Mount Everest

[robbie9]

Did you know it can cost up to €80,000 to climb Mt Everest.

I've only just watched a documentary on a climb to the summit on Amazon Prime video.

A permit is €11,000

What an absolute money grabbing country.

so only the rich of the rich can climb it.

i know the season starts in a couple of weeks so expect those rich thrill seeking travellers will be living on that mountain for 2 months.

now i've no experience of climbing but i'd certainly give it a go if i had the money. there is only a 1.4% chance you will die so i'd take my chances!

As for the 2nd highest mountain the world K2, it's 25% chance of death , less than 400 people have reached the summit there & some of those that did died on the decent
