"THE date for the ascent of the Olympic flame to Qomolangma, or Mount Everest, is still up in the air as the weather over the world's highest peak remains unfavorable.....
The torch relay, ahead of the Games to open in Beijing on August 8, will include a flame ascent to Mt Qomolangma on the border of Nepal and China's Tibet.
It is separate from the one on the global run, which has reached Hong Kong.
Chinese weather authorities installed state-of-the-art observatories on Qomolangma this year in a bid to pinpoint the perfect ascent time." -Shanghai Daily.com
I just thing this is a really strange notion; I don't get it. They carry the fire to the top of Mt. Everest.....and then come back down.....and then what....? Why? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
