it's in October in Vermont...

What if Mt. Everest and 29029 vertical feet came to you?

We rent a private mountain. We build a base camp village with bands, bonfires, luxury tipi tents, food and drink. You join a community of like-minded individuals while tackling an epic endurance challenge. It is “Burning Man” meets “Ironman”.


My man.

This would be a great start to see if my endurance is there.

Only betas practice first and use oxygen. It's pretty much like you didn't even climb the mountain if you acclimate and use oxygen. Keep that in mind.

Their channel is awesome and watching it makes me want to travel.

Their trek to the base camp to Everest looks doable to anyone who is willing to walk on mountain trails 10-12 Miles/day. It took them 15 days total...and flying in looks scary as shite to the airport.

You might be able to find some people to admire you and follow you on this adventure of yours, but, I don't give a shite.

It almost seems more like a vanity project for you to prove your ultimate alphaness.


Nah, my vanity project is 4 times a week in the gym. I want to do something like this before I get too old to push my body. I want to see how hard I can go before I think I'm going to die. Example: I swam in 35 degree water in Iceland (in a wet suit) for 45 minutes.I legit thought I was going to die, as in my heart just stop.

You may be surprised after you make the sacrifices to do this how many people do not care.

You will get few questions upon a new introduction and that is about it.

Others that climbed will understand the enormity of the accomplishment but the rest will just say "cool" and wonder who is going to be the QB in 2019.
