Science Abuse Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 http://www.mounteverest.net/story/TomCruisetoclimbEverestAug252004.shtml Sad shit is, if his heart and lungs dont fail, he might actualy make it. At least we can be garaunteed that he'll have a solid 6-7 weeks of shitty existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted June 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Originally posted by 151: Tom cruise is one creepy motherfucker.+1 Though all accounts point to him being a nice dude. I just dont like the fact that he's just jumping into it. Never summited anything before, and he wants to start with everest. It's getting to be a tourist destination for the super rich. $60,000 gets you a guided trip up, with no garauntees, anyways. He's got enough money to stay there till the weather favors him. Personaly, I wouldn't want him on my team, No matter how nice he is. Inexperience is a liability. Originally posted by Mowgli: 10% fatality rate on Mount Everest climbers - that still true? Odds are with him.thats one in ten dead. I garauntee his climbing party will be over 10 people untill the home stretch. Ad in the sherpa's that will be carrying his crap, you're looking at well over 100. All of them have experience, odds what now? smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli1647545497 Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 I'd want him on my summit team. He could afford the helocopter to fly in and fly me down for eggs and toast at the base camp every morn. With jelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 'sides, movie stars don't rent cheap ass Russian leftover helos. You get what you pay for. We'll rent a big good ol Sikorsky with leather seats and a titty bar built in and bring John Travolta along as a spare pilot. And grey poupon for the wheat toast. BTW - someone tried to tell me that helos can't even fly to the top of Everest, which is complete horseshit. 29,000ft is nothing for modern helos. Well, US and Euro helos... Who'm I kiddin- I won't be joining the Cruiser on the ride to the top. I'll be too busy nailing Nicole Kidman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, US and Euro helos... There is a difference between flying to 29,000 and landing at 29,000. You need control to do it, and previous choppers could barely run at that altitude. This new one actualy has a margin of error up there. http://www.explorersweb.com/sitemedia/images/everest/20050608xchopper1.jpghttp://www.explorersweb.com/sitemedia/images/everest/20050608xchopper8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
