Some numbers:
Mera Peak 6,476m tall (21,247 ft) - which is 3,338 of me stood on top of each other.
Located in the Himalayas in Nepal. At that altitude there is 46% of the oxygen available at sea level. You need to drink 3-4 litres of water a day to avoid getting dehydrated. Temperatures can drop as low as -25C.
It was first climbed in 1953. Technically, it's classified as a trekking peak which, hopefully, means less opportunities for me to stab myself with crampons or my ice axe but the last day will all be on snow and ice.
