i agree, definitely not as tech as K2 or trango, but the altitude makes up for it..

i have heard that some people say your body and mind are either built for everest or not..

but then again, i have also heard that guys that were built for everest died because of some unlucky event...

i think a few sherpa guides die each year and they are excellent climbers and very acclimated to the altitude.

anyway, if thats your dream, you should go for it..

if someone was willing to oay for my trip, i would be there in a minute..
