Mountain and Rock Climbing

Belaying is a very simple task if trained properly but the recommended age to belay is 10. But weight of climber must be considered as well because you dont want the child to be rocketed to the ceiling if a man falls while climbing.

There has been around 265 people die on Mount Everest while trying to reach or return from the highest summit in the world. The most famous two are George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. Many of their body's are in view from the route used to ascend and descend from the summit.

First off, there are static and dynamic ropes.

Static ropes do not stretch and are mostly used for rappelling, hauling, fixed lines, and probably some other stuff I do not know about. This is because none of these activities involve large forces - such as what would be created during a fall.

Dynamic ropes stretch, and are the main type of rope used for rock climbing. This is because they stretch to absorb the shock of the climbing rope. In fact, if I remember correctly, some rock climbing ropes can stretch to as much as 30% more than it's original length.

Dynamic ropes come in a wide range of diameters and can also be divided into three categories - single ropes, half ropes, and twin ropes. One would choose a certain diameter and type of rope based on the activity they plan on doing.

If you mean alpinism (hiking up snowy/rocky peaks) then the challenge is mostly about mental perseverance How much punishment are you willing to take in order to reach the peak?

If you mean rock climbing (scaling vertical faces) then the challenge is partially perseverence, but mostly lies in avoiding the following thought process:

"OhCrapOhCrapOhCrap.I'mGoingToFall.CantHoldOn.DeathIsImmanent."

Which is ridiculous. No on goes out without a rope and a belayer that they trust. But it still pops into your head on occasion.

If you made the tea on top mt Everest the water used would have boiled at a lower temperature! Which would effect the taste of the tea and what molecules are extracted

"The best temperature for brewing tea depends on its type. Teas that have little or no oxidation period, such as a green or white tea, are best brewed at lower temperatures, between 65 and 85 °C (149 and 185 °F), while teas with longer oxidation periods should be brewed at higher temperatures around 100 °C (212 °F).[54] The higher temperatures are required to extract the large, complex, flavorful phenolic molecules found in fermented tea, although boiling the water reduces the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water."

Keeping in mind that oxidation and oxygen play a role in tea, "thinner" air on top mt Everest results in less oxygen present!

The first five Indian women to reach the summit of Mount Everest were: 1: Bachendri Pal on the 23rd May 1984 2: Santosh Yadav on the 12th May 1992 3: Dicky Dolma on the 10th May 1993 4: Santosh Yadav on the 10th May 1993 (her second time) 5: Kunga Bhutia on the 10th May 1993

Around 7,000 people from all over the world have reached the summit of Mount Everest to date.

No, its not safe to mountain climb alone. If something were to happen, you wouldn't be able to get help right away, and it could be fatal, depending on what happened. Its better to be with someone, and I am sure that the company wouldn't hurt either :)

false fool (:

Doug Scott became the first Briton to reach the summit of Mount Everest on the 24th September 1975.

Mt. Everast is 33,333,338,765,654,468 feet tall.

This answer probably depends on you as a climber: different sections will be 'hardest' for different climbers.

However, one area poses a deadly threat to every climber: The Death Zone.

Cordination is importan in gymnastics because you need it to stay straight. For example, if you were doing a roundoff backhandspring you would want to keep your roundoff straight and on the line so that when you go into your backhandspring you wont go crooked and risk possible injury or death.

he was a beekeeper first

Just under 1000 people attempt to climb Everest each year and about 500 climbers reach the summit every year, this being a combination of Sherpas, other guides, clients, and professional climbers.

Santosh yadav
The second Indian woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest was Santosh Yadav on the 12th May 1992.
The second Indian woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest was Santosh Yadav, she did so on the 12th May 1992.

If you mean who was the first man to reach the summit of Mount Everest then that was Edmund Hillary.

There are probably not that many flags on the summit of Mount Everest due to the high winds blowing them away. When a climber reaches the summit he or she usually leaves the flag of their nation.

yes and no Mt.Everest is the worlds largest mountain so unless you have an oxygen tank to get to the top.It takes a lot of training to climb it although.You can also slip but that is a little rare.You may also get unlucky and get caught in a storm.But it is your choice if you want to climb it or not.

the answer is 14. the first was in 1998

shepra lined is a special fur most of the time expensive

Holds. (There are sub categories of holds i.e. crimps, jugs, pinches, rails, jibs, slopers etc.)

If the indoor wall is designed to look like a natural cliff face (and is not just merely a plywood wall) the holds that are part of this surface are called 'Naturals.'

It depends. If you jumped off a sheer drop on Mount Everest you would die. But if you fell off a small drop onto a ledge then maybe not. Can you be more exact? usually you do if you dropped a mile or more, but 90% chance your pretty high and die
