Everest expedition from Tibet side has become more popular among the
mountaineers to make their dream come true to stand on the summit of
Everest. Among the several reasons, low cost of royalty and other basic
mountaineering services as well as the safest route to the summit are
the
key factors to attract more Everest climbers from North Col. than from
the
South Col. Technically, it is more challenging than the South side but does
not have the ice fall danger. One of charming of Everest North Ridge
route
is that it offers the view of virtually the whole route from the base
camp.
Expedition initially starts from driving to Base Camp at 5,200m and
from
there it is 22 km to ABC at 6,400m with yak support. From ABC the
route
continues up the East Rongbuk glacier and then to snow slopes to the
North
Col at 7,000m where Camp 1 is established on snow. This is a
comfortable
camp location, with great views across the North Face and East Rongbuk
Glacier. However, it is not expansive. Climbing snow slopes, Camp II
will
be pitched at7400m. at the head of the snow ramp that stretches up
from
the Col. and the camp could be windy. The route from Camp II to Camp
III
consists of a series of rock and shingle steps and easy terrain. Camp
III
will be at 7900m. on rocky shelves. The route from Camp II to Camp III
is
quite windy. From C III the route traverses across a series of rock
steps
and snow slopes, then again on mixed rock and snow to Camp 4 at 8,400m.
on
rocky ground, but sometimes on ledges cut into snow, depending on
snowfall in the preceding season. The summit day starts from here. The
route consists of mixed rock and snow steps some of them are quite
steep to
the NE ridge and then finally to the summit via the Three Steps.
