Mountain and Rock Climbing

Mount Everest is the world's highest mountain, with a peak at 8,848 metres.It is located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas on the Nepal. The first person was Edmund Hillary.

There are different levels of being a mountain guide. If you go to AMGA.com it will give you tons of info on becoming a mountain guide. To become an international mountain guide, it can take up to 10 years to get your license.

Around 270 people climb Mt. Ararat every year.

Edmund Hillary climbed Mount Everest in 1953.

No there isn't. The rock is layered and isn't well-suited for climbing. There is plenty of mountaineering in the backcountry, and some of that may include some rock climbing, but it is very difficult and dangerous. There are no established rock climbing routes.

about 1400. thye climate there is perpendictlatorily sactisfactional to some of the living creatures there. the huans establishtisim to the environmetal factors are not as suitible for the environment. so, when a persons extinguishments of their body protype are pushed to their limit, it could be deadly. unless they have made themselves suitable under the conditions of the environmental characteristics, and the factors of odism. this is why the population is so small.

The year that Mount Everest was first climbed was 1953. A climber from New Zealand called Edmund Hillary was the first person to stand on the summit of Mount Everest. He reached the top of the world on May 29th at 11.30 in the morning.

Edmund had three children: Peter (born 1954), Sarah (born 1955) and Belinda (born 1959)

The first ten people to reach the summit of Mount Everest are:

3: Jurg Marmet

4: Ernst Schmied

5: Adolf Reist

6: Hansrudolf von Gunten

7: Wang Fu-Zhou

8: Chu Yin-Hua

9: Konbu

10: Jim Whittaker

Bouldering: Climbing Shoes, Chalk bag, Comfortable clothes (e.g. knee-covering pants, sports shirt)

Top Roping: Same as above, Climbing Harness, Belay device.

Lead Climbing: Same as above answers, Rope.

Rock climbing has become a pretty big sport for even the average person. It's safe and a lot of fun. It has become so popular that the hard core rock climbers are getting a little frustrated because so many people are on "their" rock.

..."my boyfriend and i were going on vacation, so i used my citi thankyou card to pick up some accesories...a new belt, some nylons, and what girl wouldnt need new shoes...we talked about getting a diamond, but with all the thankyou points I've been earning, I flew us to the rock I really had in mind"

The level of oxygen that the body is getting is low so it would most likely start to breath faster. By doing that the heart rate will also increase so that the blood can deliver the oxygen to the tissues. Over all the body will produce more red blood cells to use the oxgen efficiently.

On the 16th May 1975 Junko Tabei from Japan became the first woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest

Mountain climbing on its own is dangerous, requiring advanced skills, courage and resourcefulness.

Climbing in Antarctica can be especially dangerous, given its extreme climate and the lack of any local facilities to care for you if you have any kind of accident.

No, Expedition Everest (Disney) doesn't go upside down but it dose make you get that feeling that you are.

Your equipment:
Shoes - $80-150
Harness - $40-70
Rope - $130-250
belay device - $25-90
chalk and bag - $20
helmet - $100
Partner - Priceless (especially if they have gear you can use)

You can do top-rope and bouldering climbs with what I mentioned above. (However, with bouldering, it would be a good idea to get a crash pad - $120-250, but with bouldering you only really need shoes, not the other stuff.)

After that it largely depends on what type of climbing you do. Trad is very expensive, but also requires more experience. Sport isn't so bad, you only need quickdraws, but they are still $12-25ea.

Don't ever buy ropes or harnesses used. The other stuff you can, but even then make sure you inspect in closely. If you can find well taken care of gear, it helps a lot. I got my wife a used helmet for $14.

fu** you guy's nobody cares about the answer

The coldest month on Mount Everest is January and the average temperature on the summit can be anything between -30 Celsius and -60 Celsius. The warmest month is July and the average temperature for the summit is -19 Celsius. There is no point during the year that the temperature on the summit rises above freezing. During the dead of winter which is November to February, the summit winds are at hurricane force and can reach more than 175 mph.

It was Hulda Crooks who in 1987 accomplished the feat at the age of 91. I had the privilege of accompanying her on that climb. To my knowledge the record still stands.

Don't you people have Google? May 16, 1975.

Moab, UT Fisher Towers. We shot from a helicopter!

Edit: More specifically, the formation they summit is Ancient Art on the route called Stolen Chimney. I climbed this a few years ago -- even cooler is, where the woman in the ad stands on the top of the tower is on a loose block that moves as you stand on it!

Edit: Adding the the fact that the top is loose, there are also no anchors from the last 20, or so, feet. This means if you fall, you fall about 40 feet! (20 ft. for the tower, 20 ft. the rope length from the climbing the tower). Just makes the fact she climbed and was standing on there ever more impressive.
