Everest

January 22, 2008

May 23, 2006, David Sharp died at Mount Everest. I can’t really blame any of the climbers for it — I’m watching Everest: Beyond the Limit right now, and I can see the foolishness that most people have once the altitude gets into their head. The higher up they go, the harder it is for them to keep a clear head.

My favourite climber of the series would have to be Mogens Jensen. He’s a smart one! He knew his limits, and he never gave up. He didn’t make it up successfully May, 2006, but he did make it the following year. Go Mogens!!!
