I think it’s time for the Sherpas to just stop supporting these priveleged characters who have nothing productive to do.

Daily Mail headline writer made the mistake. It should be meters but they wrote feet.

Read “Into Thin Air” about the wife of the MTV founder and how she acted on Everest. I forgot her name but Prima Donna would be a good fit.

Meters, as base camp is 18-20,000 ft.
To: PJ-Comix
Was if over 7000 meters vs 7000 feet?

After reading “Into Thin Air,” your humble correspondent has absolutely NO DESIRE to climb Everest. Good read, however.

The italian will fight horribly and then switch sides.
The swiss will avoid the fight and appease the opponent.

I’ve lived above 7K feet. I’ve never seen 7K meters other than in an airplane.
Stupid journalists.
To: PJ-Comix
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line, the Sherpa come and take you away.

The summit of Mt. Everest is close to 8,848m, approx. 29,000ft.
To: James C. Bennett
True but the fight wasn’t at the summit.
To: PJ-Comix
Wool StickI can just imagine how he got that name. It must have something to do with his sheepish grin and stupidity to get in a fight with your sherpa at 7,000 whatever.
