The route following the north ridge is one of two typical routes of Everest. Historically, it was the first route where serious summit attempts took place in 1922 and 1924. After the first successful climb in 1953 from the Nepal side, the second successful expedition was a Chinese team on this north ridge in 1960. This is still the most frequently used north route.

 

At about 16,404 ft/5000 m, climbers will see the Tibetan Rongbuk Buddhist monastery, the highest monastery on earth.

 

You must receive a permit from the Chinese Mountaineering Association to attempt Everest from the north side. Because of the difficulties involved in approaching the summit at this extreme altitude, relatively few expeditions have succeeded on this hidden face from the Tibetan side.
