With my best wishes Mr. H H

A question which people often ask mountaineers is " Why do you climb mountains?" The most common answer is " Because they are there." But this doesn't tell us the real reasons why people choose this exciting hobby.

Professional mountaineers climb for money, but for many others , climbing a great mountain is a lifelong ambition . For example , Omar Samara, the Egyptian who reached the summit of Everest in 2007, says that he had dreamed of climbing mountains since he was a toddler. He even had photos of Everest on his bedroom walls. But Omar doesn't just climb for himself . He always takes an Egyptian flag with him and leaves it on the mountains.

Some mountaineers say that their hobby is no different from other hobbies , but most people do not understand this because the hobby is so dangerous. Between 1922 and 2006, Everest was climbed by about 3,000 people, but more than 200 of these climbers lost their lives. So perhaps we should ask a slightly different question : " why do people climb dangerous mountains ? " Many mountaineers say the answer is simple : most people want to conquer something during their life. A dangerous mountain is a challenge ; when someone has climbed it, they have reached their goal and they feel fantastic.

The Italian climber Reinhold Messner was the first mountaineer in the world to climb the 14 mountains which are over 8,000 metres high. What is even more amazing is that he was the first man to reach the summit of Everest without the use of oxygen cylinders !

A) Read the passage and answer the questions :1 - Who was the first Egyptian to climb Everest?2 – Why do professional mountaineers climb mountains?

Why do they do it ?
