How many people have climbed Mount Everest? by Chris

I learned that many people climb Mount Everest.  Mount Everest is very hard to climb.  Over 100 people have died trying to climb it.  Mount Everest is 29,035 feet.  The wind can blow over 200 mph.  The first attempt was in 1921.  There has been 4,000 attempts and counting.  It is over 60 million years old.  People love reaching the summit  .It is 8,848 meters. There are 18 different climbing routes on Everest.  It takes about 40 days to climb it!  You have to let your body adjust so you would go in a tent and relax.  If you don't let your body adjust you could die.  A lot of people think it is cool to climb Mount Everest.  Some people don't.  Mount Everest is very dangerous to climb, but

for some people it is not impossible to climb.
