Yeah, its pretty hard work, and not particularly rewarding. Highest I have been is 19,000. That was bad enough. Rather do it on a ski lift these days. :)

I've never understood mountain climbing

On the other hand, I got interested in Mountain climbing though I have not done any real climb yet. It seems lot of fun (actually it is much better for you brain and mind then just your body), I do want to start with climbing Mount Hood this year or next.

That'll get you a frosty reception.

I've been to about 39000. But that was in a plane... :)

Everest holds the bodies of at least 200 climbers who have died in their attempts to scale the mountain, say experts. Well, thar's your problem right there. -Richard

I was at 15,000ft when I left the plane.

Because it's probably one of the hardest thing to do when you're into hiking/climbing. I think it's not the most "technical" climb that exists, but because of the height it makes it very difficult.

Watched code never compiles.

You deserve an ovation for your puns! All together now: #Freeze a jolly good fellow!...#
