i want to climb everest. is this good practice? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKlYTn_m2cY

i saw that he carried two ropes though. i think so they'll be long enoug, one looked short. b/c he tied into a black rope, then when he got to the top the rope was yellow, Did he stop and tie the ropes together>? becaus they werent long enouhg? do they make them longer?

i saw that he clipped his rope to carabiners to catch him if he fell. i was a boyscout, so i pretty muych know all the knots, but i need to know which carabiners i need.

can someone just tell me what rope, and carabiners he used? if it worked for bear grills its enough for me

You are about three weeks late and several quick draws short of a sport rack.

Well, I'm no mechanic, but I think a carabiner mixes gas with hot air to make your big wheels go.
