Everest climb
Highest peak ascent
An Everest climb is an attempt to summit Mount Everest, the world's highest peak.
The phrase often carries connotations of extreme difficulty, expense, and risk—both literal and figurative: Training for the Everest climb took two years, Getting this bill through Congress will be an Everest climb.
The climb has become a bucket-list adventure for wealthy thrill-seekers, sometimes controversially so given the mountain's dangers and environmental toll.
