Mountaineering Storys

One day in 1996 a man called Jon Krakauer went to try and climb Mount Everest to write about how the mountain was changing. When he reached the top of Mount Everest with some guides they got stuck in a snow storm and eight people died. Krakaur survived.

In 1953 a group of un experienced American Mountain Climbers attempted to climb K2 the worlds second highest mountain in the world! Just before all of them reached the top there was a storm, and one of the climbers fell ill. The other climbers had to make a decision of bring him or stay there; They brought him and while bringing him down they almost died but they all survived and got to the bottom safely.
