A Modern Sport - Tracking
The sport of climbing mountains is called tracking. It is a modern sport. Men try to conquer very high mountains for various reasons.Men always want to do what no one has done before, or they want to go where no one has gone before. A difficult mountain is a challenge challenge to them.
Tracking tests man's physical and mental powers. At 20,000 feet sleep is broken, appetite is lost and brain becomes dull. This is because at that height air pressure is very low. There is very little oxygen. And yet some men have gone upto 20,000 feet without the help of the oxygen machine.
The conquest of the Everest by Hillary and Tensing in 1953 is the greatest success of mountaineering. It has proved that human body is most powerful. It has shown that human spirit can conquer anything. It has added to our scientific knowledge of the body, the mind and many other things.
