Mount Everest

I was roommates with a Nepalese man who told me countless tales of the famed Mount Everest. He would tell me about the sherpas and their hunger for helping the white man. I heard stories of people longing for the satisfaction that comes with climbing an unclimbable mountain. Also, get this, there's nothing up there. I for sure thought there would be, like, a starbucks or something, but no. It's literally just the tip of the mountain. Why would you put yourself through that?
