I want to climb this.  I saw a thing on TV about climbing it, and I want to do it.  I haven't looked into it yet, but assume it is expensive, but could only imagine the feeling of accomplishment and awe from the summit.  I will try before I turn 40, so I have a ten years or so to practice.

the climb can set you back anywhere from $50 grand to $100+

A 4x5 sheet of film in a large format camera will yield average around 300-400 mega pixels depending on the lens quality.  There are large format cameras that take 8x10 sheets of film and so would yield around around 1,200-1,600 mega pixels or 1.2-1.6 giga pix

You would be impressed by the needle sharp Ansel Adams prints/photo murals that he took during his career.

I once climbed it wearing a pair of sandals and had nothing but a bag of trail mix. Then I took a dump on the peak.

For every ten that get to the top one dies.  If you collapse near the top they will just leave you there.  People going up and coming down will just step over you, even if you are still alive.  Anyways thousands have reached the top so no one will care. Safer to try and look like Ronnie

Yeah, I saw that on the program on Discovery Channel I watched.  Shit is crazy.  I just couldn't imagine the feeling you would get seeing that sight at the top.  And no Stark, I would not tea bag one of the corpses. ;D

so basically some dude took thousands of photos at about 10 megapixels each and then using software pieced them together like a puzzle.  not impressed.

I would like a 2 billion pixel shot of a nice pussy
