Altitude warning for Everest climbers

Written by admin

Is this, or isn’t it the most stupid news ever. NEWSFLASH”Climbers on Everest need to be aware of Altitude Illness”. Oh come on.

From ITV News: Altitude warning for Everest climbers

Climbers embarking on a bid to scale Mount Everest must be prepared about altitude sickness, a doctor has warned.

Andrew Sutherland of the Nuffield Department of Surgery in Oxford, England has himself climbed the world’s highest mountain.

In other news…… Ran Fiennes is attempting the Eiger North Face at age 60+ for Cancer Fundraising. With Guide Kenton Cool he’s off training in Grindlewald at the moment.

He’s a guy I’d like to meet!
