Is Everest hard to climb?

no…yes…sort of?

The funny thing about climbing Everest is there are people out there who have incredible climbing resumes that for whatever reason fail.

On the flip side, there are others out there that have very little climbing experience and entirely succeed.

But no matter what your background is, there is no substitute for doing the work. Whether you are wealthy and climbing just to brag about it or you are a dirt bag van climber who has dreamed about this forever-everyone is putting one foot in front of the other.

Everyone is doing the work.

This mountain would not be climbable if it were not for the Sherpas and it’s been like that since Edmund Hilary tagged the top with Tenzing Norgay in the 50’s.

So was Everest the most challenging climb of my life? No.

But was it easy? Get out of here with that shit.
