Well guess what that mountain doesnt give a FUCK what you just did, and neither do most people. I cant name one person whos climbed it even though I know over a thousand have done it. I guess some people really enjoy it and its for personal pride, but i would only go towards danger to save someone else or get laid.
1: It's challenging. Can you climb a mountain? Honestly.
2: If you did, then why not say you did? It's an accomplishment, see challenge above.
3: It's very difficult to top the forces of nature... not many can do it. See accomplishment above.
4: Most people don't give a fuck that I exist. Does this mean that I shouldn't involve myself with people?
5: I can't name one person who went to war against Napoleon. So?
6: Some people do infact really enjoy it, and it does provide a strong sense of pride. What you would do... is entirely irrelevant to what they would do.
7: Mountaineers 'save' and assist others not infrequently... and plenty of them get laid. It's quite a pickup line, really: 'Babe, I climbed mount everest. I'm quite certain I can keep going till you orgasm (several times).'
The himalayas are not a joke, you know. I sincerely doubt I could solo climb Everest today. 29K feet is a 5 and a half mile climb, followed by a similar descent. In snow, cold, and low amount of oxygen. Weighted down by climbing equipment and snow gear.
I sincerely doubt you can solo climb Everest if you can't wear medieval armor and jog ten miles with energy to spare. Why? Because you don't have the stamina to climb that mountain.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
