Have you ever thought of going to Mount Everest? Like, climbing to the top? No, me neither but I did want to have an adventure of a lifetime. However, there's one problem, I'm not in shape, I'm afraid of heights, I can barely run 1 mile...but I want to hike up to Everest Base Camp!Yes, you do not need any mountaineering skills but can I really make it up to 17,598 ft elevation? I don't know...but I am going to try! And I'm going alone, all my friends chickened out.Edit 1/20/13: There was a comment stating that the book had many grammatical errors. For this I apologize. I was working with a new editor and I did not adequately review his work. I will fix this ASAP.Edit 1/22/13: New editions with corrections is out.
