WOW, thats very impressive

I'm using the rounded height of Everest!

But supposing the highest mountain on earth had been a lot more than that.

What height would it have to be to make it unclimbable?

Or would some sort of specially adapted "space suit" have been developed specifically for climbers to make the top section climbable.

Gonna have to make assumptions about the terrain at the top of such a mountain. i.e not a very difficult technical section.

Already discussed in NEWS!

Hoping some of the seasoned climbers could help me out?

I'm curious if a route, on sandstone, could be weathered enough over the span of say, 10 years, to affect the original rating.

Perhaps we all know that a bushwhacking mile can change peoples opinions on this topic. Given your opinion on the matter, what do YOU think it is?

Happy Easter to you all!

I am told that this new system of route marking in the mountains is being trialed in the UK, and is very likely to be adapted throughout Europe and the USA.

luminous painted rocks to reduce getting lost after dark

I think the most important thing to remember is that, whilst very large numbers of rocks will need to be treated with this paint, the paint will hardly show up in daytime. Only becoming visible ...

alright, i saw this and had to post it.
