WOW!!!! I would think that summiting Mount Everest would be really challenging because you would have a difficult time getting used to the air on the ground

SO COOL!!!!!! I had so much fun climbing to the base camp . I can't wait to sumit Mt. Everest. I would have a realy hard time clinbing mt . everest. it would be chalenging because of the air changing . I bet I would get AMS!!:)
i think once you got down the mountain it would be hard to get used to the air on the ground

I would probobly get frostbite if i reached the summit because at such high altitude it must be freezing!!!!

THAT TOTALLY ROCKED!!!!!!! That was challenging and doing the real thing, I can't even imagine. Mount Everest is huge. It's almost like I'm an ant and above me is Burj Khalifa in Dubai. I'd be tiny! And the air was so thin. It took forever to acclimatize up there. I am determined to reach the summit and I will!!!!!!
















P.S. GREAT COMMENTS TO EVERYONE, EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T POST ANY YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG that would be really really hard to climb in real life but in the simulation i completely agree with Jenna , when you get to ground level it would be hard for me to breath

I think that climbing Mount Everest would be SCAREY! But it would be a cool experience! I personally would not climb because I'm scared of heights.But I think people would have a blast climbing!

I learned that in Pakistan has a big population and the majority of them are muslims. Also a lot of the people that live there live on a farm.

I think I would like climbing Mount Everest but just to camp. The reason i would like to climb it is because I love heights and the outdoors so I think for me it would be a challenge that I would like to take!

I think it would be freaky summiting Mount Everest because of the thought of all the people that had died on the mountain and you would be wondering if you were next. I thought that all the challenges on the mountain too were extremely hard to pass by.
