Weird Logic

"What if you were eating pepperoni sticks and some grease got on your hands but you didn't notice, so then when you were attaching it to the mountain or tree, some of the grease transfered onto the rope, and then raccoons or bears could smell the delicious pepperoni and they would start chewing through the rope, so that it would break and you'd fall to your death?"

"Why pepperoni sticks?"

"Because they're probably the easiest food to take mountain climbing."

-Hollie, Jane and Laura. 2006.

This conversation was not, in fact, about this Cocoon: Emergency Shelter, but about a hanging cot for mountain climbers. But I think my logic works in this case as well.

Except for the fact there are no bears or raccoons above the tree line.

And no, your goat explanation is even nuttier.

What about Sherpas? Sometimes the high altitudes drives them insane, I heard.

I think if you have vertigo, it sort of disqualifies you for being a sherpa
