I've never "climbed" before but I am definitely interested in trying it out. I read Into Thin Air a long while back and was struck by the willpower and the comiraderie of the climbers.
Is it not regulated as to how many people can be on the Mountain at once? I imagine you need a govt permit and that such a permit isn't cheap, right? I know we had to purchase one to hike to Machu Picchu and they only issued a certain number of them.
