  This is farcical. First person with a pacemaker? Maybe next year we'll see someone with a pacemaker carrying a bunny in a backpack. That will be a first.

  That 59 year old woman with the pacemaker was absolutely crazy! 12 hours to climb a 20 minute section! And then refusing to leave when a helicopter came, talk about summit fever and she was barely out of base camp!

  If they simply made everyone set their own lines and carry their own gear we could eliminate 99% of the modern problems on Everest

  The audacity and entitlement of some of these family members thinking others should risk their lives to recover the bodies of their egotistical family members. If Matt and others were so determined to do these expeditions, they were well aware that they could die and never be brought back down. It’s not like they died in combat or defending others. This is a hobby! At least they died doing a hobby they loved 🤷🏾‍♀️

  I plan on being the first man to climb K2 not only replacing boots for bowling shoes but also without supplemental underwear! I’m on oxygen for my congestive heart failure so I got that going for me already!!

  60k to companies, $3 to a porter. Wow, how embarrassing. I pay $10 to a guy to fill my tires with air. (As appreciation)

  The Nepalese government needs to make taking all your garbage back off the mountain and out of the valley part of the conditions for receiving a climbing permit. Without enforcement, most of these pampered climbers will happily keep polluting this mountain.

  If only one out of 100 million people climb Everest each year, that’s still 80 people

  Fifty years from now, &quot;we just installed the first traffic light on Everest and a crosswalk.&quot; At what point does summiting become an obscene gesture of egomania and gross consumerism?

  I just don&apos;t understant how these hogs can justify leaving empty trash on the mountain. &nbsp;Claiming it was to heavy to carry down is utter riduculousness as they carried it up there with items in the wrappers and after removing the items the trash would be even lighter and more compact! &nbsp;I don&apos;t care how hard the mountain is to climb it is sheer laziness and slobbishness to leave your rubbish on the mountain.
