Like climbing Mount Everest (5)

I believe the answer is:

risky

(Other definitions for risky that I've seen before include "admitting possibility of unpleasant outcome" , "Involving a chance of danger" , "Chancy" , "taking a chance" , "too adventurous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
