Yes. Getting to the top of the Imperial Mountain is a quest worthy of note even for heroes who live thousands of years and defeat armies. If I didn't scale the world like that, what would the heroes do after ten years?

Outer what?
- If you want to ignore physical laws thats great but I do have gravity in my game and air works on that premise.
There's no reason that gravity working as a constant requires air to be composed of "molecules" of various gasses pulled toward a body by its gravity, and with the atmosphere thicker on the bottom than the top. The air probably does get pretty thin up there, maybe not "outer space", but probably thin enough to kill any mortal. Luckily, the Exalted aren't strictly mortal. I'd imagine the Exalts who climb it can either hold their breath, survive on even the thin air at the top of the mountain, or somehow sidestep the need for air.

Survive what?

Commentary
"Everest is less than 2 miles high" is bullshit. It's more than 8 and a half kilometers above sea level, which translates into about 5 miles about sea level. (Checking WIKIPedia, it's 8850 meters or 29035 feet) - SRNissen
