42 days MT- EVEREST North Col Expedition from Nepal - Tibet (Intermediate)

The North side of Mount Everest is considerably more impressive than the south (Nepal) side. Rising in a sheer 10,000 ft / 3,000 m. from the Rongbuk Glacier, it towers above the Tibetan Plateau. It was to this side of the mountain that the British Expedition in the 1920’s and 30’s came, when Nepal was closed to foreigners.

The company will run expeditions during Late May offers the greatest chances of reaching the summit, after acclimatizing in April and the early part of May, a good rest at base camp the warm summer winds, as they have in the past, will often allow those on the summit to shoot photographs without wearing gloves.

Applicants for the expedition should have proven high-altitude experience of 6,500m. Plus, and be technically competent mountaineers. Climbers wishing to apply for the expedition should send a resume of their climbing experience and obtain acceptance before sending a deposit.

Day 15: ASCENT OF MOUNT EVEREST

Stop At: Mt. Everest Base Camp, kathmandu, Thamel, Tingri County 858200 China
20 Days Reserved for the summit top, from ABC follow the moraine towards the North Col. and cross the glacier easily to its foot. About 1,000 ft / 300 m of fairly deep snow climbing leads to the Col at 7,066 m. The Col forms a fairly wide ridge which has ample room for tents. This will be Camp I. To the south, the Col rises to become the North Ridge. This is straight-forward snow climbing, eventually steeping into rocky shelves and short buttresses. A second camp will be placed at around 7,700 m.

The route to the North East Ridge leading from the top of the North Ridge to the summit will depend on conditions prevailing at the time. We will either follow the North Ridge in it's entirely to the crest of the North-North-East Ridge or make a rising traverse to the right to reach the ridge at a higher point. Last camp will be placed at around 8,300 m.

The final section of the climb takes in the notorious first and second steps. These are short, but abrupt rises on the North-East Ridge, which will provide testing climbing at extreme altitude! It was on the second step that Mallory and Irvine were last seen before they disappeared in 1924. Once this has been ascended, the ridge leads more easily to the summit.
