• Gambling On the Edge of Mount Everest on worldrecordsacademy.org ›

    Some hardcore gamblers couldn't resist one last bet before scaling the remainder of Mount Everest…. These guys took the time off climbing to place a bet on the Lakers playoff game - the world record - a bet they won! In phoning in their verified bet to BetOnline.com the climbers set the World's Record for Highest Land Wager ever! At 26,000 Feet! (oh, and they climbed Everest as well) Now that's hardcore!!

  • Crazy Avalanche On Mount Everest

    CRAZY Avalanche - May 2nd 2009. Luckily nobody was killed. Unfortunately another avalanche yesterday killed a Sherpa from a team of climbers going up the mountain. Just goes to show how dangerous Everest is. Check out some photos of a climb here … Should people still keep climbing Everest? Or has it been done?
