If every 17 year had access to the money that would enable them to gallivant around the globe climbing mountains - they'd been on Everest too.

What makes her so special? BFD.

I'm almost a doctor! Maybe I will have enough to attempt this mountain, but not until I pay off my loans!

Forgive me, she has earned her right to be proud, it's an incredible feat for someone her age/size. But frankly, gra8fuldrew also has a point. Compared to some peaks (K2 anyone?), Everest is not that technical a climb. If you have the money, you can pretty much buy your way up nowadays. Still, it's an incredible thing to do in it's own right. Definitely many congratulations to this girl.

Money gets you a spot in an expedition and supplies but no one caries you up the mountain, so I can't see how you can say "you can buy your way up". It's always a huge gamble to climb that high, some people drop dead in the basecamps.

And since this girl has been climbing since she was a little girl I'd think she's pretty darn good at it by now.
