First of all, of course, it is to prepare a considerable fee.

At present, climbing Mount Everest has become a mature commercial market, just like you go to the auto market to buy a car. The difference lies in which brand of car you choose and which dealer you buy from.

There are two ways to climb Mount Everest. One is to climb independently, and the other is to join a business team. Joining a business team is a common occurrence, because the risks involved in individual climbing independently are too high and the cost is more expensive.

The cost of joining a business team is not fixed, ranging from $30000 to $90000. Because, whether from the south side of Mount Everest in Nepal or from the north side of Mount Everest in Tibet, China, the cost is different (for environmental reasons, most mountaineers, including China mountaineers, choose to climb from the south side of Mount Everest in Nepal); Whether to hire a local tour guide in Nepal or a western tour guide, the cost is different.

Generally speaking, climbing from the south side of Mount Everest in Nepal and hiring a local tour guide in Nepal costs about $30,000. It costs about $90,000 to climb the summit from the north side of Mount Everest in China and Tibet and hire western guides. If your budget is relatively generous, please find a western tour guide. It's cheap to hire local guides in Nepal, but many times, they will sneak back to the base camp, leave you on the mountain and climb the mountain alone.

30,000-90,000 dollars, which is the most basic budget for climbing Mount Everest. If they are rich people who are not short of money in China, their summit expenses will be around 3 million. With strong logistical support, their personal safety can be completely guaranteed.

Secondly, physical training takes 3-4 years.

Every mountaineer who plans to climb Mount Everest must be prepared 3-4 years in advance. Although the China climber among the climbers officially launched the final sprint to the summit of Mount Everest on May 23rd 1960, in fact, they started training in the Soviet expert training class as early as four years ago, and carried out physical training such as scientific fitness, hiking, swimming and running. Two years ago, they trained in Nyainqentanglha Mountain. More than two months ago, they gathered in the base camp at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters to make final preparations for the summit.

In addition, you have to learn to deal with all kinds of emergencies in these 3-4 years and get familiar with your mountaineering equipment, such as oxygen bottles, winter clothes, medical first aid kits, satellite phones, gloves, sleeping bags, backpacks, tents and so on. When you are familiar with your mountaineering equipment, they can save your life at a critical moment.

Finally, "third-order adaptation" is needed.

"Third-order adaptation" means that every mountaineer has gone through at least three steps before climbing Mount Everest. They are introductory steps, improvement steps and advanced steps.

The entrance steps refer to the peaks above 5000 meters above sea level, such as the famous Siguniang Mountain and Emerald Everest. Mountaineering enthusiasts can judge whether their bodies have the ability to adapt to high altitude environment by climbing these peaks. If you can't climb these peaks, then don't dream of climbing Mount Everest.

After entering the step, you enter the improvement step. Elevated steps refer to the peaks above 7000m above sea level, such as Mustag Ata and Ningjin facing Sha Feng. By climbing these peaks, climbers can learn ice climbing skills, first aid and self-help knowledge in emergencies, skillfully use climbing techniques and equipment, and get permission to enter advanced steps.

Advanced steps refer to peaks above 8000 meters above sea level, such as Manaslu Peak and Zhuoyou Peak. If you can climb these peaks, you have the basic conditions to sprint Mount Everest.

Now, head for Mount Everest.
