Why Is Mt. Everest Is Not Worth It By Risking Life

I think climbing Mt. Everest is not worth climbing by risking life even though some people say that when you reach the summit, there is a big feeling of accomplishment. I never understood why people risk their lives to climbing the mountain. Even if it’s their hobbies, there should be safer and more exciting activities than climbing mountains. When I watched and read the works about Mt. Everest in the class, I felt that climbing Mt. Everest is more dangerous and complicated than I thought.

The injury from the mountain can be really serious and will ruin your life
