#1 did he dump the oxygen tanks as well?

A couple of my adventuresome buddies have verbally masturbated about climbing everest and the only thing I can say is - what the f*ck for?

#3 Sherpa 'strips' atop Everest

Lakpa Tharke still has two lumps in his throat and a very high pitched voice.

But the climbs organizers seemed happy enough with Lakpa Thaekes strip.

We are planning to file his extraordinary feat for the Guinness Book of World Records, the paper quoted an official of the hiking group that employs Tharke as saying.

His team told expedition organisers of his world-topping strip on Wednesday by satellite telephone and said they had taken photographs of the shivering Sherpa.

"Lakpa Tharke Sherpa stood naked for about three minutes after reaching the summit on Wednesday," Ishwori Poudel, managing director of the Himalayan Guides Nepal Trek and Expeditions, told AFP.

#5 Heh, Seafarious.

Who will be the first to take a dump atop Mt Everest?

It would (will) be so, uh, symbolic.

#6 This is like a Polar Bear event - at the summit of Mount Everest.

Okay, so I'm bored.

#9 So - how are they going to punish this guy - throw him into a "chilly" prison cell?

In my book, if you make it to the summit of Everest, you are entitled to do anything you want - you write your own laws/rules at that pinnacle, because you are a population of one (or maybe a very small handful of seriously suffering people)
