About This Quote
Think about the world’s tallest mountains. The highest peaks are found in the Himalayas located in Nepal and Tibet. The highest mountain on earth is named Mount Everest, located in Nepal. It has been climbed by many people from different countries because of its great height.
Everyone who climbs the mountain is proud of being able to say that he or she has reached the summit. But, did you know that the first thing a climber must do before arriving at the summit is to reach a small hill called Camp II? The whole point of going there is for a climber to get used to the altitude before going on to climb higher.
