If you have some doubts about your being ready to try and climb Everest, then the best option for you is to try yourself on a less difficult and dangerous route Everest North Col (7,000m.).

The next day we proceed to ABC (6,400m.) where we establish a camp similar to our BC. One day later we climb the North Col (7000m.). It usually takes 5-7 hours up and 2-3 hours down to ABC.
