Sparks of interest

Hi community! My names Will, I’m 18. For years I’ve thought about what it would be like to climb Mt Everest, recently it has become an obsession. With that goal in mind I am seeking answers to topics that have stood fast in my mind for some time. The question are as follows;

  1. The extent of training and preparation

  2. To what level of mountaineering experience would I need?

  3. What physical/mental state I should be in

Some background for those questions, I am young and fit, many hiking experiences with my father through the Alps and the Lake District, keen runner and cyclist. Moreover I have basic cadet training and a determined mindset instilled within me from young.

Any further questions, feel free to reply or message me :)
