It’s Really Expensive
Foreigners must by an $11,000 permit to even attempt the climb. Going with a guide can cost up to $100,000 or even more. This includes costs of travel, gear, and equipment.

Extreme conditions aside, the climb is a tough one. You need to be extremely fit to even begin to think about attempting the climb. This is what prevents most people from ever seriously considering climbing Mount Everest.
