Mount Everest, or Chomolungma as call it in Tibet in the territory of which it is located, is the highest point of our planet. Its height is 8.85 km. Long time, almost to the middle of the last century, this top was considered as unsubdued, and the person managed to visit it for the first time only in 1953, in only 9 years before when the first flight in space took place.
1. Climbing Everest is complicated significantly by the severe weather conditions usual for these heights. Wind speed can reach 200 km/h there, and night time temperatures go down to-60 degrees of S. Besides, after ascension up to the height of 5000 meters even the trained climbers begin to feel the shortage of oxygen. All this did Everest unapproachable, and in the first several decades of those who visited its top, it was possible to count literally on fingers.
2. Today technical capabilities, reliability and quality of climbing equipment significantly increased. Thanks to it in the near future climbing Everest can become mass sport. Any athlete who had the corresponding training already has the opportunity to make ascension, having paid the rise on top accompanied by professional climbers who will secure it.
3. If you have the necessary sum which is several tens of thousands of euro, you can subdue Everest already today. The international travel agencies Alpine Ascents, Asian Trekking and ltitude Junkies are officially registered as giving the opportunity to tourists to make the feat and climbing Chomolungma. They take the sum from 20 to 50 thousand euros for the services. For this money you will be provided to all necessary from oxygen cylinders to the Nepalese or Tibetan visas and plane tickets.
