Spend thousands to make life changing dream come true

Is there a period during the year when there is less people or is it that packed all year round?

There's only a very limited window when it can be *safely* climbed I think.

yeah most times of the year there's no oxygen up there at all

So all the millennial faggots climb it during the easy mode period and then pretend it's some kind of great achievement?

Tbf, my dad climbed it and said it was mostly other mid-life-crisis boomers

Its not the easy mode period its the “if you climb anytime other than now your a fucking dead idiot” period.
Sounds like youre the redditor

Yes, only 3 people have climbed it during winter. It's summer now.

It's even better, most just pay native sherpas to carry literally everything for them

fuck it. if you climb up there, you deserve to die.

Why don't they just fly a helicopter to the top?

Now I want to climb up there just to kick them all off. Imagine that: Amok on the Everest. They'll make a movie out if it!

Not enough air for most helicopters to climb there. I guess it is technically possible for some advanced helicopters, but I guess people who are that rich aren't that stupid

lmao

>he doesn't know about the giant eagles that can just fly you to the top

That would be neat, but you might get yourself killed too just by exerting yourself up there.

it's mostly rich boomers at this point
the permit alone runs something like 11k
you can get a guide company to take you and even carry your shit for you
that can get over 100k depending how much you want, for some this is a real luxury outing
a package that won't leave you stranded without oxygen or food runs between 30k and 50k
So it's mostly western boomers spending their retirement money for something that doesn't mean what it did when they were a kid, practically being carried up the mountain by these Sherpas
They've said the main cause of death this year was inexperience

>Oxygen masks
>Cold as fuck
>Obviously tired
>Have to wait in a line for retards to take pictures
Sounds hella epic to me

bring a gun with you, i want to see this in the news.

>bring a gun with you
>try to shoot
>bullets wont combust because there's no oxygen

over 200 dead bodies are on everest

is that Everest movie any good btw

what an interesting way to murder someone. just convince them to go climb everest with you and then do the deed. nobody will know

Kino soundtrack. Would been more kino about a story about a swede called goran kropp

>what an interesting way to murder someone. just convince them to go climb everest with you and then do the deed. nobody will know
I think the line of 1000 people you're climbing with would probably spot something
see the pictures

It's expensive and good luck convincing your victim to come on a seriously dangerous task like this for lols. But theoretically yeah, if you can get past those obstacles.
I'm surprised more celebrities/extremely rich people don't do this

>over 200 dead bodies are on everest
Would be a neat premise for the next Mummy movie

Go to K2 or one of the bumfuck random mountains in the himalayas or the alps
Please tell me you're not actually this stupid

>is that Everest movie any good btw
It was alright. But I saw it in cinemas. Without the spectacle, it's probably kind of dull and shallow

Zombie apocalypse on the Everest?

>implying millennials have money for Everest
It's mosly middle-aged limp-dicked upper-middle-class men.

It's mostly middle-aged doctors or engineers hitting the middle-life crisis, looking to start a new career of a corporate motivational speaker.

funny how Lhotse only has a few hundred when it's literally right next to Everest. I think you can even get there from camp 3.

shut the fuck up you stick in the mud

*Record scratch*
*Freeze frame*

Is this the rejected script for GoT episode 3

I really enjoyed the movie. gets pretty tense. worth a watch. foreshadows the shitfest that climbing everest has become

SOURCE

>Hey, people, I climbed Lhotse!
>Wut?
>Lhotse, guys, the peak.
>So?
>It's high, like 8 thousand 5 hundred and...
>Is it smaller than Everst?
>Uh, yes.
>Did you climb Everest?
>N-no.
>Fuck off, loser.

>you climbed where?
>lfmao literally right next to it, why didn't you
climb Everest instead

At least he got off the mountain.

its one the best movies of the decade

This being the internet I don't expect people to believe me, but I summited Everest in 2013 so I do have some insight into this.

I am not a professional climber, I started training for it about 3 years earlier with little to no experience before that. I think the biggest reason it is still somewhat of a niche thing to do is that you need to invest a lot of money and time if you are not a professional climber who can get sponsorships and take the time. You will most likely need 4 months of free time in the year you plan to do it, with no guarantee you will make it. If your expedition leader says he won't take you further, you will have to return unless you think you can do it solo (you should never do this). So the investment you make is not guaranteed so even if you can make it happen, most people are not willing to make it.

The climb itself is not that difficult, it is for sure exhausting and you need to be in your top physique, but honestly a lot of the mountaineers are not athletes, they just happen to be people who have the time and money to do something like this and are in good shape. I reckon MOST people could do it, as long as they can handle acclimatization.

Do you ever regret investing time and effort into it?

What else have you climbed?

Someone needs to challenge elon musk on this one

>climbing lhotse when everest is right next door

You can climb it all year round, although most people climb in spring

that's a glove and not a person

After a few years, the glacier will spit them out at the bottom where it slowly flows and melts during the seasons.

Yeah, good luck climbing it in the seasons when the wind is 200 km/h.

No, I had the time and resources to travel so mountaineering was something I enjoyed at the time. I didn't plan to summit Everest even, I did not think I was able to but weather conditions allowed me to summit which I probably would have not have the nerves to do usually.

Highest mountain I climbed before going to Himalaya was Aconcagua, I also climbed several mountains in Himalaya in 2012 but only one I summited was Cho Oyu.

>when the wind is 200 km/h
Those are called storms, user, and they can happen in any season. The actual difficulty arises from the fact that summer time is rain season in Nepal which means lots a snowfall in the mountains, and wintertime is much colder. Autumn is getting more popular.

How did you fund Cho Oyu and Everest? What other Himalayan peaks did you attempt?

What do you do for cash?

That only guarantees the movie gets made even quicker

>How did you fund Cho Oyu and Everest?
You set up a charity in the memory some relative you never knew who died of something exotic.
You raise money through that and pledge every dollar after expeditionary costs goes to the charity.

Easy peasy. Between that and getting some sponsorships from local outfitters, if you're a good fund-raiser, it won't cost you a dime.

Financial services, creating exotic investment vehicles for high-level investors.

I paid for it out of my own pocket, keep in mind prices will depend on your connections and experience, you can be carried up mountains if you need/are willing to pay for it. I have a close relative who is a professional mountaineer so that helped.

Broad Peak and Gasherbrum II I was also on, but attempted is the wrong word because I honestly don't have the balls to do the more technical aspects of climbing these routes which is required for the upper levels, for me it was learning to climb on ice/snow.

I am part-owner of a family owned business.

>Can literally everyone climb it nowadays?
No. You can pay a lot of money to go as part of a group but the chances of you making it anywhere near the summit without shitloads of oxygen climbing experience is slim to none.

>I am part-owner of a family owned business.
If that's not the sweetest gig out there, I don't know what is. My good friend in high school was a colossal fuckup, didn't go to college, super-fun guy but totally windblown future.
I ran into him after college and he's running his family's flower delivery business with his sister. She's doing the work, he's the charming front-of-house salesman.

Life on easy mode, man. If he weren't the nicest guy in the world, I'd resent him.

Yeah I know what you mean, it allows for some different and more 'fun' life choices than you normally can do. I am not some super rich guy, but I had no family commitment and no loans to pay, so that allowed me to do this in relative financial security, and obviously the safety of returning to employment after.

About resentment, I have met many people oblivious to their own fortune who live the life of your friend, and I think it's best to not think about it. Right now there are people in the world who are having fun with beautiful women on their own private island and at the same time people are dying off hunger. It is a perverse and cruel world, I do not know how to resolve this in my own mind.

it all looks so easy from this pic

>guide whips out his kukri knife and beheads you

not trying to be edgy but the way he spins is fucking hilarious, looks like something out of a cartoon

>I am part-owner of a family owned business
That must be nice. I went to school with a ton of shitdicks who’s daddy gave them the keys to the business. Some did well some tanked. My family didn’t do shit. Feels bad.

more like $40,000

someone did it once but it was a super pimped out copter and he needed one in a million weather with the perfect updraft

why do so many people think "millennials" are shitting up everest when they will probably be the cause of the collapse of the sherpa climbing economy when the last boomers die out and no one can pay the exorbitant fees. also the only reason it is much more crowded this year is the permit price going up so people are freaking out
