Going up the tallest peak in the world present both challenges and opportunities. One group sees it as an opportunity while others see it as something they cannot do. The latter are the people who have given up since it the tallest and are not ready to challenge themselves. This articles discusses why the Mt Everest Climbing Expedition is an activity everyone must participate in.

Many people have died trying to climb but this has not deterred many from climbing it. The words of George Mallory encouraged people to climb it. Here are some reasons why it becomes a good idea to climb the tallest mountain in the Earth.

Getting to top makes ones name is remembered in the books of history. It is no easy task to get at the top. That is the reason why most people give up even before walking out of their house. Thus reaching to topmost makes you one of the few to ever challenge them and reach to where others failed. The explorers who are able to scale the mountain get recognition from various parties.

It is a unique experience. Been able to reach at the top is something that one cannot experience in any other place since there is no other tall mountain like this one. Thus, one will be having once in lifetime experience if they get to the summit.

It is seen as more than a mountain. The mountain represents the challenges one can face in life. People face many challenges in life, and they find happiness if they get to summit and overcome their challenges. This is the same with the mountain. The journey to the peak is not easy. There are steep slopes, falls, and the cold weather. All these are the challenges one has to overcome on the way to topmost. Standing at the topmost means that one has overcome anything that life throws at them.

The other reason one should participate in this expeditions is to test their limits. Ascending pushes, even the most trained and experienced people to the end. Their mental and physical limits are tested through, exhaustion, sickness, and other elements beyond ones control. It takes more than skill and preparation, one has to endure and get lucky. Those who have been to the top can bear testimony to this.

The summit is the highest point above the sea level. This means the person at the peak is looking down at the earth where other people are. This in itself is an incredible feeling that most people do not get to experience. One feels lucky to be among the few who have been to top.

The activity seems as fun but there is a lot of danger one is exposed to. The place is steep and full of snow. You may easily fall, as there are no pathways to the top. This is why it is important to learn about the safety measure before going for the tour. If possible, they should consider taking up training.
