First off, why would anyone want to climb the highest peak on the planet? For the view, sure. But really, it’s about that feeling of doing something insanely difficult.
Imagine running a marathon, but it’s freezing cold, you can barely breathe, and the finish line is at 29,000 feet. That’s Everest. It’s the ultimate test of patience, guts, and whether you really like instant noodles for three months straight.
It’s not about being a superhero. It’s about being stubborn enough to say, “Yeah, I’ll give it a shot,” and then doing the work. Fascinating, right? You don’t need superpowers—just a ridiculous amount of planning.
