The Mount Everest is the highest peak of the World 29028 ft. (8848 m.) through which the climbing toppers feel themselves as the most proud and adventurous personnel of the World. Sir Edmond Hillary and Late Tenzing Norgay Sherpa first climbed this peak on May 29, 1953 , after a long time's effort. Everest Base camp is situated on the north of Khumbu glacier at a height of 18000ft. All the international Mt. Everest climbers assemble here during the starting and at the ending time of their climbing. Normally the climbing duration of this expedition lasts for 90 days. All the climbers who mass there at the base camp seem really busy with excitement for the preparation of their expedition to reach the summit. Some climbers climb this mountain on their own risk without any climbing Sherpa guide; and some climbers go with their own climbing Sherpa guide. Most of the teams carry their own Internet, Satellite phone, Medical Doctor and rest of the modern requirements. After the Base camp, we have to cross crevasses, Seracs and ice blocks. Similarly we should face the way up having Chunks of ice as large as our houses where we should use fixed ropes and aluminum ladders to climb ahead to camp 1st 6400m. Camp 1: 20000ft. (6,400m) This camp 1 is situated at the flat area of endless snow deep crevasses and mountain walls. Because of the Sun's reflection from this place we get a warm and heated ambience at this place. In the night we listen to the deep murmuring cracking sounds of crevasses beneath our tent. These are the areas where we have to walk to reach camp 2. Camp 2. 21000ft. (6,750m) This camp 2 is situated at the height of the 21000ft, which is located at the foot of the icy mount Lhotse wall though where we have to go ahead. Weather here is good but bad clouds roll in from the low range of the Himalayan valleys to the bottom of our camp two. But the wind here sometimes seems very violent enough to destroy our tents. After climbing these palaces we reach camp 3. Camp 3. 22300ft. (7,100m) Camp 3 is located at the height of 22300ft, adjoining the Lhotse wall. After climbing the 4000ft. Lhotse wall by using fixed rope and with prior acclimatization it leads us to camp 4. Also on the way we have to ascend the steep allow bands (loose, down -sloping and rotten limestone). From their crossing short snowfield the route moves ahead up the Geneva Spur to the east before finishing the flats of the south col. (Another wells name meaning Saddle of pass). Oxygen should probably be used above base camp 3 incase of need to the climbers. Camp 4. 26000ft. (8,400m) Now we are on camp 4 which is located at the height of 26000ft; it is the last camp of the Expedition. From here the summit is about 500m, distance far. This is the final and dangerous part of the climbing. This place is besieged by ferocious and violent winds. The normal best way to reach the summit is via the narrow South - East Ridge and it precedes the South Summits 28710ft. From here the way is easy to reach at the summit of the Everest 29028ft; and late Sir Edmond Hillary and l Tenzing Norge Sherpa used this route in 1953.
