#Training and Climbing Strategy for Expedition Everest
Safety and proper guidance is our main priority, so we will be spending several nights at the base camp to let climbers properly acclimatize before moving up to the higher camps. On reaching base camp, Our guide will provide with refreshments and climbing training for ultimately climbing Mount Everest,
- glacier travel,

- safety techniques,
- abseiling,
- belaying,
- use of oxygen, mask, and regulator, etc.
In order to check your skills, the guide will also arrange a climb of a 6000-meter peak before our climb of Everest.
For proper acclimatization in the high altitude, we will climb the Khumbu icefall several times as part of our acclimatization trek to Camp 2 and Camp 3. Our team of Himalayan climbers Sherpas will ensure that all the high camps are well equipped with tents, food, and oxygen for the push to the summit. Before our push to the summit, we will return to base camp for rest and recovery. After we receive confirmation of a favorable weather forecast, we will head up to ABC(Avalanche Base camp).
From ABC, we lean forward to Camp 1, Camp 2, Camp 3, Camp 4 and then finally the summit. There will be the availability of the Expedition tents at all the higher camps. One Sherpa guide is for one climber to support. This is to ensure that every climber gets proper guidance and support to enable them the opportunity to climb the peak and return to the base camp safely.

#Expedition Everest South Col Routes:
Base camp: 17,060’/5200 m
The Everest base camp lies at 5,200 meters on a moving glacier. We will be spending up to 45 days here. Expect the weather conditions in the base camp be constant that means good all day. Our stay at the camp will consist of shifting and moving of tents and platforms as the ice moves and melts. While your stay in the Base camp, the stunning and mystic view of Pumori, Lola, Nuptse, Nutse and the Khumbu Icefall will lure you. You will experience warm mornings and occasional afternoon snows fall. The base camp will feel like a small village high up in the Himalayas as there will be the presence of many expedition teams.
Camp 1: 19,357’/5900 m
Achieving Camp 1 is one of the most challenging parts of the south side climb. It is mostly technical as it crosses the Khumbu Icefall. The Icefall is 2,000′ feet of moving ice with deep crevasses, transcending ice sera’s and avalanches off Everest’s west shoulder. We will only be spending two nights at Camp I for acclimatization. We will head towards camp 2 only after proper acclimatization.
Camp 2: 20,998’/6400 m
After base camp, Camp 2 is where you will spend the most time on your expedition. It is found in a lateral moraine at the bottom of the west ridge. As Camp 2 is located in a safe and sheltered location, all expedition operators establish their main climbing camp here. There will be tents for every climber along with a kitchen and dining tents. The C2 is also blessed with amazing views of Lhotse. You will be spending a lot of time at Camp 2 as it is also the main acclimatization camp. It is used as the base for camp 3 and the summit push acclimatization.
Camp 3: 23,294’/7100 m
Since all climbers are feeling the impacts of high elevation and are not yet utilizing supplemental oxygen, climbing the Lhotse Face to C3 is most challenging. The Lhotse Face is steep, and the ice is tough, but don’t let this discourage you as the course is settled with rope, the rope can be at angles ranging from 30 to 45 degrees. It is a long and hard journey to C3 yet is required for proper acclimatization preceding an attempt at the summit. You will be spending at least 2 nights at camp three.
South Col: 26,300’/8000 m
The last camp, Camp 4, is found at the South Col. Most climbers make their way up to the South Cole without supplementary oxygen. The South Cole is surrounded by Lhotse to the south and Everest to the north. Not to mention, it is flat and covered with loose rock. Climbers must navigate through two rock sections- the Yellow Band and the Geneva Spur. From Camp 3, on the way to the summit, climbers must cross the yellow band and the Geneva Spur on the way to the South Col. These barriers, while not technically difficult, are a challenge at an altitude of 25,000 feet. Both areas are set-up with fixed ropes. The South Col is another world.
Sitting between Everest and Lhotse at 26,300 feet, it serves as the base for the summit attempt. Climbers don’t spend long here since the weather is always temporary and the altitude destructive. Once there, they eat and rest and then go to the summit.
The Summit: 29,029′/8848 m
The bid to the summit starts with a steep climb up the South side of Everest. It takes about 9-13 hours to reach the summit from the south Col. Reaching the Balcony at 27,500 feet, climbers turn West up the ridge to the South Summit, over the Hillary Step onto the Summit Ridge and then the True summit. The path to True summit is a modest snow slope that demands a physical effort on top of the altitude requirements, but climbers climb through on adrenalin. And then, there it is, the Everest summit!
An unbelievable journey to a very unique place, worthy of all the mystique and lure.
