About Mount Everest
At 29,032 feet above sea level, Mount Everest stands on the border of Nepal and Tibet, its summit piercing the jet stream. Climbers inch upward through the Khumbu Icefall, past yawning crevasses and wind-scoured ridges, fueled by bottled oxygen and sheer resolve. The Sherpa people, mountain guides of extraordinary skill and endurance, have been indispensable to nearly every expedition that has ever reached the top.
