Trunl,
You really don't understand! Posts like these are annoying, they get on your nerves. Be quiet and stay quiet. When you ask how much it cost for a Kanchenjuga expedition, when everybody on this forum knows you won't get there on the next 15 years is annoying and stupid.
You don't realize that for people unfamiliar to this forum, they might think you're doing 8000m expeditions and might listen to your comments.

You say that you want to learn, the best way to learn is to shut up and open your ears to others who have experience. So stop posting for a while and just listen to other people's experience and wisdom. And Ron was a person who had experience on the mountains and with gear and that's invaluable and it's a shame that he's gone.
