[@nanettevantriesteharder2469]

@@mason4354 According to Urban Dictionary, privilege is the belief that members of particular groups, sexualities, genders, sexes, races, etc. are afforded advantages in society for being a member of said group. The term was popularized by the regressive left and is generally used as an easy button to shut down discussions/arguments and blame others for one's own shortcomings. Achievements earned by others through hard work are dismissed as just further evidence of their privilege. By accepting this philosophy, believers in this religion create a world where all their failures are the fault of someone else, and all the successes of others are because they possessed some inherit unfair advantage. Bill: I can't get a decent job, I'm fat because of poor genetics, and I'm poor because of institutionalized racism. I wish I had your privilege John. John: So your decision to screw off in school, constantly eat junk food, knock up your ex who you now have to pay child support to has nothing to do with your current situation? Bill: John you seriously need to check your privilege. The regressive left is a term coined by anti-extremist activist Maajid Nawaz, to describe far left zealots who defend and support extremist ideologies, cultural and religious relativity and pander to absurd sensitivities. You'll often find these SJW type plonkers screaming racist or bigot at anybody who dares challenge their one size fits all view of the world.

As a lifelong mountaineer this story is bizarre: -The amount of money involved was enormous. -Neither woman was what would be considered a "serious" mountaineer. They were mountain tourists. -The amount of discomfort, pain, and fatigue they endured to reach the summits of these peaks, all for instagram fame, was enormous, and baffling. As for summit races, they go back to the beginning of alpinism: Edward Whymper was involved in a very similar race to the summit of the Matterhorn in 1864. He beat the group from the Italian side by mere hours. Part of his group perished on the descent.

They cannot risk losing their position as guide because that could be the difference between poverty and not poverty for their family

I stopped climbing in 2010..after first encountering unsuitably attired and equipped clueless lycra clad muppets..filming themselves sprawling on the rocks in their hoiked up skin tight leggings.. The point of climbing for me was to challenge yourself against the geology and weather..to take your chances expose yourself to risk ..and roll the dice of fate ..but still using good judgement, experience, carefully selected equipment , skills and physical fitness to reduce the chance of lethality or serious injury.. Meeting a few fellow adventurers and odd balls on the rocks was always part of the fun..but the advent of Facebook and the other social media platforms quickly turned a quasi religious journey of adventurous endurance and self discovery into an egotistical....look at me .. lycra leggings clown show...I visit ancient monuments and walk old Roman Roads and medieval paths now... i encounter more cows and considerably more mud and less rock....but virtually no annoying spuzzoids filming themselves..which makes the day much more worthwhile..

If your lunking a big pack up the hills then you want something a bit looser ..otherwise you get sweaty and sore...lots of layers in cold conditions..lycra isn't ideal its too tight , gets ripped and doesn't let your skin breathe..maybe if you bivvy up for the night in the cold it's a useful layer inside your bag..but it's not great at scuffing over hard stone surfaces..much better to wear it for dancing in the nightclub or posing in the gym..

[@RightsForZombies]

Of course it’s the Sherpas and other guides who pay when people get summit fever. I’ve been hearing this story since it actually happened. Gina at least seemed to love mountaineering and then got swept up in the glory and ego of the title when she met Anna. The sad thing is her experience should have informed her of the danger and she ignored it in pursuit of summit and title fever. Anna seemed to only really be into mountaineering for the title and instagram and clearly had a lot of stamina, but it was reckless to even begin the final climb if she needed oxygen at that elevation regardless of the weather. She didn’t have Gina’s experience and wouldn’t have understood the risks as well. I don’t feel much sympathy for either woman. If only Gina had turned back after that first avalanche it would have saved two lives and not injured the other guide. If Anna hadn’t decided to stomp out so many mountains in as short a time a possible with so little training under her belt there likewise wouldn’t have been the senseless competition. Reminds me of the woman who was determined to claim/invent the title of ‘first Asian woman with a pacemaker’ to climb Mount Everest. She couldn’t even get past camp one because she wasn’t even fit, let alone having any mountain climbing experience, but she refused to leave Everest and died in pursuit of a meaningless title.

[@evelynwaugh4053]

You don't even need experience to comprehend the dangers. Just reading Krakauer's Into Thin Air or any similar nonfiction would give you a healthy respect for extreme environments.

[@RightsForZombies]

@@evelynwaugh4053 Yeah, I agree, I’ve read it and I’ve been interested in mountaineering for years. My point is that many novices don’t fully appreciate the dangers until they’ve been on the mountains have seen people get hurt and die around them, or had close calls themselves. They know it’s dangerous on an intellectual level but the danger doesn’t seem real to them. They get summit fever and that combined with inexperience makes them not properly respect the mountains. It’s especially easy these days to underestimate the 8000ers because Mount Everest is so frequently summited by novices and it gives the false impression to people that if Everest is relatively ‘safe’, being the highest 8000m peak, the others will be less challenging. They don’t necessarily realise the lower peaks are often more technical, or far more unstable. K2, for instance, unlike Everest, has no places that are relatively safe from avalanche flows (not to mention the Bottleneck and the massive trek to get to base camp).

Here we have Gina, who had climbed since 2008, she was in every way old school and dreamed about a book deal. Along comes Anna, a very strong climber with only a few years experience, a cameraman following her and a new, totally different climbing philosophy. There is probably no mystery whatsoever to how they financed the climbing, but the true mystery is how on earth did the stars align so that both of these women were on the exact same mountain, at the exact same time to summit their last peaks. This is a summit fever and a duel for the books, and I believe that "the books" is exactly the reason why these women did not want to climb together - Gina's book dream and Anna's documentary. Lack of oxygen did not help making right desicions and the fact that some of the best and most influential sherpa's were on the mountain with them, probably providind a false sense of security.

All these foreigners do have like 5 or 6 passports. Don’t think they understand the concept of citizenship

do they have 5 or 6 passports or are they "like" 5 or 6 passports?

What about the two Sherpa’s?

[@jeremiahsantini5740]

If they were male; they don't matter (according to society).

[@jessicaclasson7477]

Apparently of the four Sherpas on the teams one Sherpa on Anna’s team was killed and the other was badly injured. The same happened on Gina’s team. The lead Sherpa died and one badly injured.

[@david-dj8or]

The women were after the title. The sherpas made their own choice to go after the money.

[@johnrambo1349]

​@michaelperez9966 it's like a movie. You only care about the main characters dying. You don't care or know about the background people dying. They aren't important to the story.

Just for perspective I remember the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. The news that Edmund Hillary climbed Everest arrived in London on the same day although Hillary's success had been several days before. News traveled more slowly at the time. However, the coronation got moved to page 2 of the London Times which did not please the Queen. Even Hilary Clinton claimed to have been named after Edmund Hillary in spite of his name having a double L compared to her single L. Maybe her parents named their daughter without checking the spelling.

That last joke cracked me up. Have you ever visited the 2nd largest ball of twine in NA east of the Mississippi?

[@sarahfrith1984]

Surely Gina would be first American woman, Anna first Moldovan woman - win win no? It’s very sad what money and potential fame does to people.

[@icegiant1000]

I think the whole sport of mountain climbing is terrible and should be blocked. How many stories do we have of idiots trying to climb some mountain, getting stuck and then expecting this huge rescue network of people to risk their lives to save them. There is no point in climbing a mountain, its not so you can eat, or save someone, its pure ego. I wonder what Gina's face, buried and frozen in the snow, looks like right now. Wonder if you could show her that picture before she tried climbing, and if she would have thought differently. She's up there right now, frozen, and dead. I am sure she would rather be back in NY enjoying a nice summer day, instead of a lost and sad frozen corpse, on some mountain people have never heard of.

[@babblingalong7689]

Some women are beautiful and at the same time smart enough to know that this means they never have to work. Plenty of sugar daddies available to afford their chosen lifestyle, which could've been any way of living. Unfortunately they chose stupidly.

[@pinkyteel525]

sugar daddy funded the delusional Moldovan unemployed pastry chef.
