I wonder if you've noticed that there are no longer old ladies to help across the street? Today, older ladies not stick, but with two walking sticks and a backpack filled with stones and nuts because they all train up to climb Mount Everest, at least up to Base Camp 2
This goes in the footsteps of the Englishman Edward Hillary and New Zealander George Lowe as for exactly 60 years ago reached their career peak, as they were the first ascended and finally conquered the planet's highest mountain. A white affair
A few years ago I visited the Jongleurs Comedy Club in Mile End in London. The evening appeared four stand-up comedians. They were hilarious, one of them was in fact deaf. But it was a black man who pulled lojas americans most tricks. At one point he told his mostly white audience:
"So, what is it with you white people and mountains? I mean, what are you doing up there? It's dangerous for f ** k sake! And where are the bars, the night clubs? I'm telling you, if you ever see a black man on a mountain, he is on the run. "
The first time we encounter in the literature lojas americans that man ascends the mountains of recreational reasons and to enjoy the view in Epistolae familiares written by Renaissance author, Francesco Petrarca. Here he describes his climbing Mont Ventoux in Italy 26 april 1336th An experience that changed his life and work. James Hillman - one of America's great psychologists specializing in archetypal psychology said that the real meaning of Petrarch hike and later reflections was the rediscovery of our inner world, who had been missing since antiquity. In other words, the Renaissance did not begin at the top of a mountain, but during the descent. Les frogs et des rosbif
Since Mallory and Irvine undoubtedly failed attempt to climb Mount Everest in 1924 - though they must have been come very close - the mountain was a bit of an obsession for the British Empire.
1953 was the year when it should succeed. If it did not, had the French obtained the necessary lojas americans permits from the authorities to lead an expedition in 1954. The idea that a Frenchman will be the first to reach the top of the mountain, was an Englishman hard to think about the end, the mountain would be forever been called Mt Everest. It may not occur.
In addition, 2 June 1953 was the date of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. What could be a more beautiful gift for imperial ruler than a hoisted the British flag on the roof of the world? The expedition did actually down the ridge to announce their farm on the same day as she was crowned. Releases on Mount Everest
If you would like to visit the 8,848 meter high mountain, you can either choose to go with the company "Alpine Ascents." Next departure date is 30 marts 2014. The price for this is 485,000 (related 2.7% fee if you pay by credit card).
A less expensive, lojas americans and far less demanding alternative is to read a few wonderful books in the avalanche of publications such as the book industry has seen in years. I have found three books that make up these early expeditions tribute: Stephen Venables: Everest - the Summit of Achievement
The author of "The Conquest of Everest" is George Lowe himself, and with a foreword by his medbestiger, Edward Hillary, written in 2008 shortly before his death. You will also find original photos from the original expedition in 1953.
Finally, I would point out Into the Silence by Wade Davis, who won the prestigious "BBC Samuel Johnson Prize" for its description lojas americans of George Mallory and Andrew Irvins epic - and failed - expedition to the mythical mountain in 1924. The author tells us among other things that the term "to conquer a mountain" comes from the early expeditions members were soldiers of the British Army. An ascent was seen as a military matter, since their mentality was primarily taken from the trenches during the first World War II. The inner pilgrimage
Less can also do it. Tuesday 11 June pointing my own hiking boots towards the Pyrenees that I flock to once a year. Mountains lojas americans are fedtsugere and mountains removes stress. My life goes from being mighty complicated to be about protecting me from sudden storms, thunder, lightning and rain, always have dry socks, protect lojas americans me against the hot sun, not to fall down, find suitable places to pitch my tent.
