Click through, take a look at that photo. Astonishing.
And lest you think it’s a fake, here’s a bit on the photo’s origin.
Finally, if this touches you at all, grab a copy of Jon Krakauer’s amazing book, Into Thin Air. One of the more gripping books I’ve ever read.
“Into Thin Air” is one of the best books I’ve ever read. Never climbed a mountain, never going to, but I own probably a dozen books on the subject, all because of Krakauer. Incredible book about an incredible story.
I’ve enjoyed waiting in line for Apple Store openings and product releases, but waiting in line atop Everest?!!! That’s over the top!!! 😉
yeah really – i don’t see much point in going to one of the remote difficult and remote parts of the world, to stand in line.
While running the risk of using up all your oxygen and being left behind to die.
