Very good PR stunt, actually.
An even better PR stunt was performed by climbers who chatted with their families on cell phones before dying on the slopes of Everest.

In the light of Everest as popular graveyard, I don't think tweeting from there is that fun or groovy. People should tweet from there, but not make a big deal about it.
