given the time and money (ability needed to jug up some sherepa-fixed lines while sucking 02 is pretty minimal) i would rate everest as pretty low on my list of things to do. i'd rather go to the karakoram, siguniang or garwhal with that much $$ and free time. there are also other people here who, apparently unlike you, danielle and annabelle, have enough imagination to think beyong a puff piece tick list.
fuck rainier and denali too.
