High Camps on Everest

Above is the route from the North Col to Camp 1, High Camp and finally the Summit.

Above is the route from ABC to the North Col

Here is a topographical map of these portions of the climb and below is a list of camps and their respective elevations.

Hi All, Above you will find a topographical map taken from Google Earth that shows the upper portions of Everest, a list of camps and their elevations and two photos. One photo shows the view from ABC to the North Col and the other shows the veiw from the North Col to the summit via the North Ridge and Northeast Ridge. The routes are marked on all the maps and photos in blue. I have not heard from Max personally, but if all is going well (which his progress to ABC seems to indicate) he is getting himself ready to really begin climbing the mountain. Let us all keep our fingers crossed for his healthy acclamatization. Best, Walid
