How to Climb Mount Everest

Mount Everest is over 29,000 feet tall meaning it's as high as the cruising altitude of airplanes. It has other names given to it by the Chinese and Indians including Sagarmatha and Chamalunga which means Holy Mother. To climb Mount Everest you need to be in top physical shape, have a lot of climbing equipment and carry bottles of oxygen at the top. In 1924 George Mallory and Andrew Irvine from England tried to be the first climbers to summit the mountain but were never seen again.
