Old Bags on Everest

“I heard on the radio that five women are attempting to be the first all female team to climb Everest. From the description of the group I don't think they will make basecamp #1. Oh well, more money than brains...”

“LOL

I thought this would be a "Recovered Sleeping Bags From Mt.Everest For Sale" thread.”

“I just hope they aren't each strapped to two Sherpas who are dragging them to the summit ala the woman in "Into Thin Air". That was a desacration of the mountain.”

“Maybe Disney could start an amusement park in the top of Everest.”

“Dragging.....hmmmmm
How about an "All Drag Queen" expedition?”

“Bacpac could lead it!”

“I think its great that this group is going to do the climb. They are all experienced climbers who are in great shape.

Lets just face the facts...you all are just jealous that they are going and you'll never go.

I for one, applaude them and will cheer them on each step of the way...Women rule...take that vagina to the top of the world and show all the limp #&%!$' who's boss.”

“Just so they pick up after themselves.”

“but why should they...no one else does...all that trash is left back up on the mtn. sux!”

“i bet if they saw this thread, they'd save those pesky tampons especially to mail to bacpac when they got home! ;-) ha!!

but seriously, i think if i were to go to the top of the world, i'd just leave mine at home, LMAO!! so, we can write vagina but not pen is. verrrrry interesting.”

“If they fail they will blame it on men anyway.”

“Peak bagging has no appeal to me. I prefer trees, creeks and wildlife.”

“I have never understood why people peak bag anyway. Mountain peaks are beautiful, why would you want to put a bag over them?

And who makes bags that big anyway?”

“Doubly happy, however, is the (wo)man to whom lofty mountain-tops are within reach.

--John Muir”

“As long as they don't blame it on liberals.”

“#&%!$ #&%!$ #&%!$...nope you can't type #&%!$, but you can type vagina. Ha!!!”

“I think it's great they're trying. I'm wishing them luck.”

“Those women certainly have more guts than most. I hope they have great success.”

“Once they're up there...maybe they can sweep up. :o)

"ducks"

I admire them for attempting.”

“One of them is from Washington, she is a cancer survivor. She was preparing to do this 5 years ago when diagnosed with breast cancer. She's made a full recovery and is resuming her quest. Oh, she's also 58 years old!

Another one has climbed the highest peak on 6 different continents, so I doubt she'll have to be pulled up by a sherpa.”

“Well, I'm glad to hear that these aren't just bored yuppies looking for the next cool vacation. I am all for them making it if they do it right.”

“does anyone know if there will be a web site that will follow the ladies, and if so, I think Matt should set up a link on the site so that we can follow along and send all our good Kharma their way.”

“Good for them I hope they make it!

By the way that would be one big bag!!!!

8)”

“double bag.”

“LMAO!!!

8)

How big would it be?”

“ha ha ha! that's funny bacpac. I thought this thread was about abandoned gear”

“"Pissing through 6 inches of clothes with a 3 inch penis"
- Anonymous Everest summiteer when asked what was the hardest thing about climbing Mt Everest

Guess they won't have that problem.”

Felix”

“felix, learn to post a link..

I got a hundred bucks that says these skeezers are going home with frost bitten nipples and no prize for trying.

Who wants to cover my bet?”

“It sounds like they have a shot, I wish them the best of luck...

I hope the made for TV movie is on network tv, and not lifetime... I HATE THE CHICK CHANNEL! "Sexist Television for Women"”

“I would say that if they had a Breshears or equivalent as a guide, and an army of Sherpas, they would stand as good a chance as anyone.”

“They won't make it if they stop for directions every 100 feet.

Unless someone tells them the souvenir shop on the summit is having a sale.”

“your on...I'll take that bet. Vagina'a rule...and your gonna suck sour puss when this is all over. LOL!!! hahaha.”

“so, I guess they didn't make it. I'm surprised you're not gloating bacsnack”

“I thought they were to be an all-women team. Now, I'm reading reports that they were being guided by a male. That just doesn't sound right.”

“There probably aren't that many women sherpas.”

“Aww shucks...I was hoping they would make it. No shame...some healthier, younger etc. teams don't make it either.”

“Didn't a blind guy make it last year?”

“And a 64 year old man and a 14 year old boy?”

“Gotta have at least one male.

Who else can they blame everything on?”

“I don't want to gloat, but I want the hundred bucks that stikmon owes me.”

“It turns out that the group consisted of 11 men. Two guides, eight sherpas, and one photographer. Now, how many women were supposedly on this trip?”

“Hey Phil,

Is this guy affiliated with your troop? Jeff's Everest
Attempt

Heard he's from troop 73 here in Orange County.”

“The five woman team was part of a larger IMG led expedition. They made it to Camp 4 and from there made an attempt but the weather and health went bad on them last week and they started down. A husband and wife Phil and Susan Eshler summited last week.(also part and guides for IMG if I read right. After reading Krakour(sp.) and A. Boukreeves(Sp.)books its quite a feat for climbers just to make camp 4 +. Glad to be just a backpacker.”

“Me too Jvz.

I have no desire to summit Everest. I wouldn't mind hiking it though.”

“I would like to summit Everest...but I need serious time and money. Plus I've got to lose some fat.”

“stickmon needs to loose some green.”

“On the Discovery Channel website it stated that 54 people summited three days before the summit bid by these women. 54 is a record for the number of people to summit in one day.”

“Yeah, it's getting to be Disneyland up there.”
