Both the traditional north and south routes have their pros and cons. Up until 2007, the trend was for more climbers to choose the north due to lower costs. But with the Chinese restricting permits over the past few years, the south side has retained the lead as the preferred route primarily due to commercial operators wanting to reduce uncertainty and to limit their risks.

There is a Bama fan from New Orleans who lurks and posts here around the game every year who summited. His climbing partner died 150 feet from the summit.

Are we supposed to be proud of them or something?

Not necessarily, it's just a really cool perspective that we've never seen before. It's actually awesome and I applaud these guys for keeping us involved

I'm sure many have seen it, but the Touching the Void documentary is absolutely mesmerizing.

It's one of those stories that you just can't stop thinking about. I would have given up about 25 different times. The book is supposed to be very good as well.
