Mt Everest picture

We are learning about Sir Edmund Hillary this week and have been discussing the difference between climbing the mountain back in 1953 and now. Here is the photo (first one) shared recently showing the long wait climbers have before them before reaching the summit. Hours of waiting. Crazy! What a difference from then to now.
