I went through a phase where I read the Everest and K2 books about various expeditions. Ugh, no more!
For me, it was the famous “Into Thin Air” book written by John Krakauer that really hit me how physically sucky that whole experience is.
Not my cup of tea, but I do understand why people do it. I think it is crazy, but hey...different strokes for different folks.

Me too. When Krakauer’s book INTO THIN AIR came out.
