The following passage isn't homework but a test question which I am practicing now.I'd like to see how other people (especially native English speakers ) answer it.
Just as computer technology advances almost daily and back roads become highways and then freeways,many people believe that surely by now the tracks and camps on Everest are permanent fixtures that are improved each year. After all,in the Alps you can climb to huts highabove the snow line and sleep in a comfortable bed and order food and wine from a concierge.
For Everest climbers,there has been progress,too,but it lies only in the technology of our equipment and communications. The mountain remains.........

Thank you for all the anwsers offered.
There're some other questions which I can't get them straight.Or maybe it's something not possible to be put into words .I wanna ask anyway.Here they are!
1: From a very short passage like the excerpt I submit ,how can I grasp the main points or how would u approach it if somehow you aren't capable to spot the point from the given example? As I mentioned earlier,it's a test question,which means there is very little time for me to think and do the work.
2:Is it ok to provide some possible solutions or try to connect the last couple
sentences and go on my own ideas which perhaps aren't stated by the original
and then end the way I want? I feel I am constrained by the "golden rules' of the
composition writing approach in a way and I become so "clumsy" that I can't squeeze out a piece of "what I think "when I think of these writing principles.

Same as grammar problems I have . I can blah blah a lot if I don't painstakingly take care of the grammar to every detail .What do you think it's more important? To fluently express your ideas with some grammatical problems or try to balence both?Which would look better? If you were a teacher,which would you prefer? There's no" choice C" for now.Please don't tell me to "conquer both or I will sooner or later be conquered .

untouched by civilization's need to go and finish everything faster and better than before. Instead it offers to climbers sanctuary from the everyday worries with its empty mountainsides, open skies unfettered with phone lines and skyscrapers, and unimaginable scenery that only nature could create. It gives climbers more than technology could ever offer the human race- the chance to be a part of nature's beauty.

Conclusion is the entire story, paragraphs summed up/brought together, in an attractive/thought provocing way.
Heres a quote from Mic Works on essays:
Your closing paragraph should connect the important points of your essay. You can either answer any remaining questions not previously covered, or you may want to leave your readers with a thought to ponder on their own!

The mountain remains rugged, challenging and beautiful in its natural state. It is truly a test of man's skill against the elements of nature.

...........,however, a junk yard, despoiled by the very people who are attracted to its raw beauty, driven by some nostalgic delusion, and climbed more by the power of the cheque book than the power of the mind and body. Is this progress?.
