I just got curious and looked it up. The cost can be $45,000 and above if you plan your trip with a western agency.....$25,000 - $40,000 if you hire a local company to take you up. That is a lot of money to go winter camping, trash up a mountain with your spent oxygen bottles and waste - and risk your life in the process! |

Yep. The tallest mountain on the planet, a true natural wonder, has been turned into a very expensive, very dangerous theme park. Biological material takes forever to decompose in the cold, dry, oxygen depleted, atmosphere near the top. There are bodies along the route to the summit that have been there for years. They are just trail markers now. Surrounding the high altitude camps are vast fields of frozen human turds that will be there for many many years. When Edmund Hillary was the first to reach the summit it meant something. For the 300th or three thousandth or whatever, not so much. |

Title: Re: WHY......???? Post by Ruttly on 05/30/19 at 13:15:45 They need a zip lines ! Climb up , get you pics , then jump on a zip line to get down out of the death zone. That would be hella fun Stairway to the heavens and a zip line back down. They could process more climbers , make more money with fewer deaths. |

Title: Re: WHY......???? Post by hotrod on 05/30/19 at 15:11:37 I could have told them that there was nothing on the top of that mountain. |

Title: Re: WHY......???? Post by verslagen1 on 05/30/19 at 18:05:24 I hear there's a lot of poopsicles available. |

Title: Re: WHY......???? Post by Ruttly on 05/30/19 at 19:13:22 Mostly Fudgicles |

Title: Re: WHY......???? Post by jcstokes on 05/30/19 at 23:15:58 What if these "poopsicles" freeze half way out, what happens to male genitalia, if exposed to these very low temeratures for any length of time? Don't forget, humans need bragging rights. |

Kinda reminds me of my sick brain thinking.... I use to think just how embarrassed I would be at my funeral if no one shows up..... I am sure my wife would tell me: "See, I told you everyone thought you a ARSE-HOLE!!!" Me thinks better now, I don't think it would bother me....much. ;D |

Title: Re: WHY......???? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/31/19 at 11:26:39 Outside the immediate family,I can think of four who would be there. I'm comforted by that. Being loved by many idiots isn't as desirable as being loved by a few realistic people. |

Title: Re: WHY......???? Post by Ruttly on 05/31/19 at 14:53:53 It is not how many show when we chuck our bodies in a hole. It is how many lives you have touched in a positive way. How much love you have spread to everyone your near or a far. Did you make life better for others in your time here. Did you help those in need. It is far easier in life to be selfish and not see or care what goes on around you. It is far more difficult to be kind and spread love while your above ground and far more rewarding , and you won’t worry about how many show up. |

Title: Re: WHY......???? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/31/19 at 16:55:34 I'm sorry I'm not feeling so great today I just hate being unclear That was an unintentional thing And after rereading everything I'm thinking you're right |

Title: Re: WHY......???? Post by Dave on 05/31/19 at 18:36:09 JOG....I wasn't offended - I just can't pass up a chance to make a cheesy attempt at humor. |

Title: Re: WHY......???? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/31/19 at 20:54:25 Ohhh, I wasn't apologizing for being rude. I was apologizing for being unclear About being rude. |

Title: Re: WHY......???? Post by Ruttly on 05/31/19 at 22:48:16 That was a statement that was not meant to be directed at anyone. More of a statement of how I prefer to conduct my life , never too late correct ones actions. Wasn't too long ago I thought I would be the only one at my funeral, funny how having a close to death event changes how you see your world. A second chance at life is not to be wasted , Yes it's time for some redemption and focus on making the best of my time here. |
