sobo Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 Link goes to a dead-end, problem-reporting page. "World latest" link on right side goes to headlines. Scrolling down under "Breaking News" on the left side, one learns of a Russian-built helicopter crash at Everest BC. Is that what you were on about?? Quote
b-rock Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 copy and paste the whole link into your browser... Quote
j_b Posted May 28, 2003 Author Posted May 28, 2003 yeah, it appears the link paste script does not like commas Quote
sobo Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 OK, found the equipment list following b-rock's advice. But the story of the helo crash is pretty interesting, too. Sorrow for the killed. Quote
MysticNacho Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 Here's the link that J-B was actually trying to give: How to climb Everest Quote
catbirdseat Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 Well, there you have it. I now know everything I need to know to climb Everest . All I need is the money. Quote
j_b Posted May 28, 2003 Author Posted May 28, 2003 hey! don't forget the "five-day advanced snow and ice climbing course" or you just might lack the experience necessary. Quote
JoshK Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 "It's advisable to gain an extra stone in weight" What the hell is a stone of weight? Are we talking small stones used to hurl at snaffles or a large stone you'd trundle down to smite your enemies? Quote
sobo Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 see this Site sez it's (exactly) 14 US pounds. All apologies to Ursa Eagle (hehehehehehe) Is this thread going to be a repeat of this? Quote

sobo Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 OMFG! Here we go again!! I figger'd that someone would ask that eventually. Pounds mass, FYI. Quote
