Another Outlet for My Reality Obsessed Self

if fear were not an issue, and neither was time or money, i would attempt to climb Mount Everest. Everest has always fascinated me- i have seen every documentary out there, read the books, watched the "live base camp" feeds that come down the mountain for us sitting in our cushy chairs to watch. Lots of stupid people have died. Lots of highly trained intelligent people have also died. It irritates me how all of these reporters think they can go climb, with little to no training and insist on summitting, and putting the guides, sherpas, other members of the team at risk. Its like they have come so far, paid their thousands and thousands of dollars, and it is prize. It is NOT a prize, it is a gift. not something you win, something you may or may not get to experience, mostly depending on the weather and your climatization and how your body reacts. all of it is fascinating to me. I never have climbed anything, unless you count a piddly mountain trail in NC and some bouldering in california, but that was more big flat rocks..

~ i dont like to be tired or worn out ( the most i do is a pilates class or strength weight class for an hour at the gym- if its a good day, i'll throw in 30 min of cardio afterwards)... i also very much would like to continue living. lots of selfish people have died, leaving their families behind, making this climb bigger and more important than life. that makes me sad. One huge mountain, lots of stories. If fear, money, time and training were not an option (HAHA kind of negates the whole question) i would be interested in Everest- maybe just even going to the base camp. thats far enough for me!!

if you knew no fear, what things would you do?

this blog question generator has me going. thanks C!! 3 posts in three days again....
