... one of our anniversaries, we’re going! 10th? 20th? 25th?

Climbing Mt. Everest is a “classic” life goal, but I have a (healthy?) fear of death that makes me want to set a more realistic goal. I would like to travel to base camp at Everest and volunteer/work for the teams that are actually attempting to reach the peak.

In this way, I can say that I’ve been on Everest, that I have participated in climbs of Everest, and (I think) performed a valuable service to those who are try to reach the summit.

As a side goal, I have heard stories about the large amounts of trash that get generated by climbing teams/camps. I would like to help out in the effort to reduce that trash, as well.
