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.

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.

B．During his climb, Erik faced many dangers.
C．Everest is believed to be more than 60 million years old.
