I'll be attempting to Climb Mount Everest next January.

I'll have a full year of training to get my body physically ready and then I'll have to about a 2-3 month period once I arrive to adapt to the altitude, I really hope I can make it to the summit. It been my life long dream to do the impossible and climb the worlds largest mountain. It's crazy to that I want to put my body through that type of torment, I will literally be at the cruising altitude of a Boeing 737 Jet. My body will be dying and I'll get to see the best view that God put on this earth. I really hope I make up up there and down safely.
I'm climbing for my own benefit, I'm climbing it because it's there and I want to prove that anyone can climb it with a little bit of luck and proper training.
I want to give updates throughout the year. If any of you have anything you would like me to put at the summit like a flag or something...ill give you my email. Only serious inquiries though people, thank you for your time have a blessed day.

Is January really the best time to do that? Seems like July or August might be better.

I'll die with an LSU sticker on my helmet and a fricking Miller light in my hand. If that's how I go so be it.

How old are you? And what other peaks have you climbed? Are you going with a particular outfit? I presume you are going to use oxygen and have a sherpa support team?
Purely curious.
Also, I thought most summit attempts were made in May. Even with the acclimatization period, starting in January will give you a March or April summit, right?

Is this how Nepal funds their entire economy?

Badass! Be safe and I can't wait to hear about it when you get back!

You created an account just to tell us you'll be paying a bunch of Sherpas to hold your hand and lead you up Everest?

You need to rock some sort of td.com paraphernalia up there....

You know there won't be any wifi up there right?
