A ticked ascent of one or the other? Rhapsody. Hands down.

The ability to shag E11 appeals to any climber, but to see the view from the top of the world...?

Everest.

If I were good enough to shag Rhapsody, I'd rather be off setting my own e10 and e11 routes in exotic places all over the world.

Doesn't matter how many people have been there; there's still only one highest point on our planet.

Actually, rather than either of those, I'd much rather try and lead shag all the climbs at stanage graded VS in the 1989 BMC guidebook in a day....

Strange. Some guy climbed 103 E1s or above in a day. So I don't think doing the vs mile would be much to shout about by comparison...

Has to be everest for me, for the pure adventure of it. What a place to be, regardless of whose been there before you.

MILF-Hunter. He'd have had to have climbed up and got back down every route in under a minute, so i think that's a safe no.

tommy's not one to follow crowds, even if they're leaving a burning building.

Everest would definitely be a good adventure and enourmous sense of achievement, but I would love to have all the technical and mental abilities involved to be able to shag Rhapsody, so I've gone for that.
