March 1, 200521 yr ¨ It's like 2,800 metres and I did it with my brother (12), my father and many tourists. It was perfect. :D
March 1, 200521 yr Author hey it's not that impressive. You just need a pair of good shoes, lots of patientce and chocolates and that's it! as the first person who climbed the Everest said (and I can't remember his name): "It's just one foot after the other" Plus on the way back we could slide on the snow, and my brother and I must have done quite a show sliding, because there was a group of European torurists and they were all laughing at us and taking pictures of our slides :lol: :sneaky:
March 1, 200521 yr :D that's wonderful carla ;) chocolates as chris says "please go to coldplay.com, listen to more coldplay, and please eat more chocolates" :D i read another things about Everest.... -Why you climbed mount Everest? -Because it was there...

March 2, 200521 yr most of my city mountains were volcanoes long time ago :stunned: my area is one of the most active simologically in my country :stunned: ... but our highest mountain is Revolcadores (2000 meters high)....
March 2, 200521 yr i was gonna ask but i thought everyone here knew and i didn`t want to look stupid :smug:
March 5, 200521 yr Author I also velieve the UK didn't have mountains :sneaky: It's called "Volcàn Villarica" it's located in Chile, in the 10th region. There about 8 nice volcanos here and that one was the closest to where I was. On Easter holidays (2nd wekk of April I think) I'm climbing this one which is called El Plomo and it's located in Chile's capital, Santiago. We have a mountain range (I'm not sure If that's the world) which is called "Los Andes" and it goes all through America and that's where we get our mountains and volcanoes :D P.S: I also hate camping :lol:
March 6, 200521 yr i know in polish it`s called ANDY the mountain chain i mean. so when you`re climbing mount everest carla ,my superwoman?
March 6, 200521 yr well, tis true that the uk doesnt have any mountains the size of what youre thinking, but you cant call them hills... :P i suppose you could call them peaks...? i dno... i hate camping too..especially in sub-zero temps!
March 6, 200521 yr Author I'm climbing the Everest in many many years; I haven't even climb the Aconcagua or Ojos del Salado yet! (the biggest mountain outside the Himalayas and the biggest active volcano). I'm a memeber of the Deutschen Andenverein, which is a German Andinism Club in the capital, so probably I'll be going up every 2 weeks to climb something, so you'll probably get informed and plenty of pictures. A mountain is different to a high hill, in our term, because a mountain always more rocky and i doesn't have trees on the top, neither grass or any form of living plants. In big hill you have plants on top, like very thin and yellow grass-type-of-thing and you get this bugs . You also get plenty of snow in big mountains and you might need to use especiall equipment, which doesn-t happen in other cases. and I-m not a superwonas< there are much better climbers than me, aswell as sailors, which is my other passion :D
March 6, 200521 yr Author I did this one 2 days after the volcano. It's called Huerquehue, and it's part of a National Park here. It's a 15 km trekking, very beautiful and quite hard in the last 3 kkm, but when you get to the top it's incredebly amazing, so it really doesn't matter If it was hard or not. It takes 4 days or 3 to do the entire park, through the trekking system, and I'll probably do that in winter, when it has snowed. I didn't took the picture, which was taken on winter by someone, and in my case it wasn't snowy. that's the park's map; it has 4 lagoons when you get to the top of the hill and they are breath-taking. The park is about 14,000 hectares, but you can walk in private places nearby because they have no fences. that's a lagoon and the other one shows the same volcano I went up, and which is quite near
March 6, 200521 yr Author well I cimb because I like and because it helps me; I have many rocks I've seen many glaciers, snow caves, volcanic caves, trees, flowers, animals, people and I've tried to get used to high levels (above 3'000 metres from the water) and I've seen how you get yellow and old and very tired........... these journeys are to learn tow ork in teams, to have fun and to 'get educational' as you call it :lol: :D
