He needs to get back in shop and push out the stand alone. I think they went over their release date by a bit...

So Rocket have reached the summit and come down safely.

That is good news! Apparently eight people have already lost their lives this year climbing that mountain.

What he did is an amazing feat but extremely dangerous.

If you really want see how dangerous Mount Everest really is, you can search "corpses Everest".

WARNING - You will see pictures of people that lost their lives there!!!!!

I knew that people that died on the mountain are left there, but to see the pictures, and to read some of their stories shocked me to the core.

Climbing Mount Everest is one of the biggest achievements of mankind (In regard to the level of hazard, physical exertion and emotional exertion.).

Interview with his hometown paper about the successful attempt.

And Potato Peeler I searched and its equally sad and amazing to see the bodies frozen in time on that mountain.

Just got the news today on the local dailies here that two of my countrymen who attempted Everest have not fared well. One died, the other critically ill. Pending evac. Prayers to them and their families.

It just goes to show, this is a major undertaking of enormous risk and no mean feat to have completed the ascent/descent successfully. Rocket can hold his head high to have braved this achievement.
