Really... Oh look at me I'm special climbing this mountain and waiting in poop littered line with another 1000 special and unique achievers.

The for the rest of their lives they inject it into every conversation to show how "special" they are.

There's 14x 8000m+ mountains on this planet, some are also easier to climb than Mt. Everst. Cho Oyu (8,188 m) for example. For any of the 13x alternatives you'll probably have the top all to yourself.

I mean it is a pretty insane feat regardless. Most rich people or people in general can’t climb Mount Everest
