Episode 57: Dilemmas ft. Mountaineering

Zaib returns with another episode on (somewhat) deep thinking and this time to talk about the moral dilemmas that surround Mountain climbing as a sport/recreational activity in the light of the sad disappearance and untimely demise of Muhammad Ali Sadpara, John Snorri Sigurjónsson and Juan Pablo Mohr Prieto while ascending K2.

Zaib goes through the intentions and rationale behind mountain climbing and how it has a novelty associated with it but with it also countering arguments that make it seem like a wasteful adventure. Zaib takes a deep dive into the activity and tries to reach a conclusion whether or not Mountain Climbing should be considered a celebrated human expedition.
