Glory

The town is often beset by would-be climbers who hope that the act of visiting the town will help their application.

Most of the townsfolk consider them idiots and generally ignore them, although there is a small betting center where locals like to place bets on whether or not any of them will receive an approval on their applications.  Less popularly, some also bet on which approved applicants will survive the climb.  Of course, some residents are more sympathetic, and operate businesses catered to those who visit.  Townsfolk are not allowed to scale the mountain themselves anymore without an application, but their applications are more commonly granted - after all, their families lived in Glory long before anyone thought of mountain climbing as a sport, rather than just something dangerous their uncle or aunt did once a year to get hyperspace mushrooms.
