I've had one of the most frustrating Google searches of my life today.

I've been trying to a list or blog of bucket list accomplishments considered to be hard:

An example, climbing Everest, completing a phd, running 100 milers.

I'm just curious of whats out there and is considered some really hard things that most people dont achieve.

As Teddy Roosevelt mentioned, live the strenuous life.

You would not believe how hard this is to google search. There's literally no searches returning what I'm looking for. Someone help me out here.

I'm serious. Try googling a list of hard life accomplishments ala Mount Everest.

To my dismay there's literally nothing on google relating to what i'm attempting to search. The only thing close is the impossible list.

Lots of people climb Everest. Even more get PhDs. You need to aim higher. Pick something that's hard but not impossible. You know, like, "Get Jamin a second date"?

PS Seriously, though: It took me 15 seconds to get several pages of exactly the lists you want. (Hint: I didn't include "shallow" as a search term.)

Climbing Everest is expensive but easy. Climbing K2 is also expensive but way more difficult. Real climbers can see the huge difference between both.

climb the highest peak on all five continents.
run a marathon (or a sub-4 mile) in every country.
climb El Capitan solo.
walk to the north or south pole, or both, unaided.
run across mainland Europe - Westernmost point. Cabo da Roca (9° 29' W), Colares, Portugal; Easternmost point. (debatable, but a common option is): an unnamed 545 metre peak at 68°18′N 66°37′E, the Eastern most point of the Ural Mountains watershed. the distance is approximately 3,400 miles or 5,500 km.
walk the Appalachian Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail in the same calendar year.
row across the Pacific Ocean.
bicycle the entire length of the Americas - Northernmost point. Murchison Promontory (Zenith Point), Canada 72° 0′ N 94°38′ W. Southernmost point. Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina (-55° 04′ S -66° 44′ W). for a slightly easier option that misses out the Darien Gap, you can just do North America and finish at Punta Mariato, Panama 7°12′ N 80°53′ W.

cheers.

Trying to become an athlete in your 20s.

Now I get why people do not like NCAA and why soccer athletes in the US are bad in comparison to international competition. It’s bexause we send our soccer athletes to college and they graduate when they’re 22-23. Think basketball and how much time is wasted on college for really good basketball players.

Of course we get the college experience at the cost of being mediocre athletes. However, we get an education compared to England footballers who join clubs at 17/18.

Can I become a professional soccer player in the US? I think so. The revenue generated in MLS is 90 million compared to 4.5 billion generates in the Premier League. Since soccer/football is an entertainment profession - that’s what’s I believe - I solely think there’s a chance for me to make it as long as I use skill and have a sports personality.

Someone get the Ballon d’Or at age 33, which means they’re the best player in soccer in that year of 2018. So it’s not too late for me to become one, but the career has the expiration date like milk.

The thing is that some things will be difficult to different people.

Write and publish a book. Not a poem, not a short story, but a book.

Completing a 100 miler would be difficult, but I don't believe it's outside of the realms of possibility for most healthy and fit adults. Especially if jogging and walking is involved.

Visit all 7 continents.

Go to the north pole and the south pole.

Get a letter published in a newspaper.

Live in the wild for a week.

Race 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500 and 3000 in one track meeting. Plus the hurdles. So all track events.

High jump more than your height.

Learn to ride a BMX.

Travel on foot to your nearest land barrier.
