Here's a report from Scientific American that many of you may use to explain my behavior!
"Climbing Mount Everest is not so difficult; the hard part is getting down intact. According to a recent brain imaging study, almost no one does. Of thirteen climbers in the study who attempted Mount Everest, none returned without brain damage. The study also scanned the brains of climbers who attempted less extreme summits. For those of us who love to climb, the results are less than elevating. It seems that almost no one, whether the weekend warrior chaperoned to the summit or the seasoned mountaineer, will return from the high peaks with a brain in the same condition it was in beforehand."
(My highest is 13,000 so that doesn't include me ... who? You talking to me?)
For those of you interested in climbing/mountaineering, HERE'S the complete article.
Duh.... which way did those Iranians go?
