I do have the IGx logo printed on a sheet of photo paper. It will fit in my backpack where the bladder of water is supposed to go. They do not want you to bring a water bladder /cuz the tubes freeze. Even insulated tubes. So I'll put the logo there in a manila envelope.

Do you realize how much extra weight I'm carrying for you guys?

I propose to struggle half way up the highest mountain on earth under the crushing weight of a replica of this forum's logo, and that's the thanks I get? I feel as if my sacrifices go unheralded.

Sorry...it's cold here. Have you written anything lately that I can burn to stay warm?

Eating the IGx logo-ed paper would have a similar effect to Popeye eating spinach. Use this power wisely.

Of coarse. I may be an ass, but I'm a wise ass.

I do have the IGx logo in my pack.

In Dingbche, about 14,250 feet, for a "rest" day. We climed about 1200 feet this morning and then came down. That's acclimatization. Climb high, sleep low. So I've been to 15,500 feet. A personal altitude record. Highest point will be 18,500 foot high Kala Pitar. Then down to base camp at 17,500. I'm feeling good at this point.

Fat Cat is looking like a long shot at this point. Stay safe Timmay.
I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.
