Biology Question

[Tigger17]

Why do you think that people who were climbing high altitude mountains, such as Mount Everest, would need to stay at a base camp for a period of time before continuing their climb?

Altitude acclimatization.

How very American of you, Naz.

I wondered that, I deleted the 's' because it looked wrong.

Anyways Thanks NazNomad :)
