Proper Preparation For the Seven Summits

[Dechristo]

A MUST for all serious climbers:

 

Snowbird resort in Utah is planning a five-day clinic in August for rookie

mountaineers with cash to burn. For a mere $8,400, Snowbird Expeditions will

teach rudimentary mountain skills in a luxurious setting (gourmet meals,

recovery in Snowbird's Cliff Lodge spas, helicopter approach to basecamp and

climbs, etc.) and will feature 1-to-1 guide-student ratios with courses led by

some of the most experienced Himalayan mountaineers, including David Breashears,

Apa Sherpa, Willie and Damian Benegas, and Amy Bullard. The first camp is Aug.

12-16; see www.snowbirdx.com for more info.

doesn't dick bass own snowbird?

There's an explanation:

 

...for event

...for location

...for elitist accomodations.

What is challenging about a "6 day, mentally and physically challenging adventure..."

 

That includes:

 

""Spa Level" rooms...spa treatments, yoga, nutritious gourmet meals and full time access to the private Summit Room for movies and snacks..."

 

I say get them into a realistic harsh environment 100 miles from anything, work their fucking asses repeatedly into the ground and then after 30 days, give them chicken-scratched directions written on a stained cocktail napkin to the nearest airport. Make sure they sign a waiver of course!

STOP WHINING YOU PUSSIES AND MAKE A BILLION DOLLARS AND YOU TOO CAN BUY A SUMMIT OR SEVEN

[Fairweather]

Carry this up Mount Si three times per week, then ask your seven summit guide to help you out with it.

When not in the field, participants will be staying in Snowbird's award-winning Cliff Lodge "Spa Level" rooms. Each day in resort will include spa treatments, yoga, nutritious gourmet meals and full time access to the private Summit Room for movies and snacks. Daily intimate personal experience presentation topics run the gamut from what went right and terribly wrong on Everest in May 1996, to mental and physical preparation for extreme challenges. While in the field yurt and tent accommodations, hot showers, and nutritious feasts will ensure you the mental and physical stamina to maximize each day's offerings.

A MUST for all serious speed climbers:

 

Fido resort in Portland is planning a five-day clinic in August for rookie

mountaineers with cash to burn. For a mere $8,400, Fido Expeditions will

teach rudimentary mountain speed, Internet debate, avatar registration, outright lying, defamation of your betters, and how to fake GPS log skills in a luxurious setting (gourmet meals,

recovery in Fido's Cliff Lodge spas, helicopter approach to Muir Hut and

climbs, etc.) and will feature 1-to-1 guide-student ratios with courses led by

some of the most fastest Cascade volcano avatars, including Dan Fido and his many avatars all of whom refer to themselves as "we". The first camp is Aug.

12-16; see www.mountainspeedfido.com for more info.

 

[snugtop]

can I bring my dog? I wanna sign up for the dog-human speed ascent workshop.

[Recycled]

Sounds pretty damn Tantric to me.

[snugtop]

no...Tantra is covered at the "Daily intimate personal experience presentation"

[Recycled]

Yeah, the "hot showers, and nutritious feasts will ensure you the mental and physical stamina to maximize each day's offerings" sounded pretty good too.
