POST-SUMMARY-HERE

From 1921 to 1938 all the British attempts were made via the North Col – North East Ridge route from Tibet.routes 1

After the Second World War all routes to Mount Everest were forbidden and closed. In 1951 China occupied Tibet, the Chinese stopped all foreign travellers from gaining access to Everest from the traditional route. The British turned there sights to the South Side in Nepal. Permission was granted, which eventually led to the successful 1953 Expedition.

Today, you can reach Mount Everest from both Tibet and Nepal. They both welcome climbers and visitors from all over the world.

The two normal routes to climb Mount Everest are the South Col – South East Ridge from Nepal and the North Col – North East Ridge from Tibet. There are other routes that will get you to the summit of Everest, although these are not very often used now a days.

Drogi na szczyt Everestu.

Mapa satelitarna przedstawia drogi jakimi zdobywano szczyt Everestu. Są wśród nich i te “łatwiejsze” i trudniejsze oraz te związane ze zła sławą, jak np. droga polskiej wyprawy z maja 1989r gdy zdobycie szczytu opłacono tragiczna śmiercią 5-ciu himalaistów, a tylko zdobywca szczytu A. Marciniak zdołał ocaleć po bezprecedensowej akcji ratunkowej jaką poprowadził Artur Hajzer, zobacz posty : Akcja ratunkowa na Mt. Everest1989r . O wyprawie tej napisano książek : “Dosięgnąć Everestu” -Dorota Kobierowska. Zawsze należy pamiętać że żadna droga, nawet uważana za łatwa, nie gwarantuje zdobycia szczytu, a czasem może skończyć sie tragedią, o takiej pisze Jon Krakauer w książce “Wszystko za Everest”

Inna bardzo ciekawa mapę można znaleźć na… http://www.mounteverest.net/page/gearandstuff.htm

    Mountaineering is my hobby and profession of walking, hiking, trekking and climbing up mountains. It is also sometimes known as alpinism, particularly in Europe.
