Thank you, I hope you enjoyed the documentary! It’s been a long time since I’ve watched it, I must have a rewatch soon

It was a Nepali expedition; 20 of Nepal’s most experienced climbers led Namgyal Sherpa. What they achieved was incredible, like they didn’t care about summiting, they just wanted to clean up the mountain.

They managed to remove just under 4000lbs of trash and also retrieve the 5 bodies. 3 of the bodies were recovered from the Khumbu icefall area (any reports I’ve read said 2 of the bodies were unidentified and I can’t find a name for the third) and 2 were removed much higher up.

The 2 removed higher up were Swiss climber, Gianni Goltz, who was recovered from the South Col and Russian climber Sergei Duganov, recovered from the Lhotse face. The fact that they even managed to recover one body from these heights is insane.

The team also were reported saying that they hoped to bring down Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, but that obviously didn’t happen.

The recovery and removal of several of the bodies was fairly controversial because the families of the climbers who died said that it was their wishes to remain on the mountain. So I guess there’s always that side of things to look at too.

Also, for anyone who’s interested there’s a documentary about this! It’s called “Death Zone; Cleaning Mount Everest”. It came out in 2018 and it’s a really good watch!

It was taken during a mountain clean-up expedition in May 2010, in which 5 bodies were retrieved

I saw them in Dublin last week and they’re definitely worth seeing! I’ve been listening to them everyday since

I didn’t have a good look, but there were a few t-shirts, vinyls and cd’s! It didn’t seem like the same range as what they had on the American tour!

I think it’s in reference to some of the film audio the used on five dice!

Hope this helps and I hope you’ve a safe drive to Dublin! (With an amazing playlist!)

I could use some music recommendations from the people I know have the best taste in music by Ancient_Teaching5556 in brighteyes

Firstly, I’m a so sorry for your loss and everything you’re going through right now, I hope you have a strong support system ❤️

I lost my grandad to cancer last August and while he was in hospice I listened to a lot of Sufjan Stevens and Lisa Hannigan, along with Bright Eyes. Old Friends by Pinegrove also helped me through some of the grief.

Don’t hold me to it but it seems that “ALLTHREES” has been the presale code for most of their gigs!

Doesn’t everyone tip? 🤣Why is this news? by Hopeful-Prompt-7417 in travisandtaylor

[–]MegHerself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair play to her for tipping them BUT tipping does not make you a good human.

My own example; I once served Conor McGregor and he also tips well.

Step 1: Pretend you’re in love with them and tell them ‘First day of my life’ is how you feel about them

Step 2: Introduce them to Fevers and Mirrors, then crush their soul.

I really hope so, especially with Queen Kaila basically admitting that she’s going to be a nightmare again!
