he'll be going for a short runway up everest

most dangerous runway in the world apparently User Posted Link at the end of the day good luck to him up to him. i really don't get the whole everest thing it seems to be a bit of a f**k you to the environment and it doesn't sit well ethically. not saying webber will be exploiting the locals and getting them to lug all his kit up there but nepalese sherpas make 3-7000 quid a season and the equivalent skilled western mountain guides make around 50,000 quid a season. who knows maybe his charity is also helping the sherpas.

- Not sure I get all the hate it’s primarily to advertise the charity … (NCFC) - loz, Apr 23, 07:32:35
  - If he wanted to do it to help local kids why not the CSF? (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 23, 08:12:47
    - Maybe because he envisages his Summit Foundation as a longer term endeavour than his stay (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Apr 23, 08:26:00

        So? (NCFC) - CWC, Apr 23, 09:23:22
        
        Not the issue. My point is that the fact he’s doing it for charity shouldn’t (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 23, 09:31:07
        
        They have said money raised will be for local community … (NCFC) - loz, Apr 23, 10:11:31

        Nothing if that’s what he wants to do. He should f**k off and do it (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 23, 09:28:57
