I agree. In fact, everything I know about the Las Vegas area I have gleaned from watching episodes of CSI-Las Vegas. For example, I know that Las Vegas and surrounding lands look shockingly similar to Lake Castaic and the Newhall areas north of Los Angeles.
To the gent who has climbed K2, but not the Pakistani K2, I am with you, man. You may also consider climbing Orizaba, the island highpoint of Catalina Island off of the L.A. coast. Me, I have climbed the highest point of McKinley ... County, New Mexico.
Why, I bet we could find littler, easier peaks with the same names as their more famous brethren. We could call it the "Weenie 7 Summits". Thirteen year old kids who do them would be called heros.
Lastly, watching one of those real-life crime re-enactment shows recently about a Phoenix-area housewife killed by her husband in Puerto Penasco, Mexico, they needed some stock footage of "Mexico" for the show. They accomplished this by quick, blurry road shots around Scottsdale and the Papago Buttes in Tempe. So now I know what Mexico probably looks like.
