Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1902-01-30

Members of mountain climbing clubs
all over the world have been discuss
ing OF late the ACCESSIBILITY of sending
out an expedition to attempt the as
cent of the worlds highest mountain
Mount Everest in the Himalayas.
The mountain climbers are DESTROYS
that Mount Everest should be ascend
ed before the North Pole is reached.
AS there are now half a dozen expedi-
lions pushing on toward the pole with
every prospect that one of them will
succeed in the quest which has at
tracted the adventurous for so many
years, the mountain climbing folk will
have to hurry up. Sir Martin Conway
climbed a mountain in the Himalayas
1880 feet high. This is the highest
point reached in Asia and is only 1900
feet short of the worlds record. It
is. however, ove 5000 feet lower than
the summit of Mount Everest, which
is 20, 200 feet high. 1t is generally
admitted by the mountaineering au-
thorities that human life can be sup
ported at that height. Indeed, more
than one |balloonist has reached that
height and lived to tell the tale.
So far, no one has succeeded in get
ting to the top of Mount Everest, or
of a dozen of the other big mountains
of the Himalayan range. 1t is esti-
mated that the man who sets out to
ascend Mount Everest must be pre-
narad N snend at least six months
in the adventure, and to pay out
thousands of dollars. But the man
who succeeds will gain world wide
fame and the envy of the 20 200 mem
bers OF the worlds mountaineering
clubs.
