Mt Everest has around 200 dead bodies (pics)

[Slapper]

There was a big scandal a few years back because a TV channel from New Zealand actually recorded a man dying and left him to die, even though the man was begging for help.

These fuckers get home to NZ and actually show the "harshness" of Everest to everyone's amazement and disgust.

That's the reason why the Discovery Channel stopped running that "Climbing Everest" show, because it was a really fucked up place to be in.

Squadfather will be back on Getbig once he's completed conquering Everest.

The speed that US blacks walk it would take 2.5 yrs to climb it. Not to mention frostbite on the buttocks with pants hanging down.

Nice bottle of Johnie Walker for you

Honestly, who cares?   These idiots want to do it precisely because its dangerous. If they die, they die.  Same with dumbass hikers, ski boarders etc... who venture into dangerous areas.  We should not waste time, money and manpower "rescuing" them.   They would stop doing that dumb shit without a safety net.

I do a lot of reading and have read a few great books regarding Everest climbs and recall an incident in which two climbers fell over the side of a cliff while tied together.

The climber on the higher end of the rope realizing that the situation was hopeless ended up cutting the rope in order to save his own life.

Not positive but I sort of recall that the climber who was 'released' fell into some sort of crevase and had no way to go but DOWN further into the ice flow and eventually found a way out and returned to base camp in pretty bad condition, but still alive.

There seemed to be some question about murder charges, etc.

Anyone recall this incident or the name of the book which was eventually made into a very interesting movie???

Touching the void. Fantastic film. Not Everest though.

I believe The Falcon did this and Everest already.  He drank a bunch of beers, worked out near a pond, did 8 hrs manual labor, ate bags of white potatoes, and then took a giant pyramid shit which lifted him to the peaks of both mountains.  Don't ever doubt the powers of John Falcon.

Thanks, TRUEGRIT. I'm gonna look for the video/book once again. I recommend it to one and all.

[stuntmovie]

Here are some remarks about the "TOUCHING THE VOID' video. You can find the complete film someplace on the net and watch it for free or you can rent or purchase it someplace.

I recommend you all watch it and I think TRUEGRIT would agree.

One man's opinion ....

Harrowing Just to Watch!!! By James Carragher on May 26, 2004 , Format: DVD

My son and I came out of the theater exhausted just by watching this quasi-documentary reenactment of the 1985 ascent up an unclimbed route on the Siula Grande glacier in Peru.

The film's impact is heightened by the excellent cutting between the actor/climbers and Simon Yates and Joe Simpson, who recall their actions, reactions, and feelings nearly 20 years later.

Disaster strikes on the descent, where -- as one of them notes -- "80 percent of accidents happen."

After Simpson breaks his leg in a fall, Yates -- against impossible odds -- continues to try and get him down.

Finally, Simpson falls again, off the edge of the mountain.

After hours of hanging on to what feels like dead weight, Yates cuts the rope to prevent himself from being gradually pulled into the void.

Simpson's survival and return to base camp is nothing short of miraculous, suggesting that man is never more tenacious about life than when he is closest to losing it.

Though far different in its circumstances, his story rivals that of Shackleton and the Endurance in Antartica three quarters of a century before.

An underlying issue, addressed briefly in the film, is whether Yates should have cut the rope.

Apparently some other climbers criticized him for doing so, but Simpson always defended his action.

I have no idea how well the technical aspects of Touching the Void are done, but to this mostly earthboard amateur, they looked brilliantly and truly shot.

Danger and beauty are scarcely separable in Touching the Void.

When you are not immersed in the terror of Yates' and, especially, Simpson's plight, the frigid beauty of the glacier, the colors within its crevasses are glorious.

A story of recklessness and great determination, superbly told, filled with many "how did they ever shoot that?" moments, Touching the Void must be seen.

wow. This caught my attention

You''ll enjoy it OTH.

TRUEGRIT, What  was the name of  the Mt Everest  book where some of the climbers got lost in a 'whiteout' on their way back down and one  fell off a cliff and the other was found 'dead' in the snow and left there.

But he hadn't died yet and somehow managed to get up and walk back to the base-camp to everyone's amazement.

I sort of recall that he lost most of his fingers.

Any help on that one?

That's "Into thin air"..


The guy that survived was Beck Weathers. He lost his nose and I think both hands but really should have died given the exposure.

Fuck them.  How many of them have ever been in a situation where they are being slowly dragged to their death by their dumbass friend who breaks his leg and then on to make things worse, goes and falls off the edge of the fucking mountain and is pulling his buddy over with him?  Always assholes who are high and mighty until they are in the situation.  99% of the assholes criticizing him would never even have bothered trying to help the guy at all let alone keep trying after the retard falls off the edge and is dragging them over.  Fuck that comment makes me mad!!
Does sound cool.
