IIRC Everest isnt even a very hard one. Amongst the famous 8000ers (meters of course) there are a buncha much harder ones. Particularly K2 seems to be a real bitch, and its like only 200m less than Everest. Who cares if you are operating on 39% oxygen or 38%? This is clearly a *wannabe climber* problem.
