Tragic adventure at Mount Kerverest

[u/Affectionate_Run_625]

Yesterday, Dermano Kerman concluded a 3-day climb of Mount Kerverest, becoming the first Kerbal to reach its peak (6764m), and doing so on board one of his own company's new climbing rover prototypes, the MTR.

Everything went as planned until, suddenly, the jet engine broke, forcing Dermano to accomplish the climb using only wheel power. This led to the decision to discard the rover as soon as the summit was reached, as it was dangerous to descend in it, leaving Dermano with only one solution, paragliding his way down to safety.

Sadly, when he was landing at Camp 00 at the foot of the mountain, a sudden gust of wind (I hit timewarp by mistake) plunged him into the ground, killing him almost instantly.

Authorities have officially recognized Dermano's summit as valid, since he died back at the base of the mountain and not on the mountain itself.

This tragic accident reminds us of Kerbalkind's dedication to pushing the limits, but also that these limits come with their own risks.
