This is complete madness. You are basically paying a huge amount of money to maybe (maybe) get at the top…. but are most likely to get sick, lose a limb or die before you even get to the the top. 

And bonus part: If you die, your body is gonna stay on that mountain. There is dozen of very visible bodies on the way to the top. They are so visible that they became point of reference for climbers. 

I cannot understand why anyone would go through this just to what ? Say you have been at the top of a mountain and contributed to pollute it ( because yes the mount Everest is now covered in trash left by climbers )

And here is the video the other woman took:

They can’t raise the bridge because it’s a train trestle, and raising it would require closing and modifying miles of busy track.

They can’t lower the road because it’s directly over a sewer main.

They can’t ban trucks entirely because there are too many local deliveries.

That section of road has a speed limit of 25 mph, numerous signs alerting drivers to the 11'8" limit, and recently they added a sensor that activates the stoplight and a flashing “overheight warning” sign so that drivers have to stop and think really hard about going forward.

The clearance is actually nearly three inches more than 11'8", the maximum deviation from the signage allowed.

Trucks have been getting stuck or damaged since the 1960s.
