Good job to the Air Force team ! And a screw you to the hypocrites who
bagged on Everest before their heros topped out!

It is not clear at all, to me, that these guys are what would be called traditional mountaineers. More like Dick Bass.
That's one of the more idiotic statements, (on several levels)I've seen in a while.
What's a "traditional" mountaineer anyway?
TGT, as usual, you simply whine and spew, but don't make a coherent argument (or ANY argument)
I'm not for attacking people who hire guides to climb a mountain, as long as they have put in the skill and experience training that is needed.
Others feel that they need to be more "pure", with a life-long resume, and anybody else are just tourists and not to be taken seriously.
But they don't attack amateur climbers, if they are Air Force. Hmmmm.

Ken M, if I were you I wouldn't be making comments about others' lack of
coherent arguments. Or were you just giving us a good example?

I'll bet that the Boyz flying out from Lukla didn't do it in an altitude-challenged and overloaded Dehavilland Otter!
