Why does a mountain climber need oxygen?

As you increase in altitude, the air becomes thinner. When the air is thinner, there is less oxygen you can breathe in with each breathe. Because of this (at that altitude), when you are doing a strenuous activity, such as climbing up K2, without oxygen, you will not be able to breathe enough oxygen from the air on your own.

On top of this, many people have to spend time at those higher altitudes before climbing these tall mountains so that their bodies can adjust slowly. When someone goes to a higher altitude with less oxygen, the body slowly starts to create more red blood cells to compensate for this. With more red blood cells, the body can obtain more oxygen with each breathe. Some people who have acclimatized enough, are in great shape, and/ or are just genetically built for it - can go up K2 and Everest without an oxygen tank. In fact, using oxygen on Everest if sometimes blamed as one of the factors for the increase in accidents on this mountain. This is because people who are not in proper shape, experienced enough, or just shouldn't be up there can make it to the top of this mountain if they use an oxygen tank.

Was mount Everest named after Edmond Hillary?

Mt. Everest is 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, and became the first person to record the location and height of the mountain, which at that time was called Peak XV. Andrew Waugh, Everest's successor as the British Surveyor General of India, decided that Peak XV should be named after George Everest. George Everest was opposed to the idea, claiming to the Royal Geographical Society in 1857 that Everest could not be written in Hindi nor pronounced by 'the native of India'. Waugh's proposed name prevailed despite his objections, and in 1865, the Royal Geographical Society officially adopted Mount Everest as the name for the highest mountain in the world. Most people in Nepal call Mt. Everest, Sagarmtha, meaning forehead in the sky. Speakers of the Tibetan language call Mt. Everest Chomolungma. The translation is "goddess, mother of the world."

Where is pilot mountain located?

Pilot mountain is a metamorphic quartzite monadnock and a part of the ancient chain of Sauratown Mountains in North Carolina. It is impossible to put an exact age on it, but it would have been formed billions of years ago, when geological folding caused the mountain chain to be created. This would have been hundreds of millions of years before life appeared on the planet- all that can be said is that it's several billion years old.

Where can i get parts for a ward western field 22 caliber model 36?

Ward Western rifles from what i have read online (and i have one i am looking for a magazine clip for also) were made for Montgomery Wards by various manufacturers of which one was Mossberg. Check out some old Mossberg models and see if it looks like one of them. I'd swear my Ward Western looks 90% like a Mossberg Model 144, especially when you put the action out of the stock, it is nearly dead on. I sent a pic into a Mossberg expert ( http://www.havlinsales.com ) who sells parts for old Mossbergs. Sorry, not much you can do for obscure 22's. Let me know if you ever find anything more for Wards Western 22's (post back here). My barrel is marked "70" i think. Where is yours marked "36"? Just found this after i posted it.
