Dude, I've got a cabin at 10-5.

You're winded, man.

You're winded, man.

You're winded, man.

You're doing it. And that's what causes the lines on Everest. It's not a line due to people are going too slow because of someone in front of them, a traffic jam. It's due to what you just said. You have to take a knee. You're exhausted. Even with oxygen tanks, you have about five levels on each tank. Some tanks have six. Each level... Level one drops it by 1,500 feet.

It drops you down 1,500 feet. If you're at 20,000 feet, you're going to 18.5. If you go to level two, you go to 3,000 feet. It's just 1,500 per level. But the issue is if you go all the way max out to level five, your oxygen tank might only last 15 to 45 minutes. those oxygen tanks weigh a lot. You can't just bring up a ton of oxygen tanks.

So you have to know how to regulate, you have to acclimate, and you have to make sure that your body is recreating these cells, right? And so with that being said, that's why it takes 47 days. Right. You want to trek into base camp. That takes a couple of weeks. You hang out at base camp. You might even go all the way back down to Kathmandu.

You will then go back up to base camp and you wait for a weather window. And once you get that weather window and you and you after you've done a couple of rotations.

You're acclimating. The problem with the Nepalese side, and not a lot of people know this, but Everest is split in half. Half of it's China and half of it's Nepal. The China side doesn't have the Kumbo Icefall. The Nepal side does. And so what happened was China didn't approve our permits. They approved them and then they took them away. China's funny with that stuff, man.

They let their locals go up first, and they're not that inviting to Westerners, and that's just what it is. It's a pretty known fact. Right. And if it's not, well, this podcast will tell. There it is. Climb the Nepal side. Yeah, definitely climb. I mean, it's crazy how they treat us, but- Anyway, so we somehow managed to get a permit on the Nepal side. We get to base camp.
