Can you imagine climbing Mount Everest? I couldn't but today marks the 55th Anniversary of the first person to reach the top of the mountain.

Compared to all teh people in the world there are very very few who have made it to the top of the Mountain

The permit that one needs to have to climb mount Everest, alone is expensive to obtain, and costs up to 25,000 to obtain, per person.

The Mountain measures 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) high, and that is the latest and most accurate measurement believed to date taken in 2005.

You can read about Mount Everest online and Wikipedia is a wealth of information as well

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Everest

Would you attempt this mountain?

Not me, I would love to do rock climbing some day, but to put myself at that much risk, as many have died on the mountain, and many are left right where they died....I don't think I could handle the climb and seeing dead corpses, knowing people died trying to achieve a dream.

Mooch

hello mooch

oh my gosh no! i cannot ever imagine ever climbing a mountain like that. sh**, i can barely handle the stairs in my house on a daily basis anymore, less think i could climb a mountain like that. lol you know? when i am doing laundry during the afternoons here, i think to myself, oh heck, i have to go down the stairs again and then back up them. some days i make a game out of it, seeing how fast that i can make it back up the stairs. lol and no, i would not ever attempt to climb any mountain, anytime, or anywhere at that. lol you want me to put my leg where? don't think i can do that! lol you know? and i hear ya, if i was into mountain climbing like that, i would pass out if i seen a dead person along the way. lol no thank you. i will pass on the mountain climbing lesson for the day.

have a beautiful day today!

It would sort of fun to try it.
I remeber the big news when that first person made it to the top and for along time I knew the name of that person but alas have forgot it now.
I was about 15 when it happened

I have no interest in climbing a big, big rock to the top. I like the ground under my feet here. I like risks in make believe and I take a risk everytime I get on my horse. That's enough thrill for me. Except for the fun I have here. And my goofy antics, too, sometimes.

But, FYI, I just read in the newspaper here, that we happen to have the youngest woman in our town that climed Mt. Everst with her family. 20 yrs old.

well you have to be a trained mountain climber to do mount everest and neither of us are so we would never be able to it from that perspective,

and no it wouldn't interested me to climb any mountain.
