    With its highest point at 29,028 feet in the troposphere, A.K.A. the tallest mountain in the world, Everest was also known for its quite lofty death rate. Especially in the summer of 1996 when three mountain climbing teams had decided to try to achieve the feat of reaching its summit. Jon Kraheur was one of the few survivors that year but to this day still holds the memories of the events that had taken place. Rob Hall, Doug Hansen, Scott Fischer, and many others had fallen victim to the mountain. What had ensued on the mountain were examples of both, good and bad, human nature which were shown through weaknesses and strengths.…

    The entrance beckoned our arrival with a musty damp scent from years of still life in darkness. We had explored this mine a few times before and found it to be the biggest one accessible to adventurers like us needing to fulfill our desire of adrenalin brought on by the many aspects of danger that lie within. Coda led the way and I carefully ducted through the low overhead opening of rock and stone that was the entry to the bowels of this mountain. The feeling of the cool damp air on my exposed skin ran a shiver down my spine as I moved forward leaving the morning sun and safety of the outside world behind. The sound of crushed rocks under our feet echoed off the solid stone walls stretching far into the distance before fading away in silence. After about 200 feet the…

Here the check-in is completed, welcome-drink served, luggage taken by porters and electronic universal key to the resort room, restaurants and all resort-island attractions given. The straight passage through the spacious reception lobby leads to the pier where speedboats are ready to take guests to the island. During the seven-minute voyage by sea, one can contemplate the cable road on nine massive pillars, which when lit at night looks like an immense, bright rainbow if viewed from the Alpine Coaster or from Water Park side, and it leaves a…
