Hello
students this page is for you! But before we begin, we
want to remind you that "climbing
can kill you",
as Gary Neptune puts it so well. High Altitude
Mountaineering, such as climbing Everest and these
other 8000 meter peaks is an extremely dangerous
activity, where
people die every year.
Frankly we cannot think of any more dangerous activity
on earth!
Every
year we received hundreds of e-mail questions from
students. We have made the below lesson plans for you
and your teachers! These will answers almost all of
your questions. No we do not write the reports for
you.

Expedition and 7th and 8th grade physical education
teacher from Phoenix, Arizona, is the primary author
of these plans. His duties as base camp manager was
performing daily correspondence with students and
adults around the world and sharing thoughts and
curriculum information.
