this is why you can no longer get a permit to climb unless you agree to bring down more wight than you go up with, there's also clean up teams that go up every year and try and remove as much as they can, including the remains of people who have died on the mountain, although generally they move the bodies to a less or non visible space, because it's very difficult to bring that much weight back down.

Remeber: whenever someone tells you to strive for success and live each day like it's your last, every dead body on Everest was once a highly motivated person; so maybe just chill a bit.

sadly a lot of them are just very wealthy tourists and pay a lot of money to be babied up a very difficult mountain with a very small peak, and some just REFUSE to understand that "death zone" isn't a tongue-in-cheek, cutesy kind of name, it lacks the oxygen you need to be alive. Still, someone's bored generational wealth having kid is gonna walk up there without a tank and see what happens.

Well, most of the bodies are there because they chilled a little too much.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Thanks to global warming they won't be chilling for too long

Decent T-shirt idea. Small pool of target customers though.

Imo they should just setup a giant slide to go down.

Just throw/roll the trash/bodies a little further down the mountain as you come across it. Eventually, it'll make its way down.

Why won't they use pickup trucks? Are they retarded?

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I appreciated your joke, sir.

Hey thanks, for a second I was wondering if I actually made a goofy reply to a serious comment

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

You've really split Lemmy in half, but you absolutely got a chuckle out of me.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Probably because there isnt a road

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Why dont they just use GTA physics and drive up the vertical cliff faces? GTA is based on real life isnt it?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 12 points 6 days ago

Thats a good point i hadn't considered that

[–] diegantobass@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If that doesn't work maybe horses from Skyrim!?
