Hi everyone, just checking in from Hong Kong where I am for a coupleof days on a corporate job. Further to the view about CO climbing - I think it's an excellent place to acclimatise for the bigger peaks. SInce most walk ins take you to a basecamp in the 4500 - 5200m range, climbing 14000ers inCO must be good for building a foundation . Of course, above basecamp, youwould be about as acclimatised (albeit with a better foundation ) as the rest of a team.
Lots of interesting ( andboring ) action on the Big Hill this year. I was kinda interested in keepingtrack with a few friends on the Hill, sincenot a huge deal ofnew stuff happening. Interesting to note that after 8 years from the 96 tragedy EV and Db are back on top ( literally ).Looks like it's tough to stay away!
BBob: I dont know about a 3rd book, but probably notfor quite a longwhile , and more to do with corporate stuff than a pure adventure narrative
Cheerio
