Hasn't voted | W I see you've still got a couple of misspellings of Hillary's name - Edmund, not Edmound/Edmond. Also, why have those speed records and the first Canadian ascent in the table*, but not the 1980 Japanese FA of the Supercouloir or the 1984 Australian FA of the (Great) Norton Couloir ? The Japanese did the FA of the N face, not Messner and these are the two major routes on the face, more significant than the 1986 Canadians on the W ridge. I know I'm a bad person and all, but this is basic stuff and a bit disappointing in the page that is supposedly the best on SP, if I'm reading this new 'Best of ' page right. D * aside from you being Canadian, I mean :-) | |

Hasn't voted | Hi Damien. I only placed summit events that I found in books I have. The books I have list the Canadian achievements as well so I have included. I realize I am Canadian but its is not like I made it Bolder or highlighted it. I had an Italian ask me to include an ascent from the 80's that I could not find anywhere. I didn't because I could not verify the truth of what was sent me. Its is not the official summit log by far. (•: (I never claimed it to be the best on SP. I only do the best I can with the time I can afford to the project.) Sorry on all the Edmunds... thought I had caught all those a while back. (you are not the first to point them out). I will try and fix. Thanks for all the Antartic emails. Cheers William | |

Hasn't voted | W No worries. I actually only visited the page on this occasion because it was at: http://www.summitpost.org/list/276981/the-five-best-quality-pages.html Isn't there another Top 10 somewhere too ? Peter Gillman's book on Everest gives a good overview on the history, but you could also go down the list at adventurestats.com and pick out all the FAs. Keep up the good work. D | |

| darknight | about Elevation | |
Voted 10/10 | the exact Elevation of everst is 8844.43m . sir | |

| William Marler | Re: about Elevation | |
Hasn't voted | Does that translate to 29,028 feet? If so that is the old altitude mark. Was revised 10 years ago to 29,035 ft. If I have it wrong please provide a source where I can verify this. The altitude I have posted is what I find everywhere I have read. Let me know if I have missed a new measurement. Thanks and Cheers William | |
