E-rock Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I knew you'd weigh in, Rooster, but you've got to believe that WE TRIED, but even Jaws couldn't get through that retread. It shoulda been one of your fat, tender girfriends.... Anyway, you didn't wind up in the garbage can - there were none! I think we had a drumstick throwing contest down the canyon, as I recall. They're probably still there. Next time: Braise. Quote

ivan Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Another rich white guy's account. i'm a charter member of the Hate Whitey club, but even so, it seems to me that the olde boye does actually bring his ill-gotten gains to the region and share it w/ the oppressed brown masses christ, given how much they charge for the permits, who the fuck else but rich folks are gonna climb there?

ivan Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 it seems to me that the olde boye does actually bring his ill-gotten gains to the region and share it w/ the oppressed brown masses Ungrateful little buggers! i hear garbage men actually get pretty good pay - i don't know if they still complain about the smell of filth though? but seriously, how many plumbers from detroit are climbing the big E? the nepalese have crafted a tourism industry that pretty much demands wealth to take it on, so can they really complain if that results in a bunch of pataguccihavior?

prole Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Good help should be seen and not heard. I'm paying good money goddammit!! Quote
ivan Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 as the OP suggests, ignorance of that basic tenet does threaten business for a land dependent on tourism the basic milk of human kindness and good humor goes a long way in all situations... Quote
glassgowkiss Posted May 2, 2013 Author Posted May 2, 2013 It's going to kill completely any chance of climbing there on your own: "As a final comment. A very influential character (sorry no names right now) has asked the Ministry of Tourism to have written on every permit that climbers are not allowed to climb before the fixing team. If this happens it means the only way you can climb Everest is by climbing in a nice big track and on fixed lines with tons of people. It also means that any teams who want to climb something (in alpine style) apart from the Normal Route will not be able to acclimatise in advance before their ascent. It is insane, but it shows the attitude towards this mountain." Quote
CWC01 Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I know an inside source that is suggesting there is possibly more mountains to climb. It hasn't been confirmed yet so it is only a rumor at this point. Quote
prole Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I know an inside source... Is he a rich, narcissistic Westerner? He should blog about his experience. Quote
dougd Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 EBC trek cost me about $2500 USD in '04. That's RT from my house in Spokane... Points for air fare of course. You don't have to be rich to enjoy Nepal. A bit of thought, and networking gets it done. Climbing Everest, using guides to lead you up with a nose ring, and a baby bottle (02's), is expensive, yes... Tough to tell on these deals, as happened @ camp 2, where the main fault lies with all the after action he said she said stuff but it appears to me that the Sherpas are getting pretty tired of Westerners having their way with the mountain, and perhaps in the process, not showing the proper respect for said mountain, and Sherpa culture... Having said that there is no excuse for the physical violence that occurred. Does send a message tho don't it? d Quote

ZimZam Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Today another Sherpa returns to the village of Phortse to be cremated. Wonder if WoolyStick/SimplMoron blogged about that. RIP Dawa Rita. Quote
