I mean. You couldn't literally go climb it right now due to necessity of altitude acclimation, but you're definitely in good enough shape to start the process.

If I had a spare 90k and two months to blow Id give it a shot, and lol at the guys who say it's not a big deal.

I'm guessing asthma in that type of cold would be a real bitch

They couldn't determine by any of the evidence if Mallory had actually made the summit. Some think he did, others think not.

Didn't they recover a camera that didn't have any pictures of the summit?

Also, I read a long piece about the disaster on K2 a few years ago and it was harrowing reading as well

I've been to the top of Pike's Peak, that is half the elevation as Everest, and I couldn't breath. No way would I even try.

Ok the most hard core chiefs fan should scale everest with a matt cassel jersey on and drink anti freeze right on the side of a trail so everyone passing upwards has to see the pain of being a chiefs fan
