Mt Everest 8850m is the highest point of the Earth. The “Mother of the Universe” is known as Sagarmatha in Nepal and Chomolungma (Mother of Goddess) in Tibet. The Everest through which the mountain climbers feel themselves as the most proud and most adventurous person of the world. It was first climbed by Sir Edmond Hillary and world’s climbing hero Late Tenzing Norge Sherpa first climbed the Everest in May 29, 1953.
Everest Base camp is situated on Khumbu glacier at high of 18000ft. All the Mt. Everest climbers assemble here during the starting and at the ending time of there climbing. Normally the climbing duration of this expedition lasts for three month. All the climbers who mass there at the base camp seem really busy with excitement for the preparation of their expedition to reach on the summit.
Some climbers climb this mountain on their own risk without any climbing Sherpa guide; and some climbers go with their own climbing Sherpa guide. Most of the teams carry own their on Internet, Satellite phone, Medical doctor and rest of the modern requirement.
Normally there are four routes to summit the Mt. Everest, Two from Nepal and two from Tibet side. But there are other types of route as well.
After the Base camp, we have to cross crevasses, Sercs and ice black. Similarly we should face to the way up having Chunks of ice as large as our houses where we should used fixed ropes and aluminum ladders to climb ahead camp 1st 6400m.
Camp 1. 6,400m
This camp 1 is situated at the flat area of snow endless snow deep crevasses and mountain walls. Because of the Sun's reflection from this place we get warm and hitting 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 2. 6,750m
This camp 2 is situated at the height of the 6,750m, which is located at the foot of the icy mount Lhotse wall though where we have to go ahead. Whether 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 3. 7,100m
Camp 3 is located at the height of 7100m, adjoining to mount Lhotse wall. After climbing the 350m. 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 4. 8,400m
Now are on at camp 4 which located height of 8,400m; it is the last camp of the Expedition. From here summit is about 450m, 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 to summit is via the narrow South - East Ridge and it precedes the South Summits 28710ft.
From here this way is easy to reach at the summit of the Everest 8850m; and Sir Edmond Hillary and late Tenzing Norge Sherpa used this route in 1953.
