    I’d rather just die. Why am I on Everest to begin with?

    Nope, but as soon as he's dead, I would steal that Batman shirt.

    I would probably be too cold to care about food. Wouldn't eat him...but I might make a snowsuit out of his skin to keep me warm.

    Of course! Just look at those shoulders! She may need ketchup though. :D

    None of y'all made it past camp 4. I'm alone on top of the world enjoying my final moments.

    Well, I'd want it to be fair.

    I would play heads or tails with you.

    If you win, you eat me.
    If I win, I eat you.
    If we lose the penny, we'll have a snowball fight until we both freeze to death :smiley:

    Pretty sure I'd be the one 'volunteering' as 'human popsicle' as I'd be dead before I had the chance to shoot for it :D:D

    Nope. I would carry her back down from the summit.

    Only if there was Grey Poupon available. Otherwise, I just don't think I could.

    Grey poupon at base camp, let’s not waste time and get our butts back down this thing. The Hillary step is gonna be a pain.

    No

    Not even with some Grey Poupon? Not even in a box? With a fox? Or in a boat? With a goat? Cmon!

    I’ve studied quite a bit on Everest, read books, watched movies, and videos. Seen the images of the frozen preserved bodies up there. It’s given me nightmares.

    Mt. Everest is so high, at that altitude, you will die of exposure, cold, cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, or a fall, long before you would ever starve. Not a single death in Everest's history is attributed to starvation.

    So, no, i would not resort to cannibalism. Any time or energy wasted cutting up a body is energy you don't have to put towards getting down below the death zone.

    Did i just pull a Dwight Schrute with that answer? Sorry, it happens.

    So let’s all get down this mountain, and the all you can eat buffet is on me.
