>Have friend>Retired military (Navy)>Came into a bit of money, with the business he and I run>Travels the world in our off season (we are military contractors).>Flys to Nepal with his thot Australian GF>Decides he wants to climb Mt. Everest (lol)>Actually find this sketchy as fuck outfitter that agreed to take him on a expedition that has multiple fatalities on record>Ligit is spending like $40k and more on this whole expedition>Has no experience Mountain Climbing aside from Mt. Fuji and other mountains in Japan (really are just hikes)>Has no glacial or Alpine traversing experience/training>/fit/ in a base way he hasn't trained or acclimatized to this.>Basically giving me the whole yolo line>Literally already at base camp.How do I convince my friend he's going to die and this a beyond a pants on head retarded idea. How the fuck do these outfitters not vet people on something like this? He's on a high because he divorced his psycho whore of a wife that put his dog down to spite him and he's made just over a million dollars working in the defense industry and shrewd investment with me.There has to be other easier mountains in Nepal that aren't as expensive or dangerous.
>>2855411I call bullshit.There are permits and waiting lists.The amount of people on the mountain is highly controlled by government regulations. You cant just walk up to some kiosk and buy a ticket.
>>2855411People do this with Everest all the time. A little different, but when I did the circuit there were little children, accountants, and schoolteachers doing it.
>>2855411Make sure you're in his will.
>>2855411>made just over a million dollars working in the defense industry and shrewd investment with me.the whole story sounds fake and gay due to reasons other anons already mentioned, but this one takes the cake for being the fakest and gayest. kys OP
>>2855411>his psycho whore of a wife that put his dog down to spite him
>>2855411I look forward to adding the image of his corpse to my collection.
>>2855411>How do I convince my friend he's going to die and this a beyond a pants on head retarded idea.You don't. He's an adult and the dangers of Everest are well known. Say "green boots" to a random person and there's a good chance they'll understand what that means. He might be in an odd psychological state due to his recent life events, but you explaining to him things he already knows won't change any of that.
>>2855415this>>2855411Also guides will straight up deny you past camp 3 or 4 if they think you're going to risk their lives to get you to the top
>>2856537One of my fat, old, balding, middle school teachers climbed Everest. It isn't hard to be guided to the top.
>>2855411Everest is basically easy mode these days unless there is a crazy weather event he'll be fine
>>2855411bullshit, also going up on everest is like going to costco at this point, theres literally a queue line going to summit
>>2856607Isn't the long queues one of the dangers if you get stuck because you have limited time in the death zone?
>>2856547Being old and balding don't mean you can't hike retard.Also being fat is hardly an issue unless you're obese. You can still have good endurance despite being fat.Do you people even go outside?
>>2856689>Do you people even go outside?Why would we be here if we went outside?
>>2856689American education moment
>>2856751Touch grass retard
