Dream Vacation
Do you have a dream vacation that you would like to go on? I know I do. My dream vacation would be in Nepal on top of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. This is how I would prepare, and scale the mountain.

A year before I take the climb I would start getting physically fit. I would run 50 miles a week, bike 50 miles, and lift a total of 10,000 pounds of weights a week, and push my body to its limit. After, a few months of training I would go to my doctor to see if he thinks I could do the climb. If he doesn’t think I could do the climb. I would train for another year. On the other hand, if he thinks I could make the climb, I would go to the next step.
I would need to go to “The Element of the Mountain” store and buy boots, jackets, walking poles, oxygen tanks, gloves, spike footings, tent, sleeping bags, gas stove, and food. Then I would go to my lawyer and write my will (As of 2002 200 people have died trying to scale the mountain.) I would give my family a temporary good-bye and head over to the airport and catch my flight.

Once I have landed I would go to my hotel room and sleep for a day, so I can get energy for my climb. The next day I would be ready for the climb. Once I have checked that I have everything I would get drive over to the base and get my permit to climb the mountain. After three days of climbing I would need to put on my oxygen tanks and put them on since the air is too thin. Then I can continue to the summit.

After, a few more hours I would see right in front of me my last step till I’ve officially reached the summit. I would take that last step and look out into space, wondering how mother mature could make such a high mountain and how this mountain is thousand of years old. On Mt. Everest you can’t here anything but the breathing from your mouth. So I would take the opportunity and think what I want to do with my life if I wanted to follow my kindergarten dream and become a fireman, or my child dream of becoming a

    Everest including images to better visualize the text. The author first begins the story in the middle when they are returning to the bottom of the mountain. He tells who didn’t survive or who had contracted a fatal injury he then continues to tell us about the impact of the challenge “… to the tragedy the Everest climb has rocked my LIFE to its core …” (Pg. 3). This quote reflects his perspective on the expedition. His vivid figurative language and exquisite imagery pertaining to every event made the passage not only highly realistic but parallel . It was as if the reader was with him and they struggles and felt lightheaded and experienced the same minor injuries. Although the author was advised not to pursue the expidition, he ignored and continued to walk in his ambitions. “Finally I woke up enough to recognize that I was in deep shit and the cavalry wasn't coming so I better do something about it myself” (Chpt. 20). This quote portrays his perspective on his situation and how he feels about the potential overall outcome of his actions. This quote also reflects his personality as a strong-willed individual. He was able to single handedly accomplish getting to base 4 half-frozen on the verge of death.

    Climbing is a challenging, unrelenting, and high-risk sport. Being a climber myself, I know the challenges and constant battle one has to push oneself further and further. Climbing itself has a long rich history. At the heart of the sport has long been the historic national park, Yosemite Valley. Yosemite Valley has seen centuries of climbing starting back in the 19th century. The valley is surrounded by large walls upon which have glorious views. These walls have attracted many climbers to them. These walls hold many historic climbs in their bones and have seen numerous…

    In his book, Into Thin Air, Krakauer describes climbing to the summit of Mount Everest as a 'breathtaking experience'. The thinning of oxygen is just one of the many perilous events that unfolds while the climbing of this monster of a mountain. There are illnesses that one can get while descending too high too quickly, and limbs to be lost to the freezing cold. Worse, one could inevitably come to their own death by falling into a crevasse or for loss of air supply. There is no doubt that climbing to such a feat would be nearly physically impossible, unless given the proper time and training.…

    Each year climbers flock to Base Camp at the foot of Mt. Everest, spending anywhere from about $15,000 to $114,000 for a shot at the summit. About half of those people make it to the top. 280 people have died trying to climb Everest or make it back down. Yet despite the cost, even your life, the number of attempts and summits is on its way up every year. In Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, Everest stands as symbol of dreams and hopes; for the westerners. To the workers of the mountain, the Sherpas, it was a symbol of God and their way of life. Above all Everest was a symbol that commanded respect.…

    Despite reports of significant snow levels at higher elevations, it appeared to be a seasonable day and we chose to complete a day hike to Rocky Top, classified as one of the most strenuous climbs in the park. We climbed seven miles and 3,600 feet, first in the mud, and then in the snow, to reach the summit, only to be greeted by nasty winds and below-freezing temperatures. We were wet, cold, and dirty and it was the closest that I came to both vomiting and collapsing of fatigue on a hike, and the only time that I hallucinated quite a bit. But I never quit the…

    I let my right arm hang loose to cover it with the magnesium powder I carry with me. I draw a shaky breath and look up to the top of the invigorating boulder. The cheering of my friends from beneath reduces to ruis in the back of my mind. I concentrate on the remaining two meters I need to distance, tighten every muscle in my body and make the last pass easily. I sigh of relief escapes my mouth. I made it.…

    Before this trip, I had never climbed a mountain and this was more than just climbing a mountain. So I wasn’t really prepared mentally or physically to go on a trip that required carrying a 40 to 50 pound pack over steep, rocky trails at elevations ranging from 6,500 to 12,500 feet. Since I had a history of asthma when I was in middle school, I was a little nervous as I wasn’t sure if I will be able to complete this trip without being pulled out from the crew half way through the trip due to my asthma. This trip was the first time I prepared my own freeze-dried meals with boiling water on a stove. The whole aspect of coordination and teamwork was also very new to me since I had never been in a situation that required me to pace with my crew and navigate across a mountainous terrain using a compass. The most unique part of this trip was the 10 whole days I…

    People are mistaken who believe the high Rockies are hard to climb. To the traveler who has passed through the plains of Kansas and eastern Colorado, the high Rockies might seem like a beautiful but forbidding wilderness, approachable by only the toughest mountaineers. It is true that the 53 peaks in the Rockies that soar over 14,000 feet in elevation should only be attempted by seasoned climbers. However, the peaks under 14,000 feet, the fourteeners, can be easily climbed by the average person. Actually, climbing Colorado's fourteeners is hardly a rugged experience because most of them take only a day to climb, involve no more than hiking and simple scrambling, and are conquered by many people each year.…
