Four ex-military friends are planning to summit Everest without the usual lengthy acclimatization period, relying on inhalations of noble gas xenon to prepare them. Critics warn that this method may be unsafe and unethical.

Let them pay the fee and find out. Plenty of room for more dead bodies on the ascent.

Sounds like they’re attempting a real-life version of 'Die Hard' on Everest! Let’s hope their strategy includes a backup plan in case noble gas turns out to be more of a noble folly. Safety first, guys—there’s no oxygen bar at the summit!

So many stories have been written in the past few years about the unpreparedness of leisure climbers attempting Mt. Everest. Being ex-military does not make them professionals. Are these four going to compromise the lives of the sherpas for their personal challenge?

Sherpas are being replaced by drones.

Are they expecting to be rescued when it goes disastrously wrong? 🤷♂️
