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.
