catbirdseat Posted May 22, 2003 Posted May 22, 2003 Fifth time is a charm. Great effort for an old guy of 54 years. Wickwire, age 62 and Bass, 73, didn't make it. Too bad. Quote

Rodchester Posted May 22, 2003 Author Posted May 22, 2003 A 70-year-old Japanese scaled Mount Everest on Thursday, a week before the 50th anniversary of the first ascent of the peak, becoming the oldest person to climb the world's highest mountain, Nepal's Tourism Ministry said. 70 it is.... Quote

How many times has Wickwire tried it now? That sucks. And another thing, I've noticed that even with upteenbillion teams trying the mountain this year, I havne't heard of any accidents. Is it possible? Quote
bDubyaH Posted May 22, 2003 Posted May 22, 2003 There has been a bit of a weather bottleneck this year. lots of teams are doing the summit journey right now, so hopefully there will not be any accidents. one of my good friends summited yesterday and sent a sliothar (ball) into oblivion, with his Hurley (think Irish baseball/lacrosse).
