The giant mountain receives overwhelming numbers that is around 1000 summit attempts, each year. The tallest mountain in the world was first scaled in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa via the South Col.

Yet, an expedition on Everest could come with many seen as well as unseen obstacles including high altitude, harsh weather conditions and even sheer exhaustion. Nepal began welcoming mountaineers and experienced climbers to the Everest region after the Cultural Revolution in the 1950s when China closed the Tibet borders to foreigners. Since then the South Col to reach the top of Mt. Everest via the Khumbu Valley became popular among the climbers.
