Dammit! I knew it was a mistake to give those 223cm Atomic race room SuperGs to my brother, who never mounted them and they are still sitting in his basement in ATLANTA! Maybe I will rock the cow instead. Anybody got any 218 Kazamas lying around?
I boiled my thermometer, and sure enough, this spot, which purported to be two thousand feet higher than the locality of the hotel, turned out to be nine thousand feet LOWER. Thus the fact was clearly demonstrated that, ABOVE A CERTAIN POINT, THE HIGHER A POINT SEEMS TO BE, THE LOWER IT ACTUALLY IS. Our ascent itself was a great achievement, but this contribution to science was an inconceivably greater matter.
