Mount Everest deaths

[Scottyboi]

Too many wankers that cause the locals to risk their lives to save them.

My view has always been. We need fewer people on these mountains. They should not be for tourists.

Problem is that the local communities depend a lot on the people that do the climbing - I do however agree with your overall point

Some people are idiots. 2 separate occasions since Covid I've advised groups of tourists here that due to weather and conditions they shouldn't go anywhere fucking near Carantuohill and 2 times they've had to be rescued. After my straight up telling them I've been up that mountain more than 50 times and in conditions like that I wouldn't go fucking near it.

Sound advice. Problem with Everest is that the tourists are paying maybe £50k a pop to be taken to the top. There’s a lot of pressure on the guides to get them up there and people with the cash aren’t normally ones that like to be told they can’t do something

The lads who do the boats out to the Skelligs here are family friends, they're often booked out months in advance by people travelling halfway round the world to go out to the rocks (especially since star wars). If the weather isn't suitable, they offer a refund or the next available date, you could offer them a million and that boat still won't be leaving the harbour.
