I just don't have any interest in mountain climbing. A school days friend's Dad and former astronaut died on Everest in 1993 I believe. Karl Henize.
If legislation makes you equal, you aren't.

I've climbed Snowdon, a long time ago. That experience was enough to make me realise my limits!

Not my thing, climbing. I'm ok going up but coming back down is not good at all. I don't have a problem with heights, I used to train people to use cherry pickers capable of 72m or 225ft (for anyone who has been to British GP the big truck with the camera behind the pit grandstand) and I have no problem going up long ladders, but I get a bit wobbly when coming back down.
So, my short answer would be no thanks.:ninja: silent and deadly :ninja:

I could hardly climb the Carpathians, Everest would be too much. Besides, I find mountains quite boring.

IF I had the experience and skill level then I definitely would. After all, if I have the aformentioned qualities then climbing Everest would surely have been my lifelong goal.
