a Story of personal challenge, of loss, of triumph, of tenacity and toughness, not many people could face. Everest - the toughest challenge...
It sounds like it's actually gotten to the point it needs to be extremely limited for people to actually be approved to climb the mountain. To many are going, and to many are dying and placing other people in harm's way because of their stubbornness, and sometimes ignorance to try things there is no way they could accomplish. You just don't set out and say, gee I think I will set out to climb Everest this year. No worries, I can do it. Really? You can bear 70 below, go 40 hours without sleep, know what to do when your oxygen regulator freezes up when you are in an area you cannot breath? I tell you, from this read, they can have this insanity, even if I was a young man, I would not try this.
