faster_than_you Posted June 9, 2010 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
Julian Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Awesome, more pointless triviality for the media to glorify while real climbing accomplishments go unnoticed. Quote
ivan Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 who will be the first to give birth at the summit (w/o oxygen of course!)? Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Awesome, more pointless triviality for the media to glorify while real climbing accomplishments go unnoticed. ya- like my new route at Index! Quote
wfinley Posted June 9, 2010 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. Quote
rocketparrotlet Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Awesome, more pointless triviality for the media to glorify while real climbing accomplishments go unnoticed. ya- like my new route at Index! Â Expand. I want to climb it. Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 I'll post Friday after I climb it. Check out my new facebook album. Don't you have a half day Friday? Quote
sobo Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 How about "Last Person To Climb Everest"? That'll be me. I plan on summitting on December 21, 2012... Quote
ivan Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 How about "Last Person To Climb Everest"? That'll be me. I plan on summitting on December 21, 2012... nice, you get the last winter ascent too! Quote

ScaredSilly Posted June 10, 2010 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
rob Posted June 10, 2010 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
AlpineK Posted June 10, 2010 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. Â [img:center]http://images.travelpod.com/users/jkirby/world2007.1191600300.lots-of-mules.jpg[/img] Quote

marc_leclerc Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Maybe I could be the first to have sex (with a woman so nobody can commment other wise) on the summit.... or even youngest to have sex on the summit! Quote

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. Quote
bstach Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Climbing is an entirely egocentric activity. But so what? Lots of things are. Quote
