You think the lines at Disney and Universal are bad...

Look at this line of people waiting to get to the summit of Mt. Everest...



It was posted in a tweet yesterday from a guy named Ben Fogle.

And that’s just the line for the bathroom!

wow, looks dangerous. and not so much brag worthy, dont get me wrong, quite an acheivement.

Dang! I didn't even think of having to go to the bathroom! Do the climbers wear diapers? I can't imagine exposing my privates in that environment. Talk about shrinkage!

A few people have already died this year and they are saying this line and the amount of people is a factor.

 

[Minnesota!]

so, the way down must be on the other side.. can't imagine all the "excuse me, excuse me" as you come back down through that line...

Not an achievement I have EVER had dreams of attaining..

Unless the next person in line at the top gives the one in front a little push........

This actually makes me very sad. My husband is a mountain climber in his spare time. If he really wanted to he could train to do Everest. Thankfully he doesn't want to. Partially because it has become such a business. There are so many that try to climb it that they think if they can afford to do it then they can do it. Sherpas risk their lives to get these folks up there. Again thankful that he decided to not pursue this one.

Interesting fact: In Expedition Everest you are not riding to the top of Mount Everest. The peak is actually the Forbidden Mountain, and Mt. Everest is one of the smaller mountains off to the side.

Super-realistic themeing in the queue though. That snow almost looks real. Props to the Imagineers. And CM’s dressed like sherpas? Brilliant!

This makes my palms sweat.

Too dang cold! It hurts just thinking about it.

Interesting thought. This is the Nepalese side, and the other side is Tibet. There must be some kind of "go around" to come back down...permits, and such.

Same way down as up.

Make's it harder for those pesky line cutters!

I was just listening to a podcast today about how climbers only have a certain span of time (48 hours?) in the low oxygen “death zone” on Everest before they’ll die. So it’s basically a rush to get to the summit and down. This line can’t be good....

This picture surprised me: I thought they had to wear oxygen when they got up that high.
