Big deal . . . you bagged the peak, but it's all been done . . . now we gotta start dancing on top . . . I'm resurrecting J.Lo and the crew from, 'In Living Color' . . . talk about "rockin' the house . . .

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

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...
and then you find it unexplicable why young women develop anorexia
