Business as usual. The commodification of Everest has screwed it up completely. Time to move on and destroy something else for cash.

Sad but true, be interesting to see how the concept pans out

My view? I love topics started with no verifiable facts to debate.

There are plenty of verifiable facts. If you keep abreast of the news.

The world is the common heritage of those who inhabit it. But the bastards have stolen it from us.

Oh, lets see now, from your link....

> The proposal would involve hiring out some of the 326 Himalayan peaks that are currently open to climbers in the poor south Asian country, in an attempt to lure mountaineers away from Everest.

> The highest mountain in the world is suffering from traffic jams and environmental degradation as hundreds of mountaineers attempt its ascent in a short window of favourable weather in late spring every year. Hundreds of other peaks, many unclimbed, receive no attention.

> The move is also designed to attract more climbers to the impoverished country, which depends on the revenue from tourism.

Yep, let them starve for having the audacity to steal these mountains from us!!

Well done shona/gudrun/chambers/thisweeksnewname...

So you presume we are against the idea.?

Dear god, are you five years old or something?

In reply to beervoucher:

No I presume, from his reply, that Shona/Chambers/Gudrun is against it.

I love waking up early in the morning and creeping downstairs to check on your latest puerile attack. I've really missed it. But your standards are slipping, stropster. Take those stupid new headphones off and concentrate a bit more. Give me the kind of unthinking, knee-jerk abuse that I know and love you for. xxx
