Imagine views from the top of the peak, a complete panorama of thin clouds around and in the distance and peaks rising into the atmosphere. Views spanning 200 miles. Many dared, although few survived and got off without a scratch. Are you ready to embark on an expedition to the summit of Mount Everest to endure -70°C temperatures and dizzying elevation like a god? Mount Everest's summit reaches 29,008 feet. to the skies enclosed between Nepal and Tibet. How could climbers prepare to accomplish the feat? The success of an Everest expedition requires sufficient resources, a firm understanding of the geography, and extensive planning regardless of the climber's experience. To begin with, climbers are imagined to carry gigantic luggage, but what are the sufficient resources needed for a successful expedition up the mountain? ? A list of equipment that a climber would need is heat protective clothing, oxygen cylinders and a regulator (Krakauer). Oxygen tanks are necessary when you rise into the atmosphere as the thin air will be less dense with oxygen. Oxygen is an essential element that the body needs to supply blood to the entire body (? Personal knowledge - Science Lesson)?. In the void, from John's expedition report "the climbers in the team reached impaired cognitive function in 10 minutes" (Krakauer). “Ten minutes later all my oxygen was gone; my cognitive function, which was previously marginal, immediately took a nosedive” (Krakauer). Impaired cognitive functions would hinder the expedition by causing faulty leg movements and slips. Tight-fitting clothing prevents dangers from the -70 temperatures brought on by the violent storm. Possible ailments range from frostbite to hypothermia which could lead to... by means of paper containers......gen, for example, in thin air. "Rob Hall said the oxygen tanks were empty but I knew they were full" Supplies could be measured and calculated for shelf life until a rest camp was reached. Planning will help you make quality decisions in using resources, meet order deadlines and maintain peace of mind. Henceforth prevent any setback caused by indecision and foresight of events. In conclusion, a successful expedition to Mt. Everest requires applicable use of knowledge, characteristics of the peak and a surplus of resources necessary for mountaineering and effective planning.
