When they reached the Second Step, a 30-metre-high wall of rock, the thin air took their strength away. Liu Lianman, one of the climbers, fell back four times. He knew he could not climb further, but he chose to be a “human ladder” for his teammates. He lowered his body and let Qu Yinhua stand on his shoulders. Every second was painful, but Liu made every effort to hold on. When Qu Yinhua climbed up, he helped Liu up too. Later, they ran out of oxygen. It was dangerous to climb without it, but the team gave all their oxygen to Liu so that he could carry on. They supported each other and reached the top at 4:20 a.m. on May 25. They were the first Chinese people to climb the difficult North Ridge. 1. How many climbers tried to climb Mount Qomolangma in 1960?  2. What problem did they meet on the Second Step?  3. Why did Liu Lianman become a “human ladder”?  4. Did they succeed in the end?
