:lol: Everest is the new Sunderland Airshow. A sea of arseholes. Is it just me or is one of them holding a metal detector....? :huh:

:lol:

The closest our erstwhile metector will ever get to Everest is digging up Ted Moult for his rings.

I’ve just realised that every person you see here will be clipped on to a single fixed rope. 

Taking an educated guess, I’d say the biggest stretch between anchors is going to be about 40-50m, which means you’ll have roughly the same number of people on that section of rope. 

Given how crammed together they are, if just one of them slipped and weighted the rope, you’d be looking at the rest getting pulled off the ridge, with the high likelihood of the rope going “ping” and snapping. 

Fucking madness.

It must take the shine off it a bit.

You stand there on the peak as king of the world, master of all you survey and then you turn around to see 320 other cunts waiting to do the same thing.

Trekking halfway across London tomorrow morning to do the "pilgrimage" to Bushy parkrun, the original venue, because apparently that's a thing.

Setting up & volunteering at our local junior parkrun on Sunday morning.

Running in the Vitality London 10,000 on Monday morning.

 

My life used to be booze and pies and lie-ins. What went wrong? :lol:

I saw a documentary about a British Armed Forces expedition to climb up Everest from the northern side. It was unsuccessful due to a gully in part of the route basically being an avalanche waiting to happen. Anyway, while they were there they were called upon to rescue a mountaineer. Another mountaineer had fallen on them, broke their leg and left them and continued on. Every other climber just walked past them too. The bloke who caused the injury was later seen hitting golf balls off the summit. If the forces lads hadn’t saved the stricken mountaineer it seems he’d have been left to die.

I'd love to see Everest even from base camp or one of the nearby foot hills. I know I never will now because 1) fucking life 2) I'm not fit enough for this nowadays 3) the mere thought of the flight into Lukla terrifies me 4) I know I would suffer altitude sickness even at base camp altitude, and 5) the over commercialisation sickens me and I don't want to add to it. 

 

Regarding point 4, that's the lottery of Everest. Some people just can't handle the altitude no matter how fit they are. Those poor sods that have died and are probably right now dying drew the short straw. There's nothing to prove climbing Everest any more. They should ban climbing on it full stop. Leave Sagarmartha in peace.
