There really needs to be more talk of this. It's such a taboo topic and I know I'm not the only one who hasn't done the climb.

1,2,3, Ask away!

I know this is going to sound shocking to some of you but I'm going to be brave and truthful and tell you that it just seems too dangerous, far, time-consuming and difficult for me.

There. I said it.

ETA: I also never quite had an interest in doing so.

I think I know you. Did you go to Binas seminary? If yes, was Half-Arthur one of your roomies?

Do you think this shows a lack of ambition on your part?

Excuses!

You could be there in back in time for Pesach cleaning! And only 4% of people die making the attempt.

Please do NOT discuss this publicly. You can ask the mods for my SN if you really want and PM me. Also, keep in mind I may have changed a few details to protect my privacy.

That's why this is anonymous. And most people in real life don't know this about me. It's obviously not something I bring up in daily conversations.

Possibly. Or a lack of love for dangerous thrills. Something I should bring up with my therapist, for sure.

When I was about eight, we climbed a fairly steep hill, and my father told me that climbing Everest was just more of the same. He assured me that it wasn't difficult, and maybe we would do it when I was a teenager.

He lied.
Or maybe exaggerated.
Or was just being a father!
We never even climbed Ben Nevis.

Hugging your post because you clearly need serious help. Someone should report OP to the mods

Surprised OP, I’m in awe of your honesty. Most people don’t openly admit to their mistakes and to do that publicly!! Ok, you’re anonymous but Yael can figure it out. That’s one thing I’d never admit to. Just writing those words on the internet would have me quake in fear of being identified and eventually harassed for generations.
Anyway, here’s my question. How do you sleep at night with such guilt?

What has our world come to??
For all those who say we do not live in a weaker generation, let me point you to this post
I'm not trying to bash you by saying mean things to your face (screen?) I'm just trying to open your eyes to what a bad person you are

Ok fine, I thought we were friends, but I'll take your rude reply as a forgiveness of the debt of free lunch I owed you. I will not be asking for your SN or PMing you. Nor will I be contacting you again in person. I'm sorry it came to this but with friends like you, who needs a whole war in the Middle East?

I’m so grateful that you’re bringing more awareness to this and helping to take away the stigma. You’ve given me the courage to post under my sn that I haven’t either 🫣
