^ The Rapid Ascent team including @carolinegleich and @rob.lea, guides @chadpeele and @carla.perez.ec reached the summit at 7:05am on May 24 in a solid push from camp 3.
* haven't seen any social media/confirmation on a safe descent
I'm an old now armchair mountaineer and of the opinion that these internet people may have stood on the same summit as those climbers who reached it in the pre-professional guiding era; their accomplishment by no means compares to the toil and grit that those hard man of another era displayed; now get off my lawn!Scientists now have decisive molecular evidence that humans and chimpanzees once had a common momma and that this lineage had previously split from monkeys.

People dying on Mt. Everest, what else is new
^^ just read about a client that used TWO guides because of his weight concerns to help him get to the top. Collapsed upon reaching the summit and died.

According to this there is a 1 in 60 something chance of dying for all Everest attempters.
Also old people are way more likely to die.

On second thought, we shouldn’t summit Everest. ‘Tis a silly place.

idiotic climb to 19,347 ft after a couple months of gradual weakening due to parasites, a broken hand and torn meniscus convinced me there was no longer any need to go that high. or be that stupid.

it is beautiful to look at and look from.
it is pretty leisurely compared to some but the conditions were shitty and i was weak and it was egomaniacally stupid because i had missed the chance to climb it the last time years earlier because of a body surfing injury. i used everything i had to the top and barely made it down. i used to have an affinity for pain and that mostly cured it. i was an idiot and i definitely escaped with my life.

Highest I've ever gone is 11K+ on Rainier.
Also been to the top of Huayna Picchu which is just under 9K.

huayna picchu is incredible. i spent a day up there looking down and across and always breathing "WOW." mp is probably my favorite place not yellowstone.
we hiked the inca trail and spent 3 nights in aguas calientes and 3 days in mp and cried when we left.

Perhaps they can make a line for people with 12 or less items.
