    Gajendra Deuba from Nepal

    Base camp to camp -1 safe route but stiff section of climbing
    Camp-1 to camp-2 - rock fall area (helmet advised)
    Camp-2 to camp-3 stiff section of ice wall and crevasse demanding more skill in jumaring and rappelling
    Camp-3 to camp -4 high altitude , thin air,
    patient is the key
    Camp-4 to summit: GOING UP IS THE OPTION RETURNING BACK IS MANDATORY. Don’t speed save energy. Minimum 15 hr of summit push. 300m elevation on the last section for the summit push is mix climbing.
    Weather is key for making it to the summit.
