The Wikipedia entry for #MountKailash has a section with the title: #mountaineering.
In that section, there is an entry: "#ReinholdMessner was given the opportunity by the Chinese government to #climb in the mid-1980s. But he declined, saying 'If we conquer this mountain, then we conquer something in people's souls.'"
I love that.
I don't believe the peak has ever been climbed, and given its holy status (Buddhists consider Mt. Kailash to be the center of the earth) that's as it should be.
