Sigh. Thanks for not climbing. I wonder how many of these ppl, with their comparative wealth and privilege, do anything to help improve the living standards of local ppl.
On the Australian comedy news panel show Have You Been Paying Attention the comedian Sam Pang asked guest presenter climber Bianca Adler, who has just summited Everest, “What was your sherpa's name? How many times have they climbed Everest?"
“Pemba, & he’s climbed it about five times.”
“That’s a lot more than one.”
The whole interview can speak for itself, and starts at 20 minutes into the video.
I pray I'm never haunted by you, that sounds terrifying. Great post otherwise.

Ugh. Turns out it's so much worse than my instinctive gag-reflex at Youngest Aussie Summits With Dad TV grab.
is there anyone who climbed Everest and DIDN'T post it on their socials?
You gave me Into Thin Air (books should be given as baby gifts more often to first time mums) and I'm never not thinking about it, just a little
This does remind me of that movie THE BEACH, where tourists search for an "untouched paradise" ...and ruin it.
