The Everest is not about emotions. Above 8000 meters you are on your own and it becomes a march of survival. There is not place for mistakes. When I was there 3 years ago the Sherpa and my guide made it clear: at the first sign of something going wrong TURN BACK or YOU WILL DIE. There is no energy in one for two at that altitude. Everyone goes there knowing this. No one is romanticizing anything. If you can't walk, you will die. Period. That's why the area after Camp 4 is called The Death Zone. No help there. Most climbers died on the way back from exhaustion. When you're climbing the adrenaline pumped by the idea of reaching the summit is helping, but after that you're left on your basic strength and power. When we started climbing down, after the Hillary step a woman set down to rest because she felt exhausted. We've been waiting for 30 minutes and she still couldn't walk. She laid back and gave up. We had to leave her there. It broke out hearts but we couldn't do anything. There are around 200 bodies on the Everest to this day. There even is a valley called The Rainbow Valley, named after their colorful clothes. It's hard to understand what an almost 9 km high mountain means. You're spending days, weeks in total only to prepare your body (acclimatization). Only after that you can make the final push to the summit. Our group encountered bodies two, on top of what happened to that woman I was talking about earlier. You just have to walk past them, there is no other way. Everyone going there is assuming the risk of never turning back. That's Everest and most 8000+ meter summits' unwritten cruel rule.
This is not some silly internet story this is reality.

You should told the woman, ha ha, your going to die.
try climbing k2 you casual shitter
i love this website
would training cardio help get me to the top?
is it the first time you see a dead guy? I literally see them every other day faggot. Kids too sometimes. Why would you care if some lolfag fell for a kike's advertising scheme? Not saying I'm above traveling there but they get tons of old people and generally unhealthy people to go on these trips, and people are surprised when they die

This. First time I saw somebody shot dead in front of me I was 9.
im a cop and i see fucked up shit everyday. i lost all faith in humanity after about 2 years. funny though how this site (specifically /b/) back in the day conditioned me to not get freaked out. i really think more cops should have to watch the fucked up shit that gets posted there to desensitize them.

Climbing is good and cool. It requires skill and training and mental discipline, and knowing that you may suffer a spontaneous pulmonary or cerebral edema any any moment.
But the tourist hotspot ones are the worst combination of gullible people with too much money and ego. There are tons of mountains to climb that have better views and more interesting approaches and aren't full of idiot dentists who really should have spent that money on a nice car.
Tell us some police stories
Mo7nt everest is a joke.
People who summit it aren't even very fit.
The natives do all the surveying, the guiding, etc.
Rich white girls dish out thousands of ducats to take a photo up there nowadays, and with a guide it's relatively easy for the payor.
i find that most of the things cops like sharing are never the things people want to hear. like my favorite stories would be about when we pulled an armed robbery suspect out of their car at gun point or i recovered a stolen vehicle during a pursuit. but they never really translate well to stories. one thing i realized since starting this job is just how bad human decay is, specifically the smell. for example:
>get call from concerned neighbor that they havent seen john doe in a while
>apparently his grass is super high and there are tons of flies outside his windows
>upon hearing this its pretty obvious somebody is dead in the house and the state of decay is probably terrible
>get to house and its locked up
>the flies are everywhere
>you can definitely detect the stench of death which, if youve never smelled it is like a chemical shit stench
>find an unlocked window
>have a new young kid with me
>i tell him hes going in the window and you can see the hesitation in his face
>"you wanted to be a cop"
>we brace ourselves and i pop open the window
>smacking us in the faces was hot air and the most vile, putrid, vomit inducing stench ive ever smelled
>the new guy nearly pukes
>eventually he climbs through and makes a B-line for the front door
>he unlocks it and runs outside
>the stench is so bad that neighbors at least 10 houses down were coming outside to complain
>i ask the new guy if hes seen the guy and he caught a glimpse of him in the living room
>im pretty experienced with this kind of thing so i have a mask and peppermint oil in my bag exactly for these types of DOAs
>i go in and find the deceased lying on his stomach
>i couldnt get over how hot it was
>his decay was pretty bad, but it was what was under him that was worse
>apparently he had a heart attack and when he died he fell onto his heat vent
>the heat was turned up for the colder months
>it was now may
>this poor guy died and began melting into his heat vent
>literally melting
thanks for this story. if you have any more, there is an audience
Sleep Tight Green Boots
ill share some i suppose. anything youd like to hear
I have a similar story from when I used to work for the electrical board, the smell of cooked flesh is worse to me, any way
>Be me, rapid response engineer for power cuts and that sort of thing
>Get a call to an 'accident' in the basement of a building
>Arrive on site to find the fire brigade and ambulance lifting a covered stretcher out to the street
>Descend into said basement to make the power safe
>Burnt clothing scattered on the floor
>Rank odour of spilled guts and burnt flesh
>Turns out the lad iirc about 23 was using a hilty gun to clean off the brickwork and went straight threw a live 3 phase 200amp cable, which blew up at stomach hight, gutting him and simultaneously cooking him
I'll never forget that smell
intense. the job really gave me perspective on the fragility of life.
>get a call that theres a dog dragging a woman down the street
>get to the area and theres a dog running around and dragging a leash with no one attached to it
>find woman face down in a puddle of blood
>no signs of life
>immediately start doing cpr wondering wtf i just stumbled upon
>she died because her family bought her and her husband a puppy to keep them company and it pulled her too hard and she cracked her head on the sidewalk
>woman dies walking dog
Good post
I climbed Everest in 2018. Ask me anything.
Also going to sleep. Will answer in the morning

Describe the smell
I don't know if you've ever gutted a large animal and accidentally caught it's intestine, it smells of blood, shit and rather musky all in one smell, add that smell to what you get if you leave a bacon joint for too long in the oven, that's the smell of cooked human
I climb everest every day before breakfast, and instead of using oxygen I just hold my breath

i don't think i'd have the balls to do it even if I had $80k to spend on that trip.
Not much of a test if there’s luck involved. If you get fucked by a mega storm you’re dead no matter how fit you are.
I'd climb the Eiger.
Just climb fuji off season and see how that works out for you you weebs. Almost died alone up there because nobody was stupid enough to do it that day. Was stuck there for 16 hours in the rain i wanted to end it there by sleeping outside.
Grandpa did that

glory=/=going on expensive trips and needlessly risking your life to take instagram pictures.
join the army if you want glory. spending 5000 dollars on climbing gear and having a sherpa show your fat dumb ass how to get to the peak by pulling yourself up a rope isnt glorious. its risky, childish, wasteful and arrogant. I have nothing against actual hobbyist mountain climbers. normies who force themselves up everest to prove something are insufferable.

This. I have never met a Himalaya climber who wasn't a psychological basket case and a chore to be around. Those mountains attract the shittiest people on earth.
>pointless
>"I sure am amazing"
>reliant on Sherpas that are better suited for the environment than you
Dying on Everest is equivalent of dying to auto-erotic asphyxiation while endangering other peoples' lives at a price tag of $50'000
So I guess dying to extreme-masturbation is a little less selfish.

A lot of those who died could probably have been rescued if the other climbers on the mountain weren't so shit that they are at their limit taking care of themselves.
Everest is a meme.
SLEEP TIGHT GREEN BOOTS
How can that many people even climb at the same time? Seems like too many.
OP and other mountain climbers is Everest worth it?
I really don’t wanna be a fucking loser that needs Sherpas to carry my shit I feel like it’s a cop out. I do want to climb it for the views and yeah to swing my big dick around and bragged.
I’ve only climbed Mt Fuji which was real easy. I did it just out of season which was a bitch but waking up on the summit was very nice
everest is a meme, there is a line you have to wait in to get to the top,also it is littered wiht shit and there is a staircase you have to follow to get to the top, a kid could do it
how'd you train for it
They may be too many yes, in 1996 several people died in one expedition because they had to wait until after sunset to be able to descend from the top. Into Thin Air, by the author of Into The Wild, talks about how and why it happened
