British weather. Ever supporting the cliché
Hail, snow, sun, clouds and blue sky at the same time

Mount Everest is an interesting place. From the stories of the sherpas, those who made it, those who didn't, it is so interesting to me to hear why people want to get there.

Did you see Everest about 1996?

It is unfortunate that the current and future of the mountain consists of higher traffic and more trash. I am amazed at the fact that they don't remove people who died, and that it is a regular occurrence to encounter bodies. That's some fucked up shit.

Today I woke up to hail, sleet and snow, It wasn't nice at all, had some burnt pain au chocolat I made for a wake and bake then it cleared up! Went for a walk in a little village, some beautiful bluebells out now, garlic and bluebells, perfect for a walk with friends and doobs

He's a pillar of our history so anyone from over here SHOULD know...
Did you hear about this?

The bodies of Alex Lowe, considered the top mountain climber in the world during the 1990s, and his cameraman have been found in thawing glacier in Tibet 16 years after they were buried in an avalanche, Lowe's family and charitable foundation said.

Lowe, 40, and cameraman David Bridges, 29, were part of an expedition that set out to film a documentary series for NBC Sports when they were buried under cascades of snow on the 26,335-foot-tall Shishapangma mountain — the 14th-highest in the world — on Oct. 5, 1999.

Most of the bodies they dont even identify,they just kick them over the side so they dont block the routes up.Alot of them are found frozen to the climbing ropes so they have to clear them to pass.The area thats most littered with bodies is called rainbow valley,named for all the different brightly colored outerwear the bodies still have on.
I have a good buddy that summited everest on his first attempt a few years back,he said bodies are all over and they just leave them.He has a picture walking right by the one they call greenboots and asked the sherpa guide about him and the guide just told him,never sit down,never rest,never stop moving.
My buddy was really lucky to summit his first time,some people with him had tried many times unsuccessfully.The year before he went i hiked Mt Whitney with him using the mountaineer route and it damn near killed me,Whitney is tallest in lower 48 at 14,505' and Mt Everest is 29,209,i cant even imagine that,lol.
