Not fun as such but operating in the zone of achieving one’s full potential. It all boils down to the theory – Maslow’s Hierachy of needs. Once the basic needs of food, security, shelter, love etc have being attained a human generally needs more motivation – these guys are climbing those mountains because they are operating in the Self actualisation zone. They are taking themselves to achieve what they set out to do.

It is the same mentality that has made the whites find solutions to problems and thus keep developing. Some people would have thought it was dangerous to explore the deep oceans but the whites have been able to lay cables down there, this is why we have the internet worldwide and we're able ro communicate via nairaland.

Hihihihi...okay.. I got your point


Your mates were exhibiting youthful exuberance – this is present in everyone but tends to be taking out of us especially by the African education system. You never know what they could have discovered by carrying on with their climbing.

Explorers:
The body of a Soviet woman mummified in ice and looking like a 'wax doll' who died with six other climbers on Europe's highest peak 31 years ago has been found.

A rescue team brought mountaineer Elena Basykina's remains down from 18,510 ft Mount Elbrus in southern Russia.

Her relatives said today they had feared that she had been 'kidnapped or kept hostage' in the 'dangerous' Caucasus region but vowed to give her a proper burial.



Her body encased in ice was discovered by a group of tourists on the mountain, reported Russian news agencies.

She was 36 when she died.

Her cousin Evgeny said today that her mother had died after her health worsened when Elena disappeared.


He said: 'We have been waiting for Elena all these 30-plus years.

'We tried to guess what could have happened to her and feared perhaps that she was kidnapped or kept hostage somewhere.

'It is such a dangerous region.'
