Everest to the point where the climb becomes a serious technical climb...just because it would make a great story. (not this trip-so I'd really be older than dirt by next year) However, some of you might actually want to climb Mt. Everest and I came across a GPS waypoint map that might be useful to you. Here are the links: http://www.travelbygps.com/guides/everest/everest.php#one http://www.aqpk57.dsl.pipex.com/ Having come too close to being fossilized in one of Mt. Rainier's glaciers as a young man, I won't do anything foolish ;)

Otherwise, Everest is a gigantic grunt. As for me, I would be happy getting to base camp at around 18000 feet.
