Adrian Ballinger Everest 2021 Cancellation Interview

[@Bella.216]

Exactly, people who honestly haven't been on the Khumbu ice fall don't realize how honestly dangerous it is. What most inexperienced climbers also don't know is if you aren't at the best shape of your life then it could take over 12 for some people. Experienced climber can make it in a few hours. The longer you are on it the more risk. That icefall moves daily, what a fantastic company you're running Adrian!!!!!

Hey Alan, I have a little question. What kind of sunglasses did you wear in your K2 expedition? It was a white pair in the video. Thanks for an answer!

That guy is really ignorant about chinas covid policies. He said they were planning to have 3 day quarantine in Chengdu. When everyone knows that China has a minimum of 14 days quarantine upon arrival if you even get a visa.

[@AlanArnetteClimbs]

I think he was very well connected at the time when he made the decision to cancel. Might have changed. Assume good intentions.

@@AlanArnetteClimbs It's been mandatory 14 days quarantine for over a year now. Even some chinese couldn't go back.
