I have climbed on dangerous peaks before. Eiger, Matterhorn, Popocatepetl, Orazaba, Cayambe, Cotopaxi, Chimborazo, Aconcagua (Polish Glacier Route), Cho Oyu. I know people who have climbed Everest, but I am now over 50 years old and that increases risk greatly on Everest or any of the other peaks over 7,000 meters. I have seen some death from altitude complications and think it is too much risk now for me.
