I gotta say

Voted 10/10

That looks pretty cold, did you manage to keep warm with those suits on?

It looks a little crowded up there There's not much unique distinction to climb Everest anymore.

	Hasn't voted	Yup, you are right Nyle, There were 7 people on the summit with me that morning, pretty crowded. 3000 individual summits out of 6.7 billion on earth have summited Everest, not a big deal anymore. :)

What's a buzzkill, a put-down? I envy Hillary for being up there just with Tensing. I wouldn't pay $65,000 to duplicate his achievement. It would have been a lot cheaper back in 1953.
