This is the AI era - we could end this if we all did an AI-generated Everest selfie of ourselves. No one would care, then.

Very unfortunate, but I would think a blizzard hits Everest multiple times in a year if not in a month? Seems like it’s not that odd of an occurrence but that’s me
I'm not mountain climber, but October seems extremely late in the season to be on Everest. Isn't the climbing season in or around May?

Normal climbing season is April/May usually summit days are late May.
There is actually a fall climbing window but that is notmally only professionals and high level amateurs (no typical guided climbs) so you rarely see tourists. As mentioned this is base camp trekkers. There is not nearly the scrutiny on weather for trekking as there is for summit attempts.

there’s just no way.
They would have to pay me to climb up to the top of Everest and camp out like that. Call me a pussy, but I hate the cold and am not crazy about heights.

I'm sure there was a thread on it already but I thought it was going to be an offshoot of this that happened in China. Dude tries to take selfie, falls off mountain, dies.

For some reason I thought that climbing season on Everest was in the spring. Like April and May.
Edit. Just read the comments. No actual summiting going on.
