>An Australian academic has died and another Australian has been injured while descending from the summit of Mount Everest.

>Monash University lecturer Maria Strydom succumbed to altitude sickness and reportedly suffered a stroke and snow blindness while making her descent on Saturday.

>A vegan, Dr Strydom was motivated to tackle Everest by challenging the diet's stereotypes.

>"It seems that people have this warped idea of vegans being malnourished and weak," Dr Strydom said in March. "By climbing the seven summits we want to prove that vegans can do anything and more."

Why do retards still climb this dumb shit? Almost everyone who isn't a Sherpa comes back losing fingers/toes/limbs if not dying and left frozen in bumfuck Nepal.

But if you're an expert mountain climber, who is actually "qualified" to tackle Everest, Anapurna, K2, etc, and you lose 4 toes and 4 fingers, your entire life is wasted mastering a hobby you can no longer pursue.

[Anonymous No.7699628]

Everest is end game. That's what you tackle after you've done everything else. If they lose limbs in the process of achieving their goal mountain, or attempting their goal mountain, they don't give a shit.

Well adjusted people understand that not every goal will be reached. The pursuit of goals gives life meaning. Trying is the point.

>>7699628

climbers have ridiculously lame goals.

>uh i climbed this mountain that has been climbed by countless faggots before myself, with the aid of GPS, digital mapping, hi tech clothes and hi tech food

its a very safe pathway. lame and safe, even if risky, its a safe formula. its not like you strive to become the best painter, or best musician. you strive to become a guy walking a lot. LOL, way to go, climbcucks.

It's not?
Everest is the highest and most popular peak, nothing more. There are dozens much harder or barely touched by a human feet peaks but you're ignorant dumb fuck who would just write his almost smart sentences.

[Anonymous No.7699883]

>>7699782
Which ones?

[Anonymous No.7699908]

>>7699628
Everest is actually a relatively easy climb. You want a true challenge, go for K2.

>>7699883
Go here, sort by death rate.

So I have to ask, did she have any experience mountain climbing or did she think being vegan was enough to climb one of the most treacherous locations on Earth?

[Anonymous No.7700100]

>>7699563

Anybody that lives at sea level is going to have issues at altitude regardless of their diet. Her diet probably didn't help though, there's probably a reason why sherpas (the ones doing all the real work) aren't vegan.

Then it was just bad luck. Those are the risks. Not sure why everyone is bringing diet into it. Plenty of people have died climbing it.

>Everest is actually a relatively easy climb.
>says a burger whose highest peak was the sofa.

stfu kid, if you never climbed, you can't say shit about mountaineering. I've done 4000 and 5000 peaks, and the feeling of achievement you have because you put effort into your body doing that task is something a homo burger doesn't have the capacity to comprehend.
