>>11921861Are you dumb, bro? The Kill Zone is called that because the oxygen is so thin up there that it takes 4 breaths to get the same amount of oxygen that just one breath takes at ground level. That lack of oxygen can cause you to mentally regress to the state of a child in sub-zero temperatures in which one single miss-step can be fatal. Some people struggle tying their shoelaces in such an oxygen depleted environment. And that's not even mentioning the lack of atmosphere to prevent the suns rays from burning your retinas clean off and giving you snowblindness so that even if your brain works properly you're now permanently blind and can do nothing other than sit there and wait for death. And that's if you're LUCKY and you don't fall in a crevasse, step on a cornice, drown under 20ft of avalanches or get blasted clean off the eastern face by an ungodly blizzard. And if that doesn't get you the seracs will.
