Bass Doh Minute…(Only Two Minutes)
An Australian couple in their 40s took 22-day climb up a near-vertical Himalayan peak but it took them only 2 minutes to “fly” back to their base camp.
Obviously they also smashed all the previous world records for the highest BASE jump.
SMH reports:
Sydney couple Glenn Singleman and Heather Swan - both wearing sugar glider-style “wing suits” - launched themselves off a 6604-metre high precipice on Meru Peak in northern India.The pair looked like tiny rocks as they hurtled down the perfectly vertical eastern cliff face of Meru Peak, with their wing suits propelling them diagonally downwards at speeds approaching 200 kmh.
Their expedition was made up of six climbers and nine porters, who endured minus 20 degree temperatures as they inched their way as little as 50 metres a day up 80-degree ice slopes.
See you can do so much more with your two minutes, besides cooking Maggie Noodles.
We all have a right to express our views. In many instances; it will be against ours and in some; with us. To hear them out is 'decency' but to let them get to you is 'weakness'.
