No to get to the top you dont really need to be climber  - as it doesnt require much technical climbing ability you just need plenty of £££££££££££££££, and be pretty fit 

other lower mountains eg K2 require much more technical climbing ability and isnt called the widowmaker for nothing 
Pretty sure very experienced climbers have died on Everest by falling while trying to climb certain parts?

He's training for months at this lark in Galway and the wife and baby at home in Brisbane LOL

And then another 3 months at sea 

There’s an element of being in awe at his mental strength and understanding that people need challenges in life but then also thinking he’s a selfish c*nt. His missus is a very understanding partner.

'Everest's decline blamed on trail of rich tourists



Luke Harding in Kathmandu
Guardian Weekly

The son of Tenzing Norgay, the sherpa who, along with Sir Edmund Hillary, was the first to climb Mount Everest, criticised novice climbers last week and said that 50 years after his father's epic ascent the world's highest mountain had "lost its spirit of adventure".

Jamling Tenzing, who climbed Everest in 1996, said that his late father would have been shocked to discover that rich thrill-seekers with no climbing experience were now routinely reaching the summit.

"You still have to climb this mountain yourself with your feet. But the spirit of adventure is not there any more. It is lost. There are people going up there who have no idea how to put on crampons. They are climbing because they have paid someone $65,000," he said. "It is very selfish. It endangers the lives of others."

His outburst comes as Nepal embarks on elaborate celebrations of the 50th anniversary of Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's historic achievement on May 29, 1953.'
