" On top of the World "

In the story " On top of the World " , Hillary and Norgay faced many obstacles. One obstacle is when it was -27 degrees Fahrenheit. It was an obstacle because they had to wear about three layers of clothing. Other obstacles were when they ate the last dates, apricots, sardines, and biscuits. It was an obstacle because it was their last food supply. Another obstacle was there wasn't that much air to breathe in and there wasn't much time. That was an obstacle because they had to use oxygen . The fourth obstacle was when they had to climb a 40 ft. rock to get to the top. Those were hard obstacles they had to go through.
