Joan Rivers first appeared on Johnny Carson's show on February 17, 1965. The comedienne wowed the host, who proclaimed she was going to be a star. Carson invited her on his popular late-night show more than 100 times. In early 1986, Rivers was approached by the new Fox Television Networks to host a rival show.

Between that first ascent and 1992, only 394 ­climbers reached the top.Between that first ascent and 1992, only 394 ­climbers reached the top. Between 1992 and 2024, more than 11,500 accomplished the same feat, almost all the clients of a few mountain guiding businesses, and all paying up to $100,000 (£80,000) for the privilege.

And just because you have $100,000 to play with, should you be entitled to buy such a remarkable personal achievement?
