Climbing North Face of Mount Everest: Challenges & Costs

Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world. Climbing Mount Everest is a dream for most mountaineers. Climbing Mount Everest is itself a challenge. People find thrills, life lessons, and a feeling of accomplishment that ascends with each step from Everest North Face of mount everest vs South Face. Mount Everest lies in the Himalayas, stretched across the Tibetan plateau. With a height of 8,848.86 meters, it presents extreme weather conditions, remoteness and uncertainty. Apart from its physical and geographical aspects, the journey to the Everest Base Camp is filled with layers of experiences. You get to experience centuries-long practices among Sherpas and closely observe the way of life of local people. Sherpa Culture and traditions stand out for being the oldest and purest, and Mount Everest is also part of it. Climbing or trekking Mount Everest Base Camp is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and comes with a lot of excitement, fun, adventure and memories. Climbing Mount Everest has many Accesses, but two major routes are Everest North Face vs South Face. Everest North Face – Tibet Side Everest’s North face is the Northern route to climb Mount Everest, which is situated in Chinese territory formerly called Tibet. Everest’s North base camp can be reached without trekking, unlike the South Face. Which requires 10 to 12 days of trekking to reach base camp, depending on acclimatization and other factors. Advanced Base Camp, a high camp en route to Everest summit, lies at an elevation of 6,340 m in Tibet. For non-climbers, it’s the easiest alternative to be close to the Everest Summit. Everest North base camp can be reached by a flight to Lhasa and an overland drive through Gyantse, Shigatse, and Tingri, which takes about 4 days. After reaching the world’s highest monastery, Rongbuk, you can either take a bus or walk for an hour and a half to reach base camp. Why do climbers choose the North Face to summit Everest? Climbing Mount Everest from the North side (Tibet) is cheaper than climbing from the South side (Nepal) because the permit fees are too high. There are fewer crowds on the North side, causing no congestion. Climbers on Everest Base Camp’s North side do not need to cross deadly ridges like Khumbu Icefall, where sudden avalanches occur. One of the major reasons to climb Everest North Face is because of its low permit fees and less congestion. Difficulty of Everest North Face Everest North Face is notorious for causing more climbers to die because of harsh weather conditions. As you ascend higher in elevation, the intensity of strong winds increases, resulting in accidents. The helicopter rescues above Advanced Base Camp are very difficult, so there’s no immediate helicopter evacuation if you are stuck above that point. One of the scariest parts of summiting Everest from the North side is the section called the second step, where the climb is almost vertical, making it the most death-caused section. Technical climbing, harsh weather, and longer exposure of climbers to extreme altitudes make the Everest North Face climb difficult. Everest South Face – Nepal Side Everest’s South Face is a standard route to summit Mount Everest. It is situated on the Nepal side. Climbers who attempt to summit Everest from the South Face have a higher success rate compared to the North Face. The Everest Base Camp in the South Face is located at an elevation of 5,364 m. It takes about 10 to 12 days of rigorous walking through the rough terrain of the Khumbu region. Everest climbing from the South Face starts with a flight to Lukla and trekking all the way through Namche to Everest Base Camp, after which the climb starts from the South Face. Why do climbers choose South Face to summit Everest? Everest’s South Face (Nepal) is safer and has more established routes. In case of emergency, helicopter evacuations are available most of the time. The South Face gets more sunlight, resulting in warmer temperatures compared to the North Face.…
