kulpimssays...*long
siftbotsays...This video has been flagged as being at least 10 minutes in length - declared long by kulpims.
Ryjkyjsays...Great book.
EDDsays...A moving and very illuminating account. I don't think I will ever go mountain-climbing as long as there are cheaper, and a lot less riskier thrills than that.
siftbotsays...Moving this video to marinara's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
EDDsays...*promote - I hope some folks will take the time and listen to this terrifying tale. And then NOT go mountain-climbing.
siftbotsays...Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by EDD.

Trancecoachsays...*brain
Jon Krakauer has a book entitled Into Thin Air, which gives the compelling account of 8 climbers who were killed on Everest in 1996.
So much played into this tragedy that the elements of nature were playing a secondary role.
(Krakauer's newer book, btw, details the events that lead up to the friendly fire that killed Pat Tillman, and the subsequent coverup that the DoD attempted to implement in response.)
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Brain) - requested by Trancecoach.
