Jules Stewart explains in his article "Hi-tech gear makes Everest climb
easy," that when Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the summit
of Mount Everest in May 1953, it was hailed as a world event. Forty years
later, an ascent of the 8,848m Everest has nearly become a routine
achievement for any well-bankrolled team using the most modern equipment.
On one day last year, more than 30 mountaineers queued below the summit,
waiting their turn on fixed ropes to struggle up the last few steps to the
highest point on earth. This shows how changes in training techniques and
equipment have made many adventurous activities easier and less risky, thus
increasing the access.
