faster_than_you Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 If a climber breaks a record and there aren't any third party timers, does a tree in the forest get chopped down while debating the merits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfinley Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Awesome, more pointless triviality for the media to glorify while real climbing accomplishments go unnoticed. What's a "real" climbing accomplishment? In my opinion hyping up a climb for sponsors is just as banal as putting a kid on top of Everest.

ScaredSilly Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 who will be the first to give birth at the summit (w/o oxygen of course!)? Â But will the birth count if the conception is elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I wonder if semen ejaculates at a greater velocity on the summit, due to the lower air pressure at that altitude? Â I bet I can get a grant from the Obama Administration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Who cares about humans on Everest. Mules have been helping haul supplies to base camp for years. It's about time for a first mule ascent of the mountain.

What's a "real" climbing accomplishment? In my opinion hyping up a climb for sponsors is just as banal as putting a kid on top of Everest. Â Well, if you ask anybody outside the fairly small climbing community, I'd imagine most people would find it all equally pointless and banal.
