To those people questioning why anyone would try to summit Everest, from what I’ve gathered, it’s a test of personal limits. You might as well ask why anyone would run a marathon or try to shoot par. There’s no LOGICAL reason for it, but that doesn’t diminish the motive. And I’m glad there are those men — and women — who challenge ease and demand to know their own potential.
