  6. Climbing Everest has become more tourism than adventure. Real adventure is becoming much more difficult these days. Read about the search for the Nile's source, and you will see what I mean.

    1. Good book. Also recommend Jim Wickwire's "Addicted to Danger".
      I've summited Mt. Shasta and that's enough for me. Absolutely no desire to ever go above 18,000 ft. (the death zone).
