Mt. Everest
There is no easy way to clime this mountain, they described the mental toughness you need to have. You have to tell yourself that the pain you go through is fun, that’s the only way to tackle each steep. You have to realise that your on a mountain that climed 8 lives in one day. You also have respect for it but also have to convince yourself that your tougher then it and it cant beat you. By this picture from crevasse in the Khumbu Icefiled, Napal, by reading this artical you can see that its not the same mountain twice.
When you climb this mountain you don’t have to go through just the physical pain but if you fail the financial pain. Here’s just the rough easement.
