It is considered one of the easiest 7,000 m peaks in the world to climb and it has by far the most ascents of any 7,000 m or higher peak on Earth, with every year seeing hundre... (more) |

How to straighten a bent tent pole During a storm one of my tent poles that used to be straight, became bent. Is there a way to straighten the pole again? Or is it a bad idea to try straightening the pole because is would likely snap anyhow and is replacing the pole the way to go? (There is already a question about finding replacement... (more) |
