could build a pressurizable cabin cog railway all the way up to the top.

The Europeans beat them to it. You can either climb up the north face of the Eiger or take the Jungfraujoch railroad up the mountain.

It’s a firsthand account of how weather, financial pressure, equipment failures, etc all came together to produce a tragedy that killed 8 climbers in a single day.

Yes, great read. People on the mountain who had no business being there also played a huge part in the tragedy.

I did Everest TWICE - Mary Lynn Everest. Didn’t even use a Sherpa!

As long as she didn't look like a Sherpa

Really, been looking to find some youtube movies or such on it, but there isnt much out there.
Maybe it’s too risky.
But it sounds interesting to read about.

Nice boots.

Or retrieve all the dead bodies littering the trail along with cleaning up the trash?

Highest base jump on record, 23,668' elevation off Mt. Everest.

Were you on top or did Everest mount you?

I hesitated posting my stupid gag, but you guys made it all worthwhile. LOL OMG!

[gas_dr]

It was funny and a well needed laugh. Well played

[mad_as_he$$]

Did you summit?

If you want all the comforts of home, stay home.

The good old days

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Did you summit?

Ha ha ha ha! YES! (but, strangely, no one ever talks about the descent.)

[mad_as_he$$]

Descents are anti-climatic.

Won’t be much longer and they’ll have funicular tram taking you to the Top Of the World Hilton. Aside from the view, I’m not sure the feat even comes with bragging rights anymore.
