For a glorious moment I thought it was Blizzard entertainment.
Same. And it was more a “how did they manage” than a “would they”, because of course they would.
Fucking Blizzard. If its not asexually harassing worker. Its stranding climbers on mountains.
How do you asexually assault someone. Is that when you make no sexual advances on your coworkers — against their will?
I suppose that’s just normal assault
agreeing to “non-consensual sex”
WoW
Fuck Blizzard though, regardless of the type.
I mean, 2 damage aoe was pretty good at the time.
Is there anything these assholes wont fuckup? I’m here waiting for Warcraft 4 and Starcraft:Ghost, and all Blizzard can do is harrass their female employees and strand mountain climbers. wtfman
I’m glad I’m not the only one to first think it was the company, not the weather event lol
came for this type of reply.
World of Starcraft
Hahaha, that was my first thought as well, until I remembered blizzards are a weather phenomema.
I’m not sure this is related to to the story. If you read the article, One thousand climbers shared a milkshake from dairy Queen and couldn’t continue due to a food coma.
Amazing that there are even 1000 people climbing it at the same time. I shudder to think what the once pristine mountainside used to look like vs now.
It looks like a garbage trail littered with corpses. https://allthatsinteresting.com/mount-everest-bodies
The world’s largest monument to vanity.
Honestly, as long as the rich assholes are dying and not the native guides, I’m seeing it as a honey pot situation. Not nice for the environment there, but still a net positive.
Rich don’t get you up Everest. Read Into Thin Air. The climb is horrifying, even with rich people gear and Sherpa’s.
Idiots have tried K2, which is more dangerous.
That’s Dubai
larges mummification event in recent time.
and POOP.
They’re mostly waiting for good weather during a short climbing season. It’s not year round. So basically everyone goes at once
I thought the window was in May. It certainly ain’t October!
Good point
Watched 14 Peaks last week and when they got to Mount Everest, there was a literal line of like 100+ people queued all the way up to the top of the mountain.
There is a line to get to the summit sometimes
A lot are trekkers rather than climbers if that helps. Their environmental footprint is much smaller.
Shout out to Star Trek fans for their small environmental footprint
Man, first Overwatch 2 and now this.
That’s the first thing I thought too lol
You guys don’t have snowmobiles?

Wtf are 1000 climbers doing on Mt Everest.
Impressing the bots on Facebook.
Every last CEO, internet influencer and wealthy investor in the world has “climbing Everest” on their bucket list to validate their identities and they want all their employees to see the pictures of them spending absurd amounts of money to climb a mountain and a see a view almost as high as a passenger airliner.
I’ve said for a while that Nepal and China will have to do something drastic soon.
The deaths and trash and bodies are piling up, and eventually it’s going to make the entire “adventure” so repulsive that people are going to stop spending tens of thousands to go try to climb a rock.
Either they’re going to radically restrict access to the mountain, or if they really want to keep the tourism money coming, they will have to consider developing the region. Concrete and asphalt basecamp with roads to nearby cities, facilities and helipads and a reinforced complex of resorts and hotels designed to withstand storms and with oxygen bars on every level. Stairs and guardrails all the way up to the summit and drone-patrols watching for people passing out.
Enjoying the money of useful idiots.
What the fuck is one climber doing on Mt. Everest?
Your chances of dying are much higher than making it to the summit. It’s only a mountain; what’s the big deal anyway? There are much safer ways to get exercise and fulfillment; stay on level ground and live.
From wikipedia, ~13,000 people have summitted. From wikipedia, ~ 400 people have died on everest. What’s this about your chances?
Lich King ARG goes hard
None of those idiots was forced to go up there.
So who’s going to be the new Green Boots?
Nature is Healing 🌱 ☀️
Sorry, responded to the wrong post.
Well I need good Carma so I hope they survive to make the movie about it.
Good!
I’m really hoping you somehow think this is about the company Blizzard…
