The people there to climb didn't pick the option from a travel agent's brochure. The permit alone is $10,000, add the equipment, oxygen, food and Sherpa labor, you can top $100,000. But first high altitude training means months with no earned income before the climb begins. So someone making this attempt has a lot invested and probably won't have a second shot at it.
