Taking photos from Base Camp is probably more my comfort zone.

However, I've noticed that many of the authors here seem to do this and seem to do just fine so, what the heck, I decided to give it a try. Your kind words indicate that, sometimes, this type of author commentary is helpful. Glad it helped you.<br />As for you in Vancouver and me, near Toronto,..........don't know if you are a hockey fan or not but, lots of Leaf fans are wishing on the Monkey Paw that we trade for your goalie, Luongo. Not sure how that wish will turn out. :)Thomas Charles MacInneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11331362298948608531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7519288249692657296.post-31466751926093563622012-10-20T23:25:09.097-04:002012-10-20T23:25:09.097-04:00Wow, I like how you introduce the piece with your ...Wow, I like how you introduce the piece with your wishes and then count off the consequences. Lucky for me, I shall never climb that mountain.

I guess the trick is to have that moment of accomplishment, when it finally arrives, fill you up with the force of a collapsing star!

Lol!<br /><br />I've read lots of books about Everest, including "Into Thin Air", too. Quite a tale in that book. Lots of stories on the mountain.

There is just something about the years it takes to stand on the summit for a mere minute, the incredible strength required to make the simplest movements on the way up and, just how dangerous it gets on the way down. There is just something about Everest.
