And I've got mine
^Yeah, I was commenting on "gamer journalist talks about what nature is like." I've lived at 7,000 feet for a brief spell, and really enjoy hiking. Also, everyone in Colorado is super fit and sexy, and they spend every day scampering up and down rocks, smoking weed, and listening to bluegrass.

Man, I miss Colorado.

Oh, they also ran a pre-release competition in which you could win a trip to Everest and play the game on the mountain.

From the article: . At around 8,000 feet, our lungs stop adjusting to the thin air, and you almost permanently feel out of breath.

Everyone walking around Aspen is just gasping like a fish. This is why no one in Colorado is fit.

It looks like it was filmed off somebody's VHS copy and there are some bits of very wonky editing, but it is certainly worth an hour and twenty minutes of your time.

Hey, %50 off climbing to base camp! http://www.theclymb.com/adventures/14450/everest-base-camp/show-product/132775

Sure, we won't die on the summit, but we could find a way to die on our way.

I'm saying one, but with a really specific caveat: it will be ONE OF US!

I wanna keep my guess at 26 but i will also predict Everest will lash out at those who dare make light of its dreadful power. 1 poster from this thread will die in 2015.

Oh poo poo, beaten by so little.

I'll volunteer. I'll provide the goon blood.

All this talk about tiny holes made me think of ted the caver. I liked how the story of finding a new route into a cave was all real and he just embellished it with the 2SPOOKY fiction on top. The best part about it was this picture:



Pretty sure angelfire only exists to keep this guy's site alive.

Totally worth the read, by the way.
