            umm, either I'm stuck in the land of dumb blondes, or have got a perpetual brain freeze, but I thought Everest was higher than 2000 flights...

            I can't check because this kiosk has downloads disabled and I've lost my original worksheet in the snowdrifts months ago.

            Someone please tell me, just how high the mountain is because I'm still climbing and would like to know where I am if I'm not still on Everest...




            P.S. Congrats to everyone on your recent summit achievements!!!!

              everest is 3871 flights.
              i'm the dumb one. i read your post that you were at the top and the guy was throwing snowballs at you.

              tell ya what, i'm going to take care of the celebration thread and we'll do that again when the time comes. we'll probably have a whole new group of peeps by then.

              so sorry for the mix up. wasn't my first, won't be my last unless of course i'm banned 2 minutes after i click submit.

                      Thankyou so much jimmie
                      Nov & Dec are always the busiest ever at work, but I have a few days off atm so I went for some climbs lol

                      gosh all those flags do look so pretty all next to each other lined up like that (it isn't any of those 4 - but it does have a tiny union jack and it does have stars too - southern ones, from Australia) *teehee*

                            Yes, well worth celebrating outside the challenge. Everest is truly an awesome accomplishment. Something to be very proud of.
