Many people die trying to Climb Everest. How IST do you have to be to make it to the top and back down?

>how fit do you have to be to not use cope tools
remember these homosexuals carry tons of oxygen tanks.
>>how fit do you have to be to not use cope tools
Exactly as much as you, OP. You're fit enough, so go ahead and give it a shot, don't worry about it.
Not very it's mostly luck with the weather it's practically "glamping" which is why only rich people do it.
>it's mostly luck
There are people that are called to save people that can't get down. I wouldn't call it luck if these people are consistently being called.
>glamping
you're a moron
If you go high enough they won't save you anymore. They only save the people who haven't gotten all the way to the top.
As soon as you need an oxygen tank to breathe they give up the rescue efforts and will just leave you to die up there on your own.
I think not being a fricking homosexual is enough
you see, the death zone is dangerous if you stay too long
why people stay too long, because every agency goes at the same time so it creates a traffic jam
don't go with an agency
even better, climb a real mountain like K2
Rock clmbing peak performance is twinks.
Everest isn't so much difficult as it is expensive from what I've seen. Look up the cost of reaching the summit, and know you're being guided by sherpas who will carry a bunch of things and guide you, while you follow their routes. People who get up there aren't so much fit as they are rich people who could afford the trip.
>Many climbers will opt to avoid all the headaches and paperwork involved in a logistics-only climb and instead opt to pay for an all-inclusive expedition. These expeditions cost anywhere from $30,000 to $100,000, depending on the service
Who cares dude. You really think you're going to dive the deepest ocean without millionaire gear? Climbing everest is still a feat. If you want to challenge your physical strength, go pick some tiny ass mountain.
Everest is an endurance test not a fitness test.
A Tibetan, Nepalese or Peruvian could do it if they had the funds. It's not a feat if you're some reachgay who basically paid for a guided walk in the cold.
You need to be lean and have marathon-tier cardio at a minimum. You also need to acclimatize to elevation and everyone is different with that. I’ve done 0-17200 ft in 24 hours and I felt like a dead man ~15500 ft. I also tried going for 20,000 ft with days of acclimatization between 10-15,000 ft and a night sleeping at 15,500, and I failed to ascend past 18,000 ft for a 20,000 ft summit. For reference, I was doing 4 hours of cardio of week and also playing 90’ 11s soccer as a wingback, but obviously I couldn’t handle the altitude. If you have good genes (like your ancestors lived in the mountains for millenia), then you have a huge leg up. Unfortunately my ancestors are street shitting pajeets living on the Ganges so I couldn’t even make it to 20k.
>standing in line on tourist trap mountain
lol
lmao
couldn't be me
Yet I bet your ass goes to Disneyland and waits in line
you would lose that bet, moron
I wouldn't because you can replace Disney land with the grocery store, gas station, traffic. Your ass is still waiting in line somewhere.
>if i change the bet you would lose it
moron
The point still stands. You wait in lines on a daily basis. Like a cuck.
>pay tens of thousands to spend weeks climbing a mountain to spend hours waiting at the top for no reason at all
vs
>waiting a couple minutes for essentials like food
Black or just dumb?
And yet you can't see how moronic your point is. You're still waiting in line. Doesn't matter what the line is for.
you don't gotta wait in line bro you can just go around where theres no rope, grip, etc.
just shove them aside
Are you okay? Do you need to talk? You seem like something is bothering you besides an off hand comment about the tourist industry in Mount Everest.
leave the autist alone, he's just sperging out
>line cucks
Only other chad in this conversation with a brain
>pay to wait in line for 'leisure' activity
-queue to pay for essentials
Hmmmm...
It's funny that even when you change the bet you still lose. I never wait in line because self checkout is always empty due to people being too moronic to operate the machines themselves.
Sure. Next time you find yourself in a line remember you're a cuck who waits in lines. That's all. You specifically. Not anyone else. Just you are the cuck.
Nah, we go to your mom's house for a quick frick and wait in line there
What a bunch of pathetic homosexuals. Fricking beta lemmings.
if you have to ask you literally have no chance.
>payed for climbing on everest, died there
*diyed
You need to be in good shape. The sherpas won't literally carry your fat ass.
And mentally you need to remember that getting to the top is just halfway, not the endgoal. You're only done once you're back down on safe groujd
>“Don’t leave me,” she murmured again… “I am an American. I am an American,” the climber suddenly said… The decision to leave Fran came upon us without much discussion after that. The Uzbek climbers and Lhakpa had long been of that opinion
KWAB
Why can't they set up camp early to accommodate people who lost strength?
>“I am an American. I am an American,” the climber suddenly said
LMAO better story than Harry Potter
I loved every sentence of that one post, thank you anon
Was that her recently frozen on the left? I know she was called sleeping beauty due to her waxy/frosty reflective skin.
I looked it up. Apparently she made it to the top and died coming down. She also went without supplementary oxygen.
That's enough time to build a tradition no? Especially if death is already handled certain ways on the surface
I like how they just leave the dead there. Brutal.
What would you do?
Steal their shoes and sell them as memorabilia on ebay.
Apparently touching the dead except to bring them down the mountain is a grave sin to the sherpas
It's not like that tradition goes back centuries, they only stated properly climbing it 100 years ago.
not even that fit. I watched a documentary on the sherpas the other day and they do basically everything for you. it's not even impressive when someone climbs it. the sherpas carry all of your gear, oxygen, cook for you, set up your tents, and basically anything else you can think of. sometimes they even tie ropes to the people and literally pull them to the top. climbing everest isnt even an accomplishment when someone else is doing all the work
lmao i remember some rich guy got saved by sherpas but he thanked his sponsors for sending help. He never thanked the sherpas
If you gave me a year to prepare, I could easily. I know multiple out of shape boomers who have climbed everest.
For me it would be very not fun because I have Raynauds
he should have bought a Moncler
>get to the top of the tallest mountain on earth
>it's covered in garbage
thank you humanity, very cool
You can literally watch videos of people climbing k2 which is the deadliest mountain and its basically a joke
not at all what is depicted in movies with people climbing vertical cliff faces and falling to their deaths
basically the entire thing is a walk up a steep hill with some small complicated parts you have to get through like a rope ladder.
What kills you is the weather , falling ice/snow , or slipping and falling (you roll down the hill and nobody has enough energy to come and get you)
