    Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

    For those keeping score at home that’s 15 hours up, 8.5 hours down, 3300 meters elevation gain, no supplemental oxygen. The typical ascent of Manaslu by climbers using oxygen takes four days. Respect
    I'd say so!

    pretty sure most, if not all, skiing above 4500 m is 'bad' skiing.....

    Bohm is a beast, glad to hear one success story from himalayas after a pretty tragic year
