I didn’t know that Green boot is stil lying dead there, frozen to death in 1996. And everyone is passing him. The ethic of those who want to conquer the mountain is aimed to survive not caring about the others unfortunately. 4 people from 100 die. The cost to climb the mountain is around $ 30,000. What for? To die? To live your friend dying? Only for the sake to top the mountain. I was shocked finding this inf yesterday..

I watched this movie last week. I was really excited, this movie keeps me on the edge of my seat. My girlfriend didn’t understand why people do some crazy actions. I try to explain her that it important to man to achieve new goals (like run marathons, Iron-Man, climb a mountain and etc). I think it’s really important to man to make some things like it.
So i like this film very much. After this film i started think about climbing on a mountain.

I just watched this movie last week. I would not like to go for broke to climb Mt. Everest because it is way too risky.

Jake Gyllenhaal!! He’s everywhere nowadays… even on the Everest. Hopefully he won’t write a complaint letter for not finding KFC on the top of the mountain. Kidding! :)

I would rather watch the movie, but climbing Mt. Everest is not for me. Some people like to do this things, adventures people who like to get adrenaline.

This lesson really motivated me to give it a go climbing but as I have not enough courage, money and skill to climb Mt. Everest, I prefer to go and watch the movie to get a little rush of endorphins. I never was a daredevil in my life but always was interested in watching and reading about daredevils.


I think mountain climbers venture themselves in the middle of mountains and rocks to prove themselves that they are strong enough to survive hazardous situations. That’s quite a good approach.


Most daredevils acknowledge that they never knew how powerful they were until they leaved their comfort zone to go on an adventure, Surely such an approach is rewarding and It’s worth the risk.


When we dwell in our comfort zone, we take life for granted. We cannot reach our maximum potentials unless we venture out into the unknowns.
