Thought this was pretty interesting, there are 4 women all coming close to becoming the first woman to have climbed all 14 of the 8000+ metre mountains on Earth!

Who wants to climb the total distance of all 14 over 14 days at Redpoint!

Alaina if 18 men have done it compared to 4 women does that mean men are 4.5 times better than women?

Actually no women have done it yet.. they're just the 4 women that are fighting to do it first.
But NO Mike obv the world's women have more important things to concentrate on like childbirth and the washing up.
Sometimes I wonder why women are allowed to vote.... AHH!!!

Yes, there is a lot of women-dissing... surprisingly, especially by mike gadd who doesn't seem to be able to survive without them.... ALL of them...

I imagine it'll make pretty big news on ukc etc when one of them gets it, and fingers crossed that won't be too long away as long as conditions are relatively good
