> Good for Alex. Literally. He asks for money for charity. But for the vast costs of his 2 commercial attempts on Everest and his attempts on Cho Oyu and Baruntse, fees, equipment, travel, did he use his own earned money, or did he take the money out of those charity donations? I wonder
Why don’t you ask him, instead of wondering. Then, if he answers, your snipes can be a little bit more informed. He seems to have a pretty heavy personal investment in the charity he’s establishing and it’s exactly the sort of thing people on this website usually go nuts for.
