Man returns to home state after climbing Mount Everest
A Nottingham man is back in New Hampshire after climbing to the summit of Mount Everest.
Joe Pratt told WMUR-TV that anyone who climbs the 29,000-foot Everest and survives is lucky. He said the hardest part of the venture was coming down after reaching the summit.
Recent news of several climbers not making it back down only made matters worse, according to Pratt. In one weekend, four people died. A traffic jam of hikers was blamed as a factor in their deaths.
Pratt, who returned last week, said he came face-to-face with climbers virtually stuck on Mount Everest, with their bodies frozen solid.
