It always brings a tear to my eyes when I hear if anyone with enough money to climb Everest 3 times and loses the tips of his fingers. /s
I get your sentiment. :)
I dont have a problem with folks doing tough challenges and using their own money. I just know the risks of this particular challenge and i wouldnt risk fingers, toes, death, to say i made it to the top of Everest. I cant do what I need to do to live everyday without fully working fingers or some kind of permanent disability from it. Other people depend on me as well.
