The Majestic mountain like a huge petrified wave, ascended into heaven. The crest of a wave, frozen in stone, crowned by the Great Himalayas. In the main Himalayan range extending across the border of Tibet and Nepal, joined 11 vertices. Each mountain range has here a height in excess of 8 000 meters.
Here, ‘abode of eternal snow" on the land of China, spread Qomolangma-the highest of the Himalaya “eight thousand” range. The giant mountains, soaring in the sky to an incredible height, has two more titles. The Nepalese called it Sagarmatha – “Lord of the sky”.
The Tibetans refer to the top of mount Everest (translated as “the Goddess of the Earth”). For Europeans, it is the peak of Everest.

The Middle tier represent arrays, towering 3,500 m. In the Northern part the height of mountain peaks varies in the range of 6000-8000 m. the Width of mountain ranges up to 80-90 km.
The Growth of the Himalayan mountain range is not suspended so far. Scientists assure us that the height of the Himalayas is annually increased by 3-10 mm. In the mountain chain is 75 peaks that exceed a height of 7 000 meters. The Nepalese Himalayas are recognized as the most high.
And above all ridges ascended mount Everest. Where is her top? It towers over the vast expanses Chinese. The highest peak Everest is surrounded by other giant peaks that form a real "world's roof" of holding the sky above the earth.
The Mountain peak, proudly towering up from the eternal Himalayan snows, attracts tourists with grandeur and breathtaking beauty. Many climbers dream of conquering the steep slopes of the Grand massif with the shape of a triangular pyramid. Overcoming challenging mountain paths with a length of 8848 meters (this is height of mount Everest) – a great honor!
The Exact height of the peak established English surveyors in 1852. Since then, many attempts have been made, which would have denied the primacy of Everest. However, their repeatedly debunked, because they were all insolvent.
While the bulk of the high peaks within the mountain complexes in the world, and obedient to the climbers, to the “mountains” and “the eight-thousanders" that formed mount Everest, Everest, if you will, the climbers did not know how to approach it.
The Steepness of the southern slope is much more than the other two. The snow on it is not delayed, so before the eyes of the travelers appears naked rock. The remaining slopes are covered glaciers extending up to 5 000 meters.
Specifying the coordinates of mount Everest, tourists realize that the climate at the "top of the world" is far from comfortable. When on a mountain range played by the bad weather, stay on his vast very dangerous. The thermometer stops here on the mark –600 C, and the wind whistling with the speed of 200 km/h.
Magnetic attraction of the highest point of Land is incredible. Climbers year after year, heading East, to where mount Everest, where the tip of its giant peak, piercing the clouds. The temptation to conquer this mountain bike, but reaches its units.

The first menstarted climbing at the dawn of the twentieth century, failed because of poor equipment. For the first time mount Everest conquered people in 1953.
Climbers continually compete in the difficulty of climbing Everest. Some are trying to climb the icy slopes in winter. Others, intending to climb to the top, refuse to capture oxygen. Emancipated women, United in a group, trying to overcome a difficult way without a man.
However, to surprise everyone managed only to Reinhold Messner. Defiance mount Everest gave him great mercy – to put several records at the same time! He is climbing alone on the North side without oxygen overcame to rise to the top in 3 days. In 1992 ascended to the peak 32 of the climber in the Russian team «Lada-Everest”.
