Mount Everest Pros And Cons

One of the many reasons that people want to make their way up the gigantic and intimidating mountain is because of the beauty that has been reported as one of the top places to see the most magnificent sights. This is why a lot of the population who have climbed the mountain have done just that. They wanted to have the experience of standing on top of Mount Everest looking over what they just climbed and staring at pure beauty. Although several have been said to find the scenery one hundred percent worth the vigorous climb, many also say they were disappointed on what they come across once reaching the top. Several have been said to reach the top of this mountain and

In order to continue climbing Everest, many aspects of climbing need to be improved before more people endanger their lives to try and reach the roof of the world. The guides have some areas that need the most reform. During the ascension of Everest the guides made a plethora mistakes that seemed insignificant but only aided in disaster. The guides first mistake is allowing “any bloody idiot [with enough determination] up” Everest (Krakauer 153). By allowing “any bloody idiot” with no climbing experience to try and climb the most challenging mountain in the world, the guides are almost inviting trouble. Having inexperienced climbers decreases the trust a climbing team has in one another, causing an individual approach to climbing the mountain and more reliance on the guides. While this approach appears fine, this fault is seen in addition to another in Scott Fischer’s expedition Mountain Madness. Due to the carefree manner in which the expedition was run, “clients [moved] up and down the mountain independently during the acclimation period, [Fischer] had to make a number of hurried, unplanned excursions between Base Camp and the upper camps when several clients experienced problems and needed to be escorted down,” (154). Two problems present in the Mountain Madness expedition were seen before the summit push: the allowance of inexperienced climbers and an unplanned climbing regime. A third problem that aided disaster was the difference in opinion in regards to the responsibilities of a guide on Everest. One guide “went down alone many hours ahead of the clients” and went “without supplemental oxygen” (318). These three major issues: allowing anyone up the mountain, not having a plan to climb Everest and differences in opinion. All contributed to the disaster on Everest in

Mt. Everest’s summit has always seemed an unattainable goal for most people. The idea that most people have is that if I can climb Mt Everest, I can accomplish anything. To have the money and desire to try to attempt it is one thing, but being able to endure the punishment is quite another. Beck Weathers, one of the climbers on this particular expedition, had such severe frostbite that he had to have his right arm, nose and the fingers on his left hand amputated. Everyone on the expedition suffered the rigors of Everest. The two expert guides, Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, lost their lives due to a violent storm that ripped through during their descent from the summit. Their impaired judgment also contributed to their demise. Everest is no respecter of persons. Mt Everest is the most respected mountain in the whole world and if

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.

Climbing Mount Everest has many pros and cons. Sometimes people leave their trash, and sometimes, people die! Read-on to see some pros and cons of climbing Mount Everest.

“Once Everest was determined to be the highest summit earth, it was only a matter of time before people decided that Everest needed to be climbed” (14)

In 1996, any person could challenge themselves to climb Mt. Everest, and that was not a very smart decision. “...ushering a gaggle of relatively inexperienced amateurs […] into an apparent death trap?”(1.8) This speaks about how the government rules were so lenient that people would walk in just to find themselves dead. People without the proper training and vitals such as immune system were able to risks their lives for an achievement. There should be some type of background check to see who is a caple to climb the mountain because people will die, such as they did die. Nepal was careless to let people who aren't up or ready for the risks up the

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

Hazardous waste is also being found on Everest. Over 2.5 tons of garbage is biohazardous. If this waste is left on everest it will become a problem. The bio hazardous waste is something if left untreated it could damage the already small ecosystem not to mention the mountain. People have already taken action by making each climber bring down 18 pounds of trash not including their own.

Did you know that more people die than succeed while attempting to climb Mt. Everest? There are many people who are opposed to having people climb the mountain and who are trying to close the mountain to climbers. However, people should be able to climb Everest. If it were to be closed there would be great consequences. First, it would severely affect all of the towns surrounding Everest by taking those jobs away from the Sherpa’s who help the climbers carry their stuff. Second, those who attempt and succeed in getting to the top of Everest feel accomplished and feel good about what they accomplished. Without being able to climb the mountain, there would be a huge amount of people disappointed that they would never be able to achieve that

Mt. Everest , world’s tallest mountain is also disgustingly polluted with garbage. Most of it oxygen tanks, tent parts, sleeping bags,human waste, equipment parts, and frozen bodies. About 2.5 tons of it was classified as bio-hazardous.Experienced climbers, advanced equipment, and help from other group members make it a playground experience not a wilderness, adventurous, and challenging experience.About 35 expeditions climb each year and leave all their.

Every time someone climbs Mount Everest they are more than likely to leave some trash behind them, this is why I think climbing Mount Everest is a bad idea. On page 425 of the textbook, the author states between 1953 and the mid-1990’s,

Not only climbing Mount Everest can affect the climber, environment, but it can affect the local population of Nepal. According to the textbook Geography Alive! Regions and People it says on page 422 “ Porters are sometimes overworked and they are mistreated.” It is clearly testified that not everyone is nice to the porters, when they are only trying to help the climber climb safe to the summit. Another evidence, on page 216 from the book Peak, where it says “I had seen a dead person, let alone a frozen dead person.” Peak has testified that he saw a corpse just laying down face down on the cold snow on camp 4. This was new to him because he was not expecting this new thing for him. Concluding with this, climbing Mount Everest is not the best

On May 10, 1996 six people died trying to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. These people were parts of two expeditions that were in the Himalayas, preparing to ascend the summit for six weeks. The first group was under the direction of Rob Hall, who had put 39 paying clients on the summit in five years. Hall was considered the leader of the mountain and the man to see no matter what the discrepancy. Group two, headed by Fisher, who like Hall, was trying to start a profitable business in providing the experience of climbing Mt. Everest to all for the price of 60 to 70 thousand dollars. Unfortunatly, neither man would live to tell the tale of this expedition.

Mount Everest is the biggest mountain in the world, and because of that attracts many climbers to try and climb all 29,029 feet of it, but think about all the trash they leave behind while climbing. In 2013 4,000 people have reached Everest’s summit, with many more attempting to. Mount Everest has a natural beauty, one that should be preserved, and people climbing the mountain and leaving their garbage on it is ruining it. Climbers have a negative impact on Mount Everest, and while journeying to the top, they are slowly destroying the mountain.
