gohuskies posted:Having climbed six of the seven summits does not make you a skilled climber. All but Denali and Everest are just hikes of varying degrees of strenuousness, and even Denali doesn't have any technical climbing. ante posted:That's a very armchair-expert position to take Not sure whether this is just a typo, but I just wanted to point out that "six of the seven summits" (highest mountain on each contintent, of which most are "easy") is nothing like "six of the highest peaks in the world", which is a much more insane challenge.

You don't have to get rid of the mountain entirely, just make it shorter than K2.

Nocheez posted:The largest is Mount Mitchell in NC, like 6800'. I hiked it in February, the was snow at the top but I was in shorts. I went up the top of Mt Kosciusko in tshirt and shorts because they told us that it wouldn't be cold up there in summer.

I'm the highest human, because I'm posting from the summit of Mount Chimborazo in South America, and I'm at least two kilometers higher than any of those chumps on Everest.

Which joker put this thread into my bookmarks. Ah, a very intelligent mod put the in-joke as the title of the thread rather than the sub-title. That seems like a good idea now it's back in GBS!
