Too Hot! On the Summit! Feels Good!!

January 18th, 2008 Wade

Holy Crap!

That’s what I said, out loud, when I saw the story about this on the Backcountry Blog. Apparently a group of climbers decided they’d take the equipment up to the summit of 15,771 foot Mont Blanc on the border of Italy and France. Part of me wants to say… “Dude I’m so jealous.” And another part of me thinks I’d be pissed off if I spent all night and morning working my arse off to get to the summit and these guys were partying when I got there. But you definitely have to give them points for creativity. And judging from the pics over at their site, this was no easy feat. Thinking about the logistics of it is actually a little fun. If you can ignore the fact that they were kinda missing the point of mountaineering. :)

    I dig it, someone thinking outside the box of normalcy. I was thinking the other day, people don’t spend enough time at the summit anyways! Blowsnow, that Eddie Murphy skit is hilarious. “Too hot in the hottub! Gonna make me sweat! AHH! Good God!”
