Everest: Beyond The Limit

Does anyone else watch this?

So far the season hasn't been quite as compelling as last season, but it is really picking up.

i've only seen one episode (where they picked their summit team)

but i added it to the tivo, so i hope to catch more of it.

I've been watching it sporadically -- I missed last week. I see the woman (Betsy?) is off the team -- is anyone else?

I just can't get over how any people are on the mountain.

She had never climbed, what was she doing there in the first place? Geeze.

Everyone else seems to be a go, but Mogens seems to be doing worse this year than he did last year. Tim is in the first group though.

And it seems to be a pretty typical year, about 200 some folks trying to crowd up there in a couple days time.

David Tait is nuts though, trying to do a double traverse.

I like how the previews try to heighten the drama. Does it sound like Tim is going to start talking back again. And David is doubly nuts -- no ropes on the south side and a sherpa who doesn't know the route? Criminy.

I have a thing for Ice Road Truckers. Did you see that series?
