Reply to comment by TheKodachromeMethod in Mt Everest from the Base Camp, Gorakshep [5500x37000] OC by AlphaIrwin

SAME, just the hellscape of the ice field alone makes me say NOPE. And I read when you shit and piss, the porters need to take it down from the mountain. Like they are already risking their lives for the elitist need to climb this pile of rocks, but they also need to rid of your waste? I read some climbers wear diapers, too.

Some of the people on that doc were very unlikable and did not respect the lives of the Nepalese.

I just watched 14 Peaks, and seeing a guy traipse up Everest while a bunch of white dudes pay 40k to have sherpas roll out a red carpet for them to gasp and wheeze like they did the work is laughable. The mountain doesn't want you.
