The effects of Hypothermia on your body.
This is an account of the amazing feats that have been reached by the brave men and women who have taken the daring quest to climb the tallest mountain in the world. People who climb this mountain forget about what coutry they come from and all join together in the coommon goal to climb the tallest mountain in the world.
"I stayed [on the summit] for about an hour.... It is very cold, naturally, it takes your strength.... Ny position was that i would not be good if I stood around freezing, waiting.... If you are immobile at that altitude you lose strength in the cold, and then you are unable to do anything."
