Jordan, well, seems he might be having another one of his growth spurts. We left US and he was 5?10?, 160lb, and we all agree that it looks as if he’s grown just in the 10 days. He woke up today and chatting with his tent mate Richard, and Karen says ‘oh my, his voice is exactly like yours (dads) now’. Happens overnight. wow.

....wasn't it on Denali that he was breastfeeding? Jeez. Kids these days grow up so fast!

Must be all that high altitude fresh air!

Maybe she could become a teecher, then hook up with the 13 year old after he summits Mt. Elbert, I mean Everest. Hopefully the boy won't mind teeth that look like Cimarron Ridge, Colorado.

Cimarron Ridge

I could see that, I'm sure their first date would consist of swapping stories on how they got all their endorsements and how they secretly don't like some of them but keep them just for the money!

I'm sure it would be a fun night and end with poor Jordan recommending an orthodontist, not quite knowing or being acclimatized to female emotions yet. Ohh but he would learn quickly!

Did this kid plead "hardship" that he couldn't finish high school 1st - and then go climb?

Excellent stuff, FM! ""Social services, Nepali authorities, MI-5, and NASA should take these kids away from these awful parents" wrote many members of SummitPost, a staid users group of overweight hikers." Ha ha.

I can't believe I missed this back in April (I was - gasp - in the mountains) but this is great, Fort Mental.

Elves, can you get it onto the front page somehow? It would be wrong not to.

In the midst of a particularly difficult day, one need only log on the musings of our friend, FortMental, to find solace and sanity. Thank you my friend for yet another "classic"

What's next for the Everest Summiter?

50 State Highpoints!!!

WOW!

I'm speechless!

Is that true? or are you just being yourself?
