The Threats To Mount Everest Adaptation

Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world and commonly considered the most dangerous to climb. So, is climbing this magnificent mountain worth it? What are some of the risks taken if someone were willing to climb the mountain and why would anyone want to do so? Last but not least, what are some of the pros and cons of scaling this large mountain that only a few can say they accomplished in their lives? Well in many people’s minds these thoughts soar, and today all of these questions might finally have an answer.

As said by Zopa, “You can never tell who the mountain will allow, and who it will not.” Peak needs to reach the top of the mountain as soon as possible, before he turns 15, in order to break the world record of having the youngest person reach above 29,000 feet. To do this, though, he endangers his life with the cold, getting oxygen, and just the climb itself. As they say, “Climb high, sleep low,” to get acclimatized, that way your lungs will be caught up with your body, or else they would collapse and you could come down with a serious case of HAPE. With the climb itself, Peak faces quite a few difficulties. At one point, when he was climbing up a steep slope with his axes, one of Sun-Jo’s slipped, and he was dangling. But, being the hero he is, Peak climbed sideways towards the rope that was hanging there, grabbed it, and swung down to Sun-Jo, saving him just as his crampon was slipping. There were other things like avalanches that happened, but the most killer thing was the so called death zone. In it, you have to get in and out in under 18 hours, or else you will meet certain death. Oxygen or not, there’s only a certain time limit you can survive it. Of course Peak made it out in time, but he did not, in fact, reach the summit, which was actually rather

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.

Climbing Mount Everest is a very dangerous extreme sport because it can not only be dangerous to yourself, but also to others. Mount Everest has a lot of dangers killing and injuring people every year.

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.

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.

Two noticeably famous people who have climbed the ruthless mountain Everest, Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmand Hillary, are possibly the best 2 climbers that have been around, and If I had to choose between the two, I would pick Norgay. When deciding between the two I had to think about several things, and one of them is the advantages of having both people with myself. Nonetheless, I concluded that they were both bold and that they were willing to do anything to go 29,000 feet. They were both someone who knew about the land, and knew what to do, and not what to do. “At that great moment for which I had waited all my life, my mountain did not seem to me a lifeless thing of rock and ice, but warm and friendly and loving.” (Norgay Page 42) Even

After finishing the novel Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, detailing the first-hand experience of the catastrophe that took place on Mount Everest in 1996 and ultimately killed fifteen people, it has come to my attention the importance using of supplemental oxygen while climbing at high altitudes. Although many people have accomplished to summit Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen, those attempting to summit Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen will potentially have disastrous repercussions on not only themselves but the climbers surrounding them causing serious injuries or in some cases death.

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

Others may say that they like climbing Mount Everest because of fame, the thrill of climbing it, or they want to complete a hard challenge. But lots of people lose their lives because of Mount Everest, so what should we do about that? In this piece, I will prove that climbing Mount Everest is too dangerous, and that this is the difference between life and death. The first thing that makes Mount Everest dangerous to climb, is avalanches. They could come at any second and bury a climber alive if it was coming down too fast!

Climbing Mount Everest is a bad idea because the climbers can fall or get sick from the different altitudes that there might be everywhere in

Approximately there was 282 deaths from 19924 to August 2015. 102 of those deaths were because of the use without using oxygen supply. In 2000 to 2015 there were 5,832 summits and about 112 deaths, which is about 1.9% of the people that paid to climb. We lose americans to that mountian every year. That is why i believe that no everyone should be allowed to climb Mount Everest.

Why Everest? There are many, many other mountains in the world. Some other mountains could be less dangerous. Why would you want to climb a mountain with dead bodies on it? Source 2 states, there still dead bodies that remain on the mountain. Source 2 also states, there have been a least 230 deaths on mountain Everest. The problem is that a lot of people want to complete the climb and their not succeeding. Do you want your children climbing a mountain that has dead bodies everywhere? Children do not need to experience the climb. Parents should not allow their climb to attempted the climb if they know they might not see them

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.
