Sir Edmund Hillary has died today. He was the first person to reach the summit of the highest mountain peak in the world, mount everest. Many climbers died trying to follow his achievement. Some succeeded in scaling the summit. NOw, what do you think about the quest of climbing mt.everest? is it worth the risk of limbs and lives?

i think it is worth it because what they have done can really encourage us. we can learn in most cases, we can achieve our goals no matter how difficult it is as long as we make great efforts.

If you're an adventure seeker,then,maybe,climbing and reaching the summit of Mt. Everest is really worth it...Besides that,attempting to climb the highest peak in the world boosts up the morale of a country..It's a good thing that all of the Filipinos and Filipinas who climbed that mountain were able to get back alive...But,after that,what happens next?

i would say all mountain climbers are adventure seekers. the love adventures that's why they do what they do. well, for filipinos/filipinas who were able to reach the summit, they would go down on the history books now. what happens next? no more highest mountain to climb, so they must climb their own mountains, meaning the challenges of their own lives.
