    It's how it's supposed to be, and I recommend everyone to do it. There are peaks out there for all skill levels, including none. The experience is still awesome. If you want to spend 5 hours and have no skills, there is a nice mountain out there for you, same if you're incredibly experience and want to spend two months. The best part is, they are for the most part empty.

    NEVER climb a mountain by yourself. NEVER climb ANYTHING by yourself. I say this as one who used to free climb up hundred foot cliffs. One slip, and you could be knocked out, injured, or dead, and no one would know. Any sort of injury, or even loss of gear, and you could die. Always bring at least one other to watch and report any injuries or falls.

    Here's some event on Mount Everest that truly impresses me: in May 2006, one climber on the descend was left for dead at 8700m, after his team had tried for hours to rescue him. An ascending team found him the next morning, still alive against all odds, and gave up on their own ascend to rescue him. The members of that team were: - Daniel Mazur (U.S.) - Andrew Brash (Canada) - Myles Osborne (UK) - Jangbu Sherpa

    However, that year was also the same year that David Sharp died while sitting in a cave and waiting for a storm to pass, very close to where that rescue happened. Several climbers were blamed for not helping him, but the truth of the matter is that if you can't look after yourself and keep walking at that altitude, you might as well sign your own death certificate. Ultimately, you live or die at the mercy of the mountain and most rich tourists don't get that.

    Fun story, when I was a junior in high school our football team had a motivational speaker and he was talking about the mountain type Sherpa and how everyone in life needs to be a Sherpa. My buddy who was a real history nerd shouts out “they’re also a race of people as well” and the motivational speaker was like “no they’re not” and they got into like a 5 minute argument about it where the motivational speaker full on stopped his speech to heckle with this kid. I think about it everytime I watch it. It’s a much brighter thought than what they really go through in real life

I honestly don't remember my reaction to it but I can't imagine I felt uplifted by watching this guy in a onesie doing jump rump tricks. I probably made fun of it. I wish I had come out back then. It sure would have been a lot more fun. Edited to get the person's name correct. It was definitely not Buddy Guy, a famous guitarist, doing jump rope tricks.

That said, while they do have economic gains from that industry, it's extraordinarily unethical by the standards of most western countries to participate in that industry, and every thoughtless like and subscribe we give to a yuppie taking a selfie on Mt. Everest is promoting an industry with very low worker's rights standards, inexcusable mortality rates and a simply insane raison d'etre since the explosion of the selfie culture. If it were done differently, with higher standards expected of the mountaineers, higher pay rates for the sherpas, better risk assessment and an industry accepted lower danger threshold for determining that the climb is too dangerous... then sure, knock yourselves out, instagrammers. Oh, and a better understanding that the vast majority of those taking the selfies would've never made it up there without the trusty sherpa that did not get included in the selfie.

    “Taking a trip for six months, you get in the rhythm of it. It feels like you can go on forever doing that. Climbing Everest is the ultimate and the opposite of that. Because you get these high-powered plastic surgeons and CEOs, and you know, they pay $80,000 and have Sherpas put the ladders in place and 8,000 feet of fixed ropes and you get to the camp and you don’t even have to lay out your sleeping bag. It’s already laid out with a chocolate mint on the top. The whole purpose of planning something like Everest is to effect some sort of spiritual and physical gain and if you compromise the process, you’re an asshole when you start out and you’re an asshole when you get back.” - Yvon Chouinard

You normally can't see it from most towns but there are multiple points from the highway from where you can see it. However, most of the time what you see is just clouds. So people who travel a lot or are really passionate about it see it. However, if you can get to see the view of mountains just after the rain clears in the monsoon season. I promise you you will not regret it.

    @@wynterfir The sherpa/mountain tribe culture/religion is different from major religions. They consider climbing and exploring their mother mountain their sacred duty. Even their death on the mountain is just their natural unification with their mother mountain. These trends of thoughts have toned down nowadays due to education and hinduism. However, a very different conversation takes place when real estate market booms in your area. Conclusion, YES sitty climbers are bad for them but genuine mountain lovers are welcome. Also the environment is not that bad now. Some trash in the trekking route seems managable. However, serious problems will start to arise when the water springs start giving out dirty water.

    To add some things when you enter the death zone, it's the immediate part of the everest before the summit , you literally start the dying process. You slowly start to die. And due to severe lack of oxygen your decision making ability reduces significantly. If you are summiting you have to start the last climb of 1.3 km at midnight because it'll take about 12 to 14 hrs. Remember you are dying. And if you get to the summit you can only stay at the top only for 20min at the maximum. It's usually the decent that kills you. Because you only have few hours to get down from the death zone to lower altitude, to reverse the process of death. If you get stuck even for 1 hr, you are a dead man walking. You'll see people passing you without helping while you are dying. Your companions will abandon you in a heartbeat because it's a life and death situation. If they stay to help you, they die too

    I can't claim to add anything to this but from a practical experience that anyone can have, I have done a climb/hike where literally the minimum amount of strength required to move one step forward was greater than the maximum amount of strength that I had to move forward. So you literally can't more. That's how people die on mountains. At some point the will to go on is not enough. It teaches you RESPECT. Sadly lacking in so many people these days.

    Regarding the "Don't get scared" at 8:00 - from what I've read about climbers they certainly are scared - or at least respectful of the danger. But in a situation like that getting scared aka panicking will very likely get you and/or your teammates killed.
