To most people, Mount Qomolangma is one of the greatest wonders of the world. On the highest place on earth, you will feel like you are able to touch the sky. But only the best climbers reach the top, and that is only if they survive the terrible conditions first. On the mountain, temperatures can fall to -30 degrees. Climbers must also deal with thin air, high cliffs, and changeable weather. Before 1960, no one was able to reach the top of Qomolangma from the northern side. Mountain climbers even called that way the "Death Road", but a Chinese climbing team was determined to make the climb. Why is it called Death Road ? 1 2 Death Road A Chinese climbing team was determined to make the climb. Who ? 8600 meters the distance between the Second Step and sea level On 24 May 1960 ? On 24 May 1960, climbers Liu Lianman, Wang Fuzhou, Qu Yinhua, and Gongbu arrived at the Second Step. It was 8,600 metres above sea level. People said it was so high that even birds could not reach it. Liu allowed his teammates to step on his shoulders. Bit by bit, the climbers pulled themselves up, and they made it past the Second Step. At 4:20 a.m. on 25 May, the Chinese national flag flew above the world's highest mountain for the first time. How did the Chinese team reach the height? 3 Liu Lianman acted as a human ladder to help his teammates climb up.
