For this assignment I chose that no one should be rescued off of Everest if they know the terrain is dangerous.I say this because of these three reasons.People could die, It’s really dangerous, and It can be extremely difficult to get people off of the mountain.rescuing the people also put more people in danger than was intended. For my first reason people could die from people causing trouble on Everest.What could go wrong is avalanches, big rocks falling down on people, and animals like the snow leopard Himalayan black bear and the red panda.the air at the summit is really thin.So you have an oxygen mask to breath.The carabeiners could break killing the climbers on the rescue line.You could also get hape if you didn't have the proper training. …show more content…
finally my last reason is that it can be difficult to rescue them. the helicopter can crash as I said before. the rescue crew wouldn't be able to breathe at high altitude without the mask the cold could kill them since it can get at -40 degrees Fahrenheit. the wind can blow the rescue crew around or even off the mountain. this is really likely since the winds can go to the speed of 175 miles per hour.that is even stronger than a category 5 hurricane.one little mix up so they need to make sure they're safety equipment is safe to use. Now to conclude my point on why people shouldn't be rescued on Everest the three reasons could harm the climbers people could die it's very dangerous and it's very hard to rescue the people in trouble.To sum it up I believe that people shouldn't be rescued on Everest even though they know the risks and
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.
This is corresponding to today’s community because if the climbers are unskilled and they are not sure about safety, then they must not go mountain climbing, if they die their family and friends will be sad also the rescuer may die too. There have been over 230 deaths on the mountain. It’s very dangerous! what if the accident happen? People never know what will happen in the future. Think before you do something! Undoubtedly, people do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at
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
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
Did you know that over two-hundred thirty deaths have happened on Mount Everest and that rescue services have only successfully removed thirty bodies? Those people died because they were unprepared by not having enough oxygen or they didn’t plan accordingly. Being unprepared, not being physically fit, and putting other people at risk are three reasons why I think that Rescue Services should not be allowed for people who put themselves at risk.
In all three article, “Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest”, “Why Everest?”, and “Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers on Mount Rainier” all have different points of view regarding the issue of emergency rescues of mountain climbers.
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.
Have you ever wanted to prove to everyone that you are a hard worker that is willing to give up everything to go on an adventure? If this is you than Everest is the perfect place for you. In the story, “ Into Thin Air,” by Jon Krakauer a true story is told of a dangerous voyage up and down Everest. The climb up was arduous and long according to Jon, but the climbers sacrificed everything to get to the top, which most of the climbers achieved. However, emotions shifted when a storm swooped in and killed many of the climbers that were stuck on the summit, around 12-19 in total.
It is hard to make the choice, but it is dangerous to hesitate on Mt. Everest or other high mountains, and sometimes the choice to try saving a person causes the deaths of others. In my opinion, it is not worth to climb the mountain or even try to save others, because if you die, there will be nothing, but there should be something that attracts the climbers even though they know they may lose their lives. In this wide world, there are a lot of things that you can enjoy without the high risks of death, so I’d rather enjoy my life in a comfortable
Though Everest has gotten exponentially safer as the years went by, anything could happen. For example, “... a bulge of glacial ice three hundred yards wide that was attached to Everest’s west shoulder,” continued by, “The falling ice hit twenty-five men, killing sixteen of them, all Nepalis” (Source two). The unpredictable could happen, the glacial ice could have broken off and fall in 10 years, or 5, or even tomorrow! Officials could not have predicted when the ice would fall, with the three-year break, they can identify potentially dangerous ones and study how to avoid casualties if one were to ever fall again. Adrenaline “junkies”, argue that closing Everest takes away their freedom of “spirit of adventure”, which is inaccurate (Source two).
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
Have you ever wanted to climb Mount Everest, to be able to say that you overcame obstacles of the environment and became a stronger percent? A complication that has been discussed recently is about whether or not the repercussions of mountaineering outweigh the achievements that derive from mountaineering. As said in “Keep Everest Open”, on the day of April 18th, 2014 there was an avalanche that killed sixteen Nepalese people on Mount Everest. When these catastrophes occur taxpayer money is used to search for the missing and many do not want their taxpayer money to go towards this. It is true that there are many risks that come with climbing Mount Everest such as, loss of oxygen and hypothermia, yet there are also many rewards and achievements
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.
