I was thinking about the same pole, I mean line.

There is a nice pole on Whitney's summit hut right? I'm sure its in the directors cut!

That may have been one of the most annoying things I have ever tried watching.

That's F'n Fantastic!!! Wish I had the energy to dance like that at sea level!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In line with the title of the thread all I could think about was what it would look like if people TRIED to do that on the summit of Everest....now that could be entertaining.

Nude would have been better. A lot better.

They look like they might be twins, by the way.

Is there really a handrail/cable on the trail to the summit?

There is a stretch of handrail on the way up the 99 switchbacks.

The first video disappointed me a bit; I thought that was a wagbag on her back (alas, it was just a sack of oranges). I was waiting for the wagbag to explode.

Spandex, it's a privilege, not a right.

98, not 99.

The cable handrail is on the stretch between switchbacks 46 and 47.

There is a hidden switchback, available to cognoscenti, that allows one to get 10 feet higher at Trail Crest. It's scary, though, to be dangling in mid-air like Wile E Coyote.

How long would a nude person live on top of Everest? (Even in good weather!)

I have been nude on the Whitney summit, in summer. It's pretty nice up there in July and August when there is no wind. Several times, I have done the entire hike up and back with nothing other than shoes, shorts, and sunglasses. It depends a lot on the wind.

Too cold at night for sure, though.

Everest, yeah right.

I thought it was fun! They're happy about it! Let them be happy about it.

But jeezz, are you people obsessed upon looks, or what...
