Normally, climbing these peaks is great start for the mountaineering career. Every mountaineer who dreams to scale mighty 8000 mtrs begins their climbing career with climbing these peaks in the Himalayas of Nepal. They acquire necessary climbing skills while conquering the summits of these peaks. Moreover, climbing these peaks is itself a great achievement.Bashu Thapaliyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665065665921857610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037225324590755303.post-54223491470590047332014-11-16T22:50:25.481-08:002014-11-16T22:50:25.481-08:00Article contains so many fruitful information whic...Article contains so many fruitful information which will be liked by the readers as in my opinion <br />this is the best article in this category.<br />tile roof repair,miamihttp://southmiamiroofing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037225324590755303.post-62830596371313326662014-11-05T22:11:14.635-08:002014-11-05T22:11:14.635-08:00Hey, Becky, I have really enjoyed reading your pos...Hey, Becky, I have really enjoyed reading your posts during this expedition.

A very clear and articulate summary of the problems faced both by Nepal (in trying to control a burgeoning industry) and by Trekkers/ climbers seeking the "ultimate" adventure. It is our wish all those offering adventure tours in Nepal do so responsibly, as you do. People do need to take responsibility for themselves. This is life and death.

I however would like to see leaders in that mould take on the inept and nearly criminal attitude of current world leaders to the most dangerous crisis facing our planet; Climate Change. Tim, have you read the book The Truth by Al Gore? You probably have. It's time for you and people like you to lead not the fortunate few up Everest but humanity itself back to a sustainable future.woody4jazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041358114916722280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037225324590755303.post-29222249465142504002014-04-29T00:52:56.189-07:002014-04-29T00:52:56.189-07:00Dear Peak Freaks,

We take calculated risks every day. <br />When crossing a steet we can get run over. Still, we go.<br />When taking a plane, it can crash. Even after MH370 disappreared, we still fly.<br />And when we go skiing or climbing we can get hit by an avalange or develop HAPE. We know that. You, as expedition leaders, know that, and the Sherpa know that as well. Don't complain afterwards! Mourn about the lost friends, and then reassess whether you are still willing to take the risks that climbing has. If the answer is “No.”, then get lost from the mountains.<br />The icefall is not more dangerous this year than it has been in the previous years. It is you – and quite a few Sherpa that accumulated a relative wealth compared to their fellow country man – who are not willing to take the risks that you are paid for any more. This – in my humble opinion – is betrayal of your clients.<br />RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037225324590755303.post-68547379347185009232014-04-28T19:00:38.074-07:002014-04-28T19:00:38.074-07:00I truly wish the government would shut down the mo...I truly wish the government would shut down the mountain for at least 5 years.

Tragedy brings us deep sorrow and disbelief, but Tim, in these unspeakable events, ones mind will drift to the " what could have been" and it is their that the event can claim even more lives. It is so very important to remember those that were lost, equally it is important to remember what happened so we may learn. Tim my friend, I lost a year of my life because the "what could have been" haunted my every thought, it took me away from those I loved and brought me to me knees. Then, a year after the accident, I was sitting at a stop light, my life now in ruins when it came to me. like a beacon of light shining from the sky. it's not the "what could have been" where we find comfort and healing, its the "what was" where it lay.Remember those that were lost, do not morn those that survived, from the world would be a dark place if our thoughts dwelled on "what cold have been" my friend, as there is no end to the dark imagination that can bring.<br />may this message find you and Becky with the sincerity of friendship it is written with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300154269554077509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037225324590755303.post-86438197062208764442014-04-28T16:01:35.520-07:002014-04-28T16:01:35.520-07:00An interesting perspective.
