We are going way off the AT. A few thousand miles and about 23,000 feet higher
the the highest point of the AT.

On Everest your live is in danger, all the time.  When you die up there, thats
were your body will stay. NOVA's gripping science adventure "Everest--The
Death Zone," is also a good show. It was shown on PBS. 

I jush came back for seeing the IMAX "Everest" movie. If you have an IMAX
teather, in your city, it is great.
