BDHG940 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 If money and time wasn't a concern, would you make an attempt to climb Mount Everest and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 No. Why would I? What would the point be, just to "do it"? KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I can't spend that long with Eskimos, so no. But really, no. Unless I was trying to scale the highest peaks of each continent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahd-ler Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I thought I read somewhere that 1 in 8 people dont come down (or something like that)... So probably not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.1cutlass Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Absolutely. In a heart beat. Always wanted to and it is on my bucket list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangsn95gt Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 If I had the money and time to climb everest I would have the money and time to do other badass shit that I would do instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Isnt it something like $1m+ to do it and involve being there for months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 50% of America can't climb a flight of stairs and not get winded. I don't see CR being much different. I'd love to but I hate the cold. Closest I've come is mountain biking at 8,500ft+ near Crater Lake. I'm good with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'd just fly a helicopter to the top, jump my happy ass out, snap pics of me "climing Mt. Everest", get back in the warm helicopter and then post the pics on facebook, who'd know the difference lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad is Dead Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Probably not Everest but my dad and I have talked about climbing a mountain together. He really wants to do it before he gets to old and I think it would be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I don't think you can fly a helo to the top. Nope...air is too thin. It was done once I think but you won't be jumping out with a camera. That's part of the risks in any climb let alone that one. Rescue if you get hurt isn't just MedFlight away.

Forrest Gump 9 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 If money and time were unlimited, I would try to be the first person to DRIVE up mount Everest. Beside that, probably not. On the same note, there was a local man here in Columbus just climb mount Everest about a mount or so ago. His wife is a client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verse Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I don't think you can fly a helo to the top. They have done it and have been working on them for years to be able to save climbers near the top. It's not the money or time that would be the problem for 70% of people, it's your body. I love watching Everest documentaries and reading journals, but I have asthma so there is no possible way I'd be able to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 There's no pot of gold up there. There's no thrill in it for me. It's a challange, yes. But, of all the other challenges out there and the things I have done; I'll be down here where it's warm and where the pussy is. I just have zero interest, because I'm not humping a snowboard up there. It's to high to even enjoy the ride down. I've been on MT. Fuji, Japan and to the Rocky's with Trouble maker, I'm good with that. The training commitment I would rather put into several other interests, like track school's, snowboarding clinic's, and just plain fucking instead of climbing to where a bunch of people have failed.

oh8sti Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 That's takes years of training and experience in climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 yup. Buddy of mine is takeling the 14ers of CO right meow and my dad is an avid climber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I think it's great when you see these people trying to climb Everest with all this equipment and oxygen tanks and junk and then see the Sherpa who are guiding them have just a walking stick and a heavy jacket.
