I had a teacher in High School who climbed Everest, he was your prototypical braggart. Every conversation had his Everest climb woven into, to the point it was absurd and people were sick of hearing about the stupid mountain. This was 20 years ago when it was still somewhat of a rare feat. He crystallized the idea in me that people do it for the ego and bragging rights.

Edit: Apparently my memory is fading, I talked about this crap 7 years ago when this thread was created.
