Title: mountain climbing!!!!!!!!
Post by: JOHN MATRIX on December 20, 2006, 03:09:28 PM
given the recent media attention to the deaths of so many climbers, it reminds me that mountain climbing is a truly hardcore activity, where only the elite reach the top and people dying in the attempt is commonplace.
this has inspired me.

i think i will test my might and willpower and superiority by climbing a few of north america's peaks, then climb mount everest.

do any of you have any climbing experience/stories?

Used to a lot of rock climbing, abseiling and potholing when I was younger. I liked it, can't say that I would want to do any of that again though.

Some things I wouldn't mind doing are (laugh if you want) the around the world yacht race or walk to the north pole
