Everest Persuasive Speech

Imagine yourself climbing Everest, the cold air in your lungs and your adrenaline rushing, because of the risk they’re taking. That feeling is what mountaineers crave. On April 18, 2014, an avalanche caused one of the greatest loss of life in the history of the fabled peek. Now the tragedy has sparked a debate on whether climbing Mt. Everest should continue to be permitted. In my opinion, regardless of the risk, I think people should still be able to climb Mt. Everest.

One very off-putting factor for climbing Mount Everest is the climb itself. This is because of all of the risks taken when doing so. All of the risks are very extreme and most can actually lead to death as many that have attempted making the treacherous journey up the mountain have not made it back down safely. This factor can become stuck in many people’s heads and change their minds about making the journey up this beautiful mountain completely. Although several see the travel up the mountain as dangerous and unpleasant, many also see it as the best part of the whole trip. This makes perfect sense seeing as during this climb you can experience some of the most beautiful scenery anyone would ever have the chance to see in their entire lives. The climb has been said to be beautiful and well worth all of the hardship of injury and pain. Overall the climb up the mountain can be seen as the whole reason not to climb Mount Everest or the very reason to do so, but either way the sights you can see are magnificent, or are they?

As much as I thought that the first chapter should have been removed, the book, overall, changed the way I viewed Mount Everest. The novel helps to understand that there is much more than just climbing up and down. For instance, when Krakauer talks about expenses and equipment, he says, “That autumn the ministry raised the permit fee again to fifty thousand dollars plus ten thousand dollars for each additional climber.” This shows that there is an extensive amount of planning and equipment to be covered. Krakauer also tells that a storm on Everest can be much more deadly than a storm at sea level. At the end of chapter twenty, he says, “Brice Herrod is now presumed dead, the twelfth casualty of the season.” Its descriptions like these which make me view Everest as both a great challenge, but also a potential deathtrap.

At first, Jon thinks the mountain is elementary and over embellished. He says, “…to denigrate Everest as a slag heap"-a peak lacking sufficient technical challenges or aesthetic appeal to be a worthy objective for a "serious" climber, which I desperately aspired to be” (23). After the tragic expedition, Jon realizes that climbing Mount Everest is no easy task, and is extremely dangerous. He says, “Truth be told, climbing Mount Everest has always been an extraordinarily dangerous undertaking and doubtless always will be…climbing mountains will never be a safe, predictable, rule bound enterprise” (287). At the end of this novel, Jon changes his perspective, eventually understanding the danger that Mount Everest can

In the year 1953, late May, two climbers finally reached the summit of their expeditions. Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay gazed down from the tallest summit on earth at the valleys surrounding them and sighed a breath of relief, as they were the first people to ever ascend the beast known as Everest. 46 years later Jon Krakauer’s book “Into Thin Air” tells of the harrowing and demanding road to the peak of Everest. I bet you are probably thinking what would prompt these smart men and women to put themselves into such a hard and narrowly survivable situation. In this paper we will go over a couple of the reasons that causes people to climb Everest. First personal achievement, Secondly glory and fame, and Third Adrenaline rush or The pull

Now it is time to discuss the more natural side effects of climbing Mount Everest. This mountain is pretty high. It is a natural occurrence for the air to get thinner as the altitude goes higher. Not only do climbers need special equipment to survive, as previously stated, but there is a side effect to being this high up as well. It is called AMS, or Acute Mountain Sickness. It only occurs at altitudes above 8000 meters—why else would they call that area the ‘dead zone’? Climbers suffering from this often have trouble sleeping, and their bodies begin to deteriorate. The only treatment is descending to a lower altitude. Despite this, many people attempt the peak each year. Another factor that absolutely must be considered is weather. Already, Jon Krakauer confesses to have the mental capacity of a slow child at this altitude. A big storm is not going to help the situation. A huge storm was actually the main reason behind the tragedy that ‘Into Thin Air’ is written about!

How would you feel if someone stopped you from doing something you're really passionate about ? well There were two articles written about whether Mt.Everest should stay open , or if they should close it down for awhile because of some accidents that has happened . In my opinion I believe without a doubt people should be able to climb Mt. Everest because, people are trained to climb mountains and they have equipment to keep them safe from falling.

One reason is that climbers die from climbing Mount Everest because of many possibilities such as the weather, health or the mountain. The second reason is that Mount Everest has lots of trash left from people so the mountain will end up being the world's largest garbage place in the world. From this, A pile of trash could end up being an obstacle for someone trying to climb towards the summit. Lastly people who work near Mount Everest are getting mistreated during work or risking their lives for others that are strangers. People have climbed Mount Everest and got down from the mountain, but people had suffered such as sickness from the mountain or some of their organs have frostbites. People need to train hard and to practise climbing other mountains so that they could have strength, knowledge and courage to climb Mount Everest. If they don’t, it will be their doom and a fatal mistake to climb the mountain. The climber needs to leave some objects along the way to reach to the top even if need to pay extra money. Climber also needs to worry about themselves if they want to make the summit. If they don’t worry about themselves, they will have a higher risk of dying on the mountain.

They should also practice how to rock climb because no one knows when rock climbing would be useful.

Just imagine yourself climbing at the top of Mount Everest. Pretty cool and daring right? Well right now there’s a debate whether we should keep it open or not due to it being dangerous and there being many deaths. Although that is true most people believe they should leave it open. It gives people a rush of adrenaline and it’s not like they’d let just anybody in, in order to climb big terrains you must have a license. So the people who lost their lives while climbing the mountain knew that their life was on the line while climbing. This essay/report will be an argumentative essay on how they should keep Mount Everest open.

At the end if you want to climb Mt. Everest it's on you. Many people know the effects of trying to make it to the summit. They know what happens if you body doesn't adjust to the high altitude, when your body drops below normal level, and if your mind is thinking about something else and whatever the case it can be very deadly. And for what just to take a picture on top of the mountain and tell your friends it doesn't seem that cool because you're talking about making it to the summit when you're missing a nose or worse your friends are telling your story because you're dead or missing on the mountain.

First of all, is because climbers take advantage of rescue services. In the article ''Why Everest'' it says. ''One thing to bear in mind is that climbers not only have to reach the summit safely, they also have to make their way back down. By that time their tired''. This quote shows that if their goal was to reach the summit they might feel lazy and not want to climb down on their own. The climbers might take advantage of rescue services in that situation.

At elevations over 25,00 ft, a human brain is much more susceptible to altitude induced illnesses, such as HACE, HAPE and countless others. Thoughts are warped and hallucinations are common occurrences, not to mention digestive complication and gradual loss of eyesight. Furthermore, there is no space in your mind to be worrying about someone else’s physical and mental condition when you yourself are so exhausted, you can barely find the strength to put on your crampons. Knowing personal limits is a crucial understanding to have in order to safely climb Mount Everest. For example, Göran Kropp attempted to summit Everest around the same time Krakauer’s expedition was on the mountain, but after riding 8,000 miles on bike to reach the colossal
