Mt. Everest Research Paper
Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. Since it is 29,035 feet and has avalanches, crevasses, strong winds and is very steep, it makes it very difficult to climb. Not only is it hard to climb, imagine how hard it would be being disabled. The quote, “ Some people succeed because they are destined, but most people succeed because they are determined” really describes Mark Inglis, Erik Weihenmeyer, and Arunima Sinha.
Mark Inglis summited Everest without any legs. He was only in his 20s when he lost both of his legs. Mark lost both of his legs to frostbite. He was working as a mountain rescue guide and was caught in a snow cave for 14 days. He summited Everest at the age of 45 and became the first double amputee to summit
