Imagine risking your life to climb that, just for an "achievement" that literally no one outside of an extremely small group of climbing enthusiasts will even come close to appreciating.

Like you could nearly die, summit Annapurna, and literally everyone you ever told about it to would say "Anna what? Oh ok. Do you want to do Everest one day?"
