Best way to climb Mt. Everest?
« on: June 08, 2015, 05:49:34 PM »
A BETTER and safer way to ‘climb’ Mount Everest:

Keep an eye on the elevation on the left side of your computer screen and then move your mouse slowly at the end to see a 360 view.

I can't imagine how anyone can do that climb without supplementary oxygen.  I climbed Mt Wilhelm in PNG- 14800 feet, and I was struggling with altitude sickness from 13000 feet onwards.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

But if they acclimatise for long enough, wouldn't that increase their ability to withstand the higher altitudes without needing the oxygen supplement?

They would, however that is going to take a minimum of 52 days. Oxygen is so much easier, however I have heard that Everest is littered with empty oxygen bottles.

I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.
