The highest mountain on our planet. Despite modern times it continues to be a great challenge, in recent years it has become the destination of many mountaineers. The north Tibetan side was chosen by the first expeditions for the first attempts of climbing by the English. George Mallory and Andrew Irvine entered the legend by disappearing into the clouds at 8,300 meters, it will never be known whether they climbed to the top or not. The itinerary from the north hill is less dangerous than the normal Nepalese, there is no need to cross the Ice Fall, famous for the fall of the seracs. However, the route requires good preparation for high altitude and excellent physical preparation. Technically it is not difficult, but a decent technique is still necessary, especially in the upper part where the three “steps” they represent the crucial points of the climb. The approach, as for the other eight thousand Tibetans, and’ very simple and uses motorized vehicles (jeeps and trucks) to reach the Chinese camp at about 5,200 meters. The Base Camp is located at about 5,650 meters, a field that is reached in two days of walking on foot with yaks for the transport of the material.
Given the overall shortness of the approach, two days of rest in Nyalam (3,500 m.) With climbs on the nearby mountains for acclimatization are provided to facilitate acclimatization.
