Not on my list but I can imagine the attraction. Or at least could.
The highest point on earth. Seeing a stunning view that still fewer than 7000 people have ever seen with their own eyes.
Don’t think I’d fancy it so much these days with the queues of people there waiting to summit.
And the odds are not great. For 6600 people who have summited , more than 300 have died. And I’m not convinced that includes all the Sherpas whose lives you’re also putting at risk for very little money.
