The Route to the Summit

I will be climbing the south side of Mt. Everest.  The route is as follows: 
 

Base Camp at the foot of the Khumbu Icefall-17,600 feet

Camp I above the Khumbu Icefall-19,500 feet

Camp II (Advance Base Camp) on the Western Cwm-21,300 feet

Camp III on the Lhotse Face-24,000 feet (supp. oxygen used above Camp III)

Camp IV on the South Col-26,000 feet (since Camp IV is in the “death zone,” this camp is a 6-8 hour rest stop on the way to the summit)

South Summit-28,750 feet

Hillary Step-28,900 feet

Summit-29,035 feet
