Mount Everest : The Largest Mountain Above The Sea

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.

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.

Everest gave me a lot of information of different things happening on Mt. Everest. There are a lot of storms on the mountain, and the mountain makes it’s own weather. Climbing Mt. Everest I would never know when a storm would hit. I would just have to make a guess by what the weather looks like at the time. I would need lots of oxygen. Oxygen is one of the most important tools to have on the climb of Mt. Everest. Especially when you get to the death zone, because my body would be dying at that point of the mountain, and I would die if I didn't have any oxygen. The movie also showed me no matter how much of an experienced climber I could be, you can always get lost easily. The same goes with death. I could be the world's best mountain climber, but when it comes to Mt. Everest I could die any moment on that mountain if I’m not careful. Death is an important issue if I am climbing Mt. Everest.

I watched the movie Mt. Everest, and people lost their hands, nose, and even their lives. It would take a lot of heart and dedication to
