Biggest "NOPE" moment?


What moments in this movie made you say "OH HELL NO, I could never do this"? For me, it was when they first begin climbing up those ladders that were all attached together. I can barely get up two steps on a small stepladder. No f-ing way would I be able to climb 5 of them roped together. That was hands down my biggest NOPE moment of the entire film.

The opening credits..... I'm from the south and don't go outside when it drops into the 30s .

LOL

I was just going type what you typed.

I HATE being cold.

This gave me a genuine LOL, because I said EXACTLY the same thing at EXACTLY the same moment of the movie. I was like, "Man, *beep* that!"

When the thought of doing this ever came into my head, like at the beginning of the movie when he was telling his wife he was going. I applaud these people who take these types of risk but not me. I'll just take my chances on a car accident, disease, terrorist act, random shootings and other criminal acts on dying early.

Some say when your number's up you will die and it's written in the book somewhere as destiny but why scare yourself to death doing things like this?

I was a pilot in my younger days and there was a saying that goes something like this. "There are old pilots and bold pilots but no old bold pilots."

Two days ago I went up a 2,800ft "mountain" and wasn't sure I'd even make it that far! We watched Everest that night and I thought "OH HELL NO" almost immediately. They'd been walking so far with the ground already covered in snow and hadn't even got to the start yet. Brings to mind the saying "I would if I could but I can't so I won't" :-)

When they talk about how you're body is dying past a certain elevation.

That ladder scene was crazy. I sure as heck wouldn't do that. One false move and.... Then there was the guy puking up the blood. Ugh. No thanks.

And just the idea of the cold. My feet are always freezing during the winter. Can you imagine Everest? No thanks. LOL.

Time wounds all heels.

Yes. Definitely walking on a ladder over a bottomless crevasse. No fuqqing WAY!!
