I wouldn't use it, unless there was a scientific reason to go to the summit. But I would have the right to. Same as how the only people with a right to cheat in a computer game are those who can hack it themselves.

Yeah and the guys who developed all the climbing gear and oxygen tanks are losers too. Apparently the summit can be made in 8 hours. It can be made by 76 year olds. It can be made by 15 year olds.

I'm guessing sarcasm, but if not, I think they lose 100% less than everyone who climbs Everest for the bragging rights, partly because developing oxygen tanks is less deadly but mostly because it actually contributes something to humanity.

The person I think of when it comes to climbing Everest is Brian Blessed. He's never made it to the top but tried three times and only failed to make it to the top as he went back to help someone.

Oh and... GORDON'S ALIVE!!!

I don't really see the draw either. I think mountains are beautiful and hiking through them at a relatively low elevation of 7,000 feet is plenty exhilarating. Anything else seems like vanity.

When it comes to risking my life for stupid shit that no one will ever give a damn about - I'm out, and I'm sure as hell not going to go fetch somebody's body for some attempt at vain glory. Clearly the relatives and friends of 200+ people feel the same way as I do.

I've gotten laid off of a mountain climbing achievement. So I'm going to call bull on it not being useful, right off the bat Tongue

If I value the accomplishment: it is useful to my self image, if nothing else.

All using such a crutch to top a mountain does in the eyes of others is make you out to be a major pansy. Now were you going to climb that mountain, or cower in your comfort zone, little man? Heart

Also: eat a raw fish eye.

All of these are, of course crutches. But none of them are as bad as letting a machine take you up there with you doing minimal work Smile

Sure, it can be. And as you can see from the corpses: it also can't be. Depends on who's doing it.

What the hell does getting laid have to do with mountain climbing???

Hate to break this to some of you, but getting laid isn't all that difficult. It's not exactly hard to convince someone to do the most natural activity known to all life on earth. And if you have a problem getting laid - risking your life on some pointless adventure is not going to solve your problem.

I hardly mean to say that it was the sole think... but it helps Smile

Ever tried being trans in a high school where most everyone doesn't want to be seen with you, and more than that can't accept your being a woman? I've been denied on grounds of shock more than I've had sex with those who I convinced to do it Tongue And I'm a conniving little thing. Heart

I think it's cute that you think you're "convincing" people. Maybe they're just into what you have to offer Sae.
