Climbing Everest - Route Breakdown - Stage 5: The Summit bid

The Everest Route broken down stage by stage: Stage 5: The Summit from the South Col.
How do you climb Everest? Step by step.
Here at Climbing the Seven Summits we have created a series of route familiarisation videos because we believe that prepared climbers are successful climbers and being able to visualise the route, and the climb ahead not only inspires, it hopefully educates and helps contribute to your safety & success.
Additional footage supplied by Teton Gravity Research with special thanks.
Footage by Mike Hamill, Elia Saikaly, Tendi Sherpa

    Honestly I would love to just get as far as base camp, to be surrounded by those incredible mountains... amazing. I'd never be able to do the climb, but these videos give me a ton of respect for anyone that does. Absolutely incredible.

    You can do that, I'm planning to! There is a beautiful trek from Lukla, Nepal, (you fly into there from Kathmandu), which takes you gradually higher and higher, through the foothills, through little Sherpa villages, up past the tree line, up to Everest Base Camp. There are guided tours, which I plan on doing, rather than attempting that on my own. It doesn't require the extraordinary preparation that climbing Everest entails; if you are physically fit and healthy, it's very doable. I'm planning mine for a couple or three years from now, depending on several factors. But, I'm going, God willing! 🤗💖🙏

    I have just seen the movie Everest and read the book Into Thin Air which documents the events of 1996 Everest tragedy. Am absolutely amazed by the sheer passion and determination of the mountaineers who trudge on despite their bodies going through so much. A little incline on my treadmill and am panting for my dear life !! Mad respect for them

    People spend up to $150,000 USD & you only get to stand on the summit for 20-30 mins maximun. It's a thoroughly incredible achievement for a individual & very dangerous (Particulary coming back down) but when you weigh up what you could have bought for that money is sobering. I have summited twice out of 3 attempts & summited with my Physiotherapist from my local hospital which was handy to have if needed. We kept her occupation a secret otherwise she would never leave base camp. Is it worth the money ? Yes, for different reasons at the time for Personal reasons. No regrets about the money. Money is just paper. There were tangible things which money can't buy. Great life long friends, being part of a great expedition which was very dangerous as well & of course the wonderful Sherpas who i would not have made it to the summit without their help. They are the real heroes of Everest.

    I would like to see people not just training for the summit, but also train the acceptance in them for a failed attempt. It is not worth dying for just because you want to succeed in an environment that works against you for A REASON. Sometimes not getting all what you want is good enough!

    I’ve been to Everest two times and didn’t summit either time. First time was due to avalanches second time I got to camp 4 2 different times and had to turn around on summit day because I felt horrible. I probably would have made the summit but not back down. Turning around was pretty crappy. I know climbing Everest means nothing to anyone but me I just like being there and I want to do it, I go back in 2022

    Due to its unique altitude, Mount Everest is certainly a challenging mountain, but in true mountaineering terms, it really doesn’t compare to peaks like K2, Nanga Parbat and Annapurna, and a few others. You just have to check the number of successful summits of all these big mountains. There have been many outright novices that have been dragged up to the summit of Everest, something that would never happen on the others mentioned.

    its not the most technically demanding but it is hard due to sheer altitude. Out of that list of mountains only k2 comes close to everest in height. nanga and annapurna have less summits but they also have far less summit attempts and climbing teams every year. Annapurna is not so technically hard either its just very dangerous because of its shape and main routes have a huge problem with avalanches. Easiest 8000er is cho oyu. Every mountian has its own reasons for being difficult and dangerous.
