Mountain Climbing
I have been reading with interest, about mountain climbing. I don’t think I will ever be in physical condition to attempt to climb Mt. Everest but I admire those who are in great shape and who have tried to climb this great mountain. Did you know that in May of 1999, NOVA-sponsored climbers discovered the body of George Mallory, who died in 1924 while attempting to reach the summit? The body was well-preserved and provided many valued tips to future climbing expeditions. I found this to be an amazing discovery.
This climb is one that takes a lot of planning. The proper equipment must be acquired to ensure a safe climb.
Just a few of the items required for a climb include:
# Climbing Ropes
# Tents
# Climbing Harnesses
# Winter Outerwear
# Sleeping Bags
# Camping Stoves
# Camping Gear
# Climbing Gear
# Camp-stove Fuels
Climbers in their Berghaus jackets have found the warmth needed and have kept dry when they are dealing with temperatures that vary depending on the height of the climb. Weather is an unpredictable factor when climbing a mountain of Mt. Everest’s magnitude. Mt. Everest has no opinion about a climbers race or religion preferences. Everyone who has attempted to climb Mt. Everest has said it has left an impression on them like no other. Sitting atop the 29,028-foot summit which is the highest point on earth is a feeling not many have experienced. The descent down the mountain is just as dangerous and must be prepared for both physically and mentally as well.
I love heights , I wonder if i can get myself ready to climb the mount everest
if you are impressed , let me tell you though I love heights but I am really afraid when I am at some high altitude
. Butterflies in my stomach and air pressure at my belly doesnt let me do anything.
So i am really very impressed by people who can do this , like you
Thanks for sharing
I think you have to be very brave to do this sort of thing. I love mountains, and I hike them, but climbing something like Mount Everest is not one of my short-term goals.

Not like me, Leonore! You won’t see me climbing anything but a short ladder!
I don’t see myself climbing any mountains either. I am doing good to get a walk in each day.
OH - this made my heart race just thinking about the dangers of climbing! I think I’ll just sit right here with my computer
Cute little toadstool house Karen - and I love your pink and blue design - it’s sooooo friendly and warm here - ya, no mountains for me for sure!
Hugo is wonderful BTW - I don’t know what I’d do without him in my life
I have never taken to climbing myself. Although like mentioned here before, I adore heights (nevermind that I suffer from vertigo!) I do bungee jumping, sky-diving and yes… cliff diving! I used to do more of a mountain strolling - so I would be well pleased if you could let me know about the actual climbing!
Also, will you let us know if you get one of the Berghaus jackets? I have had mixed reviews about these, and maybe getting a first hand, none sales-pitch feedback would help!
Interesting post. Mountain climbing seems fun. Thanks for the information.
