ADDRESS TO THE FIRST-TIME CLIMBERS

Gentlemen
Being Incharge of the Mountaineering Expedition to Mount Everest, I welcome you all to this world's most arduous climb. I presume that you do not need any extra instructions, guidance and advice. However, I would expect you all to take a special care of a few things. These are like keeping the track clean and guarding yourself against eventual dangers. These safety measures as well as keeping the track clean will make the climb for the next generation an enjoyable adventure sport. First how to keep the track clean:

To keep the Track Clean :

1. Don't throw the trash on the track or to its sides.
2. Plastics, food wrappers, empty tins, aluminium cans, glass, papers, etc, should be put in a separate bag and brought back.
3. Anything that is not per sh able should not be left behind. You know these things don't rot and add to the spoiling of the place.
4. Kitchen waste, if any, while cooking in the tents must also not be left on the track
5. Anything that adds to the ugliness of the place should not be thrown anywhere

On Safety Measures :

1. You know, safety counts the most important. Wear your woollen gear as per the specifications for climbing tie Everest.
2. Take all the necessary equipments with you as per the climbing manual.
3. Ropes, snow axes, knife, gloves etc, that form a part of the climbing equipment should be used very judiciously
4. Crevices in the snow may face you. Be very vigilant as it takes seconds to lose one's life if one ignores them. Double check everything before starting the most difficult climb,
5. Various gadgets like wireless sets, batteries and other communication equipments should be checked to be in perfect working order
6. Don't forget to give an SOS in case you fall into a dangerous situation

How you can contribute in preventing the Everest from becoming The Highest junkyard in the World'

I have already invited your attention on how to keep the track clean. You all must ensure that no wrappers of food items, tins, plastics, bottles, food items or leftovers of anything must be thrown. In fact, no trace that you ever pitched your tents should be seen. It is in your own hands to keep the track and Mount Everest neat, clean and unspoilt. The leftovers, if any, must be brought back down. I hope you'll cooperate in this public cause

Thanks a lot.
