...Peak performance. To demonstrate that the environment is a common cause, 15 U.S., Soviet and Chinese climbers hope to reach the top of 8,848-meter (29,028-ft.) Mount Everest on Earth Day. Those who get there will place satellite calls to heads of state, then pick up garbage and gear dumped by previous expeditions...
