Seriously though, her husband must've been a weak willed piece of poo poo to just agree and let her spend $50-60k just so she can climb the world's tallest mountain even though she has literally zero experience. There's comprising in marriages and then there's "gently caress no I will not be a party to your death wish". That he didn't even fight her on it and tell her to climb some other smaller mountains first means he was either as dumb as her or completely cowed by her.

Why do you think she married him?

Ugggghhh, that's just... no. No way. It's not even scenic, it's just mushing yourself through tight spaces looking at your tanks.

I seem to remember (possibly from two different shows) where they take a guy to simulated cruising altitude, depressurize, and have him take off his oxygen until he can't do simple tasks. I think that was one about executions. Then another show, similar deal with a sherpa, takes off his oxygen at altitude, gives no fucks. Pretty cool to see it in action like that.
