by far. Annapurna second.

I think Americans should name all mountains and bodies of water across the globe.
>Annapurna
Perfect example, it sounds like a disgusting Indian shit pile. Fucking disgusting. It shouldn't even be typed or discussed without an American-approved name.

>>214299566
I'm glad ""Denali"" got renamed to Mount McKinley. Just sounds more distinguished

>>214298422
man thats brutal
>>214298566
when you're up there if you cant move on your own you're dead.
Even if you stop to help it can cost you. Your limbs freeze, they stop working etc.
Some climber described the sensation in the death zone to be trying to move your leg and it takes 10 seconds for it to start moving.

>>214298825
K2 is more dangerous but like Everest its become commercialised. the 1/4 deathrate is very outdated now.
The reason why K2 isnt as popular is because you cant just get there as easy as you can with Everest.
its a multiple days walk trough a glacier with 0 roads before you even get to basecamp

>>214299853
>Some climber described the sensation in the death zone to be trying to move your leg and it takes 10 seconds for it to start moving.
It's because retards don't take oxygen much anymore

>>214299916
of course they do, where have you heard that?

>>214292465
They were likely the first men to scale Everest in the 1920s but they died on the way down so the mystery is whether they beat Tenzing Norgsy and enmond Hillary.

>>214299944
I'm at K2 basecamp right now

>>214290357 (OP)
>still no KINO related to them
Are you joking? One of the climbers literally shot a documentary of their ascent in 1924 with a film camera he lugged up the mountain, it's called The Epic of Everest:

>look up Hannelore Schmatz
>Hannelore Schmatz initially didn't plan to go to the summit, but decided to do so shortly after her husband began making his way down the day before. On the same expedition was the American Ray Genet, who also died while descending from the summit. Exhausted from the climb, they had stopped to bivouac at 28,000 feet (8,500 m) as the night approached, despite their Sherpa guides urging them not to stop. Ray Genet died later that night and both the Sherpa and Schmatz were distressed, but decided to continue their descent. Then at 27,200 feet (8,300 m) Schmatz sat down, said "Water, Water" to her Sherpa and died.[6][8] Sungdare Sherpa, one of the Sherpa guides, remained with her body, and as a result, lost most of his fingers and toes.[9]
>In October 1984, police inspector Yogendra Bahadur Thapa, 36, and his guide, Ang Dorjee, 35, fell to their death while trying to recover Schmatz's body on a Nepalese police expedition.[14][15]

thats the deathzone for you

look up david sharp

>>214301724
because it's there

I'm happy the Chinese are kicking the bodies down the slopes where they can decompose into the glaciers. Leaving them up high where they are just frozen permanently is just a form of litter and disgusting. Imagine an alien race comes to earth someday and goes to our highest peaks only to find it littered with the bodies of rich assholes with more money than brains. Not to mention there's literal shit everywhere along the camp routes. Disgusting.

>>214301926
Why aren't they kicking the shit down the slope?

>>214301959
It's a lot easier to rocket a body down a slope than a tiny pile of shit that likely will just get stuck immediately again. Nepal announced last year they were going to finally start to try to clean up the mountain from the shit and bodies but then they also keep letting on record number of people attempt to go up them so I doubt their efforts will work out. It's way too profitable of a business for them.

>>214301926
they arent kicking them down. Most of the time they're just thrown out of sight
You dont really have much of a choice where to throw them

>>214301817

>>214302913
>>wait 3 hours because everyone wants to take a selfie
That's really not the issue. First of all even with the "ropes" up everest is no joke. It takes serious training to actually do and unfortunately a lot of guide companies will let rich people up who simply don't have the training. Even then it's still no walk in the park. You can't speed run it. There's also a lot of bottlenecks where you can't just push your way around people. like in your pic. Also once you're above the death zone your body is literally breaking down and dying every second you're up there. That's why staying too long is almost certain death.

>>214303242
>It takes serious training to actually do

>>214302913

>>214303284
To actually summit requires actual physical training and skills
Guide companies often will let richfags who don't have the training come along for the price.
These richfags in turn slow down the entire assent for everyone else
Comphrendo?
Most of them won't make it to the summit unless they are very lucky anyway, but they will slow down everyone else and put everyone else at risk.

Anybody can do it. A group of sherpas carry you to the base of the ladder and all you have to do is pretend to climb it while they haul you up on a rope. Then you take a selfie at the top and maybe die on the way down. It isn't hard just expensive.

She lost her husband on ,you guess, a mountain climb four years ago. Luca Sinigaglia and Günter Sigmund left her food, warm clothes, a sleeping bag, a mat, two burners, gas for melting snow. Sinigaglia died from hypothermia and Sigmund is in serious condition at hospital. Two groups of alpinists tried to save her, a Kyrgyz helicopter crash-landed with injuries, a second attempt was called off because of a back injury for a Russian alpinist.

>>214298566
Kyrgyz authorities don't even count alpinist deaths on Victory peak. It's estimated that 80 people died climbing the mountain.

>>214307985
>1907, Yoshitaro Shibasaki and his team successfully climbed Mount Tsurugi, which was regarded as the last unclimbed mountain in Japan. However, they found a metal cane decoration and a sword on the top of the mountain, and it turned out that someone had reached the top before them. A later scientific investigation revealed that the metal cane decoration and sword dated from the late Nara period to the early Heian period and that shugenja had climbed Mount Tsurugi more than 1,000 years ago.[11]

kek ty anon, this is a great story. I always like to imagine the crazy stuff retards in the distant past got up to that was forgotten forever afterwards.

>>214290955
Whether they made it to the top or not.
More than likely they didn't.

>>214306909
Bullshit. He was critical but fair and he stated all the raguments for and against. It's false equivalence to say it's definitely one or the other. The book is amazing.

Antarctic Heroic Age> every single other area and period of exploration combined

>>214299566
nah, USA peaks often have retarded names like Bloody Dick or too literal like Ugly Mountain. Even when the names are borrowed from other cultures they still manage to pick the worst ones, I mean the Teton Range is literally the Titty Range in French.

The radical Mallory truther sending death threats to anyone rightfully doubting his pet theory about the fairytale climb in 1924? I'd rather take Krakauer's book. It's actually an amazingly written account and he doesn't hide his arrogance. Hell he even writes about conservative Beck Weathers BTFOing him in political discussions.

>>214304234
what is wrong with me that I want to buy that just to see how my cat would react ...

Robert Falcon Scott is another fun one. Even better because they weren't even first, and the group that beat them and trashed the place made the whole trip look easy.

>>214308450
In reality, Amundsen took a gamble. Several in fact and it worked out in the end. Scott's system was different, it wasn't a simple dash to the pole but a big all-encompassing expedition where the trek to the pole was just one of its goals. I love the Terra Nova Expedition. Best story and best people were involved in it. I'm glad all the unfair assessments are straight up lies are disappearing now.

>>214308128
Krakauer had been asleep in his tent while Boukreev rescued three climbers. That's all that matters.

>>214291855
people hike that pass every summer and there's nothing to it. it's part of a huge park/trail system in the Urals. Only a moron would hike it in the dead of winter.

>>214308741
He was barely alive. Not his job to do more than survive as a non-guide. I'm glad I don't need to take sides in this fake conflict that some people believe exists. Perhaps it's his fault that he wrote a really good and gripping book.

>>214308868
Krakauer is kinda on my shit list for the introduction to the book about the Brusilov expedition that repeats debunked myths about Captain Scott. His book is great I'm glad I don't need to care about the accuracy of tiny details that can't be verified with 100% accuracy.

>>214290357 (OP)
There is no source material to work off. The entire movie/show would just be a buildup to the climb. Then completely fan-fiction of what happened, and then fan-fiction of their deaths

>>214301771
gottem

>>214309055
The Wildest Dream movie shows Mallory leaving his wife's photo. That's super fan fictiony. Him turning back and dying in darkness without suceeding would be super anticlimactic even though it's very likely true and to me there's nothing wrong with this simple ending.

Anon you're thinking of Everest (2015)

What makes these 2 dudes dying on the mountain more mysterious than the countless others? Because their bodies weren't entirely found?

>>214290525
They’re beyond you. A conception of space and time in scales you cannot fathom. Cannot ever take into yourself wholly and fully; you’ll never understand them. Theirs, on the other hand, IS understanding. An experience of the movements of the world itself. Think of the things these mountains have witnessed things: the birth of the world, the rise and fall of countless empires. Eons and the flap of a butterfly’s wings are equivalent to them. You can feel that when you stand before them. The secrets they’ll never reveal, and those that they might yield up to a special few. And only in whispers. Old and titanic. Big in a way that only gods are big, before them you rightly tremble at your recognition of your insignificance in the face of the universe moving and shifting, giving birth to itself and killing itself again and again and again. The earth shattering snap! like giant bone of an avalanche releasing from their side. Screams of mind-shattering silence reaching out and capturing all who gaze upon them. And memory…memory of stories you’ll never know but it still seems like they’re constantly trying to tell you drifting out from every rock-face. Mind and spirit drifting, the lure you in with the softest windswept whispers off their peaks saying, “come and die.”

Not me, I'd sit down to smoke a cigar while laughing at all the tryhards. Then get up again and tackle them all as I briskly jogged up the summit. Then slide down all the way using green boots as my sled.

you're getting hated on for this but you're 100% right

Climbing mountains is fucking retarded. It's just guys feeling the urge to go on a dangerous adventure, but it's the dumbest most pointless adventure. It's a behavioural evolutionary trap, the instincts that pushed men of the past to achieve great things by taking risks is now getting people killed so they can take a shot at achieving fuck all. No one cares if you climbed the K2 on the northern route, it doesn't matter, it's a non-achievement on par with deadlifting 4 plates, no one cares, it's not special. If anything people look down on you for littering mountains with your frozen carcass. It's funny though that retards who aren't in control of their life because they must follow their urges are dying.

>>214310747

Scott made mistakes but they weren't stupid mistakes, just underestimations of the severity of conditions his team would face.

>>214308041

Ancient mountain climbers are pretty cool.

>>214307985
Because with history if you didnt write it down, it sadly didnt happen.
The Sherpas consider the mountain holy so even letting the british set foot on it was a big deal that they needed special rituals and permission.
Its super remote, nothing grows there, nobody can love at the base of everest for long without a constant flow of supplies.
Without mountaineering equipment you wouldnt even get past the khumbu icefall

>>214308741
I don’t particularly like Krakauer, but thats a very poor comparison
Boukareev has been resting in camp 4 for hours at that point. Krakauer just arrived back. No sane person would walk into that storm once they just barely survived it once.

>>214290948
Truth. It's also an annoying trait.

>>214318805
i think its rain

They should use explosives to "remodel"the mountain each year. Like you know how games can have seasonal maps. Keep things fresh.

>>214317457
Is she the one who shouted "I'm an American!" to passing climbers?

>>214319060
Oh yeah that was it, who was she?

>>214319170

>End up oxygen-deprived on the way down
>Became incapacitated
>Her husband died trying to save her
>She also died

>>214319310
Well technically it was a success I guess

>>214290510
>And it would have to feature two whites. Nobody's touching this.
Not at all. They can easily portray the Whites as arrogant imperialists with no respect for the mountain nor any regard for the dangers they face and dismissive of the wise locals who will warn them and give them precious insight.

>>214319042
thats what happened with the Hillary step on everest.
the problem is two sided though, it removed the main bottleneck on the mountain, but it also removed the only technically difficult part of the climb meaning more tourists can just walk up there

>>214319310
>Francys Arsentiev
oh her. I feel like thats a bit of a stretch. Yeah she was doing something dumb, but that was the main objective. get up there without oxygen.
Unlike most people on the mountain she was an unironic elite climber, her husband too.

I don't think tit should count as climbing the mountain if you die on the way down. It's kind of implied in "can do a thing" that you don't de in order to achieve it.

>>214319701
it doesnt count if you die on the way down. Thats why the debate about Mallory summiting is a big nothingburger.
Hillary was the first even if Mallory got to the top in 24

wtf i literally thought climbing deaths stopped happening post 1960s.. how, given the improved skill of every profession/hobby and modern day equipment, etc., do people still fucking die on mountains?

>>214313620
The weather was abnormal that season and there were other aspects outside of his control. He didn't make more mistakes than others. Shackleton on Nimrod was one blizzard away from death but necause of luck he's not considered a reckless failure.

How would you climb Trango Tower?

>>214319918
Amundsen lived with the inuits for 2 years to learn how they survive in conditions like that.
He adapted, scott tried to brute force it. He brought ponies and untested motor sledges.
Amundsen used the dogs for transport and for food

>>214319918
On Everest the only people that die are the Sherpas because they are on the mountain so often lugging shit up for the boomers and old unfit boomers that had no business being there.
Last time I checked the last non sherpa or boomer to die was a retarded pajeet that tried to summit with no supplemental oxygen.

The summit of Cerro Torre in Chile is notoriously difficult because it's permanently covered in a mushroom cap of ice. Herzog made Scream of Stone about climbers attempting it.

>At 8 p.m. on July 17, a storm hit the upper slopes of the mountain, with wind speeds later estimated by the National Weather Service to have approached 300 mph (480 km/h) near the summit.

>>214303343
>Comphrendo?

>Dying on the way down, the easy part.
Why didn't they all just take parachutes?

>>214320342
>with wind speeds later estimated by the National Weather Service to have approached 300 mph (480 km/h) near the summit
That was about the same time researchers thought wind speeds inside a tornado were close to supersonic so I wouldn't put too much faith in their estimate

>>214302913
learned my lesson when I did Fuji. if it's a popular mountain, you're in for a miserable experience.

>>214319953
Scott also had dogs and skis and was aware Norwegians were better at using them. From his perspective the expedition wasn't conceptualized as a race or a dash.

>>214320515
>gets swept up into the atmosphere never to be seen again
i think a wingsuit would work better, or even a paraglider for the matter

>>214320515
Going down is the hard part
>used up your energy, or most of it
>it’s naturally more difficult going down a hill than up
>later in the day its warmer so more prone to accidents due to the snow melting
Also most people put the goal of summitting in their mind, so psychologically they think they’re done once they reach the top

His wife's photo being missing, the goggles in his pocket and the missing camera all point to him summitting. He gave the camera to Irvine. When do you give someone a camera? When you want them to take a photo of you. The Chinese found Irvine's body and disposed of it in the 70s. They probably have the camera and fucked up the film exposure. It's all about saving face in their culture.

>>214303506
THE DEATH STRANDING

>>214313004
That donkey is probably dead now.

>>214323492
We don't even know what camera he had on his person. And Irvine. I think even one camera he supposedly had was actually left behind becuse we have photos taken with it. So far we have no samples of rocks collected near the summit and I don't think there's any conspiracy or pro-Hillary lobby working against revealing the truth.

>>214323692
in the end it doesnt matter, getting to the summit is the halfway point
Hillary said it would be fantastic if they could prove that Mallory and Irvine reached the summit, and George's own son said that even if he did, he didnt make the full round trip and it wouldn't count

>>214324077
There have been some first summits that ended in death of at least some of the climbers (winter Broad Peak for example). Or for example new routes. It happens. It doesn't make the effort entirely invalid. Hillary was asked, I think as early as 1953, if he saw traces of Mallory. Of course he didn't even if he had made it it would be very difficult to spot something unless they left something large like a theodolite which is something that later Everest expditions did leave behind. And also notes.

>>214324561
It would’ve been impossible for hillary to see traces of Mallory because hillary climbed the south side trough nepal while mallory went up trough tibet on the north side

>>214300243

On the top. Climbers do leave things on the top and they get later picked up by other climbers who bring them down. It's like a system of mutual verification. Sometimes they're flags, pickaxes, notes, scientific instruments, souvenirs.

>>214290948
KEK so true

>>214324822
I seriously doubt something would last up there for 30 years.
The mountain changes every season as is
