Ganja on the slopes of mt everest.

Heres a couple pics of some trees I saw growing in a garden on my trek up to Everest Base Camp. Great smell and very sticky but sadly they dont cure ans dry the shit out of it and have loads of seeds. Very surreal smokin this stuff with all the beautiful views. Got stuck in the worst now storm in 20 years and almost had to be choppered out but we had a brave guide who led us down safely after being snowed in for 3 days at 4500 meters! Some other pics of the hike as well

I watched a few doc's on Everest. I was impressed at the amount of will it takes to complete something so awesome. I have had altitude sickness b4 while traveling in the mtns. It is not fun. I don't think I can put that one on the bucket list.
 
a crazy experience. Nepali people are generally very kind unlike india (my ancestral origin) racism? I dunno I. Ju
st going by my own experience

Anyone can do it provided enough training. The biggest hurdle is weather. All mountains produce their own micro climates but the effect is magnified on the highest mtn (from seal level) to an exponential degree. Talk about having four seasons in a day. Rain, wind, snow, ice, clouds, no clouds (actually the coldest time for us) sunny, and jungle like humidity until you get passed the treeline (generally in this mountain range around 12, 000 ft) . Definitely going back one day to finish the job. So still technically a bucket list item for me too. I also am really hoping to one day do mt Kilimanjaro (max alt ~19000 ft).

Thanks for letting me share my life changing experience with u guys

not everyone can do it. that's why so many people die up there. its because they think any1 can do it. you have to have superior lungs and lets face it. pot heads do not. if you live in a warm climate all yur life your lungs have no business being 29,000 ft. training helps but only so much. Some of the best and most experienced climber's have died trying. RIP.
