From Bob McCarty Writes:
Wired reports that climbers on Mount Everest’s south side are surreptitiously blogging a standoff with Nepalese soldiers ahead of China’s Olympic torch run on the opposite side of the mountain next week. More incredibly, the magazine reports, one blogger “saw lots of military staff and one solider carrying a very sophisticated sniper type of gun.”
What exactly, one must ask, is the role of a soldier with a sniper gun? My guess, erring on the naive side, is that he’s a member of the Chinese biathlon team simply hoping to partake in some high-altitude practice shooting prior to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
