Crossing the Khumbu Icefall on Mount Everest using ladders

This icefall is considered one of the most dangerous stages of the South Col route to the summit of Mount Everest

1. My knees go weak crossing a bridge in a car

So that's an extra super hard nope from me.

2. Watched "Everest" again

last night for the umpteenth time - those climbers are something else, so focused on reaching the summit they disregard their own lives.

3. Like trying to spell "way" with an "f" . . .

Because there's no f in "way".

6. Lol

A keeper

4. I've always hated great heights.

When I was a kid, we drove out to Colorado and drove all over the state. We went to Royal Gorge, and my dad decided to drive across the wooden bridge made with ropes that went across the gorge. I thought we were going to die. It didn't make me more tolerant of heights.

9. Damn, Celine

That's horrifying. I'm sorry you had to experience that.

5. Absolutely not

No.

7. Think about the Sherpas that had to set it up.

8. I read Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air

He described crossing the Khumbu icefall. I got the impression that it was so much wider.

Width doesn't matter - it's terrifying. It was terrifying to read about and it's terrifying to see.

I highly recommend the book to anyone. No need to be interested in mountain climbing; it's gripping.
