Well, most of those who went there never thought of this kind of danger, they were thinking of the dangers of scaling the mountain. But sometimes nature’s menace comes to you.

I was talking about the Earth. It’s been a pretty brutal place on and off over 4 billion years.

Yeah, and when that happens, apparently, the last thing you think of is posting a clip of it on instagram. But if it were a gang rape or group beat-down, well that's another matter.

Fredinburg was also on Everest in April 2014, when an avalanche killed 16 Sherpa guides. After that disaster, Sherpas refused to aid any further expeditions on the mountain, forcing the cancellation of the year’s climbs. In an Instagram post, Fredinburg blamed the cancellation on “militant” Sherpas and used the hashtag #poorformguys.

Looks like the Sherpas had the realistic view on the dangers of Everest. More so than the Google genius.
