Check out this really cool, and flashy video outlining the approach and ascent of the NE Ridge route on Mount Everest.
After arrival at Everest base camp, we will acclimatize for a couple of days while the Sherpa team establishes our advanced base camp(ABC). This will allow for optimal adjustment to the new altitudes and environment and permit the team to progress very slowly, using two intermediate camps, to advanced base camp at 6440M.
We will use the following four camps above the 6440M ABC:
- Camp One – On the snow, North Col 7060M
- Camp Two- On the snow, 7400M
- Camp Three – On the rock shelves, 7900M
- Camp Four – On rocks, snow or ice, 8400M
I am off for a few days of ski mountaineering in the Canadian Rockies with some friends. Looking to train for Mt Everest? Ski touring and mountaineering is, in my humble opinion, by far the most effective, fun and low impact training option for any climbing expedition. More on this later, i’m late as usual – gotta go!
