Depends on the suit.. I am not proposing people wear a full EVA suit.. I am suggesting that we have the technology to overcome all the hazards of the climb except the falling into a giant pit part...

Cold and lack of oxygen should NEVER be an issue with modern tech.

Again, if this were 1911 I would be impressed .. as it stands, in 2011, it falls under the realm of stupid crap people do to achieve a false sense of self worth.

I'm equally impressed with Daniel Baraniuk...
