Everest: Beyond the Limit

Anyone else watching this show on Discovery?


I have been moderately obsessed with Mt. Everest ever since I read "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer many years ago. Its a great book. I can appreciate man vs challenges and crap like that, but when people are climbing and their bodies are shutting down, it just doesnt seem like real great thing to do.

I forget what the top of everest is about 29,000 feet? planes fly at 30000-35000 feet?

Im somewhat bitter as this show is on the same time as Nip/Tuck.


Kimber vs Everest....

hmmm...

who will win?

is this the one where on VH1's best week ever, they showed someone pissing into a towel and then wrapping the pee-soaked-towel around his head to stay cool...? damn that's real life, man.

"but when people are climbing and their bodies are shutting down, it just doesnt seem like real great thing to do."

I pretty much complete fillued my lungs with water climbing over a mountaint in South America. Altitude fucks you up, but I can't promise I'd never do it again.
