>An Australian academic has died and another Australian has been injured while descending from the summit of Mount Everest.
>Monash University lecturer Maria Strydom succumbed to altitude sickness and reportedly suffered a stroke and snow blindness while making her descent on Saturday.
>A vegan, Dr Strydom was motivated to tackle Everest by challenging the diet's stereotypes.
>"It seems that people have this warped idea of vegans being malnourished and weak," Dr Strydom said in March. "By climbing the seven summits we want to prove that vegans can do anything and more."
Im not a vegan, but that doesn't count. She's a woman. Not fair

>things white people do
Why do retards still climb this dumb shit? Almost everyone who isn't a Sherpa comes back losing fingers/toes/limbs if not dying and left frozen in bumfuck Nepal.
Thomas Harris
>dat cut of meat
Justin Hughes
Because some people aren't pussies. Many people want to go out and take risks in beautiful surroundings.
Thomas Anderson
More carnists die on Mount Everest in a single year than vegans ever have.
Nolan Richardson
But if you're an expert mountain climber, who is actually "qualified" to tackle Everest, Anapurna, K2, etc, and you lose 4 toes and 4 fingers, your entire life is wasted mastering a hobby you can no longer pursue.
Jeremiah Sanders
Everest is end game. That's what you tackle after you've done everything else. If they lose limbs in the process of achieving their goal mountain, or attempting their goal mountain, they don't give a shit.
Well adjusted people understand that not every goal will be reached. The pursuit of goals gives life meaning. Trying is the point.
Ethan Walker
climbers have ridiculously lame goals.
>uh i climbed this mountain that has been climbed by countless faggots before myself, with the aid of GPS, digital mapping, hi tech clothes and hi tech food
its a very safe pathway. lame and safe, even if risky, its a safe formula. its not like you strive to become the best painter, or best musician. you strive to become a guy walking a lot. LOL, way to go, climbcucks.

Levi Morgan
It's not? Everest is the highest and most popular peak, nothing more. There are dozens much harder or barely touched by a human feet peaks but you're ignorant dumb fuck who would just write his almost smart sentences.
Gabriel Morgan
Which ones?
Nicholas Butler
Everest is actually a relatively easy climb. You want a true challenge, go for K2.
So I have to ask, did she have any experience mountain climbing or did she think being vegan was enough to climb one of the most treacherous locations on Earth?
Nolan Williams
Anybody that lives at sea level is going to have issues at altitude regardless of their diet. Her diet probably didn't help though, there's probably a reason why sherpas (the ones doing all the real work) aren't vegan.
Joseph Harris
Damn, son. Poland owning that shit.
Jaxon Cox
I believe this is the first time a vegan has ever attempted Mt. Everest. She failed miserably.
Robert Campbell
are you a girl or something?
gorging on a shit ton of meat will kill you too. the only victors here are omnivores, not people with a meat addiction.
Elijah Wilson
>By climbing the seven summits I assume that they had climbing experience, especially since she died on the way down. not up
Nolan Fisher
The world is less one terrible person now. We should celebrate.
Then it was just bad luck. Those are the risks. Not sure why everyone is bringing diet into it. Plenty of people have died climbing it.
Cooper Price
Because she brought diet into it, you mouthbreathing troglodyte.
>'i wanna prove vegans can be every bit as fit and well-adjusted as normal, rational human beings!!! and have plenty of energy!!!' >'lol, i dead now'

>Everest is actually a relatively easy climb. >says a burger whose highest peak was the sofa.
stfu kid, if you never climbed, you can't say shit about mountaineering. I've done 4000 and 5000 peaks, and the feeling of achievement you have because you put effort into your body doing that task is something a homo burger doesn't have the capacity to comprehend.
