Mt. Everest South Expedition, is truly a historical and mesmerizing adventure of a lifetime experience following the footsteps of the late legendary Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir. Edmund Hillary all the way to the summit using the same classic South Col route. Mt. Everest world's highest peak at 8,848.86 m and 29, 028 ft high, with a few local names Nepalese calls Sagarmatha and Sherpa, and Tibetans name as Chomolungma, in both languages means great mother. Since the conquest of Mt. Everest on May 29th, 1953 by British Expeditions led by the late Sir John Hunt, followed by hundreds of climbers taking more challenging feats like climbing without oxygen and defying the death zone of thin air, and some Sherpa climbers have repeatedly climbed with record-breaking 20 times by Apa Sherpa from Thame village, well the first 5 times summiteers were Sundare Sherpa of Pangboche village, followed by Ang Rita Sherpa of Thamo village 10 times (honored with a title as Snow Leopard).
The new record and daring challenge continues till the present, whatever your dreams are certainly a great daring climb to the top of Mt. Everest.

1921 The British Mount Everest reconnaissance expedition set off to explore how it might be possible to get to the vicinity of Mount Everest, to reconnoiter possible routes for ascending the mountain, and – if possible – make the first ascent of the highest mountain in the world.
1922 The British Mount Everest expedition was the first mountaineering expedition with the express aim of making the first ascent of Mount Everest 8,848m. This was also the first expedition that attempted to climb Everest using bottled oxygen. The expedition would attempt to climb Everest from the northern side out of Tibet.
1924 The British Mount Everest expedition was—after the 1922 British Mount Everest expedition—the second expedition with the goal of achieving the first ascent of Mount Everest.
1933 The British Mount Everest expedition was, after the reconnaissance expedition of 1921, and 1922 and 1924 expeditions, the fourth British expedition to Mount Everest and the third with the intention of making the first ascent.
1953 The British Mount Everest expedition was the ninth mountaineering expedition to attempt the first ascent of Mount Everest at 8,848.86m, and the first confirmed to have succeeded when Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary reached the summit on Friday, 29 May 1953
1975 The British Mount Everest Southwest Face expedition was the first to successfully climb Mount Everest by ascending one of its faces. In the post-monsoon season, Chris Bonington led the expedition which used rock climbing techniques to put fixed ropes up the face from the Western Cwm to just below the South Summit.
2007 The Altitude Everest expedition, led by the American climber Conrad Anker, arrived at Base Camp below the north face of Everest in May 2007 and retraced the last journey of British climber George Mallory.
Geography
- Everest is 29,035 feet or 8848 meters high and It is over 60 million years old.
- The summit is the border of Nepal to the south and China or Tibet on the north
- Everest was formed by the movement of the Indian tectonic plate pushing up and against the Asian plate
- Everest grows by about a quarter of an inch (0.25") every year
- It consists of different types of shale, limestone, and marble
- The rocky summit is covered with deep snow all year long
Weather
- The Jet Stream sits on top of Everest almost all year long
- The wind can blow over 220 mph
- The temperature can be -80 to -90F
- In mid-May each year, the jet stream moves north causing the winds to calm and temperatures to warm enough for people to try to summit. This is called the 'summit window'. There is a similar period each fall in November.
- It can also be very hot with temperatures over 100F in the Western Cwm, an area climbers go through to reach the summit.
History
- Everest is called Chomolungma by the Tibetan people. It means mother goddess of the universe

Mt. Everest South Face Base Camp and Climbing Camp Details: Climbing the south face of Mt. Everest (8,848.86m / 29,031.7ft), also known as the South Col route, is one of the most challenging and renowned routes in the world. Here are the details of the camps typically used on this expedition:
Base Camp (5,364m / 17,598ft):
- Location: Khumbu Glacier.
- Purpose: Main logistical hub, preparation, and acclimatization point.
- Facilities: Sleeping tents, dining tents, communication equipment, medical services, and kitchen facilities.
- Activities: Initial acclimatization, equipment checks, training sessions, and rest.
Camp I (6,065m / 19,900ft):
- Location: Top of the Khumbu Icefall, in the Western Cwm.
- Purpose: First major acclimatization point after Base Camp.
- Access: Climbing through the Khumbu Icefall using ladders and fixed ropes.
- Activities: Rest, acclimatization, and preparation for the next leg.
Camp 1: Located at approximately 6,000 meters above sea level, Camp 1 serves as the initial acclimatization point for climbers. It provides a crucial transition from Base Camp to higher altitudes, allowing climbers to adjust to the thinner air and harsher conditions.
Camp II (6,400m / 21,000ft):
- Location: Western Cwm, at the base of the Lhotse Face.
- Purpose: Advanced base for further acclimatization and staging for higher camps.
- Access: Trekking across the relatively flat and hot Western Cwm.
- Activities: Acclimatization hikes, rest, and preparation for the ascent of the Lhotse Face.
Camp 2: Situated around 6,500 meters, Camp 2 marks a significant milestone in the ascent of Everest. Here, climbers encounter more challenging terrain and weather conditions, requiring advanced mountaineering skills and equipment.
Camp III (7,162m / 23,500ft):
- Location: Halfway up the Lhotse Face.
- Purpose: Acclimatization and staging point for reaching the South Col.
- Access: Climbing the steep and icy Lhotse Face using fixed ropes.
- Activities: Rest, limited acclimatization due to high altitude, and preparation for the final push to Camp IV.
Camp 3: Positioned at an altitude of approximately 7,200 meters, Camp 3 serves as a crucial staging point for the final push to the summit. Climbers must navigate steep slopes and negotiate the notorious Khumbu Icefall to reach this camp.
Camp IV (7,950m / 26,085ft):
- Location: South Col, the col between Everest and Lhotse.
- Purpose: Final staging camp for the summit push.
- Access: Climbing through the Yellow Band and the Geneva Spur using fixed ropes.
- Activities: Brief rest, high-altitude acclimatization, oxygen use, and final summit preparations.
Camp 4 (South Col): Located at approximately 7,900 meters, Camp 4, also known as the South Col, is the highest camp on the Everest South Route. From here, climbers embark on the grueling final ascent to the summit, facing extreme altitude and perilous conditions.
Navigating these challenges demands exceptional physical conditioning, mental resilience, and mountaineering skills. Summit success depends on factors such as weather conditions, team dynamics, and individual health and performance, making each ascent a unique and formidable endeavor.
Beyond Camp 4 (South Col), the Everest Expedition enters the most challenging phase of the climb, culminating in the summit attempt. Key details of this segment include:
The Death Zone: Above 8,000 meters (the death zone), climbers face extreme altitude conditions where oxygen levels are critically low, increasing the risk of altitude sickness, hypothermia, and cerebral or pulmonary edema. This zone poses the most significant physiological challenge to climbers.
The Hillary Step: Named after Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the summit of Everest along with Tenzing Norgay in 1953, the Hillary Step is a steep rock face located just below the summit. Climbers must negotiate this technical section, often using fixed ropes and ladders, before reaching the summit ridge.
Summit Ridge: The final stretch to the summit involves traversing the narrow and exposed summit ridge, which offers breathtaking views but requires steady nerves and precise footwork. Climbers must contend with strong winds, extreme cold, and fatigue as they make their way toward the highest point on Earth.
Summit (8,848.86m / 29,031.7ft):
- Final Ascent: From Camp IV to the summit.
- Route: Climb through the Balcony, South Summit, Hillary Step, and finally the summit ridge.
- Summit Time: Early morning departure to avoid afternoon weather changes.
- Descent: Return to Camp IV or lower camps after summiting.
Summit Push: The summit push typically begins in the early hours of the morning to maximize daylight and minimize exposure to afternoon storms. Climbers ascend steadily, conserving energy and oxygen reserves for the final push to the top. Summit day is the culmination of months of preparation and perseverance, marking the pinnacle of the Everest Expedition.
These camps represent pivotal stages in the Everest climbing expedition, each demanding careful planning, technical expertise, and physical endurance from climbers and their support teams.
General Notes:
- Acclimatization: Proper acclimatization at each camp is crucial to avoid altitude sickness and ensure success.
- Safety: Fixed ropes, supplemental oxygen, and strict adherence to safety protocols are essential.
- Duration: Duration at each camp varies based on weather, acclimatization needs, and team progress.
- Challenges: The south face route presents significant challenges including the Khumbu Icefall, Lhotse Face, and the extreme altitude of the South Col and summit areas.
Climbing the south face of Mt. Everest is a demanding expedition that requires extensive preparation, experience, and physical and mental fortitude. It remains one of the ultimate mountaineering challenges in the world.
