Everest was formed by the movement of Indian tectonic plate pushing up and against the Asian plate. Before 450 million years ago the summit of the Mount Everest was once the part of sedimentary layer below the sea level. Mount Everest is formed by the different shale, limestone and marbles. Though it was sedimentary layer, by the scientific research it is said that utterly Mount Everest was formed before 60 million years ago. The official height of Mount Everest is 8,848m (29,029ft) and on present era Everest is the highest peak of the world. The identification of highest peak of the world was on 1841 AD and it was officially named in English as Mount Everest by Royal Geographical Society in 1865 AD, upon the recommendation of British surveyor. This peak is named as Sagarmatha by Nepalese people, which stands as the goddess of sky and Chomolungma by Tibetan which stands for goddess of universe.
There are four camps on the different elevation of the Everest. Base camp on the height of on the height of 5,400m/ 17,700ft, Base camp1 on the height of 6,100m/ 20,000ft, Base camp2 on the height of 6,800m/ 22,300ft, Base camp3 on the height of 7,300m/23,900ft, Base camp4 on the height of 8,000m/26000ft and finally summit at 8,848m/ 29,029ft. Base camp at the height of 5400m/17700ft contains the place to stay journalist, families, exchanging news between mountain climber and the world etc where you handle the latest tech gear. Base camp is a place of hope, fear and lifelong friendships. After the journey towards base camp1 the place is like huge horror dangerous ice park. This is the very scary expedition the ice may fall on you or may collapse. Be sure to always climb into the ropes and be sure about your shoes screw on right way and climb on easy, slowly and carefully. The climber climbs 5-8 hours if not acclimatized and 3-5 hours after acclimatization. Basecamp1 is also known as the valley of silence. This is the vast flat area of endless snow and mountain walls. At this base camp1 we can listen the deep murmuring, cracking sounds under our tents. At least just now when you are in it, pounding headache tortures you. And climbing to this area to the fixed ropes, you could remove the crampons on this climb. Sometimes, weathers can turn on difficult one due to deep snow and whiteout. So, always start out in good time. Stay away from walls, they avalanche frequently. The climber climbs 4 to 7 hours while they are not acclimatized and 3 to 5 hours after acclimatization. After the endless, slow march through the silent valley you reach to a rocky patch at the foot of the icy Lhotse wall. This marks as a base camp2. This place is really stunting. Clouds roll in from the lower range of Himalayas, up to the valley into the camps. While acclimatizing we spend time looking after the climbing gears. This is also a last chance to get a prepared decent meal. Don’t camp too close to Everest face, since it avalanches once in a while. Hang around camp and bring yourself to take walks to the Lhotse face. It will speed the acclimatization and decrease altitude problems. Walk force you to breathe deeper and faster, saturating your body with more oxygen. After the base camp3 that’s not the place to play, the dangerous part of that place is to hang on the rope of dubious strength and to change the carabineers between the ropes. The view is grand and you are on way to summit. The climb towards the wall is a flat walk that also gets you nicely warmed up after some time you reach to the bumpy par. After that it’s pretty and uneventful. This part is steep but after the nose above its edge you are entering to the land of sprits. The climbers climbs 5 to 8 hours while not acclimatized and 4 to 6 hours after acclimatized. You are on the edge of the atmosphere edge the sky comes strange and turns into dark blue. The scary darkness and coldness there is a real risk. Get your axe ready and prepare the hot Tonics. Take it easy and while the weather and times comes on right place stay claim and think fear is always worse than reality. Finally the time comes to put the final gear and step out in the night. There in a distance we can see a worm of light slowly moving up a dark wall. Its climbers heat torch moving to the summit. It’s completely silent if you talk and if you whisper. It’s really terrifying and it’s desperately too cold. A cold moon rises below you. You notice the blue thin beam of light of horizon. You are luck along with the warm sunlight it makes you better to go on. Changing the numerous of oxygen bottles you reach to the summit. On average it takes 7 to 9 weeks of time to complete the entire expedition.

The first lady to reach the summit of Mount Everest was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975 AD. Till now the youngest boy to summit Everest is Jordan Romero from America, age of 13 years 10 months on May 13, 2010 AD and the youngest girl to climb up the Everest is Malavath Poorna, age of 13 years 11 months on May 25, 2015 AD. Till now the oldest male climber to reach the summit is Miura Yiuchiro, age 80 on May 23, 2013 AD from Japan and the oldest female climber is Tamae Watenabe, age 73, in 2012 AD from Japan. It’s laborious job to climb up the Mount Everest and should not be taken for granted. The climber crosses the many camps before stepping on the summit.
