if theres a mountenear reading this crect me if im rong as my knolige of the suject is'n't huge but i think that the finxing of the lines from rock fall to sumit is mainley due to the group sizes/ chermachel expodishions i belave that on most other mountons (offton technailey harder) the belay is done by simmil climbing with a 15-30m (may be less)line betwen climers i would think that some times large expodishions sepending an amount of time a pictuler mountin mey put fixed lines in some parts of the climbs or evan the whole way on acahion, i would continue with my opinyon of fixing of gear on everast but i wont because i dont know enuth about the suject but i will add that i dont think it would be um say moor complicated to run comerchal expodishens up the mountion.

as far as the events that haoppend on the mountin this year peopple die on mountions every year fore verious difrant reasions, i think everyone is entitle to there opinuion on aney sjuect and yes peopple should be alowed to coment on them in a sivle intalagent way as aposed to some of the other ways peopple explain there opinuions (ie. atacking, ect) i think peopple should also concider how what thay right or say wi be inturporated. also i belave that we should when reading what onather persons has riton who thay are there experionce and in theses cases if thay where there, we are salves need to rember that whilst intitle to are opinuion we may not know aney thing about the sjuect and even if we do you dont know how you would act in /handle a event/situation inless whe are salves where in that puctuler persons shews (or thoe we may have an ieader of how we would handle it (everyone does things difrontley))

i clame to know verey little about mountaniereing (or english) and i oppolagise fore my atroshes spelling and english (i am australian) i am by no means ocusing aney one of puting ther views across in bad ways or aney thing of the sort this is just a thort i have been having. (just to add that when i read a posting i check ones profile to see witch boxes thay have checked to get an ieader of what that person may knoe about the suject)
