Mountain climbing is a very tough activity that includes years of training before someone is ready to complete an exhilarating climb. Looking around the world, there are many amazing places to climb. Although two of the most difficult and intense climbs include the Devil’s Thumb in Alaska and Mount Everest, the tallest mountain on earth. “Everest,” by Erik Weihenmayer and “The Devils Thumb,” by Jon Krakauer have some similarities and some differences in terms of the author’s perspective, organization structure, and tone and word choice. As the two authors wrote, they showed their struggles and feats of every situation through words.
Furthermore, paragraph 17 of the article describes why Mount Everest should be closed to tourists. According to Stynton in paragraph 17, "Five years before Sir Edmund Hillary died, he said publicly that the Nepalese government should stop allowing climbers on Everest and give the mountain a break for a few years. " Stynton also explains how "Some local people believe that avalanches and earthquakes mean the mountain gods are angry and it's time to stay away." This detail shows the opposite side of the debate about Mount Everest- that it should be closed down for climbers. The testimonial from Hillary and the local myths about the mountain gods show that closing access to Everest will benefit the Nepalese government by proving that it respects both the wishes of climbers like Hillary and the locals' religious beliefs.
Is climbing Mount Everest an irrational act? During the expedition, climbers are faced with many difficult conditions. In Into Thin Air, Jon Krakauer writes about the 1996 Everest disaster and his expedition with Adventure Consultants. At 29,029 feet, clients were climbing the highest mountain in the world. Unfortunately, they were caught in a hazardous blizzard which killed eight people.
There are many challenges and obstacles that we face, both mentally and physically in life. After reading, “Into Thin Air,” written by Jon Krakauer, he shares his, along with others experiences of climbing Mount Everest. During this journey, climbers had to mentally and physically prepare themselves for any obstacles that headed their way. Krakauer, in particular, had prior climbing experience, but wasn’t as experience in higher altitudes such as Everest. Unfortunately, some climbers didn’t make it out alive.
Krakauer explains how following the discovery of Everest as the highest mountain in the world, the journey to the top would take the lives of 24 men, the efforts of 15 expeditions and the passage of 101 years before someone would finally reach the summit. This demonstrates how all though the expedition to the top was not easy, and would require the lives of many men, people would not stop trying because that is human nature. Not all people climb Mt. Everest in their lifetime, but most people, if not all, work hard to achieve something or be successful. Whether that success may be in their professional life, their personal life, or anything else, Mt. Everest can symbolize all of it. It symbolizes a journey to success and relates to the theme of humans natural drive and passion to pursue what they want.
Being so high up can cause there to not be enough oxygen for your body and can kill your brain cells. Preparation for climbing takes several months. You can not just immediately climb Everest, you have to progress by climbing smaller mountains and then working your way up. When a person thinks they are ready to climb Mt. Everest I think that the guides at base camp should decide whether or not they are ready to attempt such a big mountain using some kind of physical test. Personally, I would never want to attempt to climb Everest.
“I hereby order you serve a maximum 34 months in Kettle Moraine Correctional Institution” the judge told Deshawn before quickly spinning around his chair, standing up and walking through what seemed to be an invisible door behind him. When it shut it blended rightwith the wall. See, Deshawn was a good friend of mine, more like a brother, and was getting sentenced for operating a motor vehicle without owner’s consent, which was stealing a car. He was never a violent criminal like all our other friends grew to be, just a bad kid. At least I thought.
During the trip, many people had some different indispositions. Those indispositions were not very serious, but in this situation those indispositions could kill people. Therefore, all the climbers should not ignore them. After all, we only have one life, but we could have another chance to climb the summit of
Over the following decades, Mount Everest has been seen as an opportunity for commercialization. You can now pay thousands of dollars for an experienced climber to guide you up the mountain, along with Sherpas to help you carry your things. This has become such a norm that people have lost sight of the real reason they climb the mountain.
Many things could go wrong climbing the highest mountain in the world with an elevation of 29,029 ft. 12 people died climbing Mount Everest. No is responsible for those death. The climbers had chosen to climb the mountain. In the novel it states, “Hall was charging $65,000 a head to guide clients to the top of the world” (Krakauer 35). This shows that a person is willing to pay to go through so much pain, risk and sickness to summit the top of the world.
They started with Everest the hook to mountaineering and moved to the hardest climbs of the world and setting records and legacies, that is the spirit also runs through Jordan Romero. Nobody should tell him he can't because he's ‘too young’. Another thing about Everest is the way it's set up. To climb the mountain comes to around $35,000 so not only do you have to have the experience to climb but you also need the dough. A permit alone starts at $10,000 and on top of the $35,000 you need gear, sherpas, and an at-base guide.
The first attempt and success to climb Mt. Everest occured in 1953. Since then, almost 4,000 people have been able to scale the mountain, but over 230 people have not been able to climb it successfully. There is a chance of accident or death when climbing this mountain or any dangerous activity. All people should should have the right to rescue services even if they knowingly put themselves at risk because there is always a chance of an accident happening, rangers are there to save people in danger, and there are rescue vehicles being produced to be used in case of an emergency.

Throughout this essay I will be discussing how we should handle moral disagreements. Specifically I will focus on the ethical theory of Utilitarianism, it benefits but also its disadvantages which shows it is a theory which should not be used to handle moral disagreements. Utilitarianism is a type of relativist consequentialist ethic. Consequentialist ethical systems focus on the outcome of an action, rather than the agent or the action itself.
