Why do you climb Mt Everest, study looks at the reasons and does not come up with the best of man kind’s motivation for some.
Posted: March 10, 2011 | Author: Recreation Law | Filed under: Mountaineering |
Study shows that climbers who pay to summit do not have the same team philosophy as other climbers.
The study found “…finds that people who pay for transformative experiences often lack the communitarian spirit that usually defines such activities.”
The authors stated that the climbers experienced forced companionship rather than developing any communal relationships with the other climbers.
The study was published in The Journal of Consumer Research Publication, 1974-2011 (Vols. 1-37), published by The University of Chicago Press.
For a summary of the study see: Climbing Mount Everest: Noble Adventure or Selfish Pursuit?
