Kit BashirThe north slope of Olympus Mons is littered with the chassis of adventurers who attempt the challenge of scaling the peak without recharging. You might think, "download into a new chassis, try again next year" but the Martian Thessalian League rules are clear, no recovery, one attempt per UUID and all deaths are permanent. Restricting thusly the pool of candidates to only suicidal fools has not had an appreciable effect on the popularity of the climb.
The south ridge route with its regularly spaced charging stations is of course by far more popular, but welding a North Face Medal to one's chassis is the ultimate cachet. For some daft reason. Look I'm done here, this is my last column for Solar Mountaineer Quarterly; sanity out!
