Just saw this over at besthike.com’s blog…

“Former SNL funnyman Chris Elliot has just published a new book called “Into Hot Air: Mounting Mount Everest,” a send-up of Outside Editor at Large Jon Krakauer’s famous work of nearly the same name.

Well there goes my idea… the “Naked Gun” of the climbing world. Guess I’ll have to go to plan B… “Up Shite Creek” a paddling story for people with incontinence issues.
