The odds are stacked against you and the chances of hitting your preferred number are fairly rare (that being, the equivalent of summiting the peak). The house holds a strong advantage and more times than not turns a climber about-face, with a march back towards base camp or to the parking lot down at Bunny Flats for a slice of humble pie!
