What's your ulimate adventure? Bungy jumping at Victoria Falls, Shark cage diving, sky diving, trekking to Everest Base Camp, epedition to Antartica....
There are a few fears I'd love to challege by doing what would be my ulitmate adventures. However shark cage diving would kill me. I think I'd have heart failure the second I was submerged in the water. The others however, I would seriously consider doing.
What are yours? Have you done them or working towards them?

1. Climb Mt. Everest
2. Thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail
3. Complete a few big-wall climbs in Yosimite.
I've already set a date for #2 (April 15, 2009) and I'm learning to ice climb this fall in order to start preparing for #1, which I hope to complete before I turn 30.
We'll see :P

1. Climb K2
2. Sail around the world and dive everywhere.
3. Base jump Cerro Torre.
4. Snowboard down Denali.
1.) Working towards climbing in the Himilayans in probably 2-4 years.
2.) Workign on making a lot of $$$ to afford it.
3.) Working on getting my skydiving license.
4.) 2 years.
I could actually go on forever. Too little time, too little money. Now I'm depressed.
BTW Rachael, I don't think you need to know how to ice climb to climb Everest, unless your attempting one of the relatively unused routes.

I guess I don't count paying someone $60,000 to guide me up as really "climbing Everest". Anyway, it's better to have the skills and not use them than be SOL in an emergency.

It sounds like the $2000 fee would be for summiting on the Tibet side. I believe the Nepalese govt raised their rates in the past few years closer to $10,000.

Mine would probably be climbing related - my skills are virtually non-existant now, but I do enjoy doing the canyoneering type things, and rappelling. I would need an experienced climber to do all of the ropes/gadget work for me though, so I'd have to do more of an organized climb with a guide.
Rafting trips would be fun too - I did a short daytrip on the CO river in Utah, but to be honest the rapids were pretty small. So something a little more energized would be fun. Or a combo of rafting, climbing, camping, and exploring canyons or other natural environments. If you've seen the Nile Imax movie, that trip looked super cool to me!!
I used to want to sky-dive, but now know my stomach is too weak and while I don't have the fear to do it, I definitely think puking on the way down would ruin the fun of it. ;-)
Also I used to think climbing one of the higher elevation mountains would be awesome, but I get altitude sickness, so will forgo those grand trips! I'll just have to stick to low-elevation adventures!!

I'd say:
Spending 3 months or more in asia
going to antartica
safari and traveling through Africa, namely Vic Falls, seeing some Silverback guerillas as well as Capetown
Last on my list is South America, I am really interested in seeing Manchu Picchu
I am hoping to do asia this year, 3 months will most likely be 3 weeks but hey its a start.

Kamchatka and Kuriles. Geysers, volcanoes, surf, shore, Ainu, Japanese, Russian, and absolutely zero tourist infrastructure. Watch out for the bears.

This is a really good question, I am not really sure what my ultimate adventure might be, but a couple of ideas:
*Hiking the entire Milford trail in New Zealand. Can't forget the obligatory Bungee jump too!
*Hiking/climbing in Ladakh (India)
*Some sort of outlandish Safari in Kenya.
...lol and seriously:
*Iran: I've always wanted to go there, why is it an aventure? Well it seems with all that Americans go through just to get a visa it ought to be. Iran originally had been a close second to Australia, I ditched the plan because of all the associated BS, let's hope that America in the meantime doesn't try to get its war on.

I believe that My Ultimate Journey would be to sail, yes sail, around the world a few times. The details are not so important as I believe that no matter what particulars one found, the experience would be mind changing.
It also has the perk of getting you within reach of a whole lot of places.....

Though, if price were no issue, I would have to say that I would in an instant agree to become the worlds first liberal space tourist!!!!
