Do you know what the spread of nationalities were within the team?  Were they 
heavy US/UK biased or was it very mixed?

I look at a copy of Krakauer's book, "Into Thin Air" recently.  I'm not 
familiar with the story, but it seems it told of a difficult descent from the 
summit of Mt. Everest by an international team.  All altitudes, at a glance, 
were in feet.  Question is, are feet used as a standard for such undertakings, 
even when the teams consist of people from the "rest of the world?"
