Hi guys,

I have a trip setup for 2015 to climb the NE Ridge route. Need two other climbers to pull it off. Land costs are about 24K/person.
If interested, send a pm and I will get back to you.

I read this year they were going to fix two ropes above camp IV to relieve congestion on most popular summit days. One was supposed to "up" and the other "down".

MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE

14ERS.COM COMMUNITY - If you could please take a moment and visit my Kickstarter page, I would be very thankful.

Me and several of my closest colleagues are in the final stages of development for a new, highly advanced High Altitude Escalator.

With a modest contribution of $22,500,000, we plan to deploy this system from the South Col to the top of the Hillary Step in time for the 2018 climbing season.

Sarcasm or not, it's not even funny to post something like this. Not at this time. Reported.

Is it gonna be solar-powered? If so... consider my contribution of $1.5 million on the way!
