 Expedition
begins when you arrive to Kathmandu where
you meet the staff of Ramdung Expedition
in the airport and transfer you to hotel.
Next day, we have introduction section with
other climbing members & Expedition crews.
Since then we make your Tibet visa and other
necessary document for the Everest Expedition.
After 3 day, we drive you towards Nepal-Tibet
border up to Friendship Bridge through Arniko
Highway, where the Chinese liaison officer
and Chinese transport meet us. The expedition
gears go by truck while we travel by Land
cruiser 4wd. We take time to acclimatize
with one night at Zhangmu (2300m) and two
nights at Nyalam (3750m), which also gives
us the chance to trek up high hills for acclimatization.
Next day we drive to Tingri (4350m) where
we spend further two nights acclimatizing.
Then we drive Tingri to Base camp 5400m along
rough way with jerking & bouncing through
grassy plain leading up to Everest BC, which
is also called Chinese base camp. We set
up our camp at Chinese Base Camp and stay
two nights or more, depending on how everyone
feels. We also make schedules of the yaks
by that time. Base camp is a temporary but
comfortable affair with Nepali cook and dining
tent. Now the two-day walk towards advanced
base camp (ABC) begins. After waking 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 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 snow covered.
To reach there, we have to fix ropes on climbing
but there are safety lines, which provide
you safe place when you are tired and wind
is blowing. This route is mostly very windy
especially between camps 2 to camp 3. Camp
4 is the last camp for Everest summit from
North East Ridge. Now route is mixed rocks
and snow steps. This step is quite steep
in many places so you require very considerable
care for yourself, for your clothing and
oxygen equipments. After that, the North
East Ridge is wide but we have to climb through
small steps with little bit height until
we go ahead where we fix rope. Above there
the climbing is little bit exposed but it
is easy again to reach ahead in the second
steps. After the second steps the route is
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 rope. Above these
steps, route is relatively easy with gentle
ground until we reach at the third steps.
Now to go head it is not series 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. |
