3 Filipinas reach Mount Everest summit

[miLes]

oo nga eh, nowadays parang a walk-in-the-park na lang ata umaakyat dyan sa everest.

balita ko bago umakyat madami na nabibilhan ng gears sa downtown nepal to ensure your survival. baka nga pati mga tindero dun sa nepal, pababalik balik na dyan

ang dapat gawin ng Pinoy eh cross-country trek sa Antartica o kaya row-boating sa Devil's triangle (bermuda triangle) yan siguro, ma-catch attention ko

madali lang sa mga sherpas kasi taga dun sila pero para sating pinoy na sa lowlands lang nakatira di walk in the park yan. of the original everest team 2 palang nakakaakyat and these are athletes talaga, walang ginawa kungdi magtrain o umakyat, just shows how hard climbing everest is. true hundreds of people have climbed everest pero ilang percent lang ang umakyat dun na di nakatira sa 4 season countries?

congrats to Noelle, Janet, and Karina!

Congrats to our fellow Filipinos.
IMO pang mayaman lang yan. In 1996 several climbers managed to get
permit without completing climbing experience above 20K feet for a fee of
$60K*. Ayun! 12 perished including 2 experienced expedition leaders.

Malaking achievement na din ito para sa atin considering that a country with tropical climate like ours, conquering Everest is really something.

Too bad the timing, di gaano natutukan ng media coz of the election.

And to those 3 Pinays...Mabuhay po Kayo!

sirs.. news like this doesn't have to affect the nation. they're just news of someone's achievements after all, which may or may not be news worthy to you. pero wag naman natin masyado minamaliit ang mga achievements ng ibang tao. They might've easily ended up like these three:

Three Asians die on Everest

Congrats to our fellow Noypis.. Thanks for raising our flag.

bro di biro umakyat ng everest. you are battling snow, wind, exhaustion, pulmonary edema. you are risking your life. you have one foot in the grave basically. but climbing is not about fame or sanity. its about conquering yourself. its about discovering yourself, and discovering that there are things bigger than you.

of course, this is difficult to explain to people who have not climbed a mountain.

congrats to the 3 of them.

Yeah, it's a walk in the park since a staggering 2000+ people have summitted Everest out of the 6.5 billion people currently living. And oh, only 200+ persons died trying to summit it. A 10% death probability is all that's waiting for you up there.

Downtown Nepal is different from the summit of Mt. Everest. Climbing up to the Mt. Everst Base Camp is already a feat in itself - it is double elevation of Mt. Apo already and takes 10 days already.

You'll also need a few weeks acclimatizing there and going up and down the various base camps before trying to push for the summit for Base 4.

Dami talagang pessimist sa atin... an achievement is an achievement. If you don't have anything good to say about it then just don't post in here - we are not forcing you to like them but this is the THUMBS UP HQ - not the Pessimist Central Forum.

Tama. To think First SoutheastAsian Ladies--mga Pinay kababayan natin ang naunang maconquer to....do you think its not an achievement?

Saludo kami sa inyo!
