Watch as a Drone Summits Mount Everest in Stunning Fashion – Moss and Fog
4minutes and 12seconds worth of good time spent. I'm not into the swarms of mountaineers that litter every year but was always curious about the visuals of Everest I should mention mossandfog.com is a pretty neat site overall. |

Amazing visuals all right, mar dhea. I don't have to climb it now to see all that heh
Yes, and all the dead bodies of climbers who died in Everest 'dead zone' piling up, where it's very hard to reach them. But I heard they finally did a bodies retrieval operation recently which was successful. The allure of the mountains can be fatal. __________________ "A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it."- Dōgen

Thanks for that. I have exactly zero desire to outfit myself tin the bulky clothing and expose myself to the cold arid air of the mountains. I imagine what it must be like to need to pee in those conditions and nope, no thank you

It's an awesome thing that mountain...not to be morbid but I found that so far in 2024 nine have perished. Another stat said that 3 of those nine are 'missing' and the deaths unconfirmed. It's pretty mad. I'd like to try Kilimanjaro in Africa...that one is just a giant uphill walk. Nothing too crazy...just walk up. Lots of sweating and work but it's quite doable for many.

Wow, nine already. They couldn't stand to see the nice corpse free mountainside could they. Wow Kilimanjaro would be just mind-blowing too, mar dhea, please do it. Just reading your description sent visions of animals and scenery and vastness, everything into my mind. It even snows on the mountain too, if I recall correctly. Just fabulous.💚 __________________ "A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it."- Dōgen

You know what mountain I'd like to hike/climb up @mar dhea? Mt Chimborazo in Ecuador, an volcanic mountain. Have you heard of it? Because not only would it be just an awesome experience, but it's highest point on planet. Everest summit is the highest point above sea level but Chimborazo summit is farthest distance from the centre of the earth. Highest point on planet. So it's special.
