After Chu-yi as done thinking about how she was going to get down, she started to find the safest but fastest way to get down. She took her first couple steps down the slippery dirt track. She scraped her leg a couple times on the bushes and sharp rocks but that was about it she wished her grandfather was there to show here how to get up and down the mountain. Chu-yi heard a crunch in her backpack when she slipped and fell and she wondered if that was the nest. She stopped on a rock and…

expeditions led by highly experiences climbers attempted to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Out of the 23 mountaineers that attempted the summit, only 18 survived.

Since that deadly expedition in 1996, many, including the survivors of that climb, have attempted to explain why the tragedy occurred. Some emphasized that…

the same time? People, if climbing a mountain, must be experienced, have gumption, and resiliant. If a person falls off, a helicopter will come and try to rescue them. Should the society allow these savings? The right to helicopters should not be allowed, because, some people do not have the skill level and, more than one person can die on a helicopter rescue. The first reason people do not have the right to helicopters, is because some people know the risks of climbing, but still do it. In…

In the letter, Anatoli Boukreev (Responds to Krakauer), Anatoli Boukreev comments on the topic of his decisions and actions regarding the Mount Everest expedition on May 10, 1996. He argues that he has had more than twenty years of experience in climbing high-altitude mountains, and he is able to make rational decisions without the aid of supplementary oxygen. The first issue that Boukreev addresses, is his decision to retrieve supplies from camp for others. When Boukreev encountered Scott…

The bear looked at Titus, then up in the trees at the owl, then back to Titus again the bear got down on all four legs, turned and walked off. “Wow, either the wand worked, or we don’t look very tasty,” Titus said, as he looked up into the trees toward Hootie. After traveling higher up the mountain, Titus and his two companions came to a grassy meadow. Urging the mule to a big rock, “This,” Titus said to the mule as he dismounted, “Is where we will spend the night.” Taking a…

an eerie feeling and the whispers on the wind. The birds were chirping with glee as sticks snapped under my weight. The trees surrounding you are like a fortress of solitude for the lonely mind. Deeper yet I traverse and I stumble upon a mystical tree stump. It had blue and green aura around it that was rotating and swirling with sparks coming off.

camping trip. The spring air was cooler than usual even at that hour. The forest was quiet except for our footsteps and the sound of the soft breeze moving through the branches of the trees that surrounded the two of us. We wandered aimlessly at first, climbing on large boulders like young children and weaving our way through the tall pine trees. We talked quietly and walked along logs until we came across the start of a wide path that led to the top of one of the mountains near our campsite. We…
