With the right gear (so that I don't lose any extremities), and the money, and the time, and the training, yes, I would love to.

In reply to Sandrine: I once done 8000m on a rowing machine. All I lost was the feeling in my backside.
In reply to Keith Roughley: I was asked to go to Cho Oyu with mates a couple of years ago. £5000 all in with a reputable provider. Just as well I was overseas with work, cos even though I didn't exactly have the cash floating around, I was v tempted!

In reply to Keith Roughley: No, I'd rather climb something a bit more technical on a 6000m peak

Wouldn't spend $40k but I would love to do one of the lesser known ones you can do on a commercial expedition for £5k like Gasherbrum or Broad Peak.

I'd love to go, especially to the Karokaram

One of the things I want to do before I die, climb an 8000m peak, there's 250 over 7000m but only 14 over 8000m...

Yes, without a doubt. But not with some commercial package tour.
