Elsie Scott Stuehmeyer... has a picture from Everest base camp of a Sherpa, who had summitted Everest, wearing the kilt she had made for him.
Thanks for the reminder. I was thinking that with all the Scots in mountaineering, some one must have been kilted in Base Camp, at least. I agree that it's very cool that a Sherpa was kilted.
Note that it did not say he summited in the kilt. It gets to -40 degrees up there, and at -40 it doesn't matter which scale you're using.

If anyone has the photo of the guy piping to the penguins in Antarctica I believe that is of one of my kilts that wintered over in '05.
It is one of the pictures of my customers that was lost when my customers 'puter crashed and would love to have another copy.

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
I have worn my kilt to German Festivals and Polka Concerts (Brave Combo). Monday night I gave blood at church in my kilt. The nurse even put a sheet over my knees. Wearing my kilt to German festival in Timonium this weekiend. I'll wear it any where
