Summary
Mountain climbers should not try to climb Mount Everest. Why not? For one thing, there’s a very high risk of serious injury or death. For another, they’re unlikely to have a “spiritual experience”—past climbers say they only felt exhaustion and fear.
Notable Assumptions
The argument explains the risks and lack of benefits from climbing Everest, but then jumps to the conclusion that climbers should not attempt the climb. This indicates an assumption that climbers should not attempt a climb with such great risk and such little reward.
The principle we’re looking for will articulate this assumption, telling us that if a climb is very dangerous and does not yield a spiritual benefit, then climbers should not attempt that climb.
