So I’ve got stuck in one of those Wikipedia rabbit holes where you end up learning tonnes about a random subject. You know how it is… Anyways, I was looking up all things ‘Worlds Tallest Mountains’ when I stumbled across this picture of someone doing what appears to be an Eli Hop on the summit of a Himalayan mountain that he labels ‘Thorung Peak’ (which I suspect he means Thorong La since google came up with nothing). [http://skithehimalayas.com/files/2010/11/Hari-Mix-ladies-n-gents-lr.jpg?lbisphpreq=1&file=2010/11/Hari-Mix-ladies-n-gents-lr.jpg](http://skithehimalayas.com/files/2010/11/Hari-Mix-ladies-n-gents-lr.jpg?lbisphpreq=1&file=2010/11/Hari-Mix-ladies-n-gents-lr.jpg) [http://skithehimalayas.com/blog/2010/11/](http://skithehimalayas.com/blog/2010/11/) Epic, is it not? Needless to say I was NOT expecting to end up coming across yoyos when reading about mountains, but I guess this just shows that no matter where you go… you just can’t escape them.  😛 ---

Well, for all we know he could have missed it. That’s crazy. The blog post has nothing to do with yoyos. I guess ya never know where they’ll show up. ---

You don’t choose yoyos, yoyos choose you. ---

That’s an awesome photo! Guess I’m not the only one wondering what yoyo he chose to bring to the top of a mountain
