Some might say mountaineering is rather egotistical and pointless, (other than for the individual concerned) and to some extent I concur. I find nowadays I need a more worthy motivation than the personal ambition of standing on a piece of real estate five miles high in the sky.
If my summit of Everest can assist the hundreds of street kids in Kenya who are being educated and assisted through my charity, and enable funding for the hospitals, schools, orphanages and monasteries that I have built over the years to continue, then I would consider it worthwhile.
