This expedition trip begins from Kathmandu and 23 minutes flight into Lukla. It will take 5/6 days to reach in Mt. Everest Base Camp and all the international Mt. Everest climbers assemble in the base camp situated on the north of Khumbu glacier at the altitude of 5380m. After the Base camp, climbers have to cross crevasses, ice block and rock cliffs. There are several routes on Mt. Everest, we follow the classical route, traditionally the most reliable way to the summit. Nevertheless, we should face to the Chunks of large ice, where we should use fixed ropes and aluminum ladders to climb up to first camp.
A general route information:
Camp I : 6,400m. (20000ft.)
This camp 1 is situated at the flat area of endless snow deep crevasses and mountain walls. Because of the Sun's reflection from this place we get warm and heating ambience at this place. In the night we listen the deep murmuring cracking sounds of crevasses beneath our tent. These are the areas where we have to walk to reach camp 2.
Camp II : 6,750m. (21000ft.)
This
camp 2 is situated at the height of the 21000ft, which is located at
the foot of the icy mount Lhotse wall though where we have to go ahead.
Weather is here is good but bad clouds roll in from the low range of the
Himalayan valleys to the bottom of our camp two. But wind here some
times seems very violent enough to destroy our tents. After climbing
these palaces we reach camp 3.
Camp III : 7,100m. (22300ft.)
Camp 3
is located at the height of 22300ft, adjoining to mount Lhotse wall.
After climbing the 4000ft. Lhotse wall by using fixed rope and with
prior acclimatization it leads us to camp 4. Also on the way we have to
ascend the steep allow bands (lose, down -slopping and rotten
limestone). From their crossing short snowfield the route moves ahead up
the Geneva Spur to the east before finishing the flats of the south
col. (Another wells name meaning Saddle of pass). Oxygen should probably
be use above base camp 3 incase of needed to the climbers.
Camp IV : 8,400m. (26000ft.)
Now
we are on camp 4 which located at the height of 26000ft; it is the
last camp of the Expedition. From here summit is about 500m, distance
far. This is the final and dangerous part of the climbing. This place is
besieged by ferocious and violent winds. The normal best way to reach
the summit is via the narrow South - East Ridge and it precedes the
South Summits 28710ft.
From here the way is easy to reach at the
summit of the Everest 29028ft; and late Sir Edmond Hillary and l Tenzing
Norge Sherpa used this route in 1953.
