Climb what, you might ask. Well, Mount Everest.
Let's see.....it costs at least $40,000...requires months of becoming acclimated to the thin air...you walk across ice "canyons" on narrow ladders which have been taped together...the temps are waaaay below zero...you will probably wind up with frostbite...supplemental oxygen is required...once you do reach the top (IF you do reach the top) you can only stay a VERY short time or you will die...only to make the dangerous trip back down.
Hmmmmmm........my answer???? "No, thank you!"
Why would anyone WANT to do this? To say, "hey, I climbed Mt. Everest"??? Um....I'd rather tell folks, "hey, I went to Hawaii".
