We couldn't breath to well but it was all worth it in the end. 
Base Camp - The base camp wasn't to bad. It was flatter than I expected but still rockey.
 Khumbu Icefall - It was a steep, cold climb as anyone would guess. It took a while to get to flat land again. It is easy to get injured on the Icefall so we had to be careful and tried not to drop anything cause that's a long climb down.
Camp 1 - Camp 1 wasn't hard to pass but we did need to climb by a steep part made of rocks. It was nice to have a break tho. Not a major part of our climb. ]]> 2017-06-13 12:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/22justiceg/shjznns65h5h/wish/176238560 22kiahnib https://padlet.com/22justiceg/shjznns65h5h/wish/176238677 Hiking boots, pants, shirt, hat, gloves, and sweatshirt. 99$ for a sweat shirt, 74$ for gloves, 150$ for hiking boots , 42.95$ for a hat, 79.88$ for a shirt, 102$ for pants. You need the essentials so yeah. They are also to keep you warmish on your way up.]]> 2017-06-13 12:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/22justiceg/shjznns65h5h/wish/176238677 22justiceg https://padlet.com/22justiceg/shjznns65h5h/wish/176238799 We will carry an oxygen tank; if we don't then we will die at the top. Mt. Everest is the tallest point in the world. So when you reach the summit you will have very little oxygen because of the altitude. They should provide them if they don't already.]]> 2017-06-13 12:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/22justiceg/shjznns65h5h/wish/176238799 22justiceg https://padlet.com/22justiceg/shjznns65h5h/wish/176238934

Mount Everest was named after Sir. George Everest.

Everest is over 60 million years old.

Everest is located between Nepal and Tibet. It is part of the Himalayan Mountain Range.

Tibetans call Everest, "Chomolungma," which means, ''Mother Goddess of The Earth."

From 1924 to June 2016, 282 people died. In that time span, there has been 7,646 summits.

Most die on Everest by trying to climb without supplemental oxygen.

According to Edmund, it's good to have climbing experience and to be fit. He didn't get sleep and they ate a lot of rice and hot noodles. He said becoming 'Sir' was uncomfortable at first. But to him, it was a considerable honor. He says he had to force himself to eat. He had a lot of hot weak tea to keep him going. Thank you Sir Edmund Hillary for that information and help. ]]> 2017-06-13 12:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/22justiceg/shjznns65h5h/wish/176238938 22kiahnib https://padlet.com/22justiceg/shjznns65h5h/wish/176658998 Western Cwn-
Camp II- The walk here was very simple. The elevation increased slightly. But, the snow was flat for the most part.
Camp III- This climb was much harder. The ice was jutting out in every which way as we were climbing up. Not to mention the snow kept falling from beneath my feet and the elevation was growing higher.
Summit- The climb to the Summit was definitely the hardest. You had to pass through Camp IIII which was very steep. Nothing felt better than finally reaching the Summit though.
