    Climbing Everest is one of the most boring goals I can think of to have. Who cares? The mountain is so crowded at the top, it feels so artificial.

      It’s an ecological disaster as well. There’s so many spent items, dead bodies, human waste, and just general trash. Not to mention it’s not really a prestige anymore it’s been commercialized so much. There’s fewer deaths on the mountain compared to say the 90s.
