re: Are people who climb Mt. Everest egomaniacs?

Some may know from the other thread I spent 25 years of my life mountaineering and summited Everest, Broad Peak, Cho Oyu, Annapurna and a host of lower peaks around the world. I dunno if I am an egomaniac, my wife may think so, but I spent my life doing things I wanted to do that just happen to make for interesting cocktail party stories. I am about to go on a posting spree so feel free to skip them they may have an OweO feel to them.

There's a Louisiana state flag stuck in the mountain near the peak that a Uhigh graduate put there in 2010.

There was. The flags everyone leaves don't make it past July at the longest, 100 plus days of hurricane force winds will see to that.
