He is still an idiot and hubris. It's only a matter of time before he ends up like Steck.

I hate to break it to you, but it's only a matter of time before we all end up dead.

Just look at all the human corpses on Everest.

How many died due to not having bottled oxygen?

Pretty hard to quantify how many of them made poor decisions that they otherwise wouldn't have made with more oxygen flowing to their brain. They don't talk much anymore.

Some people lead long lives. Other chose to kill themselves doing what they "love."

Everest is more than 8484 meters.

And others play it safe, avoid taking any risks ... and inevitably end up just as dead as Steck. Sometimes at an even younger age.

Ahem, he confirmed he reached the summit. No pics of proof as of yet.

BTW: In a prior post was a picture of a dead climber who reached the summit and made it just 100m down before dying.

The odds are against you. Keep justifying to yourself that your dangerous activities won't make any difference whether you die or not. You next challenge should be climb Everest naked with no food or water along the entire way. That will be a record others like you can admire and can try to break.

Coming down is the hard part.

How about some stats to quantify how many who died did not have bottled oxygen with them versus those who did. If you actually cared about stats and facts instead of your uninformed opinion.

I guess it's a lot about making a name for oneself? Like with money with many people , once you have a name, I guess it's never enough.

I don't think he's anywhere near Hillary step route but seems like clock is ticking.

Yes. He was going from the Tibet side. That side has fewer climbers and I'm not sure but I think also no fixed ropes.

It would be strange if he didn't have a GPS track because in the past he had tracks. On Mont Blanc and Denali. You can look these up and they are impressive. He is sponsored by Suunto. He could have at least brought a GoPro.

And I don't think he would dope. At least I think taking something like EPO would make the blood thicker an be that would be dangerous. But I think more dangerous would be that it would mess up your ability to really gauge your body and how it's reacting to altitude. I think that he does use an attitude rent though.

I'm calling BS on Hornet actually summitting Everest. His latest summary of the entire climb still claims a vague "midnight" time when he reached the top. What? No specific time? How do you claim a record and not provide the minutes and seconds? And where are any photos and GPS data of him even being at the top? I'm officially calling this an investigation into Jornet and that his claim of reaching the summit is fake.

I do care about stats but don't have the time to look up what you requested.

I shared no opinions other than that it is hard to interview dead people so you can't isolate "how many died due to not having bottled oxygen". That is not uninformed - it is scientifically supported.

You need to go for a run.

Try biking 8000 miles to Everest, solo climb without oxygen and then bike back.

Why would you bring up interviewing them? They either did or did not have bottled oxygen with them. Your claims are not well thought out.

Amazing that some people think that the risks other people take are any of their business.

No, your beliefs are not thought out at all. An ostrich with its head in the sand; hear no evil, sees no evil, speaks no evil.
