You stay alive without drive 👍

So I sometimes sub/ work at my local school, and this past week I was helping out in a very tough 4th grade classroom. For science we put on a video about mysteries surrounding Mt. Everest, and not only did Green Boots come up, but the kids shared facts they knew about the mountain, and then proceeded to ask me if I knew any facts.

And I, who was rereading KOTLC before work that day, froze because all I could think of was the Everblaze finale. My brain is going “Ummm, it’s where Keefe Sencen’s trauma started?”

Anyways, I ended up going with “It’s in the Himalayas”, since the video hadn’t mentioned that.

Hi! I took a gander into Sam's IMDb to check his film portfolio to see what I have missed. It showed Everest as "In production"! Any insight on this film? Looks like this could be another great hit for him! Great cast involved. Looks like this movie has taken over 10 years to start production! Wow. I wonder why?

Btw...watched First Light...such a great movie! Proves how talented SamShine is even in his early acting years. He is a man that ages like a fine wine or a fine 20 year old scotch whiskey 😉😍

Hi there. As far as I know, the movie has been put on hold due to scheduling conflicts. I don't think it's happening. 👇

But it looks like Sam may be part of a Mt Everest documentary. 👇

And here he talks about doing the Everest marathon, which I guess is a 14 day trek to Everest Basecamp, altitude 17,000 feet 👇

Sam has always been interested in Mt Everest, so it looks like he's going to do a related project no matter what.

I share his Mt Everest interest, it's always been fascinating to me what propels people to want to climb a 29,000 ft mountain. I got really obsessed a few years ago and watched and read everything on it. Also, I'd follow climbers on IG and watch their trek to the summit. They can only climb during May due to the weather. Fascinating stuff.

I needed a break from social media. So much has happened in wrestling. Sting is retired. Hoping he takes a non- wrestling role in AEW. HOOK still showing he's a legit bad ass. Darby being real in the ring got to me. Please let him come back from Mt. Everest safe and okay. I hate Don Callis and think Will Ospreay needs take Kyle and get away from him,but Will has shown why he belongs in AEW already. Proud of him and his Mrs. for all she's been through. Swerve should have won. Wardlow winning to hand the title to Adam Cole is stupid. But, Wardlow is just another Killswitch. An I QUIT match in Toronto between Adam Copeland and Christian. Holy shit!!!

Swerve and his woman are good together. Don't care about most relationships, but knowing her history somewhat, he is good for her and her good for him. Same with Will Ospreay and Alice aka Alex Windsor.

"Where is my dream vacation? That's easy, I want to lay on a couch with you.. nowhere special except in your arms, which is a really special place. I don't need the ocean spraying foam on me, I don't need sand in my hair.. I don't need to climb Mt Everest. I just want to be with you, that's the perfect vacation to me and we don't have to spend any money at all.. just your time."

So true.. but in all honesty, anywhere is better when you are there - eUë

a trail to Mt Everest base camp

There are an estimated 200 bodies on Mt. Everest, Earth's tallest peak, and climbers often use them as markers to determine how close they are to the top.

These are three of the four most well-known bodies that currently are, or were at one time, on the mountain:

"Green Boots": the real identity of the body climbers refer to as "Green Boots" is presumed to be Tsewang Paljor, who perished in 1996. Not pictured here is the body of David Sharpe, who, when he stopped at Green Boots' cave to rest, slowly froze to death, even while approximately 40 other climbers passed by him dying and did nothing to help.

Hannelore Schmatz became the first German and the first woman to die on the mountain. She succeeded in reaching the summit, but ignored the warnings of her Sherpa on the way back down and camped overnight in the death zone. While she did survive the night, she finally succumbed to exhaustion, low oxygen, and frostbite on her way back to base camp, dying just 330 feet from safety. Her body is no longer visible on the mountain and has either been swept away by the high winds or buried under the snow.

George Mallory was the first person to attempt to climb Mt. Everest in 1924, using "primitive climbing equipment and heavy oxygen bottles." His upper torso, half of his legs, and his left arm were found in 1999. He was dressed in a tweed suit and a rope injury around his waist suggested he'd been climbing with someone else when they fell off a cliff.

BWAHAHAHAHAAAH!!!

Queen of villains 🖤❤️🖤❤️

The Khumbu Ice fall is one of the most dangerous sections on the way to Everest. Not sure if the danger is falling ice, slipping or "Trail Rage."

I'm pretty sure that most of the people non-locals in that Netflix docuseries about the earthquake on Mt. Everest have no idea what gigantic assclowns they are...especially that thieving bastard Yaar. Fucking hell...

It was fairly easy not to give a shit about any of the tourists and concentrate solely on the stories of the locals.

interview with Rhys starts at 25:05 or so.

Something about how on everest people will let others freeze to death because it means they will have to turn back from sumitting the mountain or slow them down and cost their own lives in the process. How the bodies can't be retrieved, how there's such a high mortality rate, that you're hiking into the death zone just for the glory and marching past so many people who lost their lives trying to get that same thing. How there are corpses remembered by monikers even though we know who they were. How they are reduced to nothing but the mountain that consumed them, preserved in their final moments almost as pristine as when they died. How walking past all of these corpses to climb to the top of the world just to touch the sky for a moment is a bragging right. How getting close to heaven blinds people with its light.
