In which year will the first human climb to the top of Olympus Mons (the highest mountain in the solar system, located on mars)?

I suspect that never to happen. Much more likely a robot will land on that peak. Walking in a space suit to that mountain top is, eh, so much not attractive I guess.

I used to know people on the radar for a manned Mars mission around 2018 - at that point the talk was ~10 years, we are NOT going to be there in 2028, I'm saying another 10-12 years from now at the very minimum, civilization may crumble before it happens TBH
