Temperatures can fall to -30 degrees. Climbers must also deal with thin air, high cliffs, and changeable weather.
In 1960, the first Chinese team reached the top from the northern side (the "Death Road") and placed the Chinese national flag there.
In 1975, another Chinese team climbed to the top and brought a ladder to the Second Step, which helped later climbers.
In 2020, a third Chinese taem measured Qomolangma's height as 8,848.86 meters
Because human curiosity and ambition cannot be stopped. Or, as the English explorer George Mallory put it, it is simply "because it's there".
