Edmund Hillary's ascent of Mount Everest was a testament to human achievement, my climb of Mount Everest in my shorts will be a monument to the frivolous, decadent nature of modern society.

Summit Mt Everest Death Zone Tested

ego skilled self-esteem
may summit Mt Everest
in heights rarified inflated...
feeling approach supremacy
climb into thin air past...

death zone 8000 metres
temperatures chill low level
frostbite extremities body parts...
exposed to contact ice air
snow shaded well-frozen...

deaths injury mistake slipping
falling stalks pounces high winds
threatens life diced changeable...
potential threat stalks climbers
baited breath altitude on Everest...

low atmospheric pressure
at summit alluring on Everest

I don't know what being an Everest guide means. I am a coach, not a guide.

If it is a shame to be the second man on Mount Everest, then I will have to live with this shame.

India, how to increase the Olympics medal tally

God of Games
who rides on chariots,
carriages and horses
that roar like thunder and
flash like heaven's lightnings

God of Sports
physiques lithe, muscular
and tough that can bounce over
the Himalayas and traverse Mount Everest
with the strength of Hanuman

it is time hindus adopt
a God of Sports, of Games
like the ancient greeks, romans
who will be be inspired to be
champion chariot riders,
premium swimmers braving the
treacherous Ganges and
sportsmen thumping up Everest

I have lots of other mountains that I would like to climb. I have no dream of Everest, but there are some, like Mount Fuji, I'd like to do.

People think that at the top there isn't much room. They tend to think of it as an Everest. My message is that there is tons of room at the top.

Which is right?

Mount Everest is in north,
An Indian will say.
It is in south, a Chinese will say.
Neither is correct to the one in the space.

Mt. Everest

I don't have to
Climb
Mount Everest
To feel on
Top of the
World.

I just have to
Pour myself
Into his mouth.

He makes me
Move the world.

There are two things I will never do in my life. I will never climb Mount Everest, and I will never work with Val Kilmer again. There isn't enough money in the world.

I am not sure the others are as committed as Rob Hall and Scott Fischer. I think there is more business now, and I know it will be impossible to stop this Everest business.

There is already a mountain of evidence that Saddam Hussein is gathering weapons for the purpose of using them. And adding additional information is like adding a foot to Mount Everest.

No, it is not remarkable that Everest did not yield to the first few attempts; indeed it would have been very surprising and not a little sad if it had, for that is not the way of great mountains.
