Everest North Col Expedition
8848
Expedition begins when you arrive
to Kathmandu and we welcome in airport and transfer
you to the hotel. Next day, we have the introduction
section to the members with our crews. Since
then we make your Tibet visa and other necessary
documents for the Everest Expedition.
After 3 day, we drive you towards
Nepal-Tibet border up to the Friendship Bridge
through Arnico Highway , where the Chinese liaison
officer and Chinese transportation keep waiting
us there. The expedition gears are taken by
y truck and we drive you by Land cruiser 4WD
to Zhangmu, which is first city of Tibet to
entrance.
We take time to acclimatize with
one night at Zhangmu (2300m) and two nights
at Nylam (3750m), which also gives us the chance
to trek up the high hills for acclimatization.
Next day we drive to Tingri (4350m) where we
spend further two nights acclimatizing. Then
we drive to Base camp 5200m along the rough
road which leads you till to the Everest Base
Camp; and it is called the Chinese base camp
as well.
We set up our camp at Chinese
Base Camp and stay two nights or more and it
depends on our members feeling. We also make
schedules of the yaks by that time. Base camp
and advance base camp fixed at the different
places are kept there permanently until finishing
the whole expedition. Now 2 days walk towards
the ABC starts from here.
After walking 2 days, we reach
to ABC 6400m along with the Yaks. From ABC,
the route goes to the east Rongbuk (Everest
Base) glacier and after that there is an easy
snow slopes to the North Col at 7000m.
Where camp 1 is situated on
snow
After that there is a long reasonably angled
snow slopes to climb 7400m. Where we should
put camp 2 on snow, the route from Camp 2 to
camp 3 is the series of the rocks, which is
a little bit difficult. But again there is a
very easy terrain to walk ahead to set up camp
3, This camp 3 is at the height of 7900m on
the rock.
The route again goes through a
series of rocky climbs, and then there is a
median angled snow slopes where we have to climb
on mixed rocks and snow until we reach camp
4 at 8400m. Now this camp is on the rock but
some times ago, it was covered by snow. To reach
there, we have to fix the ropes on climbing
but there are safety lines, which provide you
safe place when you are tired and the wind seems
windy to blowing there . This route is mostly
very windy especially between Camp 2 to camp
3
Camp 4 is the last camp for Everest summit from
North East Ridge . Now the route is mixed with
rocks and snow steps. This step is quite steep
in many places so you require very considerable
care for yourself, to your clothing and oxygen
equipments.
After that, the North East Ridge
is wide but we have to climb through small steps
with a little bit height until we go ahead where
we fix the rope. Above there the climbing is
a little bit exposed but it is easy again to
reach ahead in the second steps. After the second
steps the route is in the series of small nude
ridge, which is some times covered with snow.
After that route with large boulder
where we should use ladder to climb ahead, Again
after that section of the route, we should fix
the rope. Above these steps, the route is relatively
easy with gentle ground until we reach at the
third steps. Now to go head it is not the series
of ridge as the previous steps but we should
use the fixed rope to the Col before the final
summit of snow slopes. Again there are quite
steep and fixed ropes to go ahead to the buttressed
rocks from where there is a short section of
corniced ridge to reach on the Summit of Everest.
Climbing Sherpa guide:
We facilitate highly professional, well trained
and qualified climbing Sherpas for your expeditions.
If you take Sherpas along with you on the expedition,
they are very useful in your each and every
step of support, which makes your climbing easier
to restore your strained energy; and it gives
you vigorous strength for your next day's climbing.
Most of the groups, who have gone with the Sherpa
guides on the expedition, are found to be succeeded
as per our past experiences. So we suggest you
to operate your expeditions along with the Sherpa
guides.
