Mount Everest

i think ppl climb Mt. Everest because its quite possibly the ultimate test of physical/mental endurance..in some of the worst (for a human) conditions on the planet. not All successful climbers have been men..there have been a few woman. i know a couple of mountain climbers that when asked "do you want to climb mt. everest?" give you the "are you crazy" look and say a definate No! lol so not all climbers consider it a sign of fulfillment.
