My guess, they don’t believe the world will end for them.

Only for us.

The elite think only they are smart enough to warrant saving. And that the rest of us only deserve to serve them.

Shouldn’t they just cancel it altogether? We will be burning up by then I think.

I’d watch.
I know a guy that tried Everest twice. Both times he got a pulmonary embolism.
That’s a lot of money and training to almost die.
I bet Sherpas constantly wonder what is wrong with white people.

Yes, I like reading about the people who attempt K2. I know there’s that small window around May 10 that’s supposed to be optimum. I liked the book “Into Thin Air” and of course, I pull for everyone to make it, but they just don’t. It’s a rather crazy lottery.

And Everest. I’ve often thought it might be interesting to go to Kathmandu and see it, but that’s about it. And even the altitude of Kathmandu might make this flat lander dizzy. LOL

They moved those games to Innsbruck (they had hosted before).
I’m inclined to think if they delay the selection, they’d almost be forced to reuse a previous site.
