7 summits

A project once started by American Dick Bass. His idea to climb the highest peak on every continent on the planet is followed by lots of enthousiasts.  Through time, different views on continental plateau borders created 2 versions and even more did arrive.  There is an Australian version with Mount  Kosciuszko and one with Papua containing Carstenz Pyramid as highest on the oceanic continental plateau. Which do you prefer ? On this site we stay with  Carstenz variant.

Its a true adventure to travel to all these places even more to go and do these iconic climbs!

Route 1

Southeast Ridge Route (Nepalese side): This is the most popular and busiest route to the top of Mount Everest. It starts from the Nepalese side and involves crossing the Khumbu Glacier, navigating the notorious Khumbu Icefall, and traversing the Western Cwm. This route requires technical skills, endurance, and the ability to overcome the various challenges of glaciers and ice formations.

Startingpoint
The starting point for the Southeast Ridge Route is Everest Base Camp (EBC) in Nepal. EBC is located at an elevation of approximately 5,380 meters (17,600 feet). To reach EBC, climbers typically fly into Lukla Airport and then trek through the scenic Khumbu Valley, passing through various Sherpa villages such as Namche Bazaar and Dingboche before reaching the base camp.

Route 2

North Ridge Route (Tibetan side): This route begins from the Tibetan side of Mount Everest and is less crowded than the Southeast Ridge Route. However, it requires a special permit and guidance from China. This route is technically demanding, with steep climbs and exposure to strong winds. It involves crossing the Changtse Glacier, ascending the steep northern slopes, and passing through prominent rock formations like the Second Step and the First Step.

Startingpoint

The starting point for the North Ridge Route is the Rongbuk Monastery, situated at an elevation of about 5,100 meters (16,700 feet) on the Tibetan side of Mount Everest. To access the Rongbuk Monastery, climbers usually travel from the city of Lhasa in Tibet by road, passing through towns like Shigatse and Shegar.

This route offers stunning views and is often chosen by experienced climbers.

Startingpoint

The starting point for the Western Cwm Route is also Everest Base Camp (EBC) on the Nepalese side, the same as the Southeast Ridge Route. Climbers follow the same trekking route to reach EBC. From there, they traverse the Khumbu Glacier and enter the Western Cwm, a wide valley enclosed by towering peaks, including Everest’s southwest face.
