Koflach Arctis?

@thricefelt

Exact. I've had them since 2005. The liners were crap so I changed them for fitted "Intuition" moulded liners.

does it get cold enough up there to that you are praying for warm?

[theodorefairhurst]

@doublefreeze

praying doesn't work, save your energy, keep moving and get the job done sooner than later. Fun question. Believe me, it is bloddy cold.

Must haves for getting through the Khumbu Icefall and climbing Everest : Climbing gear, plenty of oxygen, balls of one raging rhinocerous.

Good point...I just came back from Africa - rhinoceros can get pretty tempermental and impulsive. Hippos were very impressive. Crocs live with them and stay clear. I reckon that you don't want to mess with them yet they seem to keep their cool (pun). Cheers.

Really really good and tough question. I have family and they do get concerned. Selfish is not quite the word though. Different people need different experiences to feel alive and engaged in life. If we only did safe stuff, we wouldn't be where we are as a race. Personally, I need to challenge and test myself and pursue my passions. It is not lame- it is me. I have always been that way. I do understand your point of view- it is also very valid. Visit: DareToReach.ca for more.

If this is you video taping this arduous adventure, then my hats off to you and your team mates Sir! You guys have more balls than I could ever muster, this is coming from a military member. Great video, be safe on future adventures and take every safety precation when venturing into the dead zone up there.

@xXCanadaKidXx There are hundreds of dead bodies on Mt Everest I watched a documentary that said 1 in 6 climbers die. Once you die it is very hard or impossible in a lot of cases to bring the bodies back down.

This part of the trip is very dangerous but impressive

I had a college room mate that was into climbing. He was very good at it, he had books and maps of nearly every route up every mountain in the world. He talked about climbing Everest, I wonder if he ever made it? I haven't heard from him for about 30 years. I know he walked the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia. I would hold the rope and belay, or rappel down, but he could climb a crack about as wide as a piece of paper. I'll stick to riding motorcycles.

God you are so fortunate to be able to do this, I will never have the means to do it, so I live my adventurers through guys like you, thanks so much..

@theodorefairhurst Wow, that is both sad and kinda freaky at the same time... btw you are very good at keeping on top of responding to questions and comments, you earned a sub :)
