Hello Climbers, it's finally the time to reveal the mountain that had to be in the game, the highest peak on earth - Mount Everest. Get ready for the long climb!
Let us be your guide:
Highest (8848 m.) and the most popular summit in the world. The path to the top is technically varied. It runs through challenging Khumbu Glacier (which will check your ice picking skills), breath-taking, avalanche threatened Wester Cauldron, and the serac fraughted mountain wall of Lhotse. From the top of the world, you'll be able to see a breathtaking Himalayan panorama.
In-game map of the mountain:
A. Camp One, from here you start your way to the top. The road splits into two paths.
1. Moderately easy path, leads through boulders and icy rocks left over from the glacier.
2. An alternative path to the second camp, through the tunnel. It starts with an ice-covered area. Steep slopes.
B. A convenient place to camp.
3. The area full of ice crevices. Bring a ladder and watch your steps.
4. Route through a steep, icy ascent.
5. Very steep surface covered with ice and wide rift to overcome.
Then the route splits into two paths.
6. Vertical ice wall - ice axes required.
7. A steep trail between the rocks.
C. Another place to set up a camp. Large exposure. Two paths lead to the top.
8. A stone climb ended with an ice wall.
9. Alternative path - climbing wall.
D. A place to regenerate before attacking the top.
10. The last leg before the summit. Dangerous and steep ice-covered area.
The weather on Mount Everest is not as harsh as on some other mountains, which means you can prepare some lighter clothes to conserve your stamina (and money - or better buy some extra food) You gonna need it for the long journey ahead.
One of the hardest and most memorable parts of the Mount Everest climb is the serac area full of ice crevices, you'll have to carefully place your ladder and sometimes use some extra belay to traverse through.
The routes of Mount Everest also abound in vertical rock climbing walls, they are one of the longest and hardest (have few and less certain fulcrums). You have to keep your stamina high if you want to overcome them.
The summit push itself can also catch you off guard. Conserve your ice screws to the very end!
There is a lot more to the routes of Mount Everest, but we let you find that out yourselves!
