It's not like I sat down one day and decided to become afraid of heights...I've just always had the fear, for as long as I can remember (and oh, I'm scared of snakes and enclosed places too).

I'm however making conscious efforts to overcome my fears...so help me God!

I'd to explain to you, but watch EVEREST and you will see that a helicopter can't get to the summit even helicopter can't reach camp 3. Why? Because the air at those heights are very THIN, it will blow any aircraft or helicopter away.

Explorers:
George Mallory was a British schoolteacher who was born in 1886.

A naturally gifted mountain climber, he often climbed in the Alps and Wales. In 1921 and 1922, he was part of two of the first major expeditions to climb Everest.

The first one in 1921 was more to map out the mountain and the second expedition a year later came to an end after an avalanche killed seven people on Mallory’s team.

In 1924, Mallory was chosen for a third expedition. Just before he was about to set off, Mallory was asked why would anyone want to climb Everest andhe famously replied, “Because it’s there.”

On June 6, Mallory and another mountain climber named Andrew Irvine started their ascent and by June 8th, they had reached an altitude of 26,800 feet (the highest peak of Everest is 29,029 ft). They set off on the morning of June 8 to the summit and that was the last time that anyone saw themalive.

It’s unclear if Mallory and/or Irvine reached the peak. Mallory’s body was found in 1975 by Chinese climbers at 26,760 feet, but Irvine’s body was never found.

It’s believed that Mallory died from a bad fall. His body is still relatively well preserved, considering his body has been lying there for over 90 years.

Everest wouldn’t be conquered until 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillaryand Tenzing Norgay reached the summit.

I was waiting for this! The story of Mt Everest is incomplete without these two. They're a creepy reference point to the terrible sacrifices humans make to conquer nature.

I first read about them in primary school and these grim words have stuck in my memory:

"...and they were never seen again..."

So many things are attached to climbinh Mt Everest.

1) Some go there because they are depressed. So they go there to away from there normal life.

2) To some, it's a promise that they want to fulfill

3) To some like explorer said, is to break record, to get to where other people have not been before.

4) To some its the thrill, the party at the base camp, meeting people who have been to the summit, make history, sight seeing, of course Mt Everest is a wonder, the highest point on earth.

5) Nepal is rich because of this shiit, and its also a source of income to the Sherpas.

6) Even geographers go there to study the mountain.

Explorers:


The whites are after breaking records, making history, names, doing what no one has ever done, and seeing what no one has ever seen even if its going to cost them their lives. And thats why they are flying.

But we, all we want is a paper(Degree)even if we cant make a practical of whats on the paper, get a job/business, get a car, house, get married, have kids, and die.

My brother, it is someone who has eaten to his satisfaction that will think of breaking records and doing what no other person has done. We're too busy trying to make ends meet to bother about making history.

I didn't say Nepal is rich, what i meant is that foreigners coming into their country to climb Mt Everest, is one of Nepal's major revenue generator. Like our oil. I didn't mean they are rich country.
