considering a permit for a team of 7-10 climbers cost $70,000 usd or if you are solo it has a $25,000 price tag in one of the poorest countries in the world -
you think it would be possible for the govt to actually put a little of that back into cleaning up the place.
the pic of the 200 climbers above is just pathetic i reckon. as the old saying goes when people see a queue thay love getting in it for some reason
Mr Hall's story is nuts hey!?
I think Annapurna would be a good option. Far less traffic, and still over 8,000.
They have landed a chopper on top of Everest. Some crazy french dude (i think french) piloted it and made two landings.
Yes it is possible but with a near empty chopper I guess! Few years ago they did a few altitude test with choppers and they had just enough fuel on board to do the climb to max altitude, when the engine was shutting down they would then fly back on auto rotation.
Hey Dins I couldnt the bit where they talk about a stripped down version of the chopper, the first link said it was a standard chopper.
yes Dins.... chopper "wings" are strange acting wings..... if you look closely at them they have a twist in them, also they limit the speed of choppersas they travel at different air speed in relation to where they are positioned, fast choppers have been trailed and the limit was reached by the the wing going close to sound speed!
Sorry to keep it off topic but helicopter physics are something else!
there is a cool channel on youtube which runs a series on about how they work, check it out if your interested :)
I think global warming and rising sea level may help a bit...
peak will be a few meters lower
