Default What's your dream climb?

If you could climb anywhere in the world and money, time and probabilities of success weren't an issue where would you climb? I have always found the prospect of climbing Mount Everest or something like that appealing.

Dream climbing is still a nightmare for me. But when I am awake, I can still walk/scramble uphill but anything steeper than that is back to nightmare.

I must be a bit strange because I can be a hundred feet up standing on a ledge no bigger than my finger and pause comfortably to look around at the scenery but 15' up in my tree stand I am not as comfortable.
No real dream climb, but I would like to do tenaya or cathedral peak in Tuolumne Meadows. There are still things I want to do at Seneca rocks, too.

I don't like climbing either but I do enjoy seeing photos from that viewpoint. I prefer to keep myself firmly on the ground. Gravity is a drag!

I'm no rock climber, but I've toyed with the notion of doing Seneca rocks on a guided climb. Probably never happen, since I'd rather spend the money on a canoeing or backpacking trip. Maybe if my retirement (Powerball ticket) comes thru.

I have heard of Ayers rock but I am not really sure where it is. How high is it? Charley I have to agree with you, I am not comfortable on top of a tall building but give me a rock and some beautiful scenery and I am all over it.
