    No, I recently read "Into Thin Air" and it just seems like madness to put yourself at that kind of risk. Stories of people climbing it do fascinate me though.

    No, I haven't been climbing mountains for years so it would be really stupid.

    Me too, not a chance. I read Into Thin Air last year and just couldn't get over how many lives can depend on one person making the right decision.

    Having just spent the last two hours freezing my tits off on the terraces fo Tolka Park? Probably not the best time to ask me...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
