High altitude climbing is the ultimate test of endurance. One must endure pain as well as mental and physiological stress beyond imagination.

Oh spare me your narcissistic explanation. Everest is nothing more than a rich man's destination eco-trip.

If one has to wait in line behind 100 other tourists to hike up an alreadly roped and laddered trail then it is no longer a significant accomplishment.

You want to impress me? Tell me you climbed a virgin route without outfitter assistance and Sherpas to carry your crap...........

I never climb at any time with pre fixed ropes except Rainer with friends. Every other mountain I’ve summited has been as a two man team, just me and a Sherpa. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it you cranky old cuss. But keep babbling, your ignorance is amusing.
