blog: martin goes to mount everest
which of the most common risks of climbing mount everest would discourage you the most?
Published May. 11, 2008
On theWebEx site, I posted a poll that asked this question. Overall, out of the 29 people who voted, the most discouraging risks were: climbing over crevasses on ladders, and lack of oxygen, which each got about 41 percent of the votes. Unpredictable weather was the next, and the threat of avalanches got the least number of votes. I just put up a new poll today asking what would motivate you to climb Mount Everest. Guests can vote, so I want to know what you think! (There is a link to the WebEx page on the Martin homepage- http://martinms.wcpss.net/. Once you get to WebEx, click "Enter as a guest".)

Joking of course, but the thing with me, even if I were young and fit, and had that much money to spend on recreation, and was willing to be gone from my family that long, IS that I don't have the wanderlust or curiosity or desire to even want to make the climb or be there by any means. Climbing El Capitan would be more fun, but I don't want to do that either. the challenge of conquering nature isn't in me, I guess.
