"Are you planning on climbing it?
Yeah going to do smaller ones first, planning snowdon atm"
You'll need to climb a hell of a lot more than Snowdon to even attempt Everest. Expedition leaders generally won't accept climbers unless they have previous 8000m climb experience. |

I did the National three peaks last year, in a heat wave! Even Ben was boiling!
I was reading an article this morning about how they’re going to start charging £30000 to climb Everest because it’s becoming overcrowded and it’s difficult to retrieve bodies from there. A high percentage of people died due to overcrowding.
Apologies for the morbid thoughts. Be an awesome experience but Ben Nevis was my limit! |

"Base camp is on my to do list. Found a company that does it for a reasonable price, but it's the kit list that is the killer.
"
There are good hire options out there now.
My fella did a lot of beg, steal, and borrowing. Then got home and said he didnt use half of it. |

You climbed three in one day? 
They always say it but I doubt they would, mt everest is a business for the sherpas..
I find it cool theres still bodies on the mountain a reminder of how fragile we are |

Because the challenge was available at the time, and he'd not done anything like it before |

"Has anyone on here been?
Want to go soon"
Nepal is a fantastic destination, Everest is over popular, you could consider Annapurna. Either way fantastic country and people. Do it, Kathmandu is a sensory overload |
