A culmination of stupendicity.
Skyscrapers that make man's efforts seem like Legos.
There are few men to match those mountains.
Thank you, donini.

Welcome back Jim. Well done to you George and your 55 year old sidekick (Englebach?) for getting to 6000 meters.
Many of us were following news of the evolving Kyle/Scott tragedy here.
