I trekked to base camp, was an amazing experience. Everest is no Walmart of
Mountains. It’s a phenomenal mountain range

Sounds awesome. Pyramids are on the family list here.
I don’t have much desire to do the Everest thing. If I did, I’d bring the skis a tear it up.
That’d be one hell of a ski trip
I’d be the frozen guy they find head down/skis up, 40 years later.
There are plenty of those on Everest
Have you read ‘touching the void’ ?
I spent a great evening in the pub with Joe Simpson. He is a true explorer . A climber who pushed himself to extremes and has lost many ‘risk taking ‘ friends. A very humble, cool guy.
Wow. Very cool.
Climbing just isn’t my thing. It’s like jumping out of an airplane. Fun for the people doing it and you push yourself mentally/physically but the risk of death just to say u did it doesn’t compute with me.
Sherpas climb those mountains like it’s a walk in the park. They don’t make many lists of the amazing climbers. Some do but rare.
