For the longest time, I wanted to be the first person to play golf on Mount Everest.

So imagine how my heart broke the day I learned about Robert Vaughan, the Dallas man who did it back in 2007. I felt the heartbreak of losing, the way only a true champion can feel. And then, like a champion, I pulled myself through it, and focused on a new goal. Being the first person to play Wii Golf on Everest.

Of course, owning this Intec 15-in-1 Wii Accessory Kit with Mini Backpack is going to help a lot. But did Michael Jordan play in cheap sneakers? At the level he played at, equipment matters, and at the level I’ll be playing at, having so many options will matter to me, too.

Like, what if I’m too frostbitten to snap the Golf club attachment onto my controller? In that situation, I could fall back to the baseball bat, or maybe get a Sherpa to attach the additional grips for extra support. And what if I’m too oxygen-starved to manage a decent swing? Maybe using the tennis racket attachment won’t matter to the game, but I’m sure it’ll make it easier to hit the ball in my mind. And let’s face it, on top of Mt. Everest, it’s all going to be about the mind game.

If my controller dies, I’ll have the Wii Glow Stand Dual Charge Docking Station and two rechargeable battery packs ready to go. Plus if I need to kill and eat a rival climber, I’ll have the Nunchuk attachment to take them out with. There’s no law up there after all. It’s every climber for himself. Or herself. Don’t think I’ll be gender-specific when I’m starving to death. I’ll kill and eat on a strictly unbiased basis.

Maybe I’m not ready to make that climb just yet, but when I am, I’ll have my Intec 15-in-1 Wii Accessory Kit with Mini Backpack packed and ready to go. And then, Robert Vaughn, then YOU’LL see how it feels.
