Some amazing photography of Everest and its surrounds

I've always been interested in climbing - not that I've ever done more than some 3,500 ft on scrambles with a little climbing.
Came across this 4 bn pixel of Everest that you can zoom into etc and see the surrounding area. Brilliant detail - just look at base camp and all the tents.
Don't think I'll be attempting an ascent of the south face any time soon:

I did the trek from Jiri to Everest base camp a few years back. 21 days. Was one of the best experiences ever. Was really cheap too. Flights from BKK not too bad either. Have contacts of a good guide there if anyone ever wants them.
