Mountain

it worth it? Climbing mountains is harder than most people think. Strength, determination, and problem-solving are only a few of the skills that climbers need to have. Although sherpa guides know the best paths, and the ascent s aren’t as treacherous as they used to be, there are many challenges in the way of getting to the peak. People have the right to mountain services when they put themselves at risk because mountain climbing is dangerous despite your expertise and unpredictable weather affects even skilled climbers. The first reason people do have the right to rescue services is the weather is unpredictable. Source #2 titled “Why Everest?” suggests that weather is a big factor in how long a climber can stay somewhere without dying. As stated in article,” A person cannot survive in the danger zone for more than 2 days because of the ...extreme temperatures.” this shows that because of the weather climbers have to pass the zone in 2 days or less.

The climb was gradual at first, but steady, with a low hanging forest and a stream running not far off the trail. Not 10 minutes in I was having thoughts akin to, “Oh my…

The ABC 20/20 episode entitled A Hidden America: Children of the Mountains shines a much needed light on the daily struggles people living in Central Appalachia face. Watching Children of the Mountains was a sobering experience for me. The most surprising thing in this video was the drug abuse and drug dealing. It was…
