I think you actually have to have a couple screws loose to have an obsession on climbing mountains where you need oxygen gear and the chance of dying is upwards of 30%
To put it plain and simple go to a nice mountain range like the Sierras is choose a 13 or 14,000 foot peak and climb in a couple days and camp out it’s very pleasant beautiful
lakes glaciers everything you ever wanted
the temperature is nice too and no weather
I mean come on.
And certainly if you’re going to climb a mountain big boy or girl you need to be able to do it on your own
no Sherpas no help no nothing.
Today's Everest climb is already laid out with ropes and ladders and all the other stuff that makes walking simpler..........
