Climbing there is done for money....something along the lines of 100,000 USD per person for the permit to go for the summit. At least then this could be the ultimate Tour Ride Ticket....at least in cost.

That summit fee figure comes from a professional photographer who spent three months filiming there and was deprived of the climb to the top when his permit got sold to mitigate expenses.

I wonder how much Eurocopter had to shell out for the permit?
