    Sometimes there are rich guys who go completely unprepared and they force their guides still take them on to summit even if it risks their lives.

    A lot of guides die because of rich assholes and then some more guides die getting the body of the same rich asshole off the mountain.

    If the guide doesn’t do it then they’ll get a bad reputation and more rich assholes won’t hire him so he starves.

      You realize it’s not like only the 1% are climbing Everest? Yes it’s expensive but if it’s a life goal it’s certainly achievable for anyone middle class

          So anyone not making minimum wage is fair game for poisoning? Yeah that’s definitely not insane at all

      I’d be curious where you draw the line. Is it based on income, net worth, or just participation in expensive activities? What sort of trips and activities justify poisoning, and which ones would you let pass?

    Well that’s a new thing. Did anyone have Insurance Fraud Sherpa on their bingo card? What genre of music is that band name?
