    I met a guy who climbed everest about 6 years ago who told me there are even ultra expensive prostitutes who live in base camp, ranging in price from 700-5k/hour. Their tents are near the party tent. Wealthy people hanging out anywhere for 2 months straight are gonna have that stuff, but they've also got to keep it hush hush because prostitution is super illegal in Nepal.

    Her reply:
    Interesting video. Pretty much right on except for when I was there we didn't have any Wi-Fi or any phone service it was much more remote feeling no such thing as beds and beautiful tents with workstations. I called you from a satellite phone twice during my whole time there because it was $8 a minute we talked on Mother's Day at least I talked to you you were young and couldn't comprehend at the time but I told you how much I loved you and I was going to be as safe as possible and I have to tell you I turned around because I knew you were at home and there was a possibility of me not making it because of a storm coming in.

      That being said, it does cost money to fly in and hike out. But there's a lot of cost involved in that month at base camp as well. In looking it up on the interwebs, it costs between 1.2k and 2.5k to get from Katmandu to base camp; (Add in another 2k for plane tickets from the USA?).

    Everest is the tallest mountain only if you use sea level as a baseline. If you measure from the mountain's base to peak, then Mauna Kea in Hawaii takes the honor at 33,497 feet, most of which is below sea level.
    When considering the difference between "tallest" and "highest," and using the center of the Earth as your point of reference, then Chimborazo in the Andes has the highest peak at 3967 miles.

      Also, Everest is just one peak among others jutting out from the Tibetan plateau.
      The actual tallest mountain-measured from nearby lowlands to its summit-is _Denali_ in Alaska.
