  • @love2shoot You're a fool.

  • My dad climbed mt McKinley! He only lost his eyebrows and part of his big toe. And the eyebrows soon grew back.

    Anyway, it's better to die doing what you want to do than to die without having done it.

  • Who climbs SOLO?!

  • death is a risk eveyone takes everyday, driving, surfing, serving duty, etc... So this another risk

  • I don't mean to sound rude or offensive but this is a general question

    does a person make history books if he/she make the entire round trip or just the top? thanks

  • @fratanities

    "Naomi" can be used for both male and female.
