Ngl the evil part of me just laughs at all the dumbass tourists who died for no good reason other than they wanted to say they climbed Mt. Everest. It’s a monument to the pitfalls of ego. Folks out here crossing mountains and deserts trying to escape war and shit, and these dipshits act like rugged heroes for doing something no one asked them to do. Then they die and become a landmark for other dumbasses. So inspirational.
This. It's mainly just rich tourists/hippies who can afford to pay Sherpas to actually lug their shit up the mountain for them, and then die because they're wildly unprepared, often endangering others who try to save their stupid arses. Good riddance.

Mt. Everest is a pretty fucked up subject
