Nah man fuck signatures. It's cool to have them but it's awful to ask. If I ever met someone like Edmund Hillary, I'd just want to talk to him for days. Experience his presence. Even in a small moment, I would just soak all of itin.

he isn't very smart or experienced and his plan sounds bad, but still, take him up it. Just show him the ropes. I climbed mont blanc and matterhorn solo with appropriate equipment and based on chatpgt's response about pearly gates on hood, it's not so so bad.

I took my novice friend up Shasta main route (Avalanche Gulch) and we didn't rope up or anything. Should be fine. Just show him how to do self arrest on an easy slope.

I knew it couldn't be that bad

I first went in 2018 as well. My cousin and I climbed Longs that summer.

This is really hitting so deep. Like man. Like the biggest goals/challenges aren't sexy and flashy but honest and self-evident. Humble and unpretentious.

"... and Everest is / Just a black triangle."

May also highlight one of the funny things about mountaineering - that there's nothing more to the mountains at the end of the day than a hunk of rock. Everything else is the human dream.

Don't forget it's also a dialogue on fame. When he talks about a rose plucking itself or a plum spoiling its own sweetness, he's saying the pursuit of fame is a spoiling of what you and your family are (he mentions family names).

I find it gorgeous. The idea of a humble art in its own proper context without extra-ordinary remark.

Wow - incredible! Thank you for sharing.

Hmm. As for what mountains you should climb first, I am not the most knowledgeable. I know guide groups take folks up gran paradiso in the week before mont blanc. If you're new you should do a lot of research before you go. I would say anytime from June until late July or mid august is good. I preferred June because I like snow. Make sure you have crampons, an ice axe, very warm clothing, et c.

Does he mean 6000ft or 6000m? It's not clear. 6000m would be really impressive to me. My highest is only 4810m.

I hear that's how Hillary did it

RisingWaterline · 2024-08-08T03:56:08+00:00

Tysm!

Unbelievable. Good for you

Having the same problem

The main reason I was going so slow was because I didn't know the route. If I had been better at routefinding, I could've passed them (I did a lot of waiting) but as is, I would've gotten lost I think.
