Ufuna Ukuthatha Iintengiso? Qalisa ngeMitha ezintandathu

Kwabaninzi abaza kuba ngabalandeli, iphupha lokugqibela ukunyuka iMat. Everest, intaba ephakamileyo kwiplanethi kwiimitha ezingama-8848 (29,029 iinyawo). Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba nabani na onokuyilandela kwiinyawo zikaGeorge Mallory, uSir Edmund Hillary, okanye Ukuqeda iNorgay, kufuneka baqale bafumana amava abalulekileyo kunye nezakhono ezibalulekileyo zokuphucula kwiindawo ezincinci okanye baqalise umngcipheko woqobo okanye ukufa. Kodwa apho kufanele baqale le nkqubo? Bafanele bahambe phi ukuba bafuna ukudibanisa iinzwane zabo emanzini ngaphambi kokuba bathuthele kwiintaba ezinzima? Nazi ezinye iindawo ezinhlanu zokuqala iintaba zokufunda i-craft.
