Yah, 'spaw is right, I've got a several relations that have been there, and one that is there still. Of course they didn't find him for 75 years, and by then he was pretty much one with the mountain...
Don't catch me up in those thin air places, either, but the daughter has hankerings, and is out getting climbing lessons from the family.
Now that the dust has settled and the book deals have been cut, (there are 7 new books that I know of) I can probably say that my SO's grandfather -- the guy that coined the phrase "Because it's there" -- died up there in '24.
But I'm with Rick. "Because it's there" seems like a good reason to have a good look from the bottom instead of the top.
Blessings,
Barbara
