It's mid-May and for outdoor adventurer fans that means one thing: thanks to major weather pattern shifts, the tiny window of opportunity for climbing Mt. Everest is upon us. The first to summit this year looks to be a team from Mexico and Canada, planning to hit the top on Sunday morning. Of course, summiting Everest is a dangerous endeavor, and the crowds on the trail can often lead to disaster. In other mt. climbing news, the north face of the Eiger is unclimbable this year.

HOWTO: Find Mt. Everest from Space


HOWTO: Find Mt. Everest from Space 01/22/2004 02:03 PM
Mt. Everest, the tallest and most famous mountain of our planet, exhales a fascination which goes up all the way to the ISS.  That's easy to believe after taking a peek at this spectacular shot. However, that doesn't mean finding Everest in an easy task. To quote NASA: Space is a good place to ponder the world's extremes and nature's variability. For example, photographing the highest point on the planet is a favorite target (and a long-standing challenge) for astronauts orbiting the Earth. Despite Everest's planetary stature, it is not an easy peak to locate while zipping over the mountains at 7 kilometers per second. Luckily for us, the nice folks at JPL have made a step-by-step tutorial on finding Mt. Everest from space. Now, where do I sign up for those tickets?

Wall climbing spybot = $14,000


Wall climbing spybot = $14,000 06/04/2004 12:09 PM
spybot This $14,000 wireless spycam purportedly climbs all sorts of vertical surfaces. I wish I could see a video of it in action.
"A revolutionary, new remote controlled (R/C) robot. The SpyBot Climber easily scales many smooth and uneven vertical surfaces – wall board, plaster, brick, cinder block, and siding are negotiable for this versatile robot. It can even go across sturdy ceilings if placed there first – although it can transition from a horizontal (ground) surface to a vertical one, and back, it can not go from a vertical to an inverted surface or directly around corners unassisted."

SpyBot Wall Climbing Camera Bot 06/03/2004 03:11 PM

spybot_climber.jpg imageOkay, if you're not a filthy pervert, skip to the last paragraph. Thanks.

So what I need from you is $14k. I know it sounds like a lot, but if you cough it up I can get you one of these SpyBot Climber R/C robots that traverse and adhere to all sorts of surfaces, like the brickwork on that building across the street and you'll be able to wireless transmit images from the apartment of your 100% authentic girlfriend. Sure, you haven't talked to her yet, but with after reconnoitering her place for a while you'll be able to finally break the ice with openers like, "Hey, I'm out of toilet paper, too!" Okay, now go away.

For everybody else, isn't creepy how much this looks like a normal device, like a service box or something? Except most gas meters don't crawl up the side of buildings, at least not during the day. I wonder if the 'patented technology' allows it to stay in place even when the battery runs out? It better for $14,000.
