I like high altitude climbing in that I like backpacking and camping and reading/watching stuff about high altitude climbing. But I've never done anything.

I'd still like to do some mountaineering, but even if I actually do it I think Denali/Aconcagua would be as far as I'd go. Maybe Cho Oyu, but I'm not being very realistic when I say that.

Same here, I've trekked some 12 and 13ers in Colorado and New Mexico, but that's the extent of it. Technical climbing to me is a an entirely other ballgame, which is what I think separates Everest from K2.

I think its amazing these guys literally watched guys next to them die, and still kept going. Crazy.

There are much more technical mountains/route that can be done without having to commit a bit of time such as those 2.
