Grok, can you prepare a list of everything I will need to solo climb Mt. Everest?

Glad to see fellow Messner fanboys here

Truly number one

I remember when he went left middle of night alone

No Os

Then walked down other side and climbed another peak alone

Eccentric no question

But man he had endurance

How about favorable weather conditions? You can’t put that in your backpack.

The author is clearly an idiot, so Grok should reply a backpack and a windbreaker and let the fool go to his Darwin death.

Messner and longtime climbing partner Peter Habeler were the first humans to summit Everest without supplemental O2 in '78. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay both protested the accreditation of the climb because they said it couldn't be done. So two years later Messner came back and did it again, only in 1980 he did it solo and unsupported.

And with only three toes, because that was all he had left after Nanga Parbat 1970 (when his brother was killed).

So if there's anybody knows anything about mountaineering without O2, it's him.
