Mountain and Rock Climbing

George Mallory would of been familiar with Mount Everest on his last climb in 1924 because he had been there on the British 1921 and 1922 expeditions.

Historically, climbing ropes were made from natural fibers like hemp or manila. These ropes were sturdy and flexible, but they tended to be heavier and less durable than modern synthetic ropes. Today, most climbing ropes are made from synthetic materials such as nylon, which are stronger and lighter.

The time it takes to climb a volcano can vary depending on factors like the size of the volcano, its elevation, and the individual's fitness level. Climbing smaller volcanoes may take a few hours, while larger and more challenging volcanoes could take a full day or even multiple days to summit.

In K2, people typically engage in mountaineering activities such as climbing, hiking, and camping. It is known as one of the most challenging mountains to climb, and climbers from around the world come to K2 to attempt the feat. Additionally, some people visit the surrounding areas for trekking and adventure tourism.

While some laboratory techniques used for making synthetic gems may be applicable for making synthetic sedimentary rock, there are additional factors to consider. Sedimentary rock formation involves the accumulation and cementation of sediments over time, which may require different processes and conditions compared to gem synthesis. Techniques like seeding with minerals and simulating geological conditions may be more relevant for synthesizing sedimentary rock.

The climbers faced extreme cold temperatures, limited food and water supplies, and the risk of hypothermia and frostbite as they sat stranded in their snow cave. Additionally, they were at risk of dehydration and snow blindness while awaiting rescue.

Mount Everest was named after Sir George Everest. He was a British military engineer who served as a surveyor general of India from 1829 to 1843. During this time he surveyed the peak. Sir George Everest was the first person to record the location and height of Mount Everest which at that time was called Peak XV.

No one lives at the summit. It's too high, too thin air and too cold.

But it's a fairly doable hike, so you're bound to see a few Tourists and their guides enjoying the view and taking Pictures.

On average, about 60-70% of people attempting to climb Mount Kilimanjaro successfully reach the summit. Success rates can vary depending on factors such as route chosen, personal fitness level, and acclimatization to high altitudes.

The fastest rock climber to have evr lived was Dan Osman, but sadly he is dead now.

When climbing Kilimanjaro, essential equipment includes sturdy hiking boots, warm clothing (layers are key), a sleeping bag suitable for sub-zero temperatures, a headlamp, hiking poles, a backpack, and a water bottle or hydration system. It's important to also bring personal items such as sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, and personal medications.

The most dangerous part of Mount Everest is the "death zone," which is above 26,000 feet where oxygen levels are extremely low, and climbers are at high risk of altitude sickness, frostbite, and exhaustion. Additionally, unpredictable weather conditions, crevasses, avalanches, and overcrowding on the mountain contribute to its dangerous reputation.

Mount Everest never erupts. It is not a volcano.

Bhakta Kumar Rai from Nepal spent 32 hours on top of Mount Everest. He reached the top at 5:30am on May 20th 2011 and stayed there till 1pm the next day. In that time he mediated for 27 hours for world peace.

Temperature is molecular motion. since theres less air in higher climates, theres less molecules that make up the air, thus less molecular motion as a whole meaning a lower temperature. also, since sun light is concentrated on flat surfaces and diluted when the surface is more vertical (=l vs =/), less light hits the mountain. Since the snow is not warmed by atmospheric air or the sun very much it doesn't reach a melting temperature.

The two main routes to climb Mount Everest are the South Col - South East Ridge from Nepal and the North Col - North East Ridge from Tibet.

as high as my doodle, which is pretty freakin big.......jokes. Mt Everest is 29,000 ft high in comparison with the petronas towers that are 1,400 ft high

When two continental plates collide, the crust is forced to thicken, creating mountain ranges such as the Himalayas.

When a continental plate and an oceanic plate collide, the oceanic plate will subduct beneath the continental plate as it is denser. This will form a subduction zone. In this process, orogenic belts (mountain ranges) are formed near or along the coastline. They can also create deep ocean trenches offshore, and sometimes forming volcanoes as molten material created from the subduction of cold wet crust rises to the surface. An example would be the volcanoes at the Pacific Ring of Fire.

When two oceanic plates collide, the denser oceanic plate will subduct beneath the lighter one, forming a subduction zone as well. They can also form (volcanic) island arcs such as the Solomon islands.

Climbers measure air pressure at high altitudes to understand how much oxygen will be available for breathing. Lower air pressure at higher altitudes means lower oxygen levels, which can lead to altitude sickness or hypoxia. This information helps climbers prepare, stay safe, and potentially use supplemental oxygen if needed.

As of 2021, approximately 19 women have successfully summited K2, the second highest mountain in the world. This number may vary depending on the availability of up-to-date records and expeditions.

The oldest woman to climb the snowdon summit to the top and back is 82
