Many of us have our own Bucket Lists — things that we’ll accomplish before we die. Sometimes meaningful. Sometimes requiring skill to achieve. Sometimes outlandish.

Also far too easy to, dare I say, buy a trip to the top.

In fact, anyone who exclaims that they summited Mt. Everest is either full of shit, or full of ego. But I repeat myself.
