Would you climb Mount Everest in the Winter by yourself for $10 billion?

If your trip and climb were all expense paid.

You aren't exactly the yellowest banana in the toolbox, now are you?

Would I be going alone?

If I was I would just walk up the mountain out of site of the person offing me the $10 billion. Photoshop an image of me standing at the summit and come back a few weeks latter and claim my money.

I'd do it for 2 Billion. Survival in extreme cold is very possible, but only if you plan ahead. Given the conditions - its a doable climb. Treacherous but definitely possible. I'd want a year to prep though.

The key is I want the deal locked in stone, the funds in various trusts so that there is no possibility of a "fast one".

All I can say on this is:

Show me the money - I'll get it done.

I would climb mount Everest for 1 million, 2 billion I would climb that mountain in my underwear if they asked me too. Seriously for 2 billion who wouldn't its a high risk but if training was involved and you got the very best equipment/clothing then why not take that risk. And if you died on the mountain well at least your be preserved for centuries or until they find a way to bring a frozen dead body back to life.

If all expenses would be paid I would blow the damned thing up, then walk onto the highest area of the pile and get 10 billion bucks.

Not a shabby idea Penguin.

Nah, ten billion is nice, but climbing Everest in the winter by myself = suicide.

So, basically the question is - Would you commit suicide for ten billion dollars?
