The human species is unique from other's on this planet in many ways. One specific way is we are the only species that choses to do challenging or dumb shit strictly to see if it can be done. Everest is no exception.  The mentality, the training, the cost, the risk, all of the things required to even attempt to summit Everest make most not even consider it an option in their lives. How many days does it take to summit once you leave basecamp? How many people have died? How many people have actually made it? We're getting high as fuck both literally and educationally and tackling the tallest mountain on Earth.
