From what I've read, it appears as though once you get above a certain level, there is NO excess energy to do anything else.
This is why the bodies and the trash remain up there.
There were threads last year on Everest, and I did some external reading.

“Touching the Void” is a must see movie; about a climb in Peru, not Everest, but it really brings the climbing experience to your tv room.

A former company would try to have meetings places like Breckenridge Co and half the attendees from the east would leave and drive back to Denver the first night.We stop having national meetings at 9000 after a few fiascos .

That would not have proved that vegans can do anything. It would have proved that he could climb a mountain. No loss to the world.

If you don’t eat Baconators, you DON”T BELONG in America. Get the hell out! Go Trump.

You don’t have to drive a Lamborghini 180 mph to get your thrills. A sedate 80-85 on the freeway is fast enough.

This may sound strange, but I have always felt my best at around 7500 feet. Lower altitude bothers me, i.e., Palm Springs, CA. Somewhere around there it is below sea level.
Could be the smog...

Like a week of training can get you ready for climbing six miles into the sky.

Reminds me of the base jumpers willing to be arrested to prove that jumping in some park was safe (it was illegal). One woman (Jan Davis?), knowing she would be arrested and have the chutes impounded, borrowed a cheaper one and jumped with it. The little chute you pull out (to drag out the main one) was located in a different spot on the replacement, and she fell to her death (and was recorded on film doing so, in front of her husband).
Instant Darwin Award...

The capsaicin (hot peppers) in the local diet is important for climbing.
It improves the blood flow and stabilizes your heart rate.
The meat is also important for supplying the iron to create a good supply of red blood cells.
