My main take away was there’s no fucking way I’m climbing Everest. It’s just pure misery and you’re so fucked when you get to the top you can’t wait to go back down. |

|
Date: April 19th, 2026 9:48 PM Author: greedy carmine mediation brethren some theories say that his presence, and the presence of Pittman which was a reaction the Krakauer's last minute team change, was the cause of the event.

|
Date: April 19th, 2026 10:05 PM Author: greedy carmine mediation brethren The theory is the presence of the journalist from Outside magazine (Krakauer) caused more than the usual competition between Adventure Consultants (Rob's team) and Mountain Madness (Scott's team). Krakuer's magazine was paying Rob with ad space ($55k worth; they only paid $10k in cash), and those ads would include things like the % of clients that summitted. Krakuer was also writing about the commercialization of Everest in general, so there was motivation to get as many climbers to the top as possible. But whether that influenced the late summit push (after the fixed rope delay of 2+ hours), the decision to ignore the pre-arranged turn-around time, and Rob's decision to escort Doug, isn't certain.
Maybe more directly, Pittman -- the weakest climber who the lead sherpa had to essentially drag to the top with a rope, causing him not to place the aforementioned fixed ropes and delaying both teams -- was added to Mountain Madness's team at the last minute as their journalist after Krakauer and Outside left the MM team for the AC team.
So taken together the presence of journalists, especially JK, can reasonably be seen to have changed the motivations and dynamics of the teams, and may have been a contributing cause to the tragedy, rather than a coincidence. |
|
Date: April 19th, 2026 10:15 PM Author: flushed address goyim IIRC, almost every third-party account (not krakauer or boukreev, although you could include boukreev in this) says that krakauer was bizarrely hard on sandy pittman, who no one else seems to think played any kind of noteworthily deleterious role. She was short-roped for an hour tops, and she was a paying client; she's probably a stronger climber than krakauer, but krakauer benefitted from summitting way before her. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5858541&forum_id=2...#49828352) |

Date: April 19th, 2026 10:20 PM Author: greedy carmine mediation brethren then you have to explain why Lopsang didn't set the fixed ropes above the south summit... (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5858541&forum_id=2...#49828364) |
|
Date: April 19th, 2026 9:45 PM Author: brilliant hairy legs parlor "Rowell criticized Krakauer's account, citing numerous inconsistencies in his narrative, and observed that Krakauer had been asleep in his tent while Boukreev was rescuing other climbers. Rowell argued that not only were Boukreev's actions heroic but his judgment was also prescient: “[Boukreev] foresaw problems with clients nearing camp, noted five other guides on the peak [Everest], and positioned himself to be rested and hydrated enough to respond to an emergency. His heroism was not a fluke."[5]"
lmfao at this literal kike sleeping in his tent while the heroic chad is out there saving lives, and then publishing a book where he jewishly sneers at and nitpicks the heroic dude
fucking amazing |

Date: April 19th, 2026 9:49 PM Author: greedy carmine mediation brethren Boukreev could and did literally climb mount everest without oxygen and it was his professional responsibility to guide and save people.

|
Date: April 19th, 2026 10:10 PM Author: greedy carmine mediation brethren Some people say that without supplemental O's, Boukreev had to descend in front of the clients at more rapid pace, rather than assist them in the descent. Had he been in the mix with the clients, he may have saved more lives. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5858541&forum_id=2...#49828346) |
|
Date: April 19th, 2026 10:15 PM Author: brilliant hairy legs parlor but it says he deliberately went down ahead of the clients, by himself, so he could get help
sounds like the "supplemental oxygen" complaint is just literal jews trying to unjustly pin blame on the only chad who was actually saving lives instead of jewishly sitting around "taking notes" so he could jewishly publish a book criticizing everyone else |
|
Date: April 19th, 2026 10:21 PM Author: greedy carmine mediation brethren yeah and the corroborating witness is dead. im not saying he didn't save people, but the idea that a guide is better off at camp than guiding clients is a bit retarded (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5858541&forum_id=2...#49828367) |

|
Date: April 19th, 2026 10:26 PM Author: flushed address goyim My (very rusty) recollection after reading both books is that krakauer is indeed a disingenuous little piece of shit, but his criticisms of boukreev are probably correct. Literally not a single person, dead or alive, doubted that he was the strongest climber on the mountain, but his abilities as a guide specifically were questionable. Boukreev says that Fischer's displeasure with his performance was customer-service/BizDev-based, but he's fucking dead so who's to know.

Date: April 19th, 2026 10:33 PM Author: greedy carmine mediation brethren yeah i think he was probably selfish and scott had to work around that fact so they came up with compromises that didn't really make sense for a guide but he wanted him up there (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5858541&forum_id=2...#49828389) |

Date: April 19th, 2026 10:22 PM Author: costumed beta death wish dilemma Nah he didn't go down for help, he went down before any of the issues began. He went back out to help later after hearing people were in trouble.
I don't think Bookreev did anything particularly wrong though. He was against using oxygen because he thought it was dangerous to rely on it. You're extra fucked if you run out of it etc |
|
Date: April 19th, 2026 10:35 PM Author: greedy carmine mediation brethren yeah and i mean that kinda makes sense, but also not really. if you have oxygen you are better off than without. you might run out of oxygen and you're fucked immediately, which is not the case without it, but you can definitely stay up longer with it.

Namba died from exhaustion and exposure. Jon Krakauer's book, Into Thin Air, describes the anguish of Neal Beidleman, who felt guilty that he was unable to do anything more to save Namba. Boukreev's book, The Climb, expressed profound regret at her lonely death, saying that she was just a little 90-pound woman and that someone should have dragged her back to camp so she could at least die among her companions. |

Anyway, even after doing a lot of other tall mountains, he had some kind of altitude sickness climbing Everest, turned blue, maybe had a collapsed lung, got airlifted down, and had to stay in a Nepalese hospital for a month. Was already lean and he lost maybe 25% of his bodyweight.

Date: April 21st, 2026 8:39 AM Author: fragrant market Everest is flame. You fly or drive over halfway to the top.
On the Tibet (North) side, you can drive via jeep to North Base Camp, which sits around 16,900 to 17,100 feet (5,200m) above sea level. On the Nepal (South) side, you typically fly into Lukla and trek for several days to Base Camp, which is at roughly 17,598 feet (5,364m). |

Date: April 21st, 2026 9:12 AM Author: greedy carmine mediation brethren Yes the Everest climb is not the longest climb you can do. Denali is a taller climb from base to peak. But everest is the tallest peak above sea level and the thinnest air.
Its also not the closest point on earth to space. Thats a peak in Ecuador, which is closer to space due to the bulge of the earth at the equator. |
