Highway to Everest base camp !!!

Reinhold Messner 1st person to summit Chomolungma (tibetan name) without oxygen would call this "the murder of the impossible". They just plan on bringing a torch up there? Mountaineering at this altitude is suicidal no matter how experienced you are. A highway to Everest defeats the entire purpose of the journey.
 
Not sure I get the "torch" thing. Will it be an LED lamp or flashlight? :rolleyes:

Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air is an excellent personal account of the tragic 1996 expedition that resulted in 8 deaths. He frames his story with the history of prior expeditions and the increasing commercialization of Everest, which has been well underway for quite some time.
