Apparently it is wise to carry when ascending everest. These guys about got killed by a mob of angry Sherpas:

Does it not sound like good discipline and manners would have been their best defense strategy? ;)

True, it's very probable that these guys were responsible for the escalation, although the article makes it sound like the one Sherpa guide boss went ballistic quickly. Staring down hundreds of Sherpas with ice axes is a sobering experience I imagine.

certainly feels a lot of he said/sherpa said with both sides getting hot in the knickers a little to quickly.

Whoever was actually at fault, getting on the bad side of the people who literally carry the very air you need to breathe seems like a bad idea to say the least.

True. Which ever gun you chose for Everest carry, you would need a Nepalese Sherpa to carry it !

S&W 327PD... Lightweight but powerful, holding 7 rounds of .357 Magnum in a package weighing about the same as a glock 19. Load it up with some 180gr Buffalo Bore hard casts and those Sherpas won't know what hit em.

Good luck getting that one into Nepal.

Whatever gun you carry on Everest, do you have to carry it in a Blackhawk Sherpa holster?
