Can we just leave that mountain alone?

"But I'm rich, dammit, and want to showy friends how much cooler I am than them! I've been training for w weeks now, dammit, just let me get up there! I've hired three Sherpas to carry my stuff's so I'm helping their little economy. They should be THANKING ME. Wait until my husband hears about this!"

Yeah. I shed no tears when rich assholes get killed.

There's a show called "Why planes crash" and after seeing the helicopter episode I don't think I would ever get in one, especially not close to a mountain.

Sometimes you have to, but yeah they're incredibly dangerous.

Flying a helicopter is supposedly one of the hardest things you can do.
