    I'll always remember my expedition back in '97 with the (now legendary) Ken 'Eddie' Kennedy of the Downtown Nepal crew. We left camp 4 at about 10pm and made it as far as the Zabriskie Doormat. Then the weather suddenly worsened. At that time you couldn't use online weather radars. We ground to a halt and it took another hour to make it to the middle of Sumner's Handbasket, which was one of the most icy points. By that point, and without the benefit of a piste map or any salt buckets, we decided it was best to turn back.
    There would be no summits that day. But one thing's for sure, being in places I'd only ever heard about, was definitely something to think about. And I still do, to this day. RIP Kenny boy. You're the man.

      @@gopr3117 Sherpas are generally paid 125-150 USD a day, in a year perhaps they can work for around 50-60 days (some are less) which make their annual income to around 5.000-6.500 USD. Not that much for risking your life to be honest, but considering average income in Nepal is around 900 USD a year, yea they have a better earning than rest of the Nepalese.
