Twenty-five-thousander

Hey kiddo, have you heard about mountains? They are the huge land formations that have steep sides and reach high up in the sky. Now, have you also heard about numbers? They can help us count things like how high we can climb on a mountain.

When we say twenty-five-thousander, it means a mountain that is really, really tall - it reaches up to 25,000 feet in the air! That's like stacking over 4,000 grown-up people one on top of the other!

Now, not all mountains are that tall. In fact, only a few of them in the world have such a great height. It takes a lot of effort to climb a twenty-five-thousander mountain because the air is thin and the weather can be really cold and snowy all the time.

But for those who love high-altitude adventures, climbing a twenty-five-thousander can be an exciting and challenging experience. Do you think you're ready to conquer one of them someday?
