Highest point in Pennsylvania is 3200 feet. Hills everywhere but not a mountain in sight.

I climbed Clingman's Dome when I was nine. Then a bear came and I was scared.

We just don't have the exciting geographic activity to get really tall mountains. If you're up for a challenge, try jogging across the Nullabor Plain.

In Oklahoma, we used to say defensively that our mountains were so low because they were OLDER. I don't know if this is true.

I'm a fat nerd. I like living. The nullabor is not for me. I was just very disappointed when I got to the top of Kosciusko.  i climbed up that, which was nowhere near as high, but it was way more intense. Another part of that national park has a track that goes through heaps of trees, up some stairs, through a 10m or so tight crevasse, and you are just on a cliff without any sort of warning at all. It way way cooler and only a 6 hour round trip opposed to the 32 (of just driving) to get to Kosciusko national park. The road was very cool though, you get into the park and it has one of those twisty road signs with Next 60km under it  Even Mt Warning in NSW is better, and thats a 4 hour course, you have to rock climb to get to the peak.

7.7 earthquake west of Kathmandu. Time will tell if this destabilizes any paths up.

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/strong-earthquake-felt-nepals-capital-30576522 Crazy, yesterday I was reading about the earlier quake that obliterated former Kathmandu. And after the Google View tour of the area, the place looked like anything would shatter it. I guess these pictures say that's true.

Well if it was felt in New Delhi... I thought being 150km from Kathmandu which wasn't the epicenter would lessen the doom and gloom aspect. But dang. Edit: The speed of a video of Kathmandu after is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAv0yHowP6Y Dely Apple fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Apr 25, 2015 |

7.7 is a big loving quake. But don't worry, if anyone can survive it, it's the large group of highly trained moutaineers who were about to scale Everest.

Basecamp also very damaged according to some dude on Twitter https://twitter.com/danielmazur/status/591878398999330817 Now you just know there's a debate raging in Camp 4 about whether to summit or not after having just watched the camps below them get wiped out.

So the Indian team of army guys or whoever that went to pick up poo poo off the mountain are apparently safe and are now in rescue mode instead of garbage mode.

You could say that pulling body bags of rich adventure tourists off the mountain is still considered to be in garbage mode.

I have a friend who lives in New Dehli who is talking about feeling it on Facebook, so I went to the USGS earthquake map, and saw it was centered in Nepal. I was being facetious with my death count number, but now I'm not so sure. There's been a lot of foreshocks and aftershocks too, Here's a link to the site and specific area: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthqua...2%3Afalse%7D%7D

PostNouveau posted:7.7 is a big loving quake. According to that USGS link it was a 7.9. And one of the aftershocks was a 6.6. That's some serious loving movement. Everest season has officially begun.

I wonder how many Sherpas are going to scram now. After last year's avalanche and now an earthquake. If I believed in a mountain god, I'd take these to be strong signs to get the gently caress away. Next year, a boulder rolls through camp, crushing a few dozen. In 2017, lava.

I wonder how messed up their riggings and ladders are now thanks to the avalanches and possible glacial shifts where they cross crevasses. You can't go up if your ladders are at the bottom of a 200m drop, right?
