Everest is not only the tallest mountain in the world it is one of the most difficult to scale. The first known successful attempt was in 1953. And what was once only possible for the wealthiest, has become the goal for anyone who wants to train for and attempt this feat. It is no coincidence that around this time people were starting to look for formattable challenges, as the industrial revolution eased the work load for many people, making jobs less physical. That, plus politics and peer pressure is contributing to making us a pampered, soft, society, with doctors and the drug industry offering us more years of life with less quality.

Mt. Everest is a metaphor for the last half of life. When you commit to this challenge, you commit to the training, the learning, listening to the Sherpa’s, and climbing until you cannot climb anymore. You might reach the summit and you might not. After reaching the summit after many attempts, you might even die on the way down. But you will have had a purpose, a reason for all the training, and you will have surely died a warriors death. A reason for going through pain, no regrets, no guilt, no lingering, just satisfaction and on to whatever is next.
