This is the most depressing thread I have ever read here. The only people still interested in going to the Q are too lame to even set up camp and there are no young people who want to go or even work as paid Sherpa's?  Isn't this BWJ Stu's whole gig? And does he pay the taxes on labor performed in Canada by a US citizen? Do we need handicapped access entry points with means to access the remote areas for those who can not do it conventionally? When I get to the point I can no longer go Q tripping because of physical limitations I will just move on to other pursuits, but if I ask such a pathetic question on this forum as start6ed this thread, please come and hit me with a bowling pin as I obviously am developing dementia.
