The height of Mount Everest nearly as high as a commercial aircraft flying at an altitude of 31.000feet.

The highest peak, only a third of the oxygen content requirement of human breath. Not because there is not the content of oxygen-rich air, but a lower air pressure makes the amount of oxygen is thinner.

One height-called Death Zone is located at 8000 meters up, the snow freezes into ice hard and slippery. The trip along the Death Zone 1.72 km from the South to the summit and climbers takes 12 hours.

Oxygen levels in basecamp will drop to 85-87%, approaching the peak climbers must breathe to 80-90 times per minute. Most of the victims who died had seen always in the rear position, and 150 people are found with no apparent reason.

Since 1969, each annual climbing at least one person who died. Except in 1977 and 1974 all climbers survived that no one climb there.

Ascent speed 3 times faster than those who do not carry oxygen. But the climb with oxygen tubes still controversy in the year 1922, now has become a climbing safety standards. A climber generally carry 5-6 oxygen tube that cost $ 500 per bottle and just enough for 5-6 hours.

About the comparison pressure, air pressure near the sea reached 14.69 psi and 4.89 psi at the summit of Everest.

Google Maps has included a photo of Mount Everest basecamp. But only until the basecamp the climb alone. 2 teams from the bottom perpetuate and walked 120km to reach the base camp of Mount Everest. Took some photos along the way for mapping Google Maps.

Bear Grylls of Britain reached the summit, but the return using the parachute in 2007.

Interesting stories about Everest. There is a pair of climbers name is Moni Mule Pati and Pem Dorjee Sherpa one. Both of Nepal but have secrets between them. Both of them did not notify to reach Everest climbers assisted, to the above they do weddings.

When the climbing season, many climbers to the summit simultaneously. In these conditions become jammed or traffic lanes hours. Reportedly to reach the top of Everest, the climbing season can reach over a hundred people reached the summit.

Which gives the name Everest was George Everest in 1856. He retired explorers but never see the summit of Everest.
In 1974 no one who climbed to the top of Everest.

Since 1950 the number who reach the top are still very short distance, starting in the 1990s climbers have reached the top 30 to a hundred people.

For registration fees being charged $ 10,000 - 25,000 in Nepal for people, depending on how many teams participating and the selected path and these changes will be charged back. To go to a nearby base camp charged $ 2,000 for the aircraft. That official fees, other costs can vary.

Everest has been commercial for comfort climbers since 1985. As climbers who want to relax and rely on the support team as an experienced climber companion, sherpas, cooks team, including the medical team will reach $ 80,000 and there are offering up to $ 200,000.

Appetite climbers will decline in basecamp, organizers can offer a special menu for wealthy climbers. Including bringing them beer, steak until the chef's special European style when needed. So climbers stay physically prepared after paying all expenses support team.

Goods under charged per sherpa, a maximum of 10 kg. The more luggage, it takes a greater amount of sherpa. Rich climbers can rent one or two Sherpas to bring their backpacks, rather than not climb but the road to the summit of Everest.
