Experienced Required for Everest Expedition:

Each member of the expedition must have high degree of physical fitness and mental preparation with appropriate climbing training or mountain climbing such as  covering climbing techniques, glacier travel, rope fixing, ascending, descending, safety techniques, abseiling, belaying, use of oxygen, mask and regulator and proper understanding of mountaineering skills etc before heading to higher elevation.

Climber should have proficiency of at least 6,000 meters, mixed with a multitude of Alpine mountaineering or alternatively have taken part in a previous 8,000 meters expedition. Our statistics indicates, those who have been to 7000 to 8,000 meters peak previously have a significant   chance of getting to the top of Everest.  We would strongly advise you to climb one of the other 7000 or 8,000 meters peaks before heading to Everest, as to ensure your financial investment as well as successful ascent and a safe return hpme. Exceptionally, however, climbers who have not had the chance of climbing 7000 to 8,000 meters peak may consider Everest if they have an adequate depth of experience.

This expedition is not “guided” because this is not a realistic proposition in the high-altitude realm of 8,000 meters and above. “Guiding” and being “guided” implies the intimate supervision and care of a “client” by a “Guide” who can be responsible for the direct and immediate control of safety. On Everest, such a direct duty-of-care, implicit in the traditional guide-client relationship, is not possible.

Climbing Routes of North Side:

Everest Expedition via North lies in Tibet, northeast ridge route, begins from with the trek to the Rongbuk Glacier accessible from Tingri by jeep to Chinese Base camp (5,180m), which is located on a gravel plain just below the glacier.

There is an intermediate Middle Camp before reaching the Advance Base Camp. To reach Middle Camp climbers ascend the medial moraine of the east Rongbuk Glacier up to the base of Changtse (6,100 m).

The Advanced Base Camp (6500m) is below the North Col as well as there are 3 camps above before final summit push. The route is in a way more technical because there is more exposed rock and the weather is much more severe than on Nepalese side as it is exposed to winds all the time.

Camp 1 is located on the North Col, where climbers traverse long and humdrum acclivity of the glacier to the toe of the Col. Rigid rope and a ladder is used to ascend to the camp 2 (7,775m)  from the north ridge(7,010m).

From Camp 2 the diagonal motion along the North Face leads to foot of Yellow Band and we reach Camp 3 (8,230m) where we phase the final summit as it is our last camp.

There are three popular Steps after camp 3.

First Step (8,500 m) is a risky path to the core of the climb.

Second Step (8,580 m) called “Chinese ladder” aids vertical climbing.

The Third Step is (8,690 m)  inconsequential step with a snow slope of 50 degrees as well as the final summit ridge to the summit apex
