Death at the Top
So. You are a mega-rich man, still in middle age or even youngish. In good shape. You have fought your way to the top. What better way to clinch the deal than to actually stand at the top. As in Mt. Everest. As in the earth's top spot.
Maybe you spend months in vigorous training. Maybe you are a slacker who knows your sherpa will get you there. Estimated cost? From $60,00 to $100,00 but you're not counting. Wait. What you have overlooked is that, in this lopsided time, there are too many of you. And, as your career climb should have taught you, Nepal will always welcome the crowd to their deadly playpen as they gleefully pocket the cash.
Nature smiles. The mountain shrugs.
