Climbing mountains is tough.  You start at the bottom of a mountain to a cliff and you have to climb to the top. Some climbs are steep others are not but you always have to go up to get to the top.  Many people like to hike and climb mountains but the king of them all is Mt. Everest.  Mt Everest is the tallest mountain in the world standing at just over 29,000 ft. Many people climb Mt. Everest every year but it is quite dangerous too.  Only 4000 people have made it to the top but 300 people have died along the way.  The ratio of people have made it to the top versus people that have died trying is 13:1.  It’s no joke.  Many people plan for this their whole lives and many people get turned back as well.  When you reach the top you’re so high you can see the curvature of the earth
