a ghost town, where our prodigy (prodigal?) is free to riff.
I finally viewed Everest: Beyond the Limit, season 1. I ended
up watching five episodes pretty much nonstop--most of
the characters were not that sympathetic, but it was fascinating
to see a camera crew film two men trying to throw their lives away.
Absolutely appalling the number of "climbers" (they were NOT) going for
the summit. Season 2 isn't on instant view yet at Netflix, so I haven't
seen it. I think Russell Brice switched his operation to the south side
because of the unlimited permits on the north.
I think the documentary was quite sympathetic to Brice, but it
was interesting to see the lessons he (probably) took from 1996,
a radio and Sherpa for every client--maybe he read Outside Online
and took advice from Rose?
