Dinesh and Tarakeshwari Rathod; phony mountain climbers
Sean sends us a link to the New York Post which tells the story of Dinesh and Tarakeshwari Rathod – they claimed to be the first Indians to reach the summit of Mount Everest. The couple are police officers in their country, so who would doubt them.
Well, it turns out that they stole photos from another climber, Satyarup Sidhanta, and photoshopped themselves over his images.
So the couple has been banned from climbing any mountains in Nepal for ten years – the Nepalese government had awarded them a certificate based on the photos.
“Our investigation shows that the couple faked their summit. We have imposed a 10-year ban against them from climbing any mountain in Nepal,” Sudarshan Prasad Dhakal, the tourism department chief, told AFP.
The couple disappeared after the investigation was launched and are still missing, the Indian Express reported.
It seems that you can’t trust anyone anymore.
ADDED: TSO claims that they stole his photo, too;

Cocksuckers.
Either of them claim to be a honorary CPO with their Photoshop skills?
Bucket list item check off.
Ultimate resting place: Chock-Full-O-Nuts can on top of Everest.
Never heard from again. End of story.
Everybody gets a trophy mentality strikes again!
Well, I can almost say that now, I’ve seen everything. What can top this?
I’d go to Nepal to get pictures of the Himalayas, just as I’d go to Tajikistan to shoot pictures of those old crumbling castles in the foothills of the Pamirs.
But fake stuff like that? That’s just stupid.
I ain’t got no pictures to show off, but about a gazillion years ago, when I was a student at Brigham Young University, I and two other fellows climbed to the summit of Mount Timpanogos, and signed our names in the book that’s maintained on the summit.
We started before daylight, and it was well after dark when we came back down.
Of course, millions of folks in Utah have also climbed Mount Timpanogos, including lots of small children scampering about fearlessly like little billy goats, but whenever I see that mountain (I drive past it whenever I go to Salt Lake City), or show pictures of it to other folks (there’s lots of pictures of that mountain on the Internet), I always refer to it as, “My Mountain”.
No, it’s not the biggest mountain, but it darn near killed me.
As a matter of fact, quite a few people have been killed on that mountain.
If I had a dollar for everyone I knew named Tarakashwari that was a little sketchy……
Indian police officers don’t have a stellar record on Everest.

Must be the latest graduates of the DANIEL A. BERNATH School of Photoshopping…
Assclowns
I wonder if All-Points Logistics sponsored this excursion?
TSO climbed Everest? Is there anything he hasn’t done? Lovely picture of him with that flag!
It is easy to spot the photo-shopped pics, especially when one eyes the legit pic of TSO after his climb.

I saw that posted at the “DAILY TIME WASTER” web site.
I wonder why the link didn’t work like it was supposed to?
I’ll have to try again.

Shucks, it STILL doesn’t work!
Want to know who has legitimately climbed Everest? Gary Johnson.

Let’s see Trump or Clinton try that.
Speaking of mountain climbers, had anybody seen ours? (Joe) hasn’t posted here in ages, has he?
Come to think of it, you’re right. He done disappeared. Maybe he fell through a crack in the earth?
Maybe those fake Mountain Clibers have disappeared somewhere behind the counter of some “Stop & Rob” gas station/corner store by now?
Local cabbies, both of them
No way that fat guy on the left climbed anything but the chocolate fountain at Golden Corral.
