I think climbing Mt. Evertest is not your life. Because that is alot of money to climb and you might want to do something else befor you die. In the moive I heard alot of people died. So that is why I think it is not for the cost.

I think that climbing mount Everest should not be your life because even If you make it to the top you could get frost bite and have your leg, hands, fingers,or,toes.Plus you need to raise 40,000 dollars just to climb to the top where are you going to get the money to do that.I know for a fact I would never climb mount everest,besides my horses would miss me.that is why i will never climb mount everest ever in my life.It would be cool to go see mount everest though.

I think climbing Mt. Everest is worth the cost. I think the experience would be.... I don't think you could words to it. Even though the cost is 40 THOUSAND DOLLARS I would love to see the view from up there. (If I had the courage.) It would feel as though I removed the bricks from my shoulders. I don't know if I could gather enough courage to do it. But if I could I totally start saving money... now! I might take a picture from up there, but who cares if I don't have finger tips. I 'm very coordinated with my toes too, ya know! Like I said I would like to climb Mt. Everest if I could.

I dont agree that clambing Mt. Evertest is worth your live. You can't celebrate if your died. Also you could spend you money on something that has less danger in it. If you whant to do this befor you die[like the man on the show] save up money to pay your funeral frist and make sure your love ones know you love them. That is way I think climbing Mt. Evertest is not worth it.

I don't think climbing mt.Everest is worth it. There are alot of reasons,like you have to pay alot of money,or you can loose lims just to fulfill your dream,and you can get sick from being too high up too fast,and you will miss your family, lastly you can die and I dont think climing to the top of everest is worth your life.

I think climbing Mt.Everest would not be worth the cost because it could 51% kill you near the peak of Mt.Everest.But about 49% it could give you frost bite to you hands,feet, toes,legs, and face.And another thing is you have to pay 40,000 dollars to be able to climb Mt.Everest.But you could even have to amputated on. =( But i do not know how people can risk it because they give up 40,000 dollars to climb Mt.Everest and dont care if they die!!! But some people want to climb it but not die and they are never seen again or they never return home to their family!But i would rater not do it with all the injuries and deaths that could happen.But climbing Mt.Everest is not my life but it could be anybody's life but not mine.That is why i think it would not be the cost to climb Mt.Everest.

I think Mt.Everest is not worth the cost because you can lose your life get frost bite and trust me i want to have 10 fingers and 10 toes and because i want to grow old and die old not by frost bite
OWWWWWWWW!!!!

I think that Mount Everest isnt worth your life.Or having your leg amputated. But i bet the people that risk there life climbing Mount everest really want to see the beatiful site. You also need 40 thousand dollars just to climb it. Which i think is ALOT of money. So take my advice and dont risk your life!!!
