Feel like that at all — its vast, its open. if anyone is dreaming of climbing everest, i think they should do it. it is notjust a rich persons sport. they should start climbing peaks closer to home and work their way up, claiming bigger and bigger mountains with harder terrain, and eventually find their way to the top of the world. the sherpas in the everest region are ready for tourists to come. i really hope that the people who want to go and climb mount everest really understand the signifi...
