Even though people put there own lives at risk it's better to have rescuers that can be there to save you. There has been 230 deaths out of 4,000 people that have climbed Mount Everest. Those 230 lives could have been saved if researchers get notified quicker, or some kind of technology that will help. Rescue services should be provided to people climbing Mount Everest, because you never know whose life could be in danger. When people climb Mount Everest, kid, adult, or expert, there should be rescue services for anybody climbing Everest. According to the article “Why Everest?”, in the text it shows that, “They may not be skilled enough. Nobody doubts their strength and fitness, but they may not know enough about mountaineering and the hazards that high altitudes present.” The text is showing that, people amy not be prepared to climb, and they're not going to “shut down” Everest, so rescuers need to basically pick up people that aren't ready to …show more content…

In the article “Why Everest?” the text shows that, “They may have faced bad weather, and they have struggled up the icy slopes.” The text is stating that weather could have also be a cause of people needing rescuing and dying, people can’t help how the weather is.

    Each year climbers flock to Base Camp at the foot of Mt. Everest, spending anywhere from about $15,000 to $114,000 for a shot at the summit. About half of those people make it to the top. 280 people have died trying to climb Everest or make it back down. Yet despite the cost, even your life, the number of attempts and summits is on its way up every year. In Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, Everest stands as symbol of dreams and hopes; for the westerners. To the workers of the mountain, the Sherpas, it was a symbol of God and their way of life.

However, caring those inexperienced climbers at the 8,000 meters above is too extreme for the guides. Shigekawa who is one of Japanese climber on Everest explains that they “were too tired to help.
