Mountain and Rock Climbing

Sophia Danenberg

Climbing your mountain, and reaching your target is just half the deal. The descent must be approached with equal caution, especially when you're on unfamiliar territory. Bear in mind that many accidents happen whilst descending and the terrain, or a sudden change in weather, may demand compass skills and a good large scale map. GPS systems cannot always be relied upon and are not generally accurate enough for the purposes of mountaineering.

If you have never made a freefall parachute jump, start by getting some training at a local drop zone. In order to do base jumps with a wing suit it is recommended that you have advanced freefall skills. Without these skills you increase the risk of injury or death due to unstable deployment, contacted the wall of the cliff, or misjudging the distance to the ground.

On the 11th of January Edmond Hilary died. this year in fact. Also if you would like to what he did he was a mountaineer and was the first recorded man to reach the top of Mt Everest. Love yas!

Nobody gets weighed to climb. Almost anyone who can pull their weight can climb. Basically, the ropes used are strong enough to hold your weight if you can hold your weight. Obviously if one is too heavy to lift themselves; they won't be doing much climbing. There is always bouldering, which almost anyone can do. Bouldering is low to the ground and doesn't require ropes, just a 'crash' pad to fall on.

What?

It's not organized. you go out with a buddy and climb.

If you're referring to competitions, they are usually sponsored by climbing gyms and equipment manufacturers.

If your referring to some governing body, there are organizations that classify the safety ratings of equipment, and introduce standardization, some even organize local efforts to clean up or improve established climbing areas, but... that's about it.

Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world can be found on the border of Nepal and Tibet in the Himalayan mountains.

when lead climbing, the force applied to you when you take a fall depends on newton's second law.

Around 7,000 people from all over the world have reached the summit of Mount Everest to date.There has been around 280 people die on Mount Everest while trying to reach or return from the highest summit in the world.

You may not be in shape for the challenge.

In 2014 sixteen people were killed by an avalanche just below Camp Two on Mount Everest. In 2015 eighteen were killed near Base Camp by an avalanche that was triggered by an earthquake. This year, 2016 saw five climbers die for different reasons. Making it 39 deaths on Mount Everest in the last three years.

They put the flag of Nepal on the summit of Mount Everest because it was the nation of Tenzing Norgay and many of the Sherpas in the expedition.

The amount of time needed to walk around the base of a mountain depends on which mountain and how big it is.

A crevasse, regardless of where it's located is a deep canyon of ice. Unless you fall onto a ledge, you'll fall to the deepest "V" in the crevasse.

Over time -- and not a very long time, you'll freeze to death because of being wedged between two ice forms. You are immobile and probably injured. If you land on a ledge and cannot climb out or are not rescued quickly, you'll also freeze to death.

In Antarctica, there is the added danger of not being rescued, because there are no stand-by search and rescue teams, no equipment on stand-by to retrieve a human from a crevasse.

Also in Antarctica, known crevasses are marked with black flags mounted on bamboo poles, to mark areas where humans should not tread.

So they could prove that they are brave, courageous, and so they could be proud of themselves because they just conquered the tallest mountain in the world.
