100% I could do it, I have no doubt. Most of you guys probably could too. I think bandrus was picturing the climb of Everest  as climbers scaling a 6 mile high cliff or something.

I’m a 29 year old guy that’s in great shape and altitude barely has an effect on me at all (I worked at a restaurant at the top of a ski lift in Vail, CO when I was in my early 20s, that was at 9,000 ft, didn’t even notice I was at an altitude) maybe you couldn’t do it, but I absolutely could. 

Like I said 90% of them are rich people that want to post something on their Facebook. Look at me I climbed Everest!!

Altitude is so weird---when to Breckenridge with friends a few years back, top slopes are around 13K---didn't feel anything, skied all day and into the night for as long as I could.  Everyone else on  the trip would do two or three runs and then need to rest because they were totally gassed.   I honestly thought they were joking the first couple of times, cause I didn't notice anything.   

Again, based on my quick reading yesterday at Quora, the slope and setup, there isn't a technical mountain climbing reason you couldn't do it.   I'm onboard Team 90's...and not cause I want to see him die, cause then I would just be left with Strike and Sux to talk about neckcar.   :cry:

Anyone seen this picture of people waiting to get to the top of Everest.   Guy says it normally takes 2.5 hours to get to the summit, says it took 8 hours on that day.   These nuts are literally standing in line, dying.   

 

Really dumb.  I just don’t get it.

Must be a real feat to get to base camp...or the summit.

Indian boy, 5, becomes youngest to trek to Mount Everest Base Camp

A 5-year-old boy has become the youngest boy to trek to Everest Base Camp.

Harshit Saumitra, from New Delhi, India, spent 10 days trekking 45 miles to reach the famous camp and is now hoping to register his name in the Guinness Book of Records.

Youngest girl on Everest wants to be role model for tribal children.

A 13-year-old Indian tribal schoolgirl who has become the youngest girl to climb Mount Everest has told the BBC in her first interview that she wants to be a role model for tribal children.

 

I'm betting on 90's doing it...he should put a FFT flag on the Summit, which will endear him so much to Mike, but who still won't send him any swag.

I'm not saying he couldn't do it but he is saying he can roll off the couch tommorow and do it if he wanted to and it is easy for rich old folks to post on Instagram.. That is simply not true. I'm sure some of us could do it with a few years of work towards it but none of us would spent that kind of money or time

From what I'm reading about Everest and how these people get up to the top...this is a pretty accurate depiction.

Either way, this bickering is kind of silly.   So I propose 90's* go to Everest and we bet on it...if he makes it you have to change your sig acknowledging that I was right and keep it for a whole year...if he dies, you can pick my sig.   

I think it's the only real way to settle this.   

*He can pay his own way---45K is pocket change around here...

It’s so easy a 5 year old can do it. 125% I would make that mountain my b!tch.

No effing way I would ever spend 45k to climb a rock though.

When I did training at the restaurant there were a few people that were getting dizzy and had to be sent back down the mountain and moved to another position for Vail Corp. I thought they were exaggerating but I guess some people it really does affect in a weird way. I’ve spent 99% of my life a few feet above sea level as well and there was 0 adjustment for me.

The last few days worth of coverage have started to make me think this whole Everest thing isn't that tough.  Seems any schmo can do it....Just hire a slave to help you and your gear up the mountain, and get in the line. 

This "feat" seems unimpressive to me now

I see where some died due to an avalanche. Why don't these focking retards just wait until summer and climb. :rolleyes:

Yeah, in her own words: "Not to take away from our journey but I felt compelled to explain the difference between our trekking trip to Everest Base Camp vs the experienced and professional mountaineers and alpinists who are CLIMBING Everest. If all goes well, we will have completed what is only 1/6 of the entire trip for someone who actually climbs (8 weeks total). We stand in awe of the fortitude and training and superhuman strength it takes to attempt a feat like Everest and are deeply honored just to be here and feel the Khumbu vibes."

That's the way I'd do it, but I'm not particularly interested in the overall region. It would be impressive to take in the sheer magnitude of the mountain in person though.

I’ve mounted more three hundred plus pounds wemens than any. Fawk Everest. Take on climbing a six footer and do your best without oxygen. And thinking “I’ll get there whilst she almost smothered you on top of you. It was fun though. I brought her to eat Chinese at Red Dragon the night before.

My 21 yo nephew climbed to Base Camp 1 of Everest last year. 8 days to climb up and said it was miserable... very cold and hard work. 

He saw lots of fat tourists at the base who didn't look like they had a chance of going far with hired Sherpas toting most of their stuff. Also saw a lot of tourists being carried back down.

He said his permit only cost $20 or so, but a permit to climb to the peak is $12,000. 

This has been a bucket list item of mine. A friend who went like 5 or so years ago said that it's so covered with human shiiite and trash it's disgusting. So, I think I will try and find another hiking type goal. Maybe the Dolomites or something.

I'd give you about a 75% chance.  Altitude would be your biggest obstacle as with most.  Every time you enter extreme altitude it is a crapshoot as to how your body reacts.  Guys like Scott Fisher(guide on Everest-very young) who summitted like 8 times succumed to altitude in 1996 & died.  Acclimatization is mandatory & usually takes a least a month.  You use bottled oxygen most of the way.  Everest has about 4 or 5 camps past base camp which you go up to, spend a few days & return.   the last base camp(death zone) is the stepping stone to assault the summit.  this is where it gets dicey because if a storm comes up you have to wait it out in order to summit.  You really have only about 2 days in the death zone before you have to go down hill, fast.  100 MPH winds are not out of the ordinary, neither is 30 below 0 temp.  things get hairy quickly.  The 1996 disaster was caused by a late turn around time.  If going for the summit & you don't reach it by say 2:00 PM you turn around so you get back to camp 4 or 5 before dark.  The wait times because of an excess amount of climbers all going to the summit contributed greatly to the 1996 disaster, but it was the summit fever that got most as they reached the peak too late to descend in the light of day.  Also about the time they headed down a storm with temps. & wind, like previously described hit the mountain.  visibility was 1 foot.  

Everest is commercialized and has been for 20 plus years.   You need stamina & good weather.  Mountaineering experience is really not necessary  on this mountain anymore.  For instance the Hillary Step has a ladder you climb.  Roughly $55,000.00 to be guided.  From start to finish at least 6 weeks & more like 2 months, plus.

Reinhold Messner, the greatest mountaineer of all time did Everest without bottled oxygen.  First man to do so.

Absolutely, no desire to climb Mt. Everest and I hike up mountains quite a bit. The cold and snow are the major deterrent.

In recent years, nearly 70% of people who "attempt" to summit succeed. The youngest / oldest to do it... 15 and 80. With modern gear, oxygen, and sherpa's toting everything.... the greatest challenge is having enough cash.

With good weather, Stephen Hawking could make it.
