I mean, that’s like saying killing yourself isn’t hard to do. You probably don’t need “crampons” (whatever that is) to do. But why is it that more/most people don’t commit suicide? Because it’s genuinely hard to do. Every evolutionary single is telling you not to do it. The same goes for Everest. Whether something is hard or not doesn’t depend on training or dedication or whatever. It depends on how likely you are to do it. To give a more extreme example: how hard is it to cut off and eat your own finger? By your standards, it sounds pretty easy (no crampons required). But actually going through with it requires such force of will that only a few would ever be capable of such a feat.
