Kathmandu - Mountaineering authorities in Nepal say they are fed up with nudity on Mount Everest and are taking measures to put an end to "disrepectful" stunts on the world's highest peak.

"People taking their clothes off and so on - these kind of things we are tring to stop," said Ang Tsering Sherpa, the head of Nepal's official mountaineering body which issues climbing permits.

Last year a local climber sparked outrage after he claimed the world's highest display of nudity when he stripped and stood naked for several minutes on the 8 848-metre summit.

And earlier this year, a Dutchman attempted to set a bizarre record by being the first to scale the peak while wearing only shorts.

'It's disrepectful - the mountains are sacred'
The joke among many Nepali mountaineers now is that the only record left to be set on the mountain is giving birth at the summit.
go

First to scale the peak wearing only shorts?? The climber would be a fool and selfish, someone would have to go up there and rescue him when he froze - some people are dingbats

Let him freeze his nuts off....that'll teach him.

Blimey, if I were a bloke, I would hate to get onto the wrong side of you Nativechick ROFL!!!!

Thats hardcore, going up a mountain with the possibility of facing strinkage that will invert your package takes balls...<<(aha)

Some people are just too stupid!

Well, if he freezes his cojones off climbing Mt. Everest in nothing but shorts, then provided he hasn't already reproduced at least he'll be eligible for (and highly deserving of) the Darwin Award.

Sounds dangerous climbing a mountain naked.
Although, could be an advantage in case of an accident.
"Look, you're falling...grab on anything! It's your only chance!
Grab,,,ARGGGG NOT ME COCK, christ.. what's wrong with you?"

HA!... shrinkage... too funny! Personally I'd be afraid of a strange situation happening like in that movie 'A Christmas Story' where the kid gets his tounge stuck to the flagpole.

^ That'd be a horrible way to be circumcised.

^LOL

Frostbite...
