Pay $40K and an experienced guide and sherpas will drag your sorry arse as far up Everest as you can go before your body gives up or you summit. People have died on the mountain because of the human traffic jams caused by slow and unprepared 'climbers' at the choke points above C5. Pay even more and you can be a race driver. Hemmingway would not have wanted to live in this time.
How do you know? He never summited Everest. Perhaps he would have written something good after having experienced that perspective. Look what he did with a Sunday spent fishing...
