... every corpse on Mount Everest was once a highly motivated person. Stay lazy my friends.

No problem.

Cannot see that affecting anything I intend to do.

Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off immediately.

I dont like heights...so I'm good.

No deader than if they were in some cemetery. Sooner perhaps.

Every person who has ever lived is now dead.

Except for those still around.

Hard work never killed anyone.




But, why take a chance?

I never understood the need to climb Everest. Doesn’t sound like “fun” and it’s not like you did it yourself when you’re paying 10’s of thousands of dollars to have Sherpas cart your O2 up and all the ladders and ropes are preset. Ultimately it’s a long stupid walk just to say you climbed (and polluted) Everest.

Those green peace liberals have no problem ruining an otherwise pristine environment because THEY want to. Every time I hear of climbers meeting their fate up there I can’t muster even the slightest sympathy. The deaths of the Sherpas bothers me because they really have little choice. Those Sherpas are bad ass, tough mofos.

I'd rather hike downhill.

I has a lonesome look about it.

And that is as close as I ever wish to be.

Unless it's loose gravel...
