Answer 2

Climbing Mount Everest

(1) Standing at 29,029 feet in the air, Mount Everest is located in the Himalayas between Nepal and China. For many adventurers, climbing Mount Everest is the greatest feat that can be achieved in the world. It is a dangerous climb, and many people have died in the attempt. But for the people who succeed, the chance to actually stand on top of the world is well worth the risk.
(2) In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first people in recorded history to stand on top of Everest. It took them over two months from the time they set up base camp, but on May 29, they reached the summit. After they got back, people wanted to know which one of them had been the first one to the top. They told people that they both had been the first to reach the top because it had been a team effort. After a few years, though, Tenzing Norgay said that it was Hillary that had stood on the top first. He added, “If it is a shame to be the second man on Mount Everest, then I will have to live with this shame.”
(3) Many others have since followed in the footsteps of Hillary and Norgay. To date, more than 1,300 climbers have completed the climb. While it is still an amazing feat to climb Everest, it has become easier due to advancements in climbing equipment and better knowledge of how to climb it. A 13-year-old American climber reached the top in 2010. In 2008, a 76-year-old man from Nepal reached the summit.
(4) However, Mount Everest has also been the site of much tragedy. On May 10, 1996, eight climbers died on Everest trying to climb down in a blizzard. That year, fifteen people died on Everest, the most in any year on Mount Everest. People can freeze outside or suffer from a lack of oxygen.
(5) In the end, Hillary and Norgay spent only about 15 minutes on the summit of Everest. To some, risking one’s life and spending two months on a mountain is too great a cost for getting a scenic view for only 15 minutes. Others, however, point to the fact that Hillary’s and Norgay’s names will live on for centuries and think that is worth the risk. As Sir Edmund Hillary might tell you, “nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
