Well today was quite a thrill!! Today i climbed Mt Everest! My tour guid was one of the "experienced mountaineers" while i was a novice who was counting on my paid guide to get me and Everest experience! My Everest if the highest mountain on Earth, as measured by height of its summit above sea level. The mountain, which is part of the Himilaya range in High Asia, is located on the border between Nepal and Tibet. As of the end of the 2006 climbing season, there have been 3,050 ascents to the summit, by 2,062 individuals, and 203 people died on the mountain. The conditions on the mountain are so difficult that most of the corpses have been left where they fell; some of them are easily visible from the standard climbing routes. I was 'lucky' enough to see one of these corps. I was unaware of how long it had been there or what had happened. But it made me realise the reality of climbing the highest mountain on earth! The climb was absolutely amazing! the view was incredible! i was breath taken! literally! I believe everyone should go! here are some pictures we took!
