Climbing Mount Everest

Everyone thinks that Mount Everest is a beautiful mountain to climb, with all of it's amazing views and outstanding scenery.  This was the case in the past.  Now, there are too many people climbing it at one time.

At times all you can see our read coats (which are a requirement for the Sherpa's so that they can spot people easily).  It would be worse than going to town on Christmas Eve!! Also,  you have people littering and unfortunately, there are dead bodies all over the mountain as the Sherpa's aren't going to risk their lives to tidy up the mountain.  When you get to the top of the mountain, you only have 10 seconds to enjoy the view before you have to make the treacherous way down the mountain again. This is because you have to get down before your brain stops functioning properly due to the lack of oxygen. 

There was a man, Lincoln Hall who had a horrible trip up mount Everest.  It was his second time climbing mount Everest and he was an experienced climber who knew what he was doing.  He managed to get to the summit but on his way down he started going in and out of consciousness and at one point he nearly pushed the Sherpas off the mountain.  Once he wouldn't wake up after a couple of  minutes and the two Sherpa's declared him as dead and left him, taking away his oxygen and warm coat.  He stayed the night at an altitude of 8700 meters.   Luckily he survived the night.  The next day there was another climbing group and he was helped down the mountain.
