Tibet, Everest, Altitiudes Of North Ridge Route, 1995

Tibet, Everest, Altitiudes Of North Ridge Route, 1995 - This chart shows the sequence that I used to climb Mount Everest over a period of six weeks of acclimitization. High altitude's low oxygen content shocks the body into producing more red blood cells. But the body cannot recuperate at high altitude. This means you have to descend and rest, then go higher again, then descend again.
