Just build the chair lift already and get it over with.
I want my Sherpa chair bearers like one woman had!
The great-grandsons of the pioneers.
Liberty is always only a generation from extinction, and God has not grandchildren, but it takes a couple of generations for privileged snowflakes to think that they are doing something roughly the equivalent of people who lived on the edge while living in a security that the majority of people even today can only dream of.
Glamping? Shouldn’t it be “Glimbing”?
Leftist decadence. I can guarantee you very few on the right would get involved in this crap.
That’s just wrong.
K2 is the climb for real men who don’t care about showing off to the ignorant on instagram.
To date, nobody has reached the summit in winter
Hey, I got an idea. How about instead they pay to have the base camp area cleaned up. Elite pigs.
I think it's great that we work to make areas more accessible and yes, I even recognize the value of taking the experience up a notch or two for people who are into that kind of thing. But we shouldn't loose sight of the value of real accomplishment.
I've hiked mountains and deserts - spent days at a time in both. If I spend all day hiking up to a peak and back down that's not the same experience as someone who hops on an ATV and zooms up and back in an hour. I like being on the trail and not seeing anyone else, seeing the last sign-in at the trail head was a week ago. Knowing I'm doing something few can or would. Sure, ATVs, off-road (dirt) bikes, dual-sport/adventure bikes, horses, etc. are fun. But we need spaces for each to enjoy. We can't pave every trail and set up a fast food joint half way there.
I did Everest TWICE - Mary Lynn Everest. Didn’t even use a Sherpa!
The photos of the luxury tents and the cell masts are all taken at base camp.
It would be interesting to know the mortality rate of the four week climbers who summit - if any of them do.
Wasn’t it just last year there was like a mile long line to get to the top?
Challenging Everest? Why not drop in at Ricky Pule’s, only 24,000 feet from this cinema. Ricky and Maurice offer a variety of styles for the well-groomed climber. Why should Tenzing and Sir Edmond Hillary be number one on top, when you’re number one on top?
I’ll go if there’s an elevator to the top.

If you want all the comforts of home, stay home.
Won’t be much longer and they’ll have funicular tram taking you to the Top Of the World Hilton. Aside from the view, I’m not sure the feat even comes with bragging rights anymore.
