much cheaper and lots of people get inspired by the stories of Edmund
Hillary, Tenzing Norgay and Yūichirō Miura. But you should be very
careful and always remember about some guidelines.
1. You need to know where are you going. So always remember
about cardinal directions. You need to know them perfectly, without extra
technologies like GPS or compass.
2. Teach your route before ascension.
3. Find a little group of people to conquer together.
4. Don’t save your money on guide. He will save your life if you
get in trouble.
5. Never walk on long distance, especially at high altitude. You
are risking to lose all your energy and die without any help.
6. Always check weather. Most of deaths happens because of it.

ity to 0%.

able.
8. If you get in trouble don’t panic. Stay calm and focused. You
need to give SOS signal and hope for help.

have bad health, troubles with the cardiovascular system, brain or muscles.
