That was an awesome read. I'll take a chopper to the top, and snowboard down, thanks.
I see nothing but a background photo. Can't even highlight anything. What's going on here ?
I was joking.lol
no chopper can fly that high.
most choppers are good for 8000 feet.
dual rotor army style huge transaports can go to 18k.
still, you're no where near 27k at the summit. That's why base camp is where it is... that's as high as they can get you. The air is simply to thin to float the chopper any higher.
worst analogy ever..hmm...
cold hearted? no.
put it like this. on your street theres a huge semi, full load, the brakes are locked up, its stuck. not moving.
they tell you to get into your little single cam stock motored honda, hook to a chain, and pull the semi 20 miles in the condition that its in.
what do you think is going to happen? your honda is going to die. you'll either burn your tires off, burn the clutch out, or blow the motor, maybe even junk the trans. either way, your honda would make it.
no point in trying to save them, because that would mean that instead of just him dying, you both die. its lose-lose.
