Climbing Everest is an immense challenge that tests the limits of human endurance and determination. Climbers must deal with the extreme altitude, frigid temperatures, high winds, and technical climbing sections like the Hillary Step. Proper acclimatization is critical to allow the body to adapt to the thin air. Climbers also face risks like altitude sickness, frostbite, and avalanches.
In 2024, Nepal has issued 390 climbing permits to 37 teams from 60 countries as of late April. The United States has the most climbers with 70, followed by China with 65. Reaching the summit of Everest remains one of the ultimate achievements in mountaineering.
