Honestly , I’m not taking the piss here , but they’re are technically harder winter climbs in Europe than in Nepal. Mont Blanc is a proper legit achievement 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mont Blanc is a proper legit achievement I know,but its Everest that's captured the imagination of most climbers,i think Mont Blanc only costs a few grand theres 20 thousand a year summit it?Sure I heard that figure in the past? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,464 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 I had the chance to go to Mont Blanc bout two years back but I went to Kilimanjaro instead. Funds just weren’t there for them both. Same story for base camp. As mentioned a very good mate is up there now and I’ve seen a few more lads be there and higher last few expeds. Work wise and financially I’m tied up for three years , after that though I’ll get up it . Although I fancy mount McKinley first Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was doing a little job in Frankfurt once.....anyway, I had to meet a Dutch bloke who I had never met before. So anyway, we meet and introduce ourselves and I say “come on mate, I’ll buy you lunch” We sit down and his opening line is “I had a mental breakdown and was in a mental institution !!” ..........obviously it’s takes me a split second and I go “oh....nice....ok then” and move the conversation on. We go off after lunch and do what we have to do......I head back to my hotel about 7 and he is only staying in the same f***ing hotel !! So he rinses me for dinner too and we are having a drink at the bar and he says “I went to the Far East to discover where my mum was in the war.......I have a couple of pictures” I say “Oh nice” thinking he will get the phone out and show me 2 or 3 snaps........ ”Wait there” says the Dutchman and heads for the door........2 minutes later he is back carrying 3 f***ing great carrier bags......now, what’s in them I can hear you asking yourself? Well I’ll tell you.......f***ing photo albums !! Loads of the f***ing things.......freighted to the eyeballs with pictures of palm trees and geckos !!......hundreds and hundreds of the f***ing things. All f***ing night he had me at the bar going through the holiday snaps.......I had no choice but to get totally and utterly pissed or I’d have murdered him!! Now.......where’s this story going I hear you wonder........ Well, if you do a write up of you climbing up that f***ing hill I am booking a flight to the Hague and asking him if he still has those holiday photos and could I have another look !
