That's interesting. My 70-year-old wife is planning joining a
tour/expedition to Nepal to see a snow leopard in the wild. She is
talking 18,000 ft also. (She's mad).


Is your other wife older or younger? ;-)

Her thoughts are presently to take her Canon G12.

I hope she has plans to properly acclimate to the altitude. I live at
4500 ft and doing much above about 10,000 is taxing.

Just standing on a step ladder puts me above sea level.

In Florida, standing on a step ladder will probably bring your eye brows
up to sea level.


Did you mean to say that Floridians have a problem getting high.

I mean they have no problem seeing the curvature of the Earth.

IIRC They have a facility there, not to far from Tony Cooper, that used
to send qualified people to where they can.

Per Tony Cooper:
The truth is that I exaggerated. I am 84 feet above sea level at my
house.

Ocean City NJ, where my daughter and son-in-law live, is 3 or 6 feet
above sea level - depending on what source you look at.

Within five to 10 years, they will need a houseboat, and Tony Cooper may
have beach front property.

Um, not so fast. The current rate of sea level rise is about 3 mm per year.

And from what I've heard, increasing exponentially.

I thought of that too. I have a friend' who in absolute perfect health and
at one time canoed across northern North America, was climbing in the
Himalayas. When they got to 18,000 feet she reacted to the loss of oxygen.
There were 2 doctors in the party who spent the night getting her down to
10,000 feet. She missed out on a lot of the plant hunting. She had to stay
down while the rest of the party spent a could part of the time at higher
elevations.

I hope this lady does some investigation as to her lung capacity before she
goes.

I totally suspected 'twas a wisecrack, but it's kind of
like a checkers .. see a jump you have to take it ..
kind of thing.
