A caller posed a very relevant question-- basically, in view of the rank vanity that climbing Everest has come to represent, aren\'t there better things which could be done with the $65K it costs? Steve Kraske, polite as always, thanked the caller for the "good question" then immediately changed the subject, not even inviting Michael Kodas (his interviewee) to respond! This itself is untypical of Steve, but if he deflected the question because he knew that Kodas is anxious to make another ascent, it\'s completely shocking.</div></div></div></div></div>');
