I am of the very grumpy clan. Let's face it.. we of the old clan gained wisdom from surviving our many not so bright ideas. It is not the great success that guides our pathways. It is the number of bright ideas that came up zero or negative. I know that nature and reality attack full on when people plan a noble idea. My wishes are for him to learn by attempting his Mt. Everest. He may learn far more from continuing to completion in spite of some slips and failures that he would with the hypothetical crown of glorious achievement. Much thought needs to be given to safety and emergency recovery. I may think he's crazy, but he's young and an 80 year old just topped out on Everest last week. In a year he will be a fine mime and his Everest attempt will be in the book of experience. Contribute as you chose. My donation is in. Maybe this will be better than my buying etoys stock when it was tanking.
