Mount Everest & other Feats of Endurance

Damo has been made a life time member of Galwegians rugby club.

It’s a little surprising he wasn’t much good at rugby.

The Slieve Donard girls did it first.

Noel Hanna has gone missing on Annapurna.

A day or two after becoming the first Irishman to reach the summit.

Reported as dead unfortunately

Annapurna, Nanga Parbet, K2. Those mountains just below Everest in height have serious mortality rates. Everest may as well have a ski lift now as it’s roped the whole way every way

A lot of people have died on Everest in recent years

Was it an avalanche that killed this chap or something else?

3 sherpas were killed on Everest last week

Couldn’t find anywhere more appropriate to post this. Sounds bad. I couldn’t think of much worse ways to go.

They’re fish food now

Tourists could pay 100k+ to go on the expedition.

Mad how they can send a machine to land on Mars but they can’t track a submersible a mile under the water

Pressure of water fucks everything up

They really got the full titanic experience there.

No chance of surviving that you’d imagine, sounds like a shitty little submarine

FFS It’s a submersible.

That sounds like an horrendous way to go

In theory they have enough oxygen on board to last until around Thursday morning.

One theory is that the submersible has become e tangled in the debris of the shipwreck. Their last known position would have been pretty close to the wreck.

Sounds like a job for that search specialist in Lancashire.
