OT The Number of Climber Deaths on Everest Continue to Rise Due to Overcrowding

He didn't climb it. He went to the base and shot the mountain, then stood over it's dying summit and yelled, "FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!"

Wouldn't his cold dead hands eventually fall off from the frostbite? Does that happen?

Oh, about 35 years ago, going again this coming Thanksgiving. Brother in law, Retired Airforce guy, lives there.
Can't remember all the stuff we saw on the sight seeing tour, but no recall of manituau. I do recall feeling what 7000' feels like after a few hours.
I am taking the train this time out of probably Oxnard, instead of flying in. That flight to Colorado springs from Denver is the only flight
I ever got sick on. Not really sick but close.

It was sort of funny too, wife on one side of me, a lady on the other, window side. The lady with window just has to have the window, wife just has to have the isle seat. So all 240 of me is stuffed in the middle. The lady with the window wants to chat, so we chat until I start getting green
then she want to get the fuck out of there. Wife laughs like hell! Man you sure ran her off, big meany! I was fine soon as we went wheels down, but I don't want to do it again. The up and down drafts are fierce there.

Do you get airsick and not seasick?

No, I can get seasick. I often do when in port a long time before heading to sea. But it is manageable. I sometime refer to it as purging the evil
out and then you are ok. I like to get to sea, being a as kind as I can to my system before I go, no wild food, no booze, get to sea lay down and sleep a bit. I usually wake up fine, no more trouble.

PS
On the other hand, a plane in a turbulent area can be a hell of a lot more violent that the MarAzul will under sail. So perhaps the answer might be closer to, yes.
