A Lebanese who (claimed to have) climbed Mt Everest, said in a Lebanese interview--I am not making this up--that he was the
first in his team to reach the summit. But in fairness: he did admit to LBC-TV that he cried when he and his team left another climber to die in the
cold. I saw a picture of this man planting the Batata flag allegedly on Mt. Everest, but the place looked like Bhamdun to me. But what do I know.
