Have you ever wanted to climb Everest or met anyone who had conquered it?

No. I hate icy cold weather and I'm not a fan of heights. I'll stick to the Colorado mountains where I can sit inside by the fire, sipping a drink, while watching the pretty snow and people having fun outside.

I walked up the steps of the Washington monument in the mid sixties as a kid. That was hard work I ain't climbing no damn mountain. Can drive to the summit of the ones I care to visit. that damn thing is cold and covered in snow hell no

My professor in college was the first woman to scale Everest (RIP dr kormakova).

What about Cypress !

CookieCrumbs · F

I personally know someone who successfully climbed it.

Would I want to? I loved the mountains and I’m planning to climb one in Portugal one day. It’s at 7700 feet elevation.

But no, I’m not that ambitious to plan for Mt Everest.

I start feeling like I'm low on oxygen at 3000m, no chance I'd get to 8848 alive 😬

No. I’m afraid of heights and so are most of my friends.

Thanks for BC. I did get to view directly the various monument stones placed in the wall at each stair landing. Something that hasn't been possible since 1976 when the stairs were closed to the public.

alongalone · M

No am too busy swinging the world by the tail and bouncing over white clouds

Horace · M

Nah. I'd probably run into too many preppies on the way.

GoFish · 41-45, F

no i never wanted to do any such thing .. i know people have died trying tho idk why people want to do that to themselves for pure vanity?

i wanted to go snow skiing tho when i was younger and fit

nobodyishome · 31-35, F

Nein, danke

nudistsueaz · 61-69, F

Hmm, no I haven't.

No way but I would love to have a chat about it. Three things I will never do are jump out of a plane, scuba diving, and climb a mountain for real. There’s another crazy one where you jump off mountain and basically fly down only a few feet off ground head first. I enjoy living too much for any of these thrills.

No.Some years ago I went up to the summits of a couple of mountains in Switzerland,one by cable-car,and another by a cog-wheel railway. I've never wanted to climb any mountains however.

Birdbox1986 · 31-35, F

No they’d be dead

OlderSometimesWiser · F

Not me but I find it fascinating to read about, like Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air.

Dangerous journey to be sure. One thing I never realized is that way more people die on the descent from the mountain than the ascent up the mountain.

JoyfulSilence · 51-55, M

Nope.

If I cannot drive there, or at least close enough, I am not going there!

Munumbis · 46-50, M

No it never crossed my mind. You're basically hiking up out of the earths atmosphere. Id take a job on the moon base if they build it. If I'm going to be in that kind of environment it sounds more interesting.

WillaKissing · 61-69, M

As a Youth I wanted too. As a 61-year-old that has done some amazing things around the world already, I can say I pass on that idea now.

And No, I do not know anyone who has tried.

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

No.. maybe when they put in the escalator😷

ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M

No. Too dangerous and strenuous.

Chern0bylplaygr0unds
