But I have seen Everest Beyond The Limit.

Your F@cking mad, mate :)

As you can see from the above image, Everest Base Camp (the first one) is at 17'000 feet. I have never been much higer than 3000 feet (without a preasurised cabin), and that was enough to give me a headache. Also, AFAIK, it takes atleast a month to get to Everest base camp. 

I'm looking at a 17 day trek (which has a few acclimatisation days).

Previously been as high as 4200m during the Inca Trail but this will be another 1300m on top of that so the thin air is going to really kick in. 

You ARE a crazy person! ;)

To be honest, I can see the attraction of trekking round the Himalayas, or the Andes. Just for the beauty and the atmosphere of the experience.

I think voodoochopsticks has been trekking in Nepal, though it might've been closer to Annapurna.

I wasn't (that) close to Everest, but did I visit Nepal this June, so if you have any questions, shoot. 

I just had some about the trek itself rather than Nepal. thanks for the offer though.

Is VC on a current trek or did he do it before? 

It's a big deal, but not that big a deal, if that makes any sense. People rave about the scenery for sure. What sort of thing did you actually want to know? :) 

just difficulty level, type of trail etc 

Can't say I actually read it tho. 

A bigger penis allows for more mutilation! Shouldn't that make it interesting for you??? 

This is the kind of thing I would expect from the developer of Portal...

yeah that's pretty awesome. 

I've just done the Annapurna panorama, took me, my brother and my 62-year-old dad about 6-7 days of hiking I think. I would like to go back and do the circuit soon. I know next to nothing about Everest, but I can definitely recommend Pokhara and the area around Annapurna. 

It was in 2007 I think. 

that's cool! just really bending your mind in all kinds of fucked up ways.

the concept that it's actually creating new worlds instead of just linking back to your own... wild! 

I'm looking for a video editing package to edit videos for youtube, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations?

Don't need anything fancy, just the ability to stitch together video, perhaps add some text here and there, and overlay a separately recorded audio track.

I'm currently using avidemux 2.5 h.264 for encoding and it seems to be fine, but it can't do the basic editing I need :P
