And there are much more serious difficulties for climbing, 5(include) freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. 6(take) in air is very hard as you get near the top. On May 29,1953, Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary from New Zealand 7(success) reached the top.

It also shows that humans can sometimes be 10(strong) than the forces of nature.
