I just finished watching the IMAX Mount Everest movie. Quite amazing scenery and crazy motivated people who with the unbeliveable power of a bunch of superhuman Sherpas, got to spend a few minutes on top of the world.
There was this one western climber who took it upon himself to climb to the top without oxygene. He was so exhausted that he could not wait for the others to join him to celebrate the summit of Mount Everest.
Climbing Everest without oxygene is probably as smart as giving birth without epidoral. I leave it up to you to pass a pro or a con judgment.
There is no way with my fear of heights, and being father of young children that I would EVER in a million years undertake that climb.
I would rather row for a week and put in one million meters.
