Dru Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 What about Britney Spears ambitions and plenty of experience on other virgin "summits"?? I too suspect a come-on for guided hoo-ha and lots of wannabe Karakauers making daily spam webcasts back home to http://www.imgettingguidedupahimalayanmountain.com. Sorry in advance if I'm wrong.

Stefan Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 G2 was overall great. The Karakorum is a very intimidating place when you look at the mountains. However, you do not get that "wilderness" feel because there are people everywhere--especially porters. I had to return about midway through the expedition due to my wife having an uplanned surgery--so I did not make it. Quite an impressive place. Some mornings you could hear the bombs exploding way far away..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambone Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 I'd assume that it might be pretty scetchy for americans over there right now... Would you guys agree? That kinda sucks for the porters and their families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I must say there are some definite things that Lowell has done that I am sure I will never get a chance to do. Good for him. I was not meaning to slam the dude or compare myself. Rather just thorowing some fun spray out there. Of course in reality I am sure the dude is an expert in the jungles I kind of think that shit is funny (bushwhacking)... when it is finally over.

mikeadam Posted November 4, 2001 Share Posted November 4, 2001 I don't think anyone is idolizing anyone Captain C. I think it's just about respect, but I understand that sometimes the joke doesn't have to be funny to everyone (or anyone for that matter). Some people write websites, AND climb mountains, AND ice, AND rock, AND ski AND lay around on the couch smoking while waiting for that call...NOW where's those non filtered Paul Malls????
