Does anyone on SW dream of climbing Mt Everest?

Would be cool to do. Would pass a lot of dead bodies tho or even join them lol

nah I lay in my comfy bed watching people slog their hearts out...and then I dream of puppies

Nope. I do enjoy climbing relatively "easy " mountains, where you just have to walk along a trail. That can be strenuous enough if the trail gets steep. I have no desire to "graduate" from that level of mountain climbing.

Heck no, I hate, [b]hate[/b] cold weather....

Not really. That would be dangerous and boring, except for the view you must get at the top.

Climbing mount everest ?

SMH.

How many times im gonna havearest in between.

It is already full of junk left by mountaineers.
Let us keep nature clean.

I really don’t plan on killing myself but if I do, I dont want to do it in -40 degree weather.

No thanks, sometimes it’s a struggle to get up the stairs 🤣

A guy I went to college with is climbing it right now.

I would love to if I could afford it.
It takes quite a bit of money and time training to make the climb.
Then the cost of sherpas and a guide.
Permits alone could run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Insurance for an accident or emergency.
It’s not a cheap endeavor

Even gentle rock-climbing and exposed hill walks such as found in parts of England are out for me - no head for heights - but I do admire those who can do it.

Tragically Mt. Everest does attract far too many who can climb but for whom this one is too severe.

Ill pass🥶

Not me. I read a book years ago about a man that did. Climbing over dead people, trash everywhere, and total disregard for humanity. I'm not interested.

Too much litter and too many corpses.

"I know! Lets climb a really high and trashed cemetary!"

That would be a hard NO! It is far to cold and I am not remotely in shape for anything like that.

Not at all.

Beautiful to look at, but it's an ascent with a notorious reputation.

No, Firle Beacon is enough for me.

No. It always looked dreadfully cold. Not my idea of a good climb.

No thanks, I’ll watch 4K videos on YouTube about it

No, it's too cold and doesn't have any stairs

Dream yes. Do? No. My body would fail me.

Mt. Washington, yes
Everest, noooo.

I do

Not anymore.

at this point it's more about money than skills
And the risks are comparatively less so anyone here with sufficient money and a fit body can give a try

Not me! The ex's boss climbed Everest though, and gave the ex a photo of himself at the top, which the ex brought home and put on the fridge for a while.

no, i dont see anything special about it when its such a common thing now for people to go climbing it

These people have time to climb past dead bodies but don't give af about bring them back down

Yes , but dream it will stay as i do t like the cold climates :p

@meggie 🤔not esecially as i hate heights lol

I used to, quite a lot!

Nop

Nope

No

No, what an absolute waste of time rooted in nothing but pure, [i]meaningless[/i] EGO

All climbers should be banned from the tallest peaks like this, there is so much trash, so many dead bodies up there, and the whole thing requires other people besides the climbers to risk their lives too, for nothing more than some idiot climber's own VANITY
