    <Naturally, it can't go this way forever or the atmosphere would come to a
    very abrupt end at 29,920 feet!>

    And one simply can't climb above 29,035 ft unless the Chinese have started a
    replica of the Eiffel Tower on Mt. Everest. But I suppose for sextant
    arcana...surely the early climbers must have taken a sextant to the top to
    confirm the location of the peak? And had some unique issues to deal with
    there?

    Or not?
