Mount Everest And The Sherpa 's

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?

The entire journey up the mountain is full of danger. You constantly have to worry about the oxygen you are getting and people around you are dying. The air is thin and if there is any air, it’s contaminated. You have to worry about getting the disease H.A.P.E. You have to worry about your health 24/7. You have to get past impossible obstacles. You just have to be strong. Climbing the mountain is an endless, painful battle. No matter what is happening outside of the mountain, on Mount Everest all that matters is Survival.

Picture yourself climbing the tallest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest. Many people have successfully scaled this mountain, but others have tried and failed. Mt. Everest has been called a Himalayan Wonder because of its geography and weather extremes (Urmann). By exploring the geography, the people who have tried to climb it, and the supplies you will need, one can see how brave the many people who tried to climb it have been.

Why is Mount Everest so dangerous? The people who want to climb Mount Everest are aware of the risk… But actually, the risk is part of the attraction for some people. Not everyone can manage the treacherous climb. In fact, some people pay with their lives for climbing Mount Everest. Everest is 29,035 feet from its base to its peak. The people who climb Everest are very skilled. People do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because, they are making a life threatening risk to themselves and they are also making a risk to the people who are trying to save them.

In examining the information from the book called Into Thin Air I found it useful to collect some of my own historical information about the mysterious and magnificent Mount Everest. Named after a retired British Survey General, George Mallory Everest. Despite the mountain already being called Chomolungma by the Tibetans and Sagarmatha by the Nepalese. In 1856 the British decided to name the mountain after Colonel George Everest, head of the survey (Davis, 69-73). Discovered back in 1852 to be the highest mountain in the world, it draws its victims in with its beauty, magnetism and power. Hundreds have lost their lives on this incredible mountain, Mount Everest continues to make history with the greatest one day death tolls increasing year after year with more and more mountaineers ready to conquer

Thinking of Mount Everest, one usually pictures a majestic mountain towering over the landscape. Nobody ever realizes that Mount Everest is actually being used as a giant junkyard instead of maintaining its beauty.

Even for an experienced climber Mt. Everest's weather is the hardest to get acustomed to and climb in. Everest has experienced everything from snow to sleet, from rain to hail, and from sun to blasting, freezing wind. If you get stuck in a storm nasty enough, you are at risk of dying.

On May 29, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the very first people to summit Mt. Everest, which was a lifelong goal. Mount Everest, part of the Himalayas which runs between Nepal and Tibet, towers majestically at 29,035 feet above sea level. Due to the Swiss almost reaching the top of Everest, the British organized an expedition with Colonel John Hunt in the lead. This expedition which lasted from April to May started at a Nepalese Monastery then went to the Khumbu Icefall, then to the Western Cwm, which leads to Lhotse Face. 26,000 feet up at the South Col, the first expedition team went climbing Everest but aborted due to their oxygen malfunctioning. John Hunt then sent out a second team which consisted of Edmund and Tenzing. After

More specifically, Mount Everest borders Tibet and Nepal. This enormous mountain was first conquered on May 29, 1953, by Sir Edmund Hillary alongside Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay.

They include economic impact, health benefits, and the extermination of an ethnic group.

There are many dangers on Everest such as, avalanches, cravasses, strong winds, steepness, and thin air. Bill Burke is a 69 year old mountain climber. At the age of 67, Bill decided on taking on the ultimate challenge of climbing the great Mount Everest. Although he has climbed other mountains before, such as Mount Rainier and Mount McKinley, Mount Everest would be much more challenging due to its height and dangers. On Bill’s attempt to summit Everest, he would like to find different paths along the mountain.

Mount Everest is the most dangerous of the seven summits. Many people perish from not being able to acclimatize,not acclimatizing to mount Everest can cause swelling in the brain and lack of oxygen. In the movie of rest to acclimatize their bodies they had climbed the mountain three different times.

Mt. Everest, standing 8,850 meters above sea level is taller than any other mountain in the world. Since 1922, hundreds of climbers have attempted to climb this treacherous mountain located in the Himalayan Ridge, whose summit ridge separates Nepal and Tibet.
