Ive been looking for an Everest Summit Register. Can anyone provide
ideas, or answers?
Thanks SS

There's a Mt. Everest in Mass (900 feet or something...). perhaps
that's the one Cramer climbed.

Quoth Steven Sears <sse...@sprynet.com>:

>about 30 years ago?

According to an appendix in Walt Unsworth's book "Everest,"
thirty-six people had reached the summit of Everest as of the
end of 1973. No sign of anybody named Michael Richards on
the list. In fact, a quick scan of the list clear to the
end (1989) shows no one by that name reaching the summit.
Could somebody be blowing a little smoke your way?

Steve Writes:

Being a fan of Seinfeld, I think I can clarify:

1. In the show, Elaine's boss, J. Peterman, is portrayed as an
adventurer.

2. He wrote a book about his adventures, but he had gone on no
adventures. Peterman did get stories from the character Kramer, and
wrote them as his own stories.
3. I think one of the stories that Kramer told Peterman was: Summiting
Everest.

4. The Actor who plays Kramer is named Michael Richards. However,
Richards is probably not his real name. Check the register for the name
"Kenny Kramer" though.

Cheers,
Steve

Actually, I think this question came from another angle...

On some dating game... might have been THE Dating Game, about 20 yrs ago,
Kramer (Michael Richards) was introduced as having climbed Mt. Everest.

Cramer appeared as a contestant in the dating game (1968) where he claimed to have climbed Mount Everest. Sounds like something he did to embellish his resume.

I can't verify it exactly, but here's a clip of a Dating Game episode that Richards appeared in. The intro says he climbed Mt Everest. Who knows if he was telling the truth.

Michael Richards was on the dating game in 1968 and they said he climbed Mt Everest. He didn't

Everest base camp trek, an iconic high altitude trek begins from Lukla then ramble throughout cultural Sherpa village to Khumbu glacier on bottom of Mount Everest. Also climb to Kala Patthar summit to see Mount Everest.
