hey andrew,
just my 2-cents thoughts on your topic.
i asked myself the same question a few months back. why would i want to do this? my friends think i am nuts. i feel that i need a challenge that i will remember for the rest of my life. whether i succeed or fail is entirely different matter. the point is, i live up to the challenge, and hopefully i'll succeed.
y take on the 7-summits? cuz money cant buy u success on the 7-summits. money only buy u a chance to climb the 7-summits. ultimately its u....your physical self that have to complete the task.
u can be a millionaire with all the money in the world, but u may still not able to complete the 7-summits. on the other hand, u can be earning just an average sum. but with dedication, hard work, and sponsorship, u can be on top of the world

its a great adrenaline rush.....the kind of feeling u get after a long run. u will be exhausted, but the reward is unbelieveable.
may the Force be with you
