Recently, the publishing of the new book “Mount Everest” has attracted attention from the climbing enthusiast group.This book records the whole process of adventure that has been regarded as the symbol of courage and perseverance in recent years.Nearly 12,000 people have climbed Mount Everest, most of which are customers of tourism companies.The book covers the 30 -year development history of Mount Everest’s peak industry, challenging the existing narrative about the world’s highest peak.
The book author Will Cockrell is both a climber and a journalist.“我确实报道过冒险和攀登故事。这是我能够很好把握的专业领域之一,因为这是我做过的事,我了解这些攀登者。” 但在写作初期,科克雷尔说,He feels that readers don’t need another book about Mount Everest.”I have to stand outside the field to interpret the controversial story about the whole chaos about Mount Everest.”
In this book, Cokrael tells how the adventure moves by so many people.Most of the top who will pay more than six digits.Recently, the clutch includes blind people, two 13 -year -old children, seventy -older, and even double amputations.Technology makes oxygen lighter and more reliable, and the weather on the mountains becomes more predictable.Under the leadership of the local Shilba, they grasped the rope armrest, breathed others stored sufficient bottled oxygen for them, and would adapt to life for several weeks in a camp with thousands of people.

Climbing Everest did not become a “luxury cruise” tourism project overnight.In 1953, after the successful climbing of the British climbing athletes, it was once considered a feat in human history.This mountain peak has always been a test of mountaineer skills and endurance.In 1963, Jim Whittaker became the first American to reach Mount Everest.
Around 1980, Jim’s twin brothers Lou Whittaker decided to explore from the north side of Mount Everest. He was both a climber and a tour guide.Lu Whitek needs about $ 1,80,000 sponsorship. A rich businessman in Texas is willing to contribute, but the condition is that he can go.As a result, the most impossible alliance reached.
“Before that, there was no climbing guide to the Everest, and he had a clear responsibility for the success of this person’s success and personal safety.” Cokrael wrote in the book.Since then, the wealthy businessman has contributed to different wizards to bring him to climb the other famous peaks in the world.In 1985, after the third attempt, he finally boarded Everest and became the 174th person who successfully reached Everest.This book does not stop there.It focuses on the stories of the Charba guides at the foot of Everest and the story of their high -paying customers.In 1992, commercial climbing began to appear for the first time.Subsequently, in 1993, the climbers who successfully reached the summit within a quarter were more than 26 years after the first time human beings reached the Everest.
This book has also caused a lot of controversy.Some readers pointed out that the book did not disclose the actual operating data of any local guide company.The book stays more in the shallow description of many tourists climbers.
Another reader believes that this book ignores a more important part behind the story of Mount Everest: the local Shilba people gradually realize that their roles in the history of Mount Everest, and the same long -term trap of colonialism and imperialism cannot be divided into division.EssenceNevertheless, the book is still considered to provide different narratives about the world’s highest peak.
