Social Science "Why did the Japanese attorney who earns the most in the country go to the heights and poles where there is a risk of death? Why did he start climbing to the top of the world's highest peak, Mount Everest? He explains why he wants to abandon the elegant life of a wealthy class in the city center and live in the thrilling place where his life is in danger? This is the highest peak in the world. At an altitude of 8848m, there are only clouds and the sun above him. I don't have the vocabulary to describe the magnificence of the majestic scenery beneath my eyes. The journey to Mount Everest took more than a month from the start to the climb, and several members of the same team were taken to hospitals along the way. Some retired. On the route, there are many bodies of climbers who have tried to climb in the past. The experience of overcoming such a harsh journey makes the scenery from the highest peak in the world shine even more. Indeed, compared to years ago, commercial mountaineering has led to the development of safer and easier climbing routes. The hurdles for climbing Everest and other heights have been lowered dramatically thanks to extensive Schleper support, fixed ropes, improved mountaineering equipment and oxygen tanks, and lighter weight. Even so, there are many major accidents every year, including frostbite, spinal cord injuries and deaths. Although it is difficult to ascertain precise statistics, the annual death rate on Mount Everest divided by the number of climbers who issue climbing permits is still 1-2 percent. Considering that one in dozens of participants dies, there is no doubt that there is still a high risk for leisure. I took such a risk twice in May 2018 and May 2024. There is no big difference in the risk of reaching the summit in the past two times, and there is no big difference in the beauty of the scenery before me at the summit. But my feelings were quite different from the first time and the second time.
