Would it be possible to do a himilayan expedition, where the use of sherpas is the norm, without the use of sherpas? Such as on everest or k2. I mean are fresh potatos, pancakes, and cotton clothes for base camp really necessary? Couldn't we just suck it up and go freeze dried all the way, and stink for a month? Then carry the excess gear in stages while acclimitizing? [ 11-29-2001: Message edited by: epb ]

WMI (wilderness medical institute), WMA (wilderness medical associates), and SOLO (stonehearth outdoor leadership opportunities) are the institutes you want to get your certification from. Check them out on the web for there course locations and scheduling. The WFR course is a must for any climber or outdoor enthusist.

I was just wondering who here can do a one arm? I can do 20 and some odd pull ups and even more chin ups, but can barely hold my body weight with one arm. How many pullups are the kids out there doing with two arms that can pull off a one arm?

Salomon Super 9's would be fine. The cold would be your only concern. I wouldn't be too concerned with it though, I have seen many people climb routes on washington with much less. If you are concerned though, rather than buying a new pair of boots....just get a pair of overboots to keep you warm.
