This is a picture of the crowd climbing Mt. Everest. Climbing Everest is no longer just for dedicated climbers — it’s on a lot of people’s bucket list. I’m glad it isn’t on mine!
Do you have a bucket list?

Do you have a bucket list?
May 24, 2019
no bucket list here, and if I did have such a list, Mt Everest isn’t ever going to be on it…
Of course, I have some “regrets” of not doing various things through my life, but mostly now I’m happy with what I have achieved…always find it funny when people ask me about certain eras in my life, particularly before I married. I’m well travelled particularly in the late 1960s…
I don’t have a bucket list either. I love my life.
No bucket list here, either. I basically did what I wanted when I wanted so nothing left to crave.
I did a lot of traveling when I was young and I’m glad. Things were a lot less crowded then, and the dollar went a lot further. I have no urge to travel now.
Nope, I don’t have a bucket list. If I make lists I tend to have a hard time deciding where to start and so don’t accomplish anything on the list at all. I can tell you that if I did have one, climbing Mt. Everest wouldn’t be on it.
I never have To Do lists. I have Possibility Lists. I just pick the one that appeals to me most. The important thing is to have some fun things on the list.
I just read an article that used that same photo. It was about two climbers who died waiting in what they called “a traffic jam” up there. Apparently the wait can be as long as 12 hours just standing there and 17 people have died waiting recently. Not my idea of a good time.
agree M of W “of a good time” – but maybe it was the very last item on their bucket list – of course we will never know….I can’t quite get my head around that whole sacred place being overrun with “traffic” … I heard that the garbage is causing a lot of problems as well (where has bring it in, take it out with you scenario -gone)
The article I read said one hiker died while waiting to go up, the other two were on their way down and they didn’t know what happened. Ben Fogle, the fellow who tweeted about it, said they need to start limiting the people, maybe have a lottery for permits. That makes sense to me.
I’ve also read about the garbage problem, Catherine. Some of our national parks are having overcrowding, garbage problems, too. It’s sad.
No bucket list for me either and certainly no desire to wait in line for something on anyone else’s. Mount Everest has fascinated me, but I’ve never desired to go there.
High altitudes are a challenge. We plan to visit some of Colorado’s highest country in September, but will take our time getting there, with several days in the mountains along the way before we get there.
Unfortunately, much of the world’s favorite destinations are overcrowded with visitors these days.
That’s smart to take it easy. Kaitlin always gets a headache the first couple of days here because of the altitude. We’re at 7200 feet down here, almost 8900 where the house is.
oh good grief. I can’t think of anything good to say about this.
must we foul everything we can just because we can? ridiculous.
Just another example of too many people. So what else is new? The population is still growing, and at some point something is going to shrink the numbers. It won’t be pretty.
I don’t even no were my bucket list is.
Coffee is on
I think life is more fun without one. 🙂
No bucket list for me either! Life is just to busy (and happy). I used to be very interested in travelling, and did a lot of it. Thank goodness that’s over! Now I can just enjoy the good things about every day.
