Wheee... and now I am deleting the list from my computer. Onto a new list...
Who wants to climb Mt. Everest? I want to make an attempt to!!
"Also called Mount Chomolungma, Mount Everest is located in Nepal and is the highest elevation in the world. From standard climbing routes that pass through the “death zone” – altitudes higher than 26,246 feet – corpses can be seen in their unaltered positions."
Challenge accepted!
The only difficult hikes I've been on were when I was abroad, leaving me sore and limping off the bus the next day.
Bush walking in Australia (a very steep climb to the top!)
My classmates and I climbed and slid down Mount Ruapehu. Mt. Ruapehu is the highest point in the North Island of New Zealand at a height of 2797 meters. Mt. Everest is 8,848 meters... 6,000 meters greater than the highest point in NZ. Wowzers!!
