Everest Update–Fast F*cker: Most Everest expeditions work really, really hard to make climbing the world’s tallest mountain seem like an incredible ordeal, a near-impossible feat that requires a military style assault with teams of porters and sherpas, a series of ascending camps that breaks the mountain into stages, and weeks of acclimatization. And then along comes an unassuming 26 year old named Pemba Dorji Sherpa. Last Thursday evening he walked out of Base Camp and just started climbing. 8 hours and 10 minutes later, after passing all the climbers heroically scratching their way toward the summit, he was at the top, setting a new speed climbing record for Everest. Oh yeah, he also pulled it off just 4 days after summitting with an expedition, putting him on top twice within a week. So what does that say about all the slow-ass climbers making such a big deal out of Everest?



Super Sherpa: “I can’t believe all the crap the Westerners climb with…and then just leave lying around on the mountain.”
