It has become a trophy travel thing.

Sir Edmund Hilary spoke up a few yeas ago about people letting others die on their quest.

I have no interest in mountain climbing. It looks like a good way to die.

To each his own.

I always say to myself that I would love to give it a shot after I watch a movie or documentary on climbing Everest. Then, I go back to being a lazy arse and crack open another beer.

I know someone who's done K-2, but didn't do Everest.

Hey Pocket Aces, could you recommend a good mountain climbing guide? Someone I could fly into my villa in the Tetons?

Yea. Watched a few docs. on climbing the 8000ers and they all had people die and the climbers just kept going like nothing happened.

I've heard any slapdick with a bank account can do it nowadays. It's practically Disney World. In fact there's so much trash and human waste of there it's becoming a problem.

Nope and now it's anchored for some reason. Might need to start a Q&A for him since he is here but avoiding any mention of it.

My buddy's dad did it. He was boys with those doctor dudes from Dallas that got stuck up there back in the 90s.

A friend of my realtor was one of those people trapped on Everest when that Earthquake hit recently. Was her first attempt at an Everest climb, talk about bad timing.
