HIGHER and HIGHER: CHAPTER VIII

EVEREST: THE HIGHEST PLACE ON EARTH

Summary:
Eager to fulfill their mission and finally grasp what they’d been seeking, the Haier Brothers make the final push towards Mt. Everest,. But was Everest going to cooperate and offer its inspiration? Suddenly, the Haier Brothers are faced with this most difficult question.




Chapter VIII FAQ:

How high is Everest?
The peak is 8,850 meters or 29,035 feet. It's high.

Are they really going to build a hotel at Everest Base Camp?
The word via the media is yes, however such plans are not official, official. The last official line we've heard is, while there exists no plan, the option is open.

What was Seabass eating?
A dried lamb's leg. It was really good, tasted like buttery jerky.

The pancakes good?
Awesome.

Are you two concerned about the environmental impact of the road to Everest?
Of course, however, we're not so hypocritical to poo-poo the project outright. The idea is politically contentious in some camps, regarding Tibetan autonomy and the environment. But, sometimes letting the world have better, and safer, access to nature's wonders sows the idea that we must take care of them, and everything between them for that matter. Nature's own beauty is its best advocate. Seabass and I are from Washington state in the U.S. We love Mt. Rainier. We have climbed it. The road to the mountain was integral to us visiting the summit; and climbing the summit further solidified our belief that we must care for our earth. By doing so, earth, in it's most natural way, will take care of us.

Did you guys really ride to the peak of Everest?
To know that, you'll have to wait for the sequel.
