Trivial probably isn't the right way to put it. Check out this TED talk from a doctor who was up there in the 90s (warning: it's pretty intense):

It sure sounds like a lot of "fun". I wonder if the 13 year old has watched this?

I'd say you can bet he did, and a lot more material about climbing.

The doctor's reconstruction of what happened to the survivor's brain is, at most, shaky. But the overall story is great.
