6 or 7. It was very hard to understand you at the start because you were speaking very fast but towards the end you are slowing down and it was really really good. Overall I can understand you easily but I think you should say rate me instead of rite me

You did very good! First time posting here (just found this for Spanish), but overall you are completely understandable. The only things I noticed that could be improved are a few pronunciations of words:
Mount Everest - Eh - Vuh - Ruhst (Kind of a harder V than you are doing).
Percent - pr - sent (hard S, yours is a little soft in your pronunciation so it almost sounds like you are saying "person")
Vast - when you said "vast majority of climbers" it almost sounded like "waste," definitely a trend of V's being hard to pronounce so maybe write out a list of V words in English and practice pronouncing them all in rapid succession. They are called labiodental sounds, you touch your lower lip to your upper teeth like fat, vat. I think if you practice that you will have an easier time with the V's overall.
The only thing you could work on outside of that is when you are pausing to think try to let there be dead air. A lot of native English speakers say um and so, etc as well for pausing but if you want it to be more professional sounding try to practice just letting there be dead air while you think and not filling it with those words (I know its hard so don't worry about it if you aren't perfect), but the ums become habitual if you let them.

Again you are great though I could understand you very well, many people don't speak nearly as well as you and I can still understand them so you are doing great.
Wife said you are an 8/10 (I had to ask her what the word is for labiodental sounds and so she listened to).

I listened to your audio one more time. Remember English is a weird language sometimes. At the moment, you are pronouncing climber with a strong b sound in the middle but if you check the dictionary it sounds more like klai.mr. Also when you say group. Atm, You say something like goup but remember you have to pronounced the r so you should say groop instead. Good luck 👍 I am sure you will only get better
