Into Thin Air.

If you have read the book or seen the movie, you'll see the mounting problems climbing Everest. Big crowds and inexperienced climbers who have no reason to try it.

Recently, a free climber, one who climbs rocks without ropes, fell to his death in a canyon near here.

I have become more risk adverse as I get older. Perhaps the most dangerous thing I used to do was going into really old mines. But it wasn't for fun, it was work or school.

No way I would climb into that can and go two miles down. Even if it managed to surface, the crew could not open the door from the inside.
