During the course of climbing uphill from the base camp and down to the base camp, you will be passing through different camps. Here is a short outline of what you will be doing to continue the venture:
- Mount Everest base camp: It lies at an altitude of 5,380 meters (17,700 feet). You will be staying in this rudimentary base camp of Everest for rest and acclimatization. Then, continue the climbing journey once you are comfortable.
- Camp I: It lies at an altitude of 6,065 meters (19,900 feet). For reaching camp I, you will be using garden step-ladders in order to cross deep crevasses in the Khumbu icefall, and once you go through and survive the treacherous terrain land, you will reach camp I. You will get essential relief at camp I, and once you are ready, you will ascend more towards camp II.
- Camp II: It lies at an altitude of 6,500 meters (21,300 feet) above sea level. The temperature of camp II is much higher and there is a chance of higher snow and snow bridges stretching across 60 meters (100 feet).
- Camp III: It lies at an altitude of 7,470 meters (24,500 feet) above sea level. You will be heading from camp II to camp II with the help of gradual ascends and fixed-rope climbs on the ridges. You might find a crowd of climbers in this area and the route can be hassle-some. Similarly, there is a high chance of avalanches in this area.
- Camp IV: It lies at an altitude of 7,920 meters (26,000 feet). On the trail, you will cross the points - "Yellow Band" and "Geneva Spur", which are the energy-draining barricades between camp III and camp IV. After conquering these two points, you will be needing to take hold of oxygen cylinders/ oxygen bottles, for further continuing the expedition.
- South Summit: It lies at an altitude of 8690 meters (28,500 feet). From camp IV, you will climb through different steep sections covering a distance of around 1.5 kilometers, and reach the south summit.
- Mount Everest Summit: Mount Everest summit is around 1.5 kilometers away from the south summit and will take around 12 hours (maximum) to complete the distance. On the way, you will walk through the "Balcony", intercept the "Hillary Step" and "Summit Ridge", and finally reach the top of Everest at an altitude of 8848.86 meters.
