Dragons : The Dragon Hunt

20. The Preparation for the Hike

• • An hour and a half later • •

The 3 men had finally returned to Sairo and Christopher's house. They were tired, but it never stopped them, they we're happy, because the band is back together. I was happy! Other than that, we need to be prepared for this thing
The Himalayas Mountain Range is very big, 595000 square kilometers, but the drones only has an coverage of 1900 square kilometers (The maximum coverage). We need to be 100 percent prepared for this. Because if we don't, yu may already know the outcome...

They had entered the room, I gave a stare on them, not sure if they got the things that I ordered. Well I hope they got it...

"Status? The permit, ", I asked them

"Right here", Christopher stepped in front, then He showed the permits on his hands

"Complete? "

"Of course, why not?! ", He grinned, crossing his arms

"Nice!! Good", I replied smiling

And after that, I turned to Nafie...

"What about you Nafie? You got all the things needed? Oxygen tanks? Rope? Clips? Grappling hooks?"

"They are on the first floor, ready to use", Nafie replied

"Well you are rich", I chuckled, I do know that Nafie is the richest in the team

"You said it", Nafie laughed

And onto Sairo...

"What about the foods, protein bars, water? ", I asked Sairo

"Well, I have it all. I will never fail you Dennis", He said, smiling

"And finally, Kent. "

"Oh, okay. Well you need to listen carefully here and pay attention, we need every single detail here", Kent said seriously, as He started the explanations to us, He scoured any information he got from his search an hour and a half ago..

"You may start now Kent", I motioned my hand as He started the explanation

Kent started clearing his throat, "Okay, so where do we start.... Oh okay, the overview:

The current official elevation of 8,848 m (29,029 ft), recognised by China and Nepal, was established by a 1955 Indian survey and subsequently confirmed by a Chinese survey in 1975.

In 1865, Everest was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society, as recommended by Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India, who chose the name of his predecessor in the post, Sir George Everest, despite Everest's objections.

Mount Everest attracts many climbers, some of them highly experienced mountaineers. There are two main climbing routes, one approaching the summit from the southeast in Nepal (known as the "standard route") and the other from the north in Tibet. While not posing substantial technical climbing challenges on the standard route, Everest presents dangers such as altitude sickness, weather, and wind, as well as significant hazards from avalanches and the Khumbu Icefall. As of 2019, over 300 people have died on Everest, many of whose bodies remain on the mountain.
