It's like waiting in line for your 13 seconds to take a photo with Joe Celebrity, except it's a mountain.

Mt Everest was once an exceedingly motivated, over achieving individual.

A 40-year-old British fitness fanatic and his 23-year-old guide are missing after an ice mound swept them off the northern slope of Mount Everest on Tuesday.
Daniel Paul Paterson and his Sherpa guide Pas Tenji Sherpa had reached the summit early Tuesday morning, but disaster struck during their descent: An ice collapse near the South Summit knocked the climbers down.
“Eyewitnesses reported the incident took place between Summit Ridge and South Summit and some climbers were swept away in Kangshung Face,” Lakpa Sherpa of 8K Expeditions posted on social media. The missing pair was part of a 15-member team with 8K Expeditions.

Crowders Mountain, and I couldn't have made it there without the aid of my trust sherpa Donnie Ray Kechum from Bessemer City carrying the Igloo cooler full of longneck Miller High Life up those treacherous slopes. I'm also quite proud of the fact that neither of us used oxygen canisters in our ascent.

I once attempted Crowders in the rain without a guide.
I still have nightmares about the dangers

then hike another couple hundred yards to the summit. Weekends a shuttle can take you up, or you can walk the road to top, easier than the trail.
