Im amazed by people who test themselves to that extreme for very little or no reward.
The most I test/challenge myself is camping with very little and hiking into uncharted areas. And some of my fishing excursions are somewhat difficult.
But the things I do are not really that hard and I think they are simply fun.
Climbing Everest is like slowly killing yourself.... And spending lots of money to do it. More power to those rare folks to dare to do it.
No ****ing way I would ever try something like Everest though.
Agreed, Everest is totally overrated. There are lots of other mountains with a more impressive prominence rating that are far less likely to kill you. Mckinley, Kilimanjaro, Fuji, That tallish mountain in Chile/Argentina, Timpanogas, all better options. Everest is also reportedly, very crowded and littered due to it's popularity. It's no longer cool people, give it up.
