How you climb (you) Mount Everest, it depends on how you like in the face of difficulties .. I, for example, the best way to provide the greatest fame with the least amount of effort and risk.

And such a demand can not be implemented without an agreement with one of the specialized agencies (which ensures hold stronger comfort towards the summit). These agencies vary in quality and experience and with prices ranging between 40 thousand to 75 thousand dollars per person - including climbing equipment, accommodation and health care and the presence of mentors specialists .. Not only this; but emerged over the past decades routes impassable and camps fixed offer all important services - such as food, shelter and communications Space and climbing equipment rental, tents and oxygen cylinders

After high bypass several villages (most recently the village of Optche at an altitude of 3000 meters from the point of Nepal) comes camp (No. 1) at an altitude of 5500 meters, which requires access for about ten days (unless rented helicopter take you directly to him). After this camp comes camp (No. 2) at an altitude of 6,500 meters, and then the camp (No. 3) at an altitude of 8100 meters and which stems from climbers around the summit!! all these facilities make climbing Everest easier than fourteen summit on world Falabella on 8000 meters .

But this does not mean there is no potential risks, such as blizzards and ice slides and the problems caused by lack of oxygen.
