It hardly seems like much of an accomplishment anymore making it to the top of Everest. Not sure why people do it... “Oh, look at me, I’m the 489th fat a$$ Sherpas dragged up to the summit of Everest. It was hard, too. I panted all the way. Could’ve died. You could never afford it.”
14 year olds go up Everest now.
The Sherpas seem to be getting angrier too.
