Low self-preservation tendencies, but lots of money, is a bad combination. They can afford to get themselves into a lot of trouble.
Siffredi was the first to descend Mount Everest on a snowboard, completing this feat in 2001 via the Norton Couloir.[1][2] In 2002, he disappeared after making his second Everest summit, while attempting to snowboard the Hornbein Couloir; his body has never been found.
dude actually did it once
Possibly twice 🤷♀️
Right? His body was never found, so maybe he reached the bottom and hitched a ride to escape his life and now he's in a monetary somewhere in Nepal leading a quiet, peaceful existence
Or maybe it just reached the bottom and got thrown in the trash because the Sherpas ain't got time for dead white boi paperwork
He’s just out there chilling with DB Cooper.
this reminds me of people that started winning big at the casino, but left empty handed because they continue playing
It’s like winning big money the very first time you try gambling. You ought to quit while you’re ahead, but your judgement is too clouded to actually stop yourself.
Is it... is it possible he ran away? Like I've seen documentaries where people disappear only to be found years later across the country. And people be like: dude made a second life, got tired of it and came back.
It’s only snowz
Play stupid games, win stupid pri~~c~~zes.
*prizes
we would have also accepted "pay" over "win".
Are stupid priczes pay to win?
That's the whitest thing I've heard of in a while.
I hope he got all the pussy up-front.
Where else does one find the pussy?
I've never strayed so far from God's light, but I've heard some pagans "hit it from behind?"
The bussy
You are confusing him with Rocco Siffredi.
At least his brother went on to have a good career
And he conquered many large mountains.
And many a crevasse
Fill it!
Heyo!
... for a split second I though another Siffredi is a talented snowboarder ...
He rides other... ehm... surfaces and deeps.
Good? Stay off the fucking mountain. It's already been littered with human trash and bodies. It's no longer a milestone it's a human trash collector. Fuck him.
It’s no longer a milestone it’s a human ~~trash~~ collector.
He did it 20 years ago stfu
it is 2025, it was fucked 20 years ago too
My back muscles are bigger than your mom
And my dick is bigger than your ego. What's your point?
My main point that I would like to get across here: my back muscles > your mom
Please note that there is no part of this were the two are equal.
Fair enough. Odd, but fair.
Thanks for hearing me out, I really needed that. Have a good rest of your day broski
Probably fell in a crevasse, never to be seen again.
Whatever happened, I hope it was quick.
Anyone have good Sherpa/mountaineering documentary recommendations?
14 Peaks: About a Nepalese mountaineer.
This one on K2 was really interesting. It goes in-depth on why K2 is so much more dangerous than Everest and the many failures of the people attempting to be the first to make it to the top.
Into Thin Air. I think they made a movie, but I read the book.
It's been probably 25 years since I read it and I can still remember what an impression it made.
Big recommend!
Do you speak German or Dutch? It‘s not a documentary, but Toine Heijmans wrote a spectacular book on mountaineering called Zuurstofschuld. There‘s only a German translation though so far. I read the thing cover-to-cover in three days, best read I‘ve had in a while.
Not exactly what you're looking for, but "Scary Interesting" on youtube has some good mountaineering gone wrong stories. They're typically 10-20 minutes long.
I fuckin love that channel. So many late nights watching the 5 worst cave experiences
