I was reading about Green Boots just a few months ago. Google him and it pops right up.

Doesn't interest me at all. As far as dying... Seems like there's more fun ways to kick off than freezing and/or asphyxiating on a tall rock.

I would definitely have a crack at it if there was a bowhunting opportunity involved on the mountain, climbing for no reason just to say I did it isn't my idea of fun.

Only if there was a herd of 400”+ class bull elk at the top and a tag in my pocket lol. I don’t hike just for the sake of hiking. To me hiking, climbing, etc, it’s a means to an end, and if I don’t want what’s at the other side bad enough I ain’t going.

I like air too much so you wont find me climbing to the top of anything where their isn't any. Same goes for exploring uncharted caves or going to the moon. I will cheer the rest of you on and be in complete awe [of your stupidity]

Now those are two things I would do. Spelunking, is fun. I've done that before but as a real novice and I would go to the moon if I had the chance in a heartbeat.

No.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Did anyone watch the first video I posted? Just wondering. I don't know how that guy made it across with the brass balls he's carrying!

Not much up on either I really want, though I have been to the lower slopes of Everest on the Chinese side going any further has no real appeal to me, like said nothing up there I want or want to see or do, there are places and things more important that I want to see or do

So no

I don't like going up and down the stairs at home, so no, no white knuckling frozen rocks just to climb to my gravesite.

Yes I would if I had the chance.
And I'd do it at my age and my currant health
It would be an experience beyond words
