Welcome to sports today. Tonight on the program we have Debbie

Marsh an exceptional mountain, climber. Debbie is only 17 years old

and she has already climbed Mount Everest. Good evening, Debbie,

good evening. I'm really excited to be here. Debbie tell us how did it

feel to reach the top of Mount Everest? It's hard to describe the

feeling. I was exhausted because it was a very difficult climb, and the

high altitude also makes you feel strange, but I also felt so proud of

myself. I felt on top of the word. Amazing, how old were you when you

started climbing, I first started climbing about five years ago, when I

was 12. That's daring of you, wasn't it? Very physically challenging to

climbing at such a young age. Well my father is an athlete so it

was natural to exercise and keep in It must take a lot of nerve

to climb a mountain as high as Mount Everest. Were you scared at the

I felt as if I was going on a dangerous Expedition, But I

was part of a team of climbers and the others had

more experience than I had. So they took care of me. Have you ever been hurt in a climbing

accident? No, but another climber in my team had an accident. About

two years ago, He fell off the edge of a cliff and was badly hurt. What

happened? We managed to contact an emergency medical team and

they came and took him to the hospital. One last question Debbie,

how does climbing affect your studies? I only go climbing on the

weekend and during school vacations. So I don't usually miss any

school. Well thank you for talking to us

training program. We train teenagers and young adults from the

community to work at asparagus, They gained valuable skills that help
