Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2008 4:01 pmTragic loss, true explorer who, as Everest proves!, pushed the limits of what was explorable.
On a side note, he will live on, in kendal mint cake form!, his expedition to everest took some with them and one of the party provides an anecdote about it, in the terrible conditions up there "our only complaint was, we didnt have enough!!"
This man was a REAL explorer, his party integrated with the nepalian people to gain the knowledge needed to climb the trecherous mountain.
