#rapiddescent

#RapidAscent / #RapidDescent. Patience is everything in finding a window to summit #MountEverest. We waited to hit the sweet spot of warm and windless. It was a tough to wait. We watched teams push into dubious weather, return battered, frostbitten, and summitless, while others returned victorious. The failures justified our decisions but the successes made it more difficult to wait (despite us being happy for them). We stayed low, resting, watching the winds rake the upper #NortheastRidge. When the wind barbs on the meteogram became confused and dropped off the steady southwest flow it was time to #climb. Our window came later than expected, but I can't complain. 25 days after @brooks.entwistle arrived we were standing on the highest point on Earth! We summited 5/27/2017 and descended to #EverestABC the same day. We rested, packed, congratulated our Sherpa team and the #EverestNoFilter crew, and took off for Base Camp this morning. 12 hours ago we were at 21,000', now we're at 14,000' in the middle of #Tibet and in 12 more hours we'll be back at 29,035' - seated in an air plane! @alpenglowexpeditions #AdventureDoneRight #Everest2017 #Everest (at Mount Everest)

...I was going to post excerpts, but they are TOO DORKY FOR WORDS.

Well, since I start classes by saying, "Hello, Mortals", I often have to add that any gods that are present are clearly trying to pass for mortal and it would be rude of me to expose their deception.  (Engineers will argue anything)  So, they'll have to keep away from the horses as long as they are pretending to be mortal.

Eeee, Bagot! Fun times. 

So, 19-year-old Runey’s imaginary Tumblr would have been fannish flailing over bands such as Children of Bodom and Nightwish, and fannish flailing over shows such Fullmetal Alchemist and Death Note, and an endless barrage of kitten snapshots.

(I've only seen a couple of episodes of The Borgias so unfortunately I can't comment but lots of people in that are v pretty too so I suppose that's a good start)
