Chomolungma is the correct name, and aye so much better.

I do like your shot of Fleetwith Pike Nick.

Yup seems to be if you are very reasonably fit, for a price they'll check the ropes and the ladders and drag you up there.

But it's also into a place where you cannot survive, simply not enougth oxygen, if you make it to the top you are effectively dying, and if you turn for the worst, other than trying to drag you down there's not much anybody can do for you.  And if you do succumb you will forever be on that mountain perfectly preserved and often lying there for all that follow to see.

Some of the Sherpas can apparently (correct me if I am wrong) get from base camp, to the summit and back without oxygen within a day. 

I like the rule of leave nothing but foot steps.  But I'm just a walker of wee hills.
