You beat me to it.

Why climb over him, why not just slide him down the side?

Cwils2222•29 months

No disrespect to the dead man, but he’s in the way. Why not kick him down the cliff?

I prefer something more relaxing and less deadly in my down time.

BabyTac•29 months

Do they leave all their litter and trash up there when they’re done?

The Mick•29 months

Yes. They leave litter, shite, ropes, dead bodies, whatever.

fricking stupid

I see 20 people in video and only one dead so far. Today was a good day. And you're a dumb arse Larry for saying 25% die.

I will never understand what people see in climbing a mountain.

cajunmud•29 months

Because it's there, I suppose. Holler at me when y'all get back...haha.

That's what makes you you and them them.

It's not about all about the climb. The final ascent is a microcosm of the entire journey. There is much joy in the training, traveling, new experiences, and the camaraderie along the way.

You gotta be a total dumbass to do that.

More money than sense

jp4lsu•29 months

No thanks

Rex Feral•29 months

Thanks, I'd rather drink bourbon and watch football till I die.

Kelvinator•29 months

Looks like fun.

Annapurna has a higher death rate. K2 has more dumbass gapers trying to climb it so it will become #1 but Annapurna is a much more dangerous climb. Upside is that it's not nearly as crowded.

Ole Hassan has one hell of a view!

Death rate in your description is incorrect. It’s not 25% of people that try to climb the mountain die.

kciDAtaE•29 months

What is it then?

So when does Disney start offering helicopter rides to the top?

I climbed my first 14,000 footer last summer and realized, I hate hiking. I’m good for the rest of my life, not climbing mountains.

This is an acceptable way to die, but there should be a provision that you are stripped bare and nature comes to reclaim your body.

cajunmud•29 months

We were at our local dive after work in Houston one night and some guys came in trying to raise money to climb K2. We all gave em some money and signed a flag that they were gonna plant when they got to the top. Some serious dudes. Don't know if they ever made it or not.
