Jup the King of the Hill just went a little bit higher.
Much has changed since he and Tenzing were the first on the Everest. Like dumping your trash is heavily checked, you can make a phone call when your on the top and not getting to the top is important anymore, but how many clothes you wear, which route for what amount of cash and who you leave behind.

While I haven’t found the French bastard yet, I’m happy to share some of the spam I met on the way… Enjoy!
