Today is the Anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Everest  | | 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

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!
