While not exactly a holiday destination per-se, having seen pictures of people literally waiting in line to get to the trash pile at the peak of Mt. Everest is such a turn-off that I'd skip it even if I was a true mountaineer.

Had a guy in one of my grad school courses who always found a way to shoehorn in the fact that he'd summited Everest not just once, but TWICE! 🙄 Climbing Everest just strikes me as rich person bragging rights, and it isn't even that impressive given that a lot of the people who do it pay porters to carry their supplies and dig their latrines.
