I agree, I don’t get it, why would anyone care to do this climb?
If you do a google search you’ll find all kinds of outfitters now doing hikes up Everest. I think they start at about $30,000 per person........
Brag point, or it’s supposed to be a self confidence builder.
Trouble is, it will spiritually go over like a lead balloon if it isn’t for the sake of God.
People want to brag they got to the tip of Mt. Everest, and yet forget that they get on an escalator to heaven when they fall on their knees. Because God gets the glory and that becomes a buzzkill to pride.
Didn't someone say "Because it's there.?"
You must not understand the human spirit...the sense of adventure.
I am positive there were people on the docks in 1492 saying: "I don't get it...why would anyone care to sail THAT journey"...and an equal number of their counterparts in the 1600's as they waived goodbye to their loved ones.
