News seen by children and teenagers, it’s franceinfo junior every day on franceinfo radio. This Monday, we welcome the CM2 students from the Henri Wallon school in Palaiseau in the Paris region.
To answer their questions about Everest, the show invites Catherine Destivelle, a French climber and mountaineer. She holds several records. For example, she is the first woman to have climbed the three great north faces of the Alps in winter and alone. She has written several books for children. In franceinfo junior, she talks about mountaineering after the release of the documentary by the Youtuber Inoxtag who climbed Everest, the highest peak in the world.
“Where is Everest? How many mountains are there? How high is Everest?” the schoolchildren first ask into the microphone.
Leyna then speaks: “How long does it take to climb Everest?”
“But how did he manage to eat on Everest? How do they relieve themselves?” Robben and Oumar ask.
This adventure is not without danger and this is the opportunity to discuss them: avalanche, serac fall, health problems, cold…
Many climbers, more or less experienced, want to do this same expedition, which causes overtourism: “We need to slow this down.”reacts the guest.
