OTOTOT Steven, I was in Tibet last July, trekking near the base camp of Mt Everest. Never used an oxygen tank, but at times was light-headed and "floating"....I had Krakauer's book in my backpack. Ibexx

Steven, Yes, I like this thread, a lot of hard data, a bit of chatter and a lot of "committed knowledge base".... Although I would have to ask some of the QCOM old-timers, does G feel a bit riskier than Q did at this juncture?? Re '96 Everest, like I said a lot of issues going on here. Mountaineering, especially very high altitude climbing like Everest, etc., brings out many emotions and actions in people. They may say one thing sitting in their arm chair but react totally differently "on the mountain". I don't remember what Krakauer said about Anatoli (I suppose I should read again) but I do remember K* slipping away. Climbing is a team sport, but they do teach you to cut your losses quickly, sometimes too quickly. Booukreev was simply a stunning climber, similar to Messner, Ed Viesturs, and Ang Rita...
