Climbing blindly
Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. 1. Asia is home to all five of the world’s highest mountains. Mount Everest’s peak(山峰) is five and one-half miles above sea level. That is very high!
Many climbers have tried to climb to the peak of Mount Everest. 2. Since then, about 900 people have survived the climb to Mount Everest’s top.
One of the most successful climbers is Erik Weihenmayer. Like all who try to climb this huge mountain, Erik faced strong winds, snow, and avalanches(雪崩). 3. After losing his sight at age 13, Erik began climbing at age 16. He has climbed the tallest mountains on five continents. Erik became the first blind person to reach the peak of Mount Everest.
At the age of 32, Erik began his climb as part of a 19-member team. 4. By using them, fellow climbers could quickly warn him of such things as a big drop on the right or a big stone to the left.
5. He struggled through 100 m.p.h. winds and sliding masses of snow, ice, and rock. Because the air became thinner the higher Erik climbed, he wore an oxygen mask, as do many who climb high mountains. It took Erik about two and a half months to reach the top of this huge mountain.
A．This mountain is located in Asia.
B．During his climb, Erik faced many dangers.
C．Everest is believed to be more than 60 million years old.

E．Erik used long climbing poles to feel his way on the mountain.
F．However, what really made Erik’s climb unbelievable is the fact that he is blind.
G．The first people to reach the peak were Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
