Why people like to climb Mount Everest?

It would be a great experience, never mind the risk. Risk is part of our life.

I think that some of the people climb it to set a record, some people do it because it is a great adventure, and others do it to feel a great big sense of accomplishment. Climbing any mountain is not really something that I would ever feel interested in, but it must be enjoyable for some. :)

I think most people do it for the adventure. Although it appears that a lot of people climb Everest every year, the reality is that relatively few people get to experience this adventure. I would personally never attempt it, although there are some other adventures I would like to try, but I guess if you like that sort of thing, it would be cool to try...

I don't know, different reasons I'm sure. The adventure, just to say they did it, or for some kind of fame, or to get noticed. I don't really see the point myself. I have no interest in climbing mt. everest. Do not care one bit.

I am a chinese. that is true.A lot of peole like to clime Mount Everest . I think it is a self-challenge adventure. it need courage and strong body and endurance. People would like to challenge the utmost limit ,so that it can realize their value. Have a nice day,my friend.

I guess the best way to know the answer to that is to directly ask the person why he/she wanted to do it. You'll get a clearer answer. Probably some of them are here in MyLot. Answers, anyone?

This question was asked of one mountaineer (who's name I can't remember) and his reply was simply "Because it's there." In short, because it presents an irresistable challenge to a certain type of person.

I think most people do it to challenge themselves. There are few things in life that would compare with this. There may be a few that do this for fame, but unless they are prepared. they may be foolish. The big fame can come from dying on the mountain. Reaching the top, woul only bring fleeting fame and only then if you are lucky.

As all of us know ell that Mount Everest is the highest peak of the world.. no any peak are high as Mount Everest.. so climbing on it is a very hard jobs.. and also it is a adventures jobs.. but mostly people like to climbing on it.. and want to popular in the world.. because yet very fewer people are get success to climb on this peak..

Only those adventurous people and had fund like to climb Mount Everest. They want to take challenges. And to take this, high risk will be coupled for making a record and have fun.

Adventure and the thrill of going to high places. I've experienced climbing the second highest mountain of the Philippines, Mt. Pulag. We got to the top even in harsh weather and the feeling of finishing the trek is really uplifting. Not every person have done so. Never mind the risk, what's important is fulfilling one great goal for yourself.

hello there are persons with various zeals, interests, with strong determination they can achieve any thing, crossing all obstacles.. Thanks for this nice post, cheers God bless you. Prof

For others Mt.Everest is the right place to test ones courage...Reaching on top is like a fulfillment and victory. It gives them sense of satisfaction. It is a survival for the fittest.For those who succeeded it is more like an adventure. But for those who failed to return home alive, it is more like a way to their grave.

I want to do it for the experience and fulfillment!!! I will prepare for it to ensure my safety. I will invest on it, too.

I think you would like the feeling on being on top of the world since it is the tallest mountain in the world. We might not understand since we are not mountaineers but I think if you like climbing mountains then your ultimate dream would be mount Everest. I have an office mate that is a mountaineer and she climbs mountains at least twice a month and it is because of adventure, reaching the peak is an achievement where you can see a wonderful view and they say you feel like closer to the sky since there are clouds. And maybe some climb to be in history.

Hi Vine, It's a great accomplishment climbing the top of mount everest. once you are on top you will see the beauty of nature around. i may not have been there and reach the top but as far as their sharings are concerned after reaching the top---it's really fulfilling! if given the chance i wouild love to!

from the looks of it you are not one to take many risks and enjoy adventure.

There are people who want to do more than the ordinary individual. Not everyone is fit to climb Mt Everest and to those who succeeded they will become famous overnight, that's the financial side of it. So if you want to get famous and have the most thrilling adventure of your lifetime then climbing Mr everest is the way to go.

Sometimes we will never know why people do some of the things they do. I suppose its done for the adventure, I can't really be sure. But, that's the most logical. But think about it, the world's highest peak one of the greatest challenges in the word.

obviously there are those who go for records and adventure. there is no denying that it's a great challenge on one's physical, emotional, psychological and financial standing. it's also for that great sense of achievement, accomplishment and success. the discipline and training to accomplish such a feat should go a very long way. and it's also great to apply it in one's life. self-discipline, i believe is one of the pillars of success and contribute a lot to one's happiness. and personally i think there are so many 'mount everests' in our lives. to conquer the highest mountain in the world is to be able to look down, to look at everyday problems and say "I CAN!"
