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.


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.

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


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

Age is a matter of mind and if you don´t mind it does not matter!
