Just last week,Watch When Women Play Golf Online I had a great conversation with a Manhattan taxi driver named Sherpa, who, after I asked if his name was connected to Nepal, told me that he had indeed stopped working on Mount Everest to live in New York City. Smiling, he suggested I visit the famed (and quite dangerous) mountain one day, to which I replied, "I'm a fragile city guy, maybe one day I'll visit it in virtual reality."
Days after that conversation (yes, it really happened), it turns out that there is, in fact, an incredibly realistic Mount Everest VR experience that launched for the Oculus Rift.

There's also a "God Mode" that does away with the climbing aspect and lets you tour Everest using teleportation. The best part of this feature is that it allows you to change the size of your virtual body, giving you varying views.

Everest VRis available now for $14.99 on Oculus Home and on Steam for the HTC Vive.
