One of the world's most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas are in the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains. Qomolangma rises the highest and it's the most famous. It is 8,848.86 meters high. and so is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
The first people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29.1953. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975.

The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.
