Pastemba Sherpa, a Mount Everest guide, breaks down every piece of gear Sherpa guides use to summit the world's tallest mountain. All of this equipment needs to be carried up and back, so guides can't afford any unnecessary weight. Oxygen tanks, down suits, and headlamps are essential for keeping him and the climbers safe.

This is lower down. There is no way especially not on oxygen majority of people could eat a snickers at 8000m. I never saw one up so high.

@fernandoPessoa8 2 месяца назад

I can only imagine it because the sense of taste decreases at high altitudes. Perhaps a Snickers is so intense that it still tastes good. Lots of sugar stimulates the receptors on the tongue. As @spicybrown75 pointed out with her answer

Including the equipment, personnel, food and permits, an expedition costs like $50,000 at minimum excluding the training before the attempt. Cherry on top is you could die and your body may not even be recovered because of the altitude. It is truly a rich person hobby.

@matchpoint14 Месяц назад

With all the advanced equipment it is crazy that they still use a utility ladder to walk across gaps in the ice. One day in the future people will look at videos and say looks how primitive climbing used to be they used ladders to walk on. They need something with a complete flat surface instead of rungs every 1 foot, it looks so easy to get pointed crampons stuck in.

@misterfunnybones 3 месяца назад

I summit fast & light barefoot in a Speedo. No acclimatization. No superfluous gear.

@veo16 3 месяца назад

Shocking how foreign climbers don’t do Everest in steps. But prefer to climb all at once, in one season. You should get used to the mountain with repeat climbs year after year before making an attempt on the summit.

@Chase3141 3 месяца назад

That's not how climbing works. You can acclimatize to the elevation, but that only lasts a few weeks after you go back to lower elevations. And the route up the mountain changes every year due to avalanches, crevasses, and different conditions so you can't "get used to" the mountain. Also you need a permit to climb above base camp, which costs $11,000 (goes up to $15,000 in 2025) and lasts 1 season so it would be a waste to get a permit and not attempt to summit. Often climbers do climb other shorter mountains to acclimatize before they climb any big mountain.

That’s a lot of heart they carry. Also FYI on why the oxygen tank looks so small, imagine carrying a full diving oxygen tank and walking for 1-2 minutes walking which for me weighs (feels) close to 10-15kg and I was 14 at the time, weight in climbing should be less since it can be very difficult to walk with a lot of gear.
