Will Cross plans to climb all the 8000ers, starting with Lohtse this spring and Cho Oyu in fall 2008.
Cheers, dp
Reading the newpaper blurb, it looks like Will is only planning to go for 7 of the 8000-ers. The wuss.
Giant Mountain Challenge:
Everest
Lhotse
Gasherbrum 1 and 2
Broad Peak
Shisha Pangma
Cho Oyu
You are right Jeff, I forgot how many "8000ers" there are.... Not to pooh pooh this, but why not Annapurna, Nanga Parbat, Makalu, K2, Kachenjenga, and remind me of the others....It is a pretty smart idea, actually, avoiding those others!!
That's because he already ticked off ONE. But, it does seem like if you are truly serious about doin' 'em all, you'd put K2 into that first season and heck tick off some other Karakoram beasts while yer there....Sorta kinda joking.
