welcome to our sports news today tom
i’m so glad to be invited here today
as everyone knows you have conquered
mount whitney in california
that’s right
how long have you been climbing the
mountain
it’s been about five years incidentally
five years ago on a flight to new
zealand i watched the film everest
in which adventurers have conquered the
mountain in the blizzard i immediately
wanted to start climbing
so the movie inspired you right
exactly
what is the height of the highest
mountain you have conquered
it’s mount whitney in california the
highest in mainland america at 4
421 meters
that’s great i admire you very much
and when do you usually go climbing on
the mountain
my friends and i formed a climbing team
we are both freelancers so we usually
have a lot of free time
we usually spend the whole of december
climbing
is it difficult
i think it’s very difficult i think the
altitude awful weather and punishing
temperatures all pose a serious threat
to those who want to submit the mountain
what difficulties do you face
my biggest difficulty when climbing is
about temperature i remember at that
time the temperature dropped to a
negative 20 degrees

yes it’s very dangerous for us if we
weren’t careful we would have been swept
away by a
blizzard what an interesting talk show
