Real Danger

Danger On The Mountain is the best book I read this year. Did you know Mount Everest is 29,050 feet above sea level? Did you know K2 is the second tallest mountain with a height of 28,269 feet above sea level? It is just 1000 feet lower than Mount Everest which is the biggest mountain. In the past the oxygen tanks leaked so in thin air the tank would run out and you would die from not enough oxygen. You could learn more if you read this book. It was the best book I read this year because I learned about the first person to climb mountains and lots more. If you want to find out more about mountains, and lots more about danger on the mountain you should read this book. I recommend this book to children 8 years old to 11 years old who want to learn about famous mountains and more. By; G.L.

Motens are donenges.

Motens are very scarey. This is worse than falling.
