"Namga Parbat and K2 are the two 8000 m peaks that have never been climbed – there are a total of 14 8000 m peaks in the world."
You might want to find a fact-checker, because this statement is wrong.

Wow BPL forums’ very own Dan Durston.
Dan
Looks like the missing words are "in winter". But yeah, glaringly wrong the way it's written.
Yes, I messed that up and left "in the winter" out…was this what you were referring to? I found that there are 14 8000m peaks and K2 and Nanga Parbat are the two that have never been climbed in the winter.
Eric, maybe Ryan is looking for a new writer and fact-checker. Who proofread this?
–B.G.–
I wrote it and proofread it…yeah I definitely missed a few things this time. Is the info about the 8000m peaks still wrong or has it been corrected?
Eric- it's correct.
Bob- Give him a break. This isn't the New York Times.
"Give him a break. This isn't the New York Times."
It's not even the Bozeman Bulletin.

No one is forcing you to read it Bob :-P
Article is not dated. No comments allowed? What's up?
It's Wednesday, where are the new articles?
Guess I woke someone up.
