I had to come down off the ladder once upon a time, no place to be when a storm lands put of nowhere.

First two fatalities of the Everest climbing season today.

There’s an Irish lad blogging his attempt via Instagram @auldstock was posting every day up until last weekend when it went silent, he posted a pretty cryptic message today then.

Cryptic as in from beyond the grave?

“Twist in the tail” I’m guessing its pig related so

That’s former Connacht and Leinster 2nd row Damien Browne. He has done some mental endurance stuff since he retired from Rubby. Wired all wrong if you ask me

I’m guessing he got covid. It’s rampant up there apparently and very difficult to tell the symptoms apart from regular altitude sickness

Be suicide to climb everest with even minor lung issues you’d imagine

I’m not going climbing Everest cause my wife just said she wouldn’t let me. I’d do it otherwise.
