See if you can find camp 3 on the Lhotse face and the line of climbers going to and from it. B-)

It gives one a new appreciation for the dangers of climbing. Wow that ice looks like it could go at any second. All of it. Dangerous as f**k.

For those of you who decide to take Showboat up and find the camp, use this. Makes it a lot easier to find.

Fascinating.

For those interested in Everest and haven't watched the Discovery series "Everest: Beyond the Limit" I recommend it. It's on Netflix
