There is no way they were the first vegans in 2016. There have been 100+ ascents per year for decades, should have been around 6000 in total as of 2016.

Considering the mountain is in a part of the world where significant parts of the population are de-facto vegans without identifying as such, I highly doubt that no one among the 6k people before them was living on a plant based diet

Worst vacation ever

No matter my diet, I'm not so sure I'd survive that either. Anyone who's been up there and found it easy can have a laugh though

If this is the same story I'm thinking of, she and her partner wanted to be the first vegans to climb to the top, to show the world that vegans can do it. Coincidentally, another vegan actually did it like 1-2 days before their attempt.

that joke is 1000 more annoying then vegans atp 🫩

I'm my experience it's about a ten to one ratio of people who shit on vegans because they "never shut up about it" vs vegans who actually never shut up about it. So a vegan wanted to show she could climb Mt Everest. She did it, then she died of acute altitude sickness during the descent, something completely unrelated to her diet. Her husband, also vegan, lived. She became one of hundreds of people who have died in that climb, all of whom wanted to prove they could do it. Just let people live their life how they want to. Heaping scorn on someone who died trying to prove themselves isn't cool.

we shouldn’t make fun of people dying just because they’re vegan. That’s tastelsss.

I don't understand the people that make fun of vegans because they "don't stop talking about it" and then don't stop talking about how they hate AI and would never use it. You guys are AI vegans, you should understand the passion

edit: before dumbs come at me, I'm not at all supporting AI I'm just comparing the passion os subjects

haha she was a vegan, exceptional content, true comedy. Will they ever shut up about being vegan? haha I'm so funny

There are a lot of vegans and vegetarians who don't make it their raison d'etre, so I'm sure there have been some who climbed Everest in the past, even if we don't know about it.

This is so old that you're just making fun of vegans.

to be fair, an entire industry and infrastructure popped up in everest to make climbing it much easier for a fee.

so pampered tourists can say they conquered the tallest mountain, when the locals were the ones to do most of the work.

meaning climbing the everest isn't quite the achievement it used to be.

Thank god she wasn't also an atheist and a lawyer or we'd never get a word in!
