CLIMBING EVEREST

Mt. Everest has always facinated me, being the tallest mountain above sea level at over 29,000 ft. Most likely I would climb the Southeast Ridge, in May before the monsoon season. I want to climb it before I am 30 and I am currently 21, so I need to get to it! Sponsorship will be needed as training, equipment, and a guide will probably amount to over $100,000. I have the opportunity to work in Africa and in one of my trips I would like to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, to get ready for climbing Everest. Just thought all of you would want to know one of my ambitions in life. And I would also like to hear feedback of what everyone thinks of this or of their climbing experiences.
