Mount Everest 8848 m. Expedition: is the highest peak in the world and has been proved to be the benchmark of climbing achievement. ‘Sagarmatha’ is the Nepali name given to Mount Everest while Tibetan people call it ‘Chomolungma’. Everest is located in the Mahalangur range of the great Himalaya. Everest expeditions have become very popular in recent years. In fact, Everest receives around one thousand summit attempts every year. Sir Edmund Hillary and the late Tenzing Norgay Sherpa were the first to summit this peak (via South Col) at 11:00 am on 29th May 1953 after a long effort. Everest can be climbed both from the south ridge (Nepal) and north ridge (Tibet). The Everest Expedition offers a once in a lifetime experience to adventure seekers where you may encounter many seen and unseen challenges, including harsh weather conditions, high altitude, and even sheer exhaustion.
All the Everest climbers assemble at Everest Base Camp at the start and at the end of the expedition. This is located to the north of the Khumbu Glacier at 5500m/18000ft. We have to cross several ice blocks, seracs, and crevasses before we reach the way to our high camps.
Camp 1 (6400m/20000ft)
Camp 1 is located on a flat area close to massive snow crevasses and mountain walls. We get warmth and heat here due to the sun’s rays. We can hear the deep murmuring and cracking sounds of crevasses beneath our tent at night; these are the areas we have to walk through to reach our next camp.
Camp 2 (6750m/21000ft)
Camp 2 is located at the foot of the icy Mount Lhotse wall. Usually, the weather here is fine but dark clouds may roll in from the Himalayan valleys. Sometimes the wind here seems to be violent enough to destroy our tents.
Camp 3 (7100m/22300ft)
Camp 3 adjoins the Mount Lhotse wall. On the way to camp 4, we have to ascend the steep bands. Our route moves ahead up the Geneva Spur, after crossing a short snowfield, before finishing on the flats of the South Col. We have to use oxygen above camp 3 as you may need it.
Camp 4 (7990 m/26000 ft)
This is the last camp of our Everest Expedition and the summit is just about 858 m from here. Indeed, this is the final but the most dangerous part of our expedition. This place is besieged by ferocious and violent winds. Normally, the best way to reach the summit is via the narrow South-east ridge. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa summited Everest from the same way.
