I think I might go climb Everest.

Before you scoff or think I'm insane, it's no longer dangerous. It's basically a group hike, following an established trail with dozens of other people. It's pretty much a parade of people and modern gear is more than adequate for a safe and reasonably comfortable trip. Literally, you'l be in a group with many other people - even if you're trying to hike it 'alone'. Basically, it's a matter of paying your way to make the claim. You need thousands of dollars, just to get a permit to climb. You need thousands of dollars worth of awesome gear. Once you pay your money, unless the weather stops you from climbing, you're going to get to the top of Everest.

Shit, a blind dude climbed the mountain - with some help, of course. Kids have climbed it. Your odds of success are pretty close to 100%.

I don't know about that. What is the point? People die doing that!

So I can say that I did it.

And, not all that many people die on Everest these days. Like five a year. Hell, these days a good portion of those deaths are due to overcrowding.

Far more people die from driving too fast for the conditions.

When anyone can do it is it really something impressive to say that you did it?
