Weather Forecast:
May 26 to June 6 its going to be very wet because we leaving out of spring. June 7 to Sep 30 its
going to be dry and warm because were going into summer.
May 28 is day for a summit attempt because the wind jet is well to the north and the wind is 1
0 knots!
Most people plan their expeditions around the beginning of May starting at the
10th. So, in order to avoid multiple climbs all at the same time, the best time to go is
near the end of the month specifically the 28th of May. This means that by the time that
we
start our climb the others will already have been gone.

Our choice: North Ridge/North East Ridge (climbing up and climbing down)
This Climbing route is shorter than the South Col route. The Climbing already starts
from the Advance Base at 6400m on the East Rongbuk Glacier. Above the North Col, the
route becomes increasingly rocky with awkward terrain - vicious and frequent winds
between 7000m and 8000m. Although the top camp is higher than the one on the South
Col, the summit day itself is definitely harder.
