Aron Ralston: The Blue John Canyon

"These climbers risk life and limb to thin air, frostbite, bone-chilling cold, hypothermia, avalanche and high wind to reach some of the world's highest summits like the 14 mountains in Asia that rise above 8,000 meters."(❡4) These mountain climbers risk their lives for the view and beauty of the world. The evidence also shows that if anyone takes a risk, that person can have great achievements. If mountain climbers don't possess this trait then they aren't cut out for being a mountain climber. Mountain climbing is all about the risks for a great

Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world and commonly considered the most dangerous to climb. So, is climbing this magnificent mountain worth it? What are some of the risks taken if someone were willing to climb the mountain and why would anyone want to do so? Last but not least, what are some of the pros and cons of scaling this large mountain that only a few can say they accomplished in their lives? Well in many people’s minds these thoughts soar, and today all of these questions might finally have an answer.

Why should park rangers put themselves at risk to save those who choose to climb the mountain aware of the risk? The rangers could die up there trying to save another person’s life, which is very heroic but why should he save him. There could be another incident in the park where someone was not doing anything risky but nature struck. Mountain climbers shouldn’t be able to demand rescue services on the mountain.

This topic is relevant in today’s society because the price for climbers having fun might be for those climbers and rescuers losing their lives. If there is an accident or someone gets hurt because of a crime, society should give rescue services. But if someone is doing something that is obviously dangerous and they don’t have the proper training, it is not up to society to help them. So the next time someone is trying to climb Mt. Everest, they should look out for the green

Aron Ralston is an Engineer, born on October 27th, 1975 he is 41 years old, and lives Marion, OH. In the year 2003 when Aron was in Utah hiking he fell in the narrow passages of Blue John Canyon which was only three feet wide, and was stuck there for five days, and seven hours, because of his arm tragically trapped in between the narrow passages of Blue John Canyon, and a heavy boulder, “I have to do something” he thought, when he found that the only way to do that is to get out the dull pocket knife he carried around with him, and cut off his own right forearm.

Some people will go as far as cutting their own arm off or drinking their own urine as a skill of survival. Who would cut their very own arm off? Aron Ralston did when a boulder fell on his very own arm while exploring a remote canyon in Utah. After hours of being alone is survival skills began to kick in and he decided to amputate his very own arm, so he could free himself and make his way to help. Aron Ralston was stuck in a life or death situation which lead him to do the unthinkable decision he made that still has him

In April of 2014, thirteen climbers had been killed on Everest after a massive wedge of ice broke loose, and ever since this incident, there has been debate whether or not people should continue to be authorized to climb Everest. Daring climbers have been drawn to Everest because of the risks and adrenaline. From reading the sources, I have reached the conclusion that I am an advocate for keeping Everest open.

While mountain climbing is a dangerous sport, the chances of death have been reduced significantly. Jon Krakauer, author of Into Thin Air, has determined the ratio of deaths caused because of mountaineering has now dropped from 1 death for every 4 attempts to 1:60 (Source one). It is seen that because of the development of items over the years, many of the symptoms that climbers usually experience include: high-altitude cerebral edema and high-altitude pulmonary edema, have been prevented with the use of special steroids. Also, bottled oxygen has been seen on many mountaineers allowing them to breathe easier in

Besides the physical danger, Peak sees the selfish behavior of some climbers, who will ignore a person who needs help, in their zeal to climb

Have you ever asked yourself if climbing Mount Everest is bad idea I ask myself that question and I think that it is a bad climbing Mount Everest for: the climber , local population , and the environment. One example of why climbing Mount Everest is because for the climber they can get hurt and that is bad because they can get hurt like they can fall. A example for the local population is because they throw a lot of garbage and that can hurt the local population and how it can also hurt the people that is alos a example for the enviroment because that means that it csn hurt he enviroment

Mount Everest SHOULD be Open Many people enjoy climbing mountains. Mount Everest has the highest and tallest peak in the world, standing high at 29,029 feet. Mount Everest is in the young Asian mountain range called The Himalayas. The Himalayas borders China, Nepal, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Pakistan, and India.

Should people really climb Mount Everest? Over the past two decades, it has become easier to climb to the summit, at least it is more accessible. It has also become garbage dump with human excrement, bodies, and garbage littering the trail. There are about 35,000 visitors to Mount Everest every year and the crowding puts people at risk. One important thing is to train climbers to have the necessary experience. Without that, the hidden dangers go unnoticed and the fact that at some point, it is imperative that they head back won’t be known.

Climbing Mount Everest is a bad idea because many people have died. And it is also dangerous. If you climb it there is probably 90% that you might die.According to the text book on page 420 it says “about 2,000 of them have succeeded, But 1800 or more have died”. This shows that many of the people have died and that it is risky . Also in Peak it tells us about how cold the mountain is and how some people have died because of the cold weather.

And they got one climber off, and they crashed attempting to rescue the second man” (Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest 7). It is a rescuer’s job to know the risks for saving a climber but if the climber is a professional, they shouldn’t be easily be making mistakes. When there are rescuers who come pick you up fast when you can’t complete the climb, it is like having a safety net behind you. But where is the safety net behind the rescuers? There isn’t one, once they make a mistake, there won’t be someone to save them, so there shouldn’t be rescuers saving climbers when they are risking their own lives but also the

The dangeors of solo mountain climbing is very high. You don't have a rope to save you or a friend to call 911 or the hospital if you fall. If you do slip you can sufer from many broken bones, brain injuries, or even dealth. If I were you I would stay with harnesses, ropes, and friends. Be safe if you do not listen to me about not solo mountain climbing. I leaened most of this research at Alex's Solo Mountain Climbing Adventures.
