    Oh, that includes all of the equipment, flights, and transportation?

    For one person, right? Comparing it to a family vacation proves my point. A douchebag insisting on going to a big mountain seems a little different than a family vacation…

    I will never mind speaking in absolutes about this. If you care about going to Everest, you are a selfish asshole. Full stop. I don’t care that it’s affordable for you, that’s part of the problem.

    I don’t care if the locals rely on the abuse, it’s still abuse.

      Now take this exact line of reasoning to you owning a phone or having any hobbies and actually try to find a material difference.

      Dude you have very weird and specific perspectives. To each their own doesn’t ring a bell? Is it an Everest specific issue or do you sell wholesale for other destinations as well?

      Take that hait energy and make something positive out of it instead…

        It’s actually ok to not like harmful things! It’s called having integrity.

        Your arrogance is astounding.

          My arrogance ? Sure is… I’m the one judging everyone….

          where do you draw the line of harmful things? We are by nature harmful things to a degree with all our activities…

            This is not a valuable conversation, because I’ve already told you where I draw the line: somewhere BEFORE “I want to climb Everest.”

            The fact that you can’t tell the difference between people traveling all the way to Everest and “everyone” makes me think you’re a bot or a troll.

            Again, being judgmental is valuable, this conversation is not.

            Billionaires shouldn’t exist, people shouldn’t go to Everest because they are insecure.

            Not hard to understand. “But—” nothing.

            Ok, you’re not even reading. Pathetic. I’ll block you now, bye!
