Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"Media reports said the climber had returned to the 3,776-metre peak on Friday because he had left his phone and other items at the scene of his first rescue. It was unclear if he had managed to find the device."

LMAO, how mad were the rescue crews the second time around though? "You again? What the fuck is your problem?!"

And he may not have found what he needed. Rescuers bracing for another go for sure

I'm not generally a big fan of outsourcing, but he might consider hiring someone who doesn't become completely useless at elevations higher than 2000m, and need a helicopter rescue...

It's interesting to see how there is even a cutout for their hair ... way to much space IMHO.

It's made for him. It's his hole.

Well, did he get his phone?

FTA

It was unclear if he had managed to find the device.

Imagine the headline next week when he goes back and needs to be rescued a third time.
