Sherpa Kami Rita adds on to his record with his 23rd and 24th successful climbs (done less than a month apart). Says he's going to do one more and then retire.

Where "less than a month apart" means "twice in 7 days".

I can recommend Etna, it's like 3300m so a little thinner air but not dangerously so, plus it's a friggin' active volcano.

If anything this thread has made me want to get to Nepal and go to Namche Bazar or Tengboche... then, instead of suicide by mountain, I'll just go back.

Namche Bazar is just the start of the trip, you can go to kalahpattar and gokyo peak, or even everest base camp. There's plenty to see.

*narrows eyes* That sounds like a trap.

e: never mind, I just found this amazing offer for a mere $100,000: https://www.furtenbachadventures.com/en/program/flash-expeditions/everest-flash/

Tthe most famous unclimbed mountain is probably Kailash. Messner even had the permit at one point but decided against summiting.

I still don't understand what "crampons on the wrong feet" means. Whose feet were they on, his grandmother's?
