  2. Mt Everest Rescue Mission North Face Ridge BASE CAMP, foot of the mountain, 4 routes: North Face Ridge: Reinhold Messner, the first to ever climb Everest in 1980 took this route. Will you head North and follow in his footsteps? South West Face Central Couloir: This route climbs the Y-shaped couloir, take the left fork through the rockband. North East Ridge: This route is shorter route to take however becomes increasingly rocky and aggressive with severe winds. South East Couloir Ridge: This is the most popular way to the summit (know as the “yak” route) however should never be underestimated. Which way will YOU take? North East Ridge South West Face CantralCouloir South East Couloir Ridge

  3. Mt Everest Rescue Mission It’s getting colder! When your body gets cold it slows down making it hard to think. It looks like one of the mountaineers snow jackets is in the snow. Pick it up and put it on. Note: Climbers need to wear lots of thick layers to protect themselves from the cold. You now have two choices: There seems to be an opening in the ridge to the left, it could be a shortcut? There looks like some possible shelter to the right. The weather looks darker with dense cloud cover. Maybe it’s a good idea to try and find a cave? What do YOU do? Towards the ridge The Cave

  4. Mt Everest Rescue Mission Temperature is dropping but the sun is still shining. The “yak” route has been snowed in. You have two ways around: To the left is a steep incline up a shear cliff face. Looks like you will be needing your climbing gear. Pull out your ropes, ice axe and crampons. Note: Crampons are metal teeth which are placed on shoes to assists climbers on slippery surfaces. Rope and ice axes also assist climbers to climb higher. To the right it is also continues to incline. On close inspection it looks very slippery with lots of snow and ice. Looks like you will only need your crampons. What do YOU do? Right: Incline Left: Opening in the ridge

  5. Mt Everest Rescue Mission This track may be shorter but it’s extremely rough underfoot and is now showing 2 big climes ahead. You have two ways around: To the left it looks like a bit of black cloud is gathering. It is a steep incline up a shear cliff face. Looks like you will be needing your climbing gear. Pull out your ropes, ice axe and crampons. Note: Crampons are metal teeth which are placed on shoes to assists climbers on slippery surfaces. Rope and ice axes also assist climbers to climb higher. To the right it is a bit of a climb as well but the sky looks mostly fine. On close inspection the mountain surface looks very slippery with lots of snow and ice. Looks like you will only need your crampons. What do YOU do? Right: Incline Left: Opening in the ridge

  6. Mt Everest Rescue Mission The weather is starting to not look so good. The temperature is dropping and the wind is picking up. The rockband you have taken is tiring you out and its beginning to snow. The high winds are turning the snow into sleet making it hard to see. Put on your goggles. Note: Sleet is rain containing some. This can make climbing and visibility harder for climbers. Sleet creates wet surfaces making it slippery under foot. If there are high winds, sleet can burn and sting climbers eyes making it hard to see. You have two ways ahead: Continue to the left where the incline is not so steep. Go to the right where the path is slightly less rocky but has a steep incline. Right: Incline Left: Opening in the ridge

  7. Mt Everest Rescue Mission SNOWWWW STTOORRRMMM!!! You found a cave, QUICK get inside to shelter yourself from the storm. You will surely freeze if you don’t get out of this blizzard now! Into the cave

  8. Mt Everest Rescue Mission SNOWED IN!!! The storm only worsened and you rested to long. You no longer have an exit as the snow has blocked you in. Looks like your rescue has come to a quick end!

  9. Mt Everest Rescue Mission The weather is still not good and your feeling a little fatigued. You still have fairly good visibility and still a long way to go. Do eat a snack along the way or take shelter out of the snow fall and make yourself a big lunch? Note: Climbers need to keep their rubbish to reduce negative environment impact. Between 1953 and the mid-1990’s, an estimated 50 tons of rubbish was accumulated on the mountain. The locals began calling it “the world’s highest junkyard”. You have two ways ahead: Continue on your mission with a snack and packing away your rubbish. Go to the right where there is a cave perfect for shelter. You deserve a break after all. The Cave Continue on Your Mission

  10. Mt Everest Rescue Mission The weather has cleared making it easier for you too see. However your route is continuously getting higher and steeper and giving you extremely high altitudes. It will soon be getting harder to breath. Note: As you climb higher there is not enough oxygen to breath. To ensure this doesn’t happen climbers carry oxygen bottles. You have two ways ahead: Proceed your climb up to the left. On close inspection the mountain surface looks very slippery with lots of snow and ice. Looks like you will need your crampons Note: Crampons are metal teeth which are placed on shoes to assists climbers on slippery surfaces. Go to the right where the incline is steeper but no climbing equipment should be needed. Steep Incline Icy Incline

  11. Mt Everest Rescue Mission Continue Ahead to Setup Camp You can now take off your crampons however one of your oxygen tanks should be used as it is getting harder to breath in this high altitude. Looks like a flag up ahead. This means we are getting closer to the summit. Note: As you climb higher there is not enough oxygen to breath. To ensure this doesn’t happen climbers carry oxygen bottles. You have two ways up: Proceed your climb straight ahead for a few more hours and then setup camp to have some food and much needed sleep. Go to the left where the incline is much steeper but looks like it could be a shortcut. Once you are up there you might be able to see some more flags left from the mountaineers. Steep Incline

  12. Mt Everest Rescue Mission You are now nicely rested, packed up and ready to. You notice that you are above the clouds making it very easy to see. You can see the summit. Not far to go now and you can see the next flag point up ahead! Did you know? That Mt Everest and some of its neighbours are so tall that they rise above cloud level for most of the year. Only one way to go, straight up towards the next flag point. Continue to the Next Flag Point

  13. Mt Everest Rescue Mission You have reached what seems to be the 2nd last flag point. You are only hours from the top. Pull out your binoculours and try to find the mountaineers. You can see some supplies scattered up the mountain. Continue up following the trail and picking up their supplies along the way. Did you know? In Nepal Mt Everest is called Sagawartha which means land of eternal snows and in Tibet it is called Chomolungma. Only one way to go, straight up. Victory is near!!! Continue to the Summit

  14. Mt Everest Rescue Mission YOU MADE IT & WHAT A SIGHT!!! Everyone is safe and now have enough supplies to make it back down the mountain. Facts: • Mount Everest is over 60 million years old • The summit is the border of Nepal to the South and China or Tibet on the North Created by Claire Fountain, s2560706

  15. Mt Everest Rescue Mission You have reached a huge incline in the mountain, and it looks risky. The weather has worsened leaving you with hardly any visibility and it’s slippery under foot. You need to take out you climbing gear and check your oxygen tanks as you reach higher altitudes. Note: As you climb higher there is not enough oxygen to breath. To ensure this doesn’t happen climbers carry oxygen bottles. You have two cliff faces to choose from: Will you take the steepest incline to the left as it may be steeper but not so far to go? Or take the cliff climb to the right? It’s further to go but your map tells you the first flag point is just over that incline. Steep Incline to the Left Long Incline to the Right

  16. Mt Everest Rescue Mission YOU HAVE SLIPPED!!!! The incline was to steep and too wet from all the rain. Looks like your adventure has come to the end and now you need a rescue party.

  17. Mt Everest Rescue Mission The weather has continued to worsen. You can see some shelter up ahead, maybe its time to take a break and regain your strength. Did you know? Approximately 4,000 people have attempted to climb Mt Everest. 660 have been successful whilst another 142 have died trying. You have two ways ahead: Do you take a right into the rocky peaks to seek shelter and wait the storm out? Or do you keep trekking on as people are relying on you to get them home? Seek Shelter Trek on

  18. Mt Everest Rescue Mission YOU HAVE WALKED STRAIGHT OFF A CLIFF!!!! Note: Climbing Mt Everest the weather can quickly change. Sometimes visibility is that bad where climbers cannot see, they take wrong turn and walk straight of a cliff. Normally when this happens, climbers seek shelter in a cave until the weather improves.

  19. Mt Everest Rescue Mission That was a smart choice, the weather turned into a snow storm. You are now nicely rested and ready to keep going on your mission. Note: Climbing Mt Everest the weather can quickly change. Sometimes visibility is that bad where climbers cannot see, they take wrong turn and walk straight of a cliff. Normally when this happens, climbers seek shelter in a cave until the weather improves You have two ways ahead: Do you the steepest and shortest incline to the right? Or do you go straight ahead ground? It may take longer to get to the summit, but it’s less risky. Steep Incline Straight Ahead

  20. Mt Everest Rescue Mission Only one way up, a narrow walk way between 2 cliffs gives you easy access and a short cut too the summit. Did you know? Everest grows by about a quarter of an inch (0.25”) every year. Straight ahead through the cliffs. Straight Ahead
