Exciting trip ahead? Wanna join?

As I am having some spare time, I am planning to indulge in my passion of doing adventurous activities. So, next month, I, along with a friend of mine, have planned to climb Mount Everest.

In order to make it challenging, we are planning to climb Everest, tying our left hand behind our back. We were sure from the beginning that we want to do something different, so tying one hand behind is something we agreed upon. But the dispute came to decide which hand. After all, one has only two hands, and one hand to pick among the two.

The classic Nietsche-ian dilemma here is that, whereas I am left handed, my friend is woefully right handed. Woefully because, he uses right hand even for some things which traditionally required a left hand deployment. I am not such a bigot in use of hands and so I have allowed him to decide upon which hand to go behind our back in couple of days. After that, there would no further review. We are planning to meet up in Base camp sometime next month. One-handed climbing, boy, this is going to be fun!
