Difficulty Mostly non-technical climb regardless on which of the two normal routes you choose. On the south you have to deal with a dangerous ice fall and Hillary step, a short section of rock, and on the north side there are some short technical passages. On both routes(permanent) fixed ropes are placed at the tricky sections.the altitude is main obstacle. Nowadays also crowding is mentioned as factor of difficulty. 

Our Climbing mainly starts from the base camp on the north of  Khumbu glacier, where all the climbers gather with lots of excitement and passion for the preparation of expedition to conquer the highest peak. Team puts 4 camps via south ridge situating base camp at the height of 5300m, Camp-1 at 5900m, Camp-2 at 6200m to 6400m, Camp-3 at 7300m and finally the last camp i.e. Camp-4 take place at the height of 7925m on South Col. Named as “The Khumbu Ice Fall” situated between the Base Camp and the Camp-1 which is the most dangerous part of the climb during the entire journey.
